The major heat shock proteins from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were identified as DnaK and GroEL equivalents by Western blotting and analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of spots isolated from dried 2-D polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels. The T. ferrooxidans chaperonins showed 70% and 80% identity with the Escherichia coli GroEL and DnaK, respectively. By using electrophoresis with a transverse pore gradient of cross-linked polyacrylamide and nondenaturing conditions followed by Western blotting, we found that the GroEL proteins from both bacteria formed a 14-mer, whereas E. coli DnaK protein existed partially as a dimer and the T. ferrooxidans DnaK-equivalent showed only a monomeric nature under our experimental conditions.
