Emerging evidence indicating dimer assembly by pairs of
ribosomes suggests yet unknown folding mechanisms involving
two nascent chains. Here, we show that co-translational
ribosome pairing allows their nascent chains to ‘chaperone
each other’, thus enabling the formation of coiled-coil
homodimers from subunits that misfold individually. We
developed an integrated single-molecule fluorescence and
force spectroscopy approach to probe the folding and
assembly of two nascent chains extending from nearby
ribosomes, using the intermediate filament lamin as a model
system. Ribosome proximity during early translation stages
is found to be critical: when interactions between nascent
chains are inhibited or delayed, they become trapped in
stable misfolded states that are no longer
assembly-competent. Conversely, early interactions allow the
two nascent chains to nucleate native-like quaternary
structures that grow in size and stability as translation
advances. We conjecture that protein folding mechanisms
enabled by ribosome cooperation are more broadly relevant to
intermediate filaments and other protein classes.},
