Chaperonin Abundance Enhances Bacterial Fitness

The ability of chaperonins to buffer mutations that affect protein folding pathways suggests that their abundance should be evolutionarily advantageous. Here, we investigate the effect of chaperonin overproduction on cellular fitness in Escherichia coli. We demonstrate that chaperonin abundance conf...
