Cyclophilin-40: evidence for a dimeric complex with hsp90.

ABSTRACT: The expression of human cyclophilin 40 (CyP-40) as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein has provided a means to identify cellular components that are in association with this ubiquitous protein. When the fusion protein was coupled to a GSH affinity matrix, heat-shock protein 90 (hsp90) was found to be the predominant associated protein in all tissue extracts examined. The relatively high concentration of each of these proteins in various tissues indicates that the dimeric complex exists in concentrations that exceed those of the inactive steroid receptors of which each protein is a component. Association does not occur with heat-shock protein 70 and is not affected by cyclosporin A (CsA). Independent expression of two domains of CyP-40 permitted dissociation of N-terminal isomerase and CsA binding activity from the hsp90 binding site, which is located at the FKBP-59-like C-terminal region. The biological association of CyP-40 with hsp90 in many tissues may reflect a conjoint role in protein folding and trafficking.

Cyclophilin 40 facilitates HSP90-mediated RISC assembly in plants.

Project description:Posttranscriptional gene silencing is mediated by RNA-induced silencing complexes (RISCs) that contain AGO proteins and single-stranded small RNAs. The assembly of plant AGO1-containing RISCs depends on the molecular chaperone HSP90. Here, we demonstrate that cyclophilin 40 (CYP40), protein phosphatase 5 (PP5), and several other proteins with the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain associates with AGO1 in an HSP90-dependent manner in extracts of evacuolated tobacco protoplasts (BYL). Intriguingly, CYP40, but not the other TPR proteins, could form a complex with small RNA duplex-bound AGO1. Moreover, CYP40 that was synthesized by in-vitro translation using BYL uniquely facilitated binding of small RNA duplexes to AGO1, and as a result, increased the amount of mature RISCs that could cleave target RNAs. CYP40 was not contained in mature RISCs, indicating that the association is transient. Addition of PP5 or cyclophilin-binding drug cyclosporine A prevented the association of endogenous CYP40 with HSP90-AGO1 complex and inhibited RISC assembly. These results suggest that a complex of AGO1, HSP90, CYP40, and a small RNA duplex is a key intermediate of RISC assembly in plants.

Identification of cyclophilin-40-interacting proteins reveals potential cellular function of cyclophilin-40.

Project description:Cyclophilin-40 (CyP40) is part of the immunophilin family and is found in Hsp90-containing protein complexes. We were interested in identifying proteins that interact with CyP40. CyP40-interacting proteins in HeLa cells were identified using the tandem affinity purification approach. Adenovirus expressing human CyP40 protein (Ad-CyP40), fused with streptavidin and calmodulin binding peptides at the N terminus, was generated. Proteins were separated on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gel after tandem affinity purification. Here 10 silver-stained protein bands that were enriched in the Ad-CyP40-infected lysate and the corresponding regions in the control lysate were excised, digested by trypsin, and identified by tandem mass spectrometric analysis. Of 11 interacting proteins that were identified, 4 (RACK1, Ku70, RPS3, and NF45) were expressed in rabbit reticulocyte lysate, bacteria, and MCF-7 cells. We confirmed that these proteins interact with CyP40. We observed that RACK1 suppressed the cobalt chloride-induced, hypoxia response element-dependent luciferase activity in MCF-7 cells but not in MCF-7 stable cells expressing approximately 10% of the cellular CyP40 content. In addition, RACK1 reduced the HIF-1α protein accumulation after cobalt chloride treatment, which was not observed when the CyP40 content was down-regulated. Collectively, we conclude that reduction of the HIF-1 α protein by RACK1 is CyP40-mediated.

Binding of the cyclophilin 40 ortholog SQUINT to Hsp90 protein is required for SQUINT function in Arabidopsis.

Project description:SQN (SQUINT) is the Arabidopsis ortholog of the immunophilin CyP40 (cyclophilin 40) and promotes microRNA activity by promoting the activity of AGO1. In animals and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, CyP40 promotes protein activity in association with the protein chaperone Hsp90. To determine whether CyP40 also acts in association with Hsp90 in plants, we examined the interaction between SQN and Hsp90 in vitro and tested the importance of this interaction for the function of SQN in planta. We found that SQN interacts with cytoplasmic Hsp90 proteins but not with Hsp90 proteins localized to chloroplasts, mitochondria, or the endoplasmic reticulum. The interaction between SQN and Hsp90 in vitro requires the MEEVD domain of Hsp90, as well as several conserved amino acids within the tetratricopeptide repeat domain of SQN. Amino acid substitutions that disrupt the interaction between SQN and Hsp90 in vitro also impair the activity of SQN in planta. Our results indicate that the interaction between CyP40 and Hsp90 is conserved in plants and that this interaction is essential for the function of CyP40.

Regulation of the Hsp90-binding immunophilin, cyclophilin 40, is mediated by multiple sites for GA-binding protein (GABP).

Project description:Within steroid receptor heterocomplexes the large tetratricopeptide repeat-containing immunophilins, cyclophilin 40 (CyP40), FKBP51, and FKBP52, target a common interaction site in heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and act coordinately with Hsp90 to modulate receptor activity. The reversible nature of the interaction between the immunophilins and Hsp90 suggests that relative cellular abundance might be a key determinant of the immunophilin component within steroid receptor complexes. To investigate CyP40 gene regulation, we have isolated a 5-kilobase (kb) 5'-flanking region of the human gene and demonstrated that a approximately 50 base pair (bp) sequence adjacent to the transcription start site is essential for CyP40 basal expression. Three tandemly arranged Ets sites within this critical region were identified as binding elements for the multimeric Ets-related transcription factor, GA binding protein (GABP). Functional studies of this proximal promoter sequence, in combination with mutational analysis, confirmed these sites to be crucial for basal promoter function. Furthermore, overexpression of both GABP alpha and GABP beta subunits in Cos1 cells resulted in increased endogenous CyP40 mRNA levels. Significantly, a parallel increase in FKBP52 mRNA expression was not observed, highlighting an important difference in the mode of regulation of the CyP40 and FKBP52 genes. Our results identify GABP as a key regulator of CyP40 expression. GABP is a common target of mitogen and stress-activated pathways and may integrate these diverse extracellular signals to regulate CyP40 gene expression.

Human cyclophilin 40 unravels neurotoxic amyloids.

Project description:The accumulation of amyloidogenic proteins is a pathological hallmark of neurodegenerative disorders. The aberrant accumulation of the microtubule associating protein tau (MAPT, tau) into toxic oligomers and amyloid deposits is a primary pathology in tauopathies, the most common of which is Alzheimer's disease (AD). Intrinsically disordered proteins, like tau, are enriched with proline residues that regulate both secondary structure and aggregation propensity. The orientation of proline residues is regulated by cis/trans peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases). Here we show that cyclophilin 40 (CyP40), a PPIase, dissolves tau amyloids in vitro. Additionally, CyP40 ameliorated silver-positive and oligomeric tau species in a mouse model of tau accumulation, preserving neuronal health and cognition. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed that CyP40 interacts with tau at sites rich in proline residues. CyP40 was also able to interact with and disaggregate other aggregating proteins that contain prolines. Moreover, CyP40 lacking PPIase activity prevented its capacity for disaggregation in vitro. Finally, we describe a unique structural property of CyP40 that may permit disaggregation to occur in an energy-independent manner. This study identifies a novel human protein disaggregase and, for the first time, demonstrates its capacity to dissolve intracellular amyloids.

Cyclophilin 40 is required for microRNA activity in Arabidopsis.

Project description:Loss-of-function mutations of SQUINT (SQN)-which encodes the Arabidopsis orthologue of cyclophilin 40 (CyP40)-cause the precocious expression of adult vegetative traits, an increase in carpel number, and produce abnormal spacing of flowers in the inflorescence. Here we show that the vegetative phenotype of sqn is attributable to the elevated expression of miR156-regulated members of the SPL family of transcription factors and provide evidence that this defect is a consequence of a reduction in the activity of ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1). Support for this latter conclusion was provided by the phenotypic similarity between hypomorphic alleles of AGO1 and null alleles of SQN and by the genetic interaction between sqn and these alleles. Our results suggest that AGO1, or an AGO1-interacting protein, is a major client of CyP40 and that miR156 and its targets play a central role in the regulation of vegetative phase change in Arabidopsis.

Evidence for interaction between Hsp90 and the ER membrane complex.

Project description:Numerous putative heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90)-interacting proteins, which could represent novel folding clients or co-chaperones, have been identified in recent years. Two separate high-throughput screens in yeast uncovered genetic effects between Hsp90 and components of the ER membrane complex (EMC), which is required for tolerance to unfolded protein response stress in yeast. Herein, we provide the first experimental evidence supporting that there is a genuine interaction of Hsp90 with the EMC. We demonstrate genetic interactions between EMC2 and the known Hsp90 co-chaperone encoded by STI1, as well as Hsp90 point mutant allele-specific differences in inherent growth and Hsp90 inhibitor tolerance in the absence and presence of EMC2. In co-precipitation experiments, Hsp90 interacts with Emc2p, whether or not Emc2p contains amino acid sequences designated as a tetratricopeptide repeat motif. Yeast with multiple EMC gene deletions exhibit increased sensitivity to Hsp90 inhibitor as well as defective folding of the well-established Hsp90 folding client, the glucocorticoid receptor. Altogether, our evidence of physical, genetic, and functional interaction of Hsp90 with the EMC, as well as bioinformatic analysis of shared interactors, supports that there is a legitimate interaction between them in vivo.

Facile synthesis of a fluorescent cyclosporin a analogue to study cyclophilin 40 and cyclophilin 18 ligands.

Project description:There are strong indications for the involvement of cyclophilin 40 in diseases caused by misregulation of steroid hormone receptors, like prostate or breast cancer. To identify novel inhibitors for this immunophilin, we developed a simplified fluorescence polarization assay based on the synthesis of a fluorescein-labeled tracer. This tracer was produced by a facile four-step synthesis involving Grubbs metathesis and standard amide bond coupling, to label cyclosporin A with fluorescein. We show the binding of this tracer to Cyp40 and Cyp18 with K D values of 106 ± 13 or 12 ± 1 nM, respectively, by analyzing the anisotropy change and demonstrate its competition with cyclosporin A. Binding data obtained by fluorescence polarization were corroborated by an enzymatic activity assay. The described tracer allows for a robust assay in a high-throughput format to support the development of novel Cyp40 ligands.

Synthetic dimeric A?(28-40) mimics the complex epitope of human anti-A? autoantibodies against toxic A? oligomers.

Project description:Covalently linked carboxyl-terminal segments of the ?-amyloid peptide (A?) were tested for their qualification as minimal conformational epitopes of the naturally occurring human autoantibodies against ?-amyloid (nAbs-A?). nAbs-A? specifically recognize the toxic oligomers of A? and not the monomeric or the fibrillar forms of A?. The synthetic dimers of A?(28-40) described herein mimic the toxic A? oligomers but are not kinetic intermediates with uncertain compositions. CD spectra identified a surprisingly rich conformational behavior of selected miniamyloids. We observed a highly cooperative conformational transition of ?-sheet to ?-helix upon the addition of the helix enforcing co-solvent hexafluoroisopropanol. The CD curves of dimer 9 resembled, in a completely reversible manner, the CD spectra measured during the irreversible fibrillation of the parent A?(1-40). Synthetic peptide epitopes with high affinities for nAbs-A? are needed to identify the physiological roles of nAbs-A? and are promising epitopes for vaccination experiments.

Structural basis of interaction between dimeric cyclophilin 1 and Myb1 transcription factor in Trichomonas vaginalis.

Project description:Cyclophilin 1 (TvCyP1), a cyclophilin type peptidyl-prolyl isomerase present in the human parasite Trichomonas vaginalis, interacts with Myb1 and assists in its nuclear translocation. Myb1 regulates the expression of ap65-1 gene that encodes for a disease causing cytoadherence enzyme. Here, we determined the crystal structures of TvCyP1 and its complex with the minimum TvCyP1-binding sequence of Myb1 (Myb1104-111), where TvCyP1 formed a homodimer, unlike other single domain cyclophilins. In the complex structure, one Myb1104-111 peptide was bound to each TvCyP1 protomer, with G106-P107 and Y105 fitting well into the active site and auxiliary S2 pocket, respectively. NMR data further showed that TvCyP1 can catalyze the cis/trans isomerization of P107 in Myb1104-111. Interestingly, in the well-folded Myb1 protein (Myb135-141), the minimum binding sequence adopted a different conformation from that of unstructured Myb1104-111 peptide, that could make P107 binding to the active site of TvCyP1 difficult. However, NMR studies showed that similar to Myb1104-111 peptide, Myb135-141 also interacted with the active site of TvCyP1 and the dynamics of the Myb135-141 residues near P107 was reduced upon interaction. Together, the structure of TvCyP1 and detailed structural insights on TvCyP1-Myb1 interaction provided here could pave the way for newer drugs to treat drug-resistant strains.
