A Chaperone Lid Ensures Efficient and Privileged Client Transfer during Tail-Anchored Protein Targeting.

ABSTRACT: Molecular chaperones play key roles in maintaining cellular proteostasis. In addition to preventing client aggregation, chaperones often relay substrates within a network while preventing off-pathway chaperones from accessing the substrate. Here we show that a conserved lid motif lining the substrate-binding groove of the Get3 ATPase enables these important functions during the targeted delivery of tail-anchored membrane proteins (TAs) to the endoplasmic reticulum. The lid prevents promiscuous TA handoff to off-pathway chaperones, and more importantly, it cooperates with the Get4/5 scaffolding complex to enable rapid and privileged TA transfer from the upstream co-chaperone Sgt2 to Get3. These findings provide a molecular mechanism by which chaperones maintain the pathway specificity of client proteins in the crowded cytosolic environment.

J-domain proteins promote client relay from Hsp70 during tail-anchored membrane protein targeting.

Project description:J-domain proteins (JDPs) play essential roles in Hsp70 function by assisting Hsp70 in client trapping and regulating the Hsp70 ATPase cycle. Here, we report that JDPs can further enhance the targeting competence of Hsp70-bound client proteins during tail-anchored protein (TA) biogenesis. In the guided-entry-of-tail-anchored protein pathway in yeast, nascent TAs are captured by cytosolic Hsp70 and sequentially relayed to downstream chaperones, Sgt2 and Get3, for delivery to the ER. We found that two JDPs, Ydj1 and Sis1, function in parallel to support TA targeting to the ER in vivo. Biochemical analyses showed that, while Ydj1 and Sis1 differ in their ability to assist Hsp70 in TA trapping, both JDPs enhance the transfer of Hsp70-bound TAs to Sgt2. The ability of the JDPs to regulate the ATPase cycle of Hsp70 is essential for enhancing the transfer competence of Hsp70-bound TAs in vitro and for supporting TA insertion in vivo. These results demonstrate a role of JDPs in regulating the conformation of Hsp70-bound clients during membrane protein biogenesis.

Mechanism of Assembly of a Substrate Transfer Complex during Tail-anchored Protein Targeting.

Project description:Tail-anchored (TA) proteins, defined as having a single transmembrane helix at their C terminus, are post-translationally targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by the guided entry of TA proteins (GET) pathway. In yeast, the handover of TA substrates is mediated by the heterotetrameric Get4/Get5 complex (Get4/5), which tethers the co-chaperone Sgt2 to the targeting factor, the Get3 ATPase. Binding of Get4/5 to Get3 is critical for efficient TA targeting; however, questions remain about the formation of the Get3·Get4/5 complex. Here we report crystal structures of a Get3·Get4/5 complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 2.8 and 6.0 Å that reveal a novel interface between Get3 and Get4 dominated by electrostatic interactions. Kinetic and mutational analyses strongly suggest that these structures represent an on-pathway intermediate that rapidly assembles and then rearranges to the final Get3·Get4/5 complex. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the Get3·Get4/5 complex is dominated by a single Get4/5 heterotetramer bound to one monomer of a Get3 dimer, uncovering an intriguing asymmetry in the Get4/5 heterotetramer upon Get3 binding. Ultrafast diffusion-limited electrostatically driven Get3·Get4/5 association enables Get4/5 to rapidly sample and capture Get3 at different stages of the GET pathway.

Dynamic stability of Sgt2 enables selective and privileged client handover in a chaperone triad.

Project description:Membrane protein biogenesis poses acute challenges to protein homeostasis, and how they are selectively escorted to the target membrane is not well understood. Here we address this question in the guided-entry-of-tail-anchored protein (GET) pathway, in which tail-anchored membrane proteins (TAs) are relayed through an Hsp70-Sgt2-Get3 chaperone triad for targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum. We show that the Hsp70 ATPase cycle and TA substrate drive dimeric Sgt2 from a wide-open conformation to a closed state, in which TAs are protected by both substrate binding domains of Sgt2. Get3 is privileged to receive TA from closed Sgt2, whereas off-pathway chaperones remove TAs from open Sgt2. Sgt2 closing is less favorable with suboptimal GET substrates, which are rejected during or after the Hsp70-to-Sgt2 handover. Our results demonstrate how fine-tuned conformational dynamics in Sgt2 enable hydrophobic TAs to be effectively funneled onto their dedicated targeting factor while also providing a mechanism for substrate selection.

Mechanisms of Tail-Anchored Membrane Protein Targeting and Insertion.

Project description:Proper localization of membrane proteins is essential for the function of biological membranes and for the establishment of organelle identity within a cell. Molecular machineries that mediate membrane protein biogenesis need to not only achieve a high degree of efficiency and accuracy, but also prevent off-pathway aggregation events that can be detrimental to cells. The posttranslational targeting of tail-anchored proteins (TAs) provides tractable model systems to probe these fundamental issues. Recent advances in understanding TA-targeting pathways reveal sophisticated molecular machineries that drive and regulate these processes. These findings also suggest how an interconnected network of targeting factors, cochaperones, and quality control machineries together ensures robust membrane protein biogenesis.

Guiding tail-anchored membrane proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum in a chaperone cascade.

Project description:Newly synthesized integral membrane proteins must traverse the aqueous cytosolic environment before arrival at their membrane destination and are prone to aggregation, misfolding, and mislocalization during this process. The biogenesis of integral membrane proteins therefore poses acute challenges to protein homeostasis within a cell and requires the action of effective molecular chaperones. Chaperones that mediate membrane protein targeting not only need to protect the nascent transmembrane domains from improper exposure in the cytosol, but also need to accurately select client proteins and actively guide their clients to the appropriate target membrane. The mechanisms by which cellular chaperones work together to coordinate this complex process are only beginning to be delineated. Here, we summarize recent advances in studies of the tail-anchored membrane protein targeting pathway, which revealed a network of chaperones, cochaperones, and targeting factors that together drive and regulate this essential process. This pathway is emerging as an excellent model system to decipher the mechanism by which molecular chaperones overcome the multiple challenges during post-translational membrane protein biogenesis and to gain insights into the functional organization of multicomponent chaperone networks.

A protean clamp guides membrane targeting of tail-anchored proteins.

Project description:Proper localization of proteins to target membranes is a fundamental cellular process. How the nature and dynamics of the targeting complex help guide substrate proteins to the target membrane is not understood for most pathways. Here, we address this question for the conserved ATPase guided entry of tail-anchored protein 3 (Get3), which targets the essential class of tail-anchored proteins (TAs) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy showed that, contrary to previous models of a static closed Get3•TA complex, Get3 samples open conformations on the submillisecond timescale upon TA binding, generating a fluctuating "protean clamp" that stably traps the substrate. Point mutations at the ATPase site bias Get3 toward closed conformations, uncouple TA binding from induced Get3•Get4/5 disassembly, and inhibit the ER targeting of the Get3•TA complex. These results demonstrate an essential role of substrate-induced Get3 dynamics in driving TA targeting to the membrane, and reveal a tightly coupled channel of communication between the TA-binding site, ATPase site, and effector interaction surfaces of Get3. Our results provide a precedent for large-scale dynamics in a substrate-bound chaperone, which provides an effective mechanism to retain substrate proteins with high affinity while also generating functional switches to drive vectorial cellular processes.

Multiple selection filters ensure accurate tail-anchored membrane protein targeting.

Project description:Accurate protein localization is crucial to generate and maintain organization in all cells. Achieving accuracy is challenging, as the molecular signals that dictate a protein's cellular destination are often promiscuous. A salient example is the targeting of an essential class of tail-anchored (TA) proteins, whose sole defining feature is a transmembrane domain near their C-terminus. Here we show that the Guided Entry of Tail-anchored protein (GET) pathway selects TA proteins destined to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) utilizing distinct molecular steps, including differential binding by the co-chaperone Sgt2 and kinetic proofreading after ATP hydrolysis by the targeting factor Get3. Further, the different steps select for distinct physicochemical features of the TA substrate. The use of multiple selection filters may be general to protein biogenesis pathways that must distinguish correct and incorrect substrates based on minor differences.

Structural elements in the flexible tail of the co-chaperone p23 coordinate client binding and progression of the Hsp90 chaperone cycle.

Project description:The co-chaperone p23 is a central part of the Hsp90 machinery. It stabilizes the closed conformation of Hsp90, inhibits its ATPase and is important for client maturation. Yet, how this is achieved has remained enigmatic. Here, we show that a tryptophan residue in the proximal region of the tail decelerates the ATPase by allosterically switching the conformation of the catalytic loop in Hsp90. We further show by NMR spectroscopy that the tail interacts with the Hsp90 client binding site via a conserved helix. This helical motif in the p23 tail also binds to the client protein glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the free and Hsp90-bound form. In vivo experiments confirm the physiological importance of ATPase modulation and the role of the evolutionary conserved helical motif for GR activation in the cellular context.

Conserved targeting information in mammalian and fungal peroxisomal tail-anchored proteins.

Project description:The targeting signals and mechanisms of soluble peroxisomal proteins are well understood, whereas less is known about the signals and targeting routes of peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMP). Pex15 and PEX26, tail-anchored proteins in yeast and mammals, respectively, exert a similar cellular function in the recruitment of AAA peroxins at the peroxisomal membrane. But despite their common role, Pex15 and PEX26 are neither homologs nor they are known to follow similar targeting principles. Here we show that Pex15 targets to peroxisomes in mammalian cells, and PEX26 reaches peroxisomes when expressed in yeast cells. In both proteins C-terminal targeting information is sufficient for correct sorting to the peroxisomal membrane. In yeast, PEX26 follows the pathway that also ensures correct targeting of Pex15: PEX26 enters the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a GET-dependent and Pex19-independent manner. Like in yeast, PEX26 enters the ER in mammalian cells, however, independently of GET/TRC40. These data show that conserved targeting information is employed in yeast and higher eukaryotes during the biogenesis of peroxisomal tail-anchored proteins.

Precise timing of ATPase activation drives targeting of tail-anchored proteins.

Project description:The localization of tail-anchored (TA) proteins, whose transmembrane domain resides at the extreme C terminus, presents major challenges to cellular protein targeting machineries. In eukaryotic cells, the highly conserved ATPase, guided entry of tail-anchored protein 3 (Get3), coordinates the delivery of TA proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum. How Get3 uses its ATPase cycle to drive this fundamental process remains unclear. Here, we establish a quantitative framework for the Get3 ATPase cycle and show that ATP specifically induces multiple conformational changes in Get3 that culminate in its ATPase activation through tetramerization. Further, upstream and downstream components actively regulate the Get3 ATPase cycle to ensure the precise timing of ATP hydrolysis in the pathway: the Get4/5 TA loading complex locks Get3 in the ATP-bound state and primes it for TA protein capture, whereas the TA substrate induces tetramerization of Get3 and activates its ATPase reaction 100-fold. Our results establish a precise model for how Get3 harnesses the energy from ATP to drive the membrane localization of TA proteins and illustrate how dimerization-activated nucleotide hydrolases regulate diverse cellular processes.
