The mechanism by which the large double-ring structures known as chaperonins facilitate the ATP-dependent folding to native form of a large number of newly synthesized and newly translocated polypeptides has been a subject of considerable interest in the general area of protein kinesis. Recent structural and functional studies of the bacterial chaperonin GroEL have begun to inform on this process, in particular conveying information on what happens to the protein substrate during such a reaction. Here we summarize these findings and discuss their implications, and also consider issues that remain unsettled, likely targets of future experimentation.
