It is still unclear what molecular forces drive chaperone-mediated protein
folding. Here, we obtain a detailed mechanistic understanding of the forces that
dictate the four key steps of chaperone-client interaction: initial binding,
complex stabilization, folding, and release. Contrary to the common belief that
chaperones recognize unfolding intermediates by their hydrophobic nature, we
discover that the model chaperone Spy uses long-range electrostatic interactions
to rapidly bind to its unfolded client protein Im7. Short-range hydrophobic
interactions follow, which serve to stabilize the complex. Hydrophobic collapse
of the client protein then drives its folding. By burying hydrophobic residues in
its core, the client's affinity to Spy decreases, which causes client release. By
allowing the client to fold itself, Spy circumvents the need for client-specific
folding instructions. This mechanism might help explain how chaperones can
facilitate the folding of various unrelated proteins.
