Bacterial Hsp90 Facilitates the Degradation of Aggregation-Prone Hsp70-Hsp40 Substrates.

ABSTRACT: In eukaryotes, the 90-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp90s) are profusely studied chaperones that, together with 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s), control protein homeostasis. In bacteria, however, the function of Hsp90 (HtpG) and its collaboration with Hsp70 (DnaK) remains poorly characterized. To uncover physiological processes that depend on HtpG and DnaK, we performed comparative quantitative proteomic analyses of insoluble and total protein fractions from unstressed wild-type (WT) Escherichia coli and from knockout mutants ΔdnaKdnaJ (ΔKJ), ΔhtpG (ΔG), and ΔdnaKdnaJΔhtpG (ΔKJG). Whereas the ΔG mutant showed no detectable proteomic differences with wild-type, ΔKJ expressed more chaperones, proteases and ribosomes and expressed dramatically less metabolic and respiratory enzymes. Unexpectedly, we found that the triple mutant ΔKJG showed higher levels of metabolic and respiratory enzymes than ΔKJ, suggesting that bacterial Hsp90 mediates the degradation of aggregation-prone Hsp70-Hsp40 substrates. Further in vivo experiments suggest that such Hsp90-mediated degradation possibly occurs through the HslUV protease.

Bacterial Hsp90 mediates the degradation of aggregation-prone Hsp70-Hsp40 substrates preferentially by the HslUV protease

Project description:Whereas in eukaryotic cells Hsp90s are extensively studied in bacteria, the function of Hsp90 (HtpG) and its functional relationship with Hsp70 (DnaK) remains unknown. To uncover physiological processes depending on HtpG and DnaK, we performed comparative quantitative proteomic analyses of insoluble and total protein fractions from unstressed wild type E. coli, and from knockout mutants ΔdnaKdnaJ (ΔKJ), ΔhtpG (ΔG) and ΔdnaKdnaJΔhtpG (ΔKJG) and compared their growth rates under heat-stress also with ΔdnaKdnaJΔhslV.

Hsp104 facilitates the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation of disease-associated and aggregation-prone substrates.

Project description:Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). More than 60 disease-associated proteins are substrates for the ERAD pathway due to the presence of missense or nonsense mutations. In yeast, the Hsp104 molecular chaperone disaggregates detergent-insoluble ERAD substrates, but the spectrum of disease-associated ERAD substrates that may be aggregation prone is unknown. To determine if Hsp104 recognizes aggregation-prone ERAD substrates associated with human diseases, we developed yeast expression systems for a hydrophobic lipid-binding protein, apolipoprotein B (ApoB), along with a chimeric protein harboring a nucleotide-binding domain from the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) into which disease-causing mutations were introduced. We discovered that Hsp104 facilitates the degradation of ER-associated ApoB as well as a truncated CFTR chimera in which a premature stop codon corresponds to a disease-causing mutation. Chimeras containing a wild-type version of the CFTR domain or a different mutation were stable and thus Hsp104 independent. We also discovered that the detergent solubility of the unstable chimera was lower than the stable chimeras, and Hsp104 helped retrotranslocate the unstable chimera from the ER, consistent with disaggregase activity. To determine why the truncated chimera was unstable, we next performed molecular dynamics simulations and noted significant unraveling of the CFTR nucleotide-binding domain. Because human cells lack Hsp104, these data indicate that an alternate disaggregase or mechanism facilitates the removal of aggregation-prone, disease-causing ERAD substrates in their native environments.

The cochaperone CHIP marks Hsp70- and Hsp90-bound substrates for degradation through a very flexible mechanism.

Project description:Some molecular chaperones are involved not only in assisting the folding of proteins but also, given appropriate conditions, in their degradation. This is the case for Hsp70 and Hsp90 which, in concert with the cochaperone CHIP, direct their bound substrate to degradation through ubiquitination. We generated complexes between the chaperones (Hsp70 or Hsp90), the cochaperone CHIP and, as substrate, a p53 variant containing the GST protein (p53-TMGST). Both ternary complexes (Hsp70:p53-TMGST:CHIP and Hsp90:p53-TMGST:CHIP) ubiquitinated the substrate at a higher efficiency than in the absence of the chaperones. The 3D structures of the two complexes, obtained using a combination of cryoelectron microscopy and crosslinking mass spectrometry, showed the substrate located between the chaperone and the cochaperone, suggesting a ubiquitination mechanism in which the chaperone-bound substrate is presented to CHIP. These complexes are inherently flexible, which is important for the ubiquitination process.

Dynamical Structures of Hsp70 and Hsp70-Hsp40 Complexes.

Project description:Protein misfolding and aggregation are pathological events that place a significant amount of stress on the maintenance of protein homeostasis (proteostasis). For prevention and repair of protein misfolding and aggregation, cells are equipped with robust mechanisms that mainly rely on molecular chaperones. Two classes of molecular chaperones, heat shock protein 70 kDa (Hsp70) and Hsp40, recognize and bind to misfolded proteins, preventing their toxic biomolecular aggregation and enabling refolding or targeted degradation. Here, we review the current state of structural biology of Hsp70 and Hsp40-Hsp70 complexes and examine the link between their structures, dynamics, and functions. We highlight the power of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to untangle complex relationships behind molecular chaperones and their mechanism(s) of action.

Hsp70- and Hsp90-mediated proteasomal degradation underlies TPI sugarkill pathogenesis in Drosophila.

Project description:Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency is a severe glycolytic enzymopathy that causes progressive locomotor impairment and neurodegeneration, susceptibility to infection, and premature death. The recessive missense TPI(sugarkill) mutation in Drosophila melanogaster exhibits phenotypes analogous to human TPI deficiency such as progressive locomotor impairment, neurodegeneration, and reduced life span. We have shown that the TPI(sugarkill) protein is an active stable dimer; however, the mutant protein is turned over by the proteasome reducing cellular levels of this glycolytic enzyme. As proteasome function is often coupled with molecular chaperone activity, we hypothesized that TPI(sugarkill) is recognized by molecular chaperones that mediate the proteasomal degradation of the mutant protein. Coimmunoprecipitation data and analyses of TPI(sugarkill) turnover in animals with reduced or enhanced molecular chaperone activity indicate that both Hsp90 and Hsp70 are important for targeting TPI(sugarkill) for degradation. Furthermore, molecular chaperone and proteasome activity modified by pharmacological or genetic manipulations resulted in improved TPI(sugarkill) protein levels and rescue some but not all of the disease phenotypes suggesting that TPI deficiency pathology is complex. Overall, these data demonstrate a surprising role for Hsp70 and Hsp90 in the progression of neural dysfunction associated with TPI deficiency.

Selective accumulation of aggregation-prone proteasome substrates in response to proteotoxic stress.

Project description:Conditions causing an increase in misfolded or aberrant proteins can impair the activity of the ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS). This observation is of particular interest, given the fact that proteotoxic stress is closely associated with a large variety of disorders. Although impairment of the UPS appears to be a general consequence of proteotoxic insults, the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here, we show that heat shock-induced proteotoxic stress resulted in conjugation of ubiquitin to detergent-insoluble protein aggregates, which coincided with reduced levels of free ubiquitin and impediment of ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation. Interestingly, whereas soluble proteasome substrates returned to normal levels after a transient accumulation, the levels of an aggregation-prone substrate remained high even when the free ubiquitin levels were restored. Consistently, overexpression of ubiquitin prevented accumulation of soluble but not aggregation-prone substrates in thermally stressed cells. Notably, cells were also unable to resume degradation of aggregation-prone substrates after treatment with the translation inhibitor puromycin, indicating that selective accumulation of aggregation-prone proteins is a consistent feature of proteotoxic stress. Our data suggest that the failure of the UPS to clear aggregated proteins in the aftermath of proteotoxic stress episodes may contribute to the selective deposition of aggregation-prone proteins in conformational diseases.

Mechanisms for regulation of Hsp70 function by Hsp40.

Project description:The Hsp70 family members play an essential role in cellular protein metabolism by acting as polypeptide-binding and release factors that interact with nonnative regions of proteins at different stages of their life cycles. Hsp40 cochaperone proteins regulate complex formation between Hsp70 and client proteins. Herein, literature is reviewed that describes the mechanisms by which Hsp40 proteins interact with Hsp70 to specify its cellular functions.

A curcumin analogue GO-Y030 depletes cancer stem cells by inhibiting the interaction between the HSP70/HSP40 complex and its substrates.

Project description:Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are proposed to be involved in tumor initiation and play important roles in cancer relapse, metastasis, and drug resistance. Therefore, the targeting of CSCs has potential for effective anticancer therapies. Curcumin is one of the most widely characterized phytochemicals with tumor-suppressive potential. GO-Y030 is a novel curcumin analogue exhibiting a much stronger growth-inhibitory effect than curcumin. In the present study, we verified the potency of GO-Y030 against a CSC population. We observed that GO-Y030 suppressed CSC sphere-forming ability in several cancer cell lines. Interestingly, a specific inhibitor of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 also exhibited effects similar to GO-Y030 (i.e. inhibition of CSC sphere formation and upregulation of HSP70 and HSP40 protein expression), suggesting that HSP70 and/or HSP40 might be target molecules of GO-Y030. We then performed an in vitro HSP70/HSP40-mediated refolding activity assay and observed that chaperone activity was efficiently inhibited by GO-Y030. Finally, we performed a substrate-binding assay to show that GO-Y030 reduced the binding of both HSP70 and HSP40 with their substrates. HSPs prevent denaturation or unfolding of client proteins under stressful conditions such as high temperature. Because CSCs by nature adapt to various stresses by reinforcing protein-folding activity, the function of HSP70/HSP40 is important for the maintenance of CSC population. Our data suggest that GO-Y030 may impair stress tolerance in CSCs by inhibiting the interaction of HSP70/HSP40 with their substrate proteins and disrupting the function of HSP70/HSP40, thereby contributing to a reduction of the CSC population.

Genome-wide analysis and characterization of HSP gene families (HSP20, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, HSP90) in the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) (Diptera: Culicidae).

Project description:The heat shock protein (HSP) gene families, present across prokaryotes to eukaryotes, play vital roles in growth, development, and heat resistance processes. While HSP proteins have been identified and characterized in various species, this study achieved the first genome-wide identification and characterization of HSP proteins in the Aedes aegypti genome. This study identified and assessed 80 potential HSP genes in Ae. aegypti. The phylogenetic relationships of HSP genes were investigated in Ae. aegypti, Anopheles stephensi, and Drosophila melanogaster. Additionally, the structural features, chromosomal locations, protein characteristics, 3D structure, protein-protein interactions, and microsatellites associated with HSP proteins were examined in Ae. aegypti. The phylogenetic analysis of HSP gene families revealed distinct intra-group relationships for each HSP group. Each family exhibited relatively conserved genetic structures and motif components. In the expression analysis of growth and development, high expression was observed in certain HSP20 and HSP70 genes, while others exhibited low expression. Notably, sex-dependent expression differences were observed, particularly in HSP20 genes. These findings, the relationships, evolution, and modification of HSP gene families are illuminated by these comprehensive findings, and a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying growth, development, and heat resistance in vector organisms is facilitated.

The Hsp70-Hsp90 co-chaperone Hop/Stip1 shifts the proteostatic balance from folding towards degradation.

Project description:Hop/Stip1/Sti1 is thought to be essential as a co-chaperone to facilitate substrate transfer between the Hsp70 and Hsp90 molecular chaperones. Despite this proposed key function for protein folding and maturation, it is not essential in a number of eukaryotes and bacteria lack an ortholog. We set out to identify and to characterize its eukaryote-specific function. Human cell lines and the budding yeast with deletions of the Hop/Sti1 gene display reduced proteasome activity due to inefficient capping of the core particle with regulatory particles. Unexpectedly, knock-out cells are more proficient at preventing protein aggregation and at promoting protein refolding. Without the restraint by Hop, a more efficient folding activity of the prokaryote-like Hsp70-Hsp90 complex, which can also be demonstrated in vitro, compensates for the proteasomal defect and ensures the proteostatic equilibrium. Thus, cells may act on the level and/or activity of Hop to shift the proteostatic balance between folding and degradation.
