Fe-S Cluster Hsp70 Chaperones: The ATPase Cycle and Protein Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Hsp70 chaperones and their obligatory J-protein cochaperones function together in many cellular processes. Via cycles of binding to short stretches of exposed amino acids on substrate proteins, Hsp70/J-protein chaperones not only facilitate protein folding but also drive intracellular protein transport, biogenesis of cellular structures, and disassembly of protein complexes. The biogenesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters is one of the critical cellular processes that require Hsp70/J-protein action. Fe-S clusters are ubiquitous cofactors critical for activity of proteins performing diverse functions in, for example, metabolism, RNA/DNA transactions, and environmental sensing. This biogenesis process can be divided into two sequential steps: first, the assembly of an Fe-S cluster on a conserved scaffold protein, and second, the transfer of the cluster from the scaffold to a recipient protein. The second step involves Hsp70/J-protein chaperones. Via binding to the scaffold, chaperones enable cluster transfer to recipient proteins. In eukaryotic cells mitochondria have a key role in Fe-S cluster biogenesis. In this review, we focus on methods that enabled us to dissect protein interactions critical for the function of Hsp70/J-protein chaperones in the mitochondrial process of Fe-S cluster biogenesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The versatile functions of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family of molecular chaperones rely on allosteric interactions between their nucleotide-binding and substrate-binding domains, NBD and SBD. Understanding the mechanism of interdomain allostery is essential to rational design of Hsp70 modulators. Yet, despite significant progress in recent years, how the two Hsp70 domains regulate each other's activity remains elusive. Covariance data from experiments and computations emerged in recent years as valuable sources of information towards gaining insights into the molecular events that mediate allostery. In the present study, conservation and covariance properties derived from both sequence and structural dynamics data are integrated with results from Perturbation Response Scanning and in vivo functional assays, so as to establish the dynamical basis of interdomain signal transduction in Hsp70s. Our study highlights the critical roles of SBD residues D481 and T417 in mediating the coupled motions of the two domains, as well as that of G506 in enabling the movements of the ?-helical lid with respect to the ?-sandwich. It also draws attention to the distinctive role of the NBD subdomains: Subdomain IA acts as a key mediator of signal transduction between the ATP- and substrate-binding sites, this function being achieved by a cascade of interactions predominantly involving conserved residues such as V139, D148, R167 and K155. Subdomain IIA, on the other hand, is distinguished by strong coevolutionary signals (with the SBD) exhibited by a series of residues (D211, E217, L219, T383) implicated in DnaJ recognition. The occurrence of coevolving residues at the DnaJ recognition region parallels the behavior recently observed at the nucleotide-exchange-factor recognition region of subdomain IIB. These findings suggest that Hsp70 tends to adapt to co-chaperone recognition and activity via coevolving residues, whereas interdomain allostery, critical to chaperoning, is robustly enabled by conserved interactions.
