Solubility-promoting function of Hsp90 contributes to client maturation and robust cell growth.

ABSTRACT: The Hsp90 chaperone is required for the maturation of signal transduction clients, including many kinases and nuclear steroid hormone receptors. The binding and hydrolysis of ATP by Hsp90 drive conformational rearrangements in three structure domains. Two intrinsically disordered regions of Hsp90 located between these domains and at the C terminus have traditionally been considered to impart flexibility. We discovered that the charged nature of these acid-rich disordered regions imparts a solubility-promoting function to Hsp90 that is important for its cellular activity in yeast. Both the solubility-promoting function and ATPase activity must occur in the same Hsp90 molecule in order to support robust growth, suggesting that the solubility-promoting function is required during the ATP-driven client maturation process. Expression of model clients together with Hsp90 variants indicated interdependent solubilities mediated by the aggregation propensities of both the client and Hsp90. We propose a model whereby the charge-rich disordered regions of Hsp90 serve a solubility-promoting function important for complexes with aggregation-prone clients. These findings demonstrate a novel biological function of the intrinsically disordered regions in Hsp90 and provide a compelling rationale for why their charged properties are conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution.

Project description:Hsp90 constitutes one of the major chaperone machinery in the cell. The Hsp70 assists Hsp90 in its client maturation though the underlying basis of the Hsp70 role remains to be explored. In the present study, using S. cerevisiae strain expressing Ssa1 as sole Ssa Hsp70, we identified novel mutations in the nucleotide-binding domain of yeast Ssa1 Hsp70 (Ssa1-T175N and Ssa1-D158N) that adversely affect the maturation of Hsp90 clients v-Src and Ste11. The identified Ssa1 amino acids critical for Hsp90 function were also found to be conserved across species such as in E.coli DnaK and the constitutive Hsp70 isoform (HspA8) in humans. These mutations are distal to the C-terminus of Hsp70, that primarily mediates Hsp90 interaction through the bridge protein Sti1, and proximal to Ydj1 (Hsp40 co-chaperone of Hsp70 family) binding region. Intriguingly, we found that the bridge protein Sti1 is critical for cellular viability in cells expressing Ssa1-T175N (A1-T175N) or Ssa1-D158N (A1-D158N) as sole Ssa Hsp70. The growth defect was specific for sti1Δ, as deletion of none of the other Hsp90 co-chaperones showed lethality in A1-T175N or A1-D158N. Mass-spectrometry based whole proteome analysis of A1-T175N cells lacking Sti1 showed an altered abundance of various kinases and transcription factors suggesting compromised Hsp90 activity. Further proteomic analysis showed that pathways involved in signaling, signal transduction, and protein phosphorylation are markedly downregulated in the A1-T175N upon repressing Sti1 expression using doxycycline regulatable promoter. In contrast to Ssa1, the homologous mutations in Ssa4 (Ssa4-T175N/D158N), the stress inducible Hsp70 isoform, supported cell growth even in the absence of Sti1. Overall, our data suggest that Ydj1 competes with Hsp90 for binding to Hsp70, and thus regulates Hsp90 interaction with the nucleotide-binding domain of Hsp70. The study thus provides new insight into the Hsp70-mediated regulation of Hsp90 and broadens our understanding of the intricate complexities of the Hsp70-Hsp90 network.
