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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:Temperature dependency of viral diseases in ectotherms has been an important scientific issue for decades, while the molecular mechanism behind this phenomenon remains largely mysterious. In this study, deploying infection with grass carp reovirus (GCRV), a double-stranded RNA aquareovirus, as a model system, we demonstrated that the cross talk between HSP70 and outer capsid protein VP7 of GCRV determines temperature-dependent viral entry. Multitranscriptomic analysis identified HSP70 as a key player in the temperature-dependent pathogenesis of GCRV infection. Further biochemical, small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown, pharmacological inhibition, and microscopic approaches revealed that the primary plasma membrane-anchored HSP70 interacts with VP7 to facilitate viral entry during the early phase of GCRV infection. Moreover, VP7 functions as a key coordinator protein to interact with multiple housekeeping proteins and regulate receptor gene expression, concomitantly facilitating viral entry. This work illuminates a previously unidentified immune evasion mechanism by which an aquatic virus hijacks heat shock response-related proteins to enhance viral entry, pinpointing targeted preventives and therapeutics for aquatic viral diseases. IMPORTANCE The seasonality of viral diseases in ectotherms is a prevailing phenomenon in the aquatic environment, which causes huge economic losses every year worldwide and hinders sustainable development of the aquaculture industry. Nevertheless, our understanding of the molecular mechanism of how temperature determines the pathogenesis of aquatic viruses remains largely unexplored. In this study, by deploying grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection as a model system, we demonstrated that temperature-dependent, primarily membrane-localized HSP70 interacts with major outer capsid protein VP7 of GCRV to bridge the virus-host interaction, reshape the host's behaviors, and concomitantly facilitate viral entry. Our work unveils a central role of HSP70 in the temperature-dependent pathogenesis of aquatic viruses and provides a theoretical basis for the formulation of prevention and control strategies for aquatic viral diseases.
