The yeast Hsp70 homolog Ssb: a chaperone for general de novo protein folding and a nanny for specific intrinsically disordered protein domains.

ABSTRACT: Activation of the heterotrimeric kinase SNF1 via phosphorylation of a specific residue within the ? subunit is essential for the release from glucose repression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When glucose is available, SNF1 is maintained in the dephosphorylated, inactive state by the phosphatase Glc7-Reg1. Recent findings suggest that Bmh and Ssb combine their unique client-binding properties to interact with the regulatory region of the SNF1 ? subunit and by that stabilize a conformation of SNF1, which is accessible for Glc7-Reg1-dependent dephosphorylation. Together, the 14-3-3 protein Bmh and the Hsp70 homolog Ssb comprise a novel chaperone module, which is required to maintain proper glucose repression in the yeast S. cerevisiae.

Project description:CK2, a serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) kinase present in eukaryotic cells, is known to have a vast number of substrates. We have recently shown that it localizes to nuclei and at pores between hyphal compartments in Magnaporthe oryzae We performed a pulldown proteomics analysis of M. oryzae CK2 catalytic subunit MoCKa to detect interacting proteins. The MoCKa pulldown was enriched for septum and nucleolus proteins and intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) containing a CK2 phosphorylation motif that is proposed to destabilize and unfold ?-helices. This points to a function for CK2 phosphorylation and corresponding phosphatase dephosphorylation in the formation of functional protein-protein aggregates and protein-RNA/DNA binding. To test this as widely as possible, we used secondary data downloaded from databases from a large range of M. oryzae experiments, as well as data for a relatively closely related plant-pathogenic fungus, Fusarium graminearum We found that CKa expression was strongly positively correlated with Ser/Thr phosphatases, as well as with disaggregases (HSP104, YDJ1, and SSA1) and an autophagy-indicating protein (ATG8). The latter points to increased protein aggregate formation at high levels of CKa expression. Our results suggest a general role for CK2 in chaperoning aggregation and disaggregation of IDPs and their binding to proteins, DNA, and RNA.IMPORTANCE CK2 is a eukaryotic conserved kinase enzyme complex that phosphorylates proteins. CK2 is known to phosphorylate a large number of proteins and is constitutively active, and thus a "normal" role for a kinase in a signaling cascade might not be the case for CK2. Previous results on localization and indications from the literature point to a function for CK2 phosphorylation in shaping and folding of proteins, especially intrinsically disordered proteins, which constitute about 30% of eukaryotic proteins. We used pulldown of interacting proteins and data downloaded from a large range of transcriptomic experiments in M. oryzae and complemented these with data downloaded from a large range of transcriptomic experiments in Fusarium graminearum We found support for a general role for CK2 in aggregation and disaggregation of IDPs and their binding to proteins, DNA, and RNA-interactions that could explain the importance of CK2 in eukaryotic cell function and disease.
