Functionality of Class A and Class B J-protein co-chaperones with Hsp70.


ABSTRACT: At their C-termini, cytosolic Hsp70s have an EEVD tetrapeptide that interacts with J-protein co-chaperones of the B, but not A, class. This interaction is required for partnering with yeast B-type J-proteins in protein folding. Here we report conservation of this feature. Human B-type J-proteins also have a stringent EEVD requirement. Human A-type J-proteins function less well than their yeast orthologs with Hsp70?EEVD. Changes in the zinc binding domain, a domain absent in B-type J-proteins, overcomes this partial EEVD dependence. Our results suggest that the structurally similar A- and B-class J-proteins of the cytosol have evolved conserved, yet distinct, features that enhance specialized functionality of Hsp70 machinery.
