Different combinations of the heat-shock cognate protein 70 (hsc70) C-terminal functional groups are utilized to interact with distinct tetratricopeptide repeat-containing proteins.

ABSTRACT: A group of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing proteins has been shown to interact with the C-terminal domain of the 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (hsc70). In the present study, the effect of the TPR-containing proteins, including the C-terminus of hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP), TPR1 and human glutamine-rich TPR-containing protein (hSGT), on refolding of luciferase by DnaJ and hsc70 was investigated. These proteins inhibited the restoration of luciferase activity by the chaperones. The inhibitory effect exerted by TPR1 and hSGT depended upon their binding to hsc70. However, the interaction with hsc70 did not appear to be required for the inhibition of luciferase refolding by CHIP. We also demonstrate that the peptide, GPTIEEVD, corresponding to the C-terminal end of hsc70, abolished the association of [(3)H]hsc70 with CHIP, TPR1 and hSGT. This implied that the GPTIEEVD motif of hsc70 was responsible for interacting with these TPR-containing proteins. However, the GGXP-repeats (where X is any aliphatic residue), another C-terminal conserved motif of vertebrate hsc70s, were not essential for interacting with the TPR-containing proteins. On the basis of mutagenesis studies, it was clear that a unique combination of the functional groups in the GPTIEEVD motif were utilized to interact with each TPR-containing protein, suggesting that inhibitors can be designed and used to elucidate the functional role of these interactions.

Molecular identification and expression of heat shock cognate 70 (hsc70) and heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) genes in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Project description:The 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp) family is composed of both environmentally inducible (Hsp) and constitutively expressed (Hsc) family members. We sequenced 2 genes encoding an Hsp70 and an Hsc70 in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. The Cghsc70 gene contained introns, whereas the Cghsp70 gene did not. Moreover, the corresponding amino acid sequences of the 2 genes presented all the characteristic motifs of the Hsp70 family. We also investigated the expression of Hsp70 in tissues of oysters experimentally exposed to metal. A recombinant Hsc72 was used as an antigen to produce a polyclonal antibody to quantify soluble Hsp70 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in protein samples extracted from oysters. Our results showed that metals (copper and cadmium) induced a decrease in cytosolic Hsp70 level in gills and digestive gland of oysters experimentally exposed to metal. These data suggest that metals may inhibit stress protein synthesis.

Diosgenin restores A?-induced axonal degeneration by reducing the expression of heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70).

Project description:We previously found diosgenin, an herbal drug-derived steroid sapogenin, to be remarkably effective at restoring A?-induced axonal degeneration and improving memory function in model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), 5XFAD mouse. In this study, we investigated the downstream signaling of diosgenin and explored new therapeutic targets in AD. We showed that the expression of heat shock cognate (HSC) 70 was increased in A?-treated neurons and in 5XFAD mice but was decreased by diosgenin treatment. In addition, knockdown of HSC70 significantly promoted axonal growth in neurons. As an association molecule of HSC70 in neurons, ?-tubulin was detected by immunoprecipitation. After A? treatment, ?-tubulin expression was greatly reduced in the degenerated axons, suggesting that a decline in ?-tubulin may be one of the factors which correlates with axonal disruption in AD pathology. We hypothesized that the degradation of ?-tubulin is triggered by the chaperone activity of HSC70. However, diosgenin significantly normalized the ?-tubulin level, a potentially critical process for axonal formation. Our study indicated that reducing the HSC70 level is a new possible therapeutic target of axonal regeneration in AD.

A sequential mechanism for clathrin cage disassembly by 70-kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70) and auxilin.

Project description:An essential stage in endocytic coated vesicle recycling is the dissociation of clathrin from the vesicle coat by the molecular chaperone, 70-kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70), and the J-domain-containing protein, auxilin, in an ATP-dependent process. We present a detailed mechanistic analysis of clathrin disassembly catalyzed by Hsc70 and auxilin, using loss of perpendicular light scattering to monitor the process. We report that a single auxilin per clathrin triskelion is required for maximal rate of disassembly, that ATP is hydrolyzed at the same rate that disassembly occurs, and that three ATP molecules are hydrolyzed per clathrin triskelion released. Stopped-flow measurements revealed a lag phase in which the scattering intensity increased owing to association of Hsc70 with clathrin cages followed by serial rounds of ATP hydrolysis prior to triskelion removal. Global fit of stopped-flow data to several physically plausible mechanisms showed the best fit to a model in which sequential hydrolysis of three separate ATP molecules is required for the eventual release of a triskelion from the clathrin-auxilin cage.

70-kDa heat shock cognate protein hsc70 mediates calmodulin-dependent nuclear import of the sex-determining factor SRY.

Project description:We recently showed that the developmentally important family of SOX (SRY (sex determining region on the Y chromosome)-related high mobility group (HMG) box) proteins require the calcium-binding protein calmodulin (CaM) for optimal nuclear accumulation, with clinical mutations in SRY that specifically impair nuclear accumulation via this pathway resulting in XY sex reversal. However, the mechanism by which CaM facilitates nuclear accumulation is unknown. Here, we show, for the first time, that the 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein hsc70 plays a key role in CaM-dependent nuclear import of SRY. Using a reconstituted nuclear import assay, we show that antibodies to hsc70 significantly reduce nuclear accumulation of wild type SRY and mutant derivatives thereof that retain CaM-dependent nuclear import, with an increased rate of nuclear accumulation upon addition of both CaM and hsc70, in contrast to an SRY mutant derivative with impaired CaM binding. siRNA knockdown of hsc70 in intact cells showed similar results, indicating clear dependence upon hsc70 for CaM-dependent nuclear import. Analysis using the technique of fluorescence recovery after photobleaching indicated that hsc70 is required for the maximal rate of SRY nuclear import in living cells but has no impact upon SRY nuclear retention/nuclear dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate direct binding of hsc70 to the SRY·CaM complex, with immunoprecipitation experiments from cell extracts showing association of hsc70 with wild type SRY, but not with a mutant derivative with impaired CaM binding, dependent on Ca(2+). Our novel findings strongly implicate hsc70 in CaM-dependent nuclear import of SRY.

Binding of ATP and ATP analogues to the uncoating ATPase Hsc70 (70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein).

Project description:Nucleotide binding to the 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70) from mung bean seeds and pig brain was investigated, as well as the clathrin uncoating activity of Hsc70 in the presence of these nucleotides. The two enzymes were found to behave identically. ATP bound to two different forms of Hsc70, with dissociation constants of 1.1 +/- 0.1 microM and 1.4 +/- 0.7 mM respectively at 25 degrees C. This corresponds to delta G0' = -34 and -16 kJ/mol respectively. From the temperature-dependence of the dissociation constant of the high-affinity site, delta H0' was calculated to -36 +/- 2 kJ/mol. This gives delta S0' = 6.7 J/mol per K. Adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, ADP, adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imino]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate showed dissociation constants of 2.3, 11, 31 and 284 microM respectively. The order of affinities corresponded to the order of effectiveness in uncoating of pig brain coated vesicles. The implications of these findings for the mechanism of Hsc70 action are discussed.

Heat shock cognate protein 70 chaperone-binding site in the co-chaperone murine stress-inducible protein 1 maps to within three consecutive tetratricopeptide repeat motifs.

Project description:Murine stress-inducible protein 1 (mSTI1) is a co-chaperone homologous with the human heat shock cognate protein 70 (hsc70)/heat shock protein 90 (hsp90)-organizing protein (Hop). The concomitant interaction of mSTI1 with hsp70 and hsp90 at its N- and C-termini respectively is mediated by the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs in these regions. With the use of co-precipitation assays, we show here that the N-terminal TPR domain of mSTI1 without extensive flanking regions is both necessary and sufficient to mediate a specific interaction with hsc70. In contrast, other TPR-containing co-chaperones require TPR flanking regions for target substrate recognition, suggesting different mechanisms of TPR-mediated chaperone-co-chaperone interactions. Furthermore, the interaction between mSTI1 and hsc70 was analysed to ascertain the effect of replacing or deleting conserved amino acid residues and sequences within the three TPR motifs constituting the N-terminal TPR domain of full-length mSTI1. Replacement of a bulky hydrophobic residue in TPR1 disrupted the interaction of mSTI1 with hsc70. A highly conserved sequence in TPR2 was altered by deletion or single amino acid replacement. These derivatives retained a specific interaction with hsc70. These results are consistent with a model in which conserved residues within the N-terminal TPR region of mSTI1 contribute differentially to the interaction with hsc70, and in which TPR1 has a significant role in targeting mSTI1 to hsc70. The contribution of the TPR domain mutations and deletions are discussed with respect to their effect on target substrate interactions.

Non-canonical Interactions between Heat Shock Cognate Protein 70 (Hsc70) and Bcl2-associated Anthanogene (BAG) Co-Chaperones Are Important for Client Release.

Project description:Heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70) regulates protein homeostasis through its reversible interactions with client proteins. Hsc70 has two major domains: a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), that hydrolyzes ATP, and a substrate-binding domain (SBD), where clients are bound. Members of the BAG family of co-chaperones, including Bag1 and Bag3, are known to accelerate release of both ADP and client from Hsc70. The release of nucleotide is known to be mediated by interactions between the conserved BAG domain and the Hsc70 NBD. However, less is known about the regions required for client release, and it is often assumed that this activity also requires the BAG domain. It is important to better understand this step because it determines how long clients remain in the inactive, bound state. Here, we report the surprising observation that truncated versions of either human Bag1 or Bag3, comprised only the BAG domain, promoted rapid release of nucleotide, but not client, in vitro Rather, we found that a non-canonical interaction between Bag1/3 and the Hsc70 SBD is sufficient for accelerating this step. Moreover, client release did not seem to require the BAG domain or Hsc70 NBD. These results suggest that Bag1 and Bag3 control the stability of the Hsc70-client complex using at least two distinct protein-protein contacts, providing a previously under-appreciated layer of molecular regulation in the human Hsc70 system.

Specific Binding of Tetratricopeptide Repeat Proteins to Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) and Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) Is Regulated by Affinity and Phosphorylation.

Project description:Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) require the help of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain-containing cochaperones for many of their functions. Each monomer of Hsp70 or Hsp90 can interact with only a single TPR cochaperone at a time, and each member of the TPR cochaperone family brings distinct functions to the complex. Thus, competition for TPR binding sites on Hsp70 and Hsp90 appears to shape chaperone activity. Recent structural and biophysical efforts have improved our understanding of chaperone-TPR contacts, focusing on the C-terminal EEVD motif that is present in both chaperones. To better understand these important protein-protein interactions on a wider scale, we measured the affinity of five TPR cochaperones, CHIP, Hop, DnaJC7, FKBP51, and FKBP52, for the C-termini of four members of the chaperone family, Hsc70, Hsp72, Hsp90?, and Hsp90?, in vitro. These studies identified some surprising selectivity among the chaperone-TPR pairs, including the selective binding of FKBP51/52 to Hsp90?/?. These results also revealed that other TPR cochaperones are only able to weakly discriminate between the chaperones or between their paralogs. We also explored whether mimicking phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues near the EEVD motif might impact affinity and found that pseudophosphorylation had selective effects on binding to CHIP but not other cochaperones. Together, these findings suggest that both intrinsic affinity and post-translational modifications tune the interactions between the Hsp70 and Hsp90 proteins and the TPR cochaperones.

Endogenous epitope tagging of heat shock protein 70 isoform Hsc70 using CRISPR/Cas9.

Project description:Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is an evolutionarily well-conserved molecular chaperone involved in several cellular processes such as folding of proteins, modulating protein-protein interactions, and transport of proteins across the membrane. Binding partners of Hsp70 (known as "clients") are identified on an individual basis as researchers discover their particular protein of interest binds to Hsp70. A full complement of Hsp70 interactors under multiple stress conditions remains to be determined. A promising approach to characterizing the Hsp70 "interactome" is the use of protein epitope tagging and then affinity purification followed by mass spectrometry (AP-MS/MS). AP-MS analysis is a widely used method to decipher protein-protein interaction networks and identifying protein functions. Conventionally, the proteins are overexpressed ectopically which interferes with protein complex stoichiometry, skewing AP-MS/MS data. In an attempt to solve this issue, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing to integrate a tandem-affinity (TAP) epitope tag into the genomic locus of HSC70. This system offers several benefits over existing expression systems including native expression, no requirement for selection, and homogeneity between cells. This cell line, freely available to chaperone researchers, will aid in small and large-scale protein interaction studies as well as the study of biochemical activities and structure-function relationships of the Hsc70 protein.

The heat shock protein HSP70 and heat shock cognate protein HSC70 contribute to antimony tolerance in the protozoan parasite leishmania.

Project description:Antimony-containing drugs are still the drugs of choice in the treatment of infections caused by the parasite Leishmania. Resistance to antimony is now common in some parts of the world, and several mechanisms of resistance have been described. By transfecting cosmid banks and selecting with potassium antimonyl tartrate (SbIII), we have isolated a cosmid associated with resistance. This cosmid contains 2 copies of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and 1 copy of the heat shock cognate protein 70 (HSC70). Several data linked HSP70 to antimony response and resistance. First, several Leishmania species, both as promastigotes and amastigotes, increased the expression of their HSP70 proteins when grown in the presence of 1 or 2 times the Effect Concentration 50% of SbIII. In several mutants selected for resistance to either SbIII or to the related metal arsenite, the HSP70 proteins were found to be overexpressed. This increase was also observed in revertant cells grown for several passages in the absence of SbIII, suggesting that this increased production of HSP70 is stable. Transfection of HSP70 or HSC70 in Leishmania cells does not confer resistance directly, though these transfectants were better able to tolerate a shock with SbIII. Our results are consistent with HSP70 and HSC70 being a first line of defense against SbIII until more specific and efficient resistance mechanisms take over.
