The ribosome-associated chaperone trigger factor (TF) of Escherichia coli interacts with a variety of newly synthesized polypeptides to assist their correct folding. Here, we report that the TF of thermophilic eubacterium, Thermus thermophilus, arrested spontaneous folding of green fluorescent protein by forming a 1:1 binary complex. The complex was isolable by gel-filtration but was shown to be dynamic because green fluorescent protein was released by α-casein in large excess. Unexpectedly, EDTA completely abolished the folding-arrest activity of TF, and analysis revealed that the TF from our preparation contained ∼0.5 mol Zn2+/mol TF. The folding-arrest activity of TF that was saturated with Zn2+ (∼1 mol/mol TF) was twice as efficient as that of untreated TF. Thus, chaperone activity of thermophilic TF is Zn2+-dependent.
