Short summary
Trigger factor (TF) is a conserved bacterial molecular chaperone that exists in a monomer–dimer equilibrium in solution. It binds to the ribosome as a monomer to facilitate folding of nascent polypeptide chains. We showed that dimeric TF exhibits distinct domain dynamics and conformational polymorphism and that TF contains multiple substrate binding sites that are only accessible in its monomeric form. The equilibrium of TF in different oligomeric states may serve as a regulatory mechanism.
