Isolation and functional analysis of chicken 90-kDa heat shock protein gene promoter.

ABSTRACT: We report the nucleotide sequence of a 2652 bp derived from a chicken 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp 90) genomic clone. This fragment contains 890 bp of the 5' flanking region and 1762 bp of structural gene sequence encoding the first 85 amino acids of the protein. The start site of transcription was determined by primer extension and RNase mapping. Two introns have been identified. The first intron presents two features in common with the unique intron of the hsp 83 of drosophila: its location just before the ATG initiation codon and its length of approximately 1.3 Kb. The 5' flanking region contains a TATAA element, a CCAAT box and several putative cis-regulatory elements that might account for the basal level of expression and developmental regulation of the gene. Functional analyses show that hsp 90 gene expression is constitutive and heat inducible and that a full heat shock response requires the cooperativity of two distinct blocks of overlapping heat shock response elements.

Project description:Two isoforms of the 90-kDa heat shock protein, HSP90alpha and HSP90beta, are present in the cytosol of mammalian cells. Analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under nondenaturing conditions (native PAGE) revealed that HSP90alpha predominantly exists as a homodimer and that HSP90beta is present mainly as a monomer [Minami, Kawasaki, Miyata, Suzuki and Yahara (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 10099-10103]. However, only the dimeric form has been observed under other analytical conditions such as gradient centrifugation. In this study, therefore, we investigated native forms of HSP90 by use of immunochemical techniques with isoform-specific monoclonal antibodies recently developed in our laboratory. Glycerol gradient centrifugation at the physiological salt concentration as well as native PAGE analysis of rat liver cytosol revealed oligomeric forms of HSP90alpha sedimenting at 8-10S as predominant ones. On the other hand, the glycerol gradient centrifugation revealed multiple forms of HSP90beta oligomers sedimenting at 6-12S. All of the HSP90beta oligomers, however, migrated at 100-kDa monomer and 190-kDa dimer positions on native PAGE. A novel two-dimensional double native PAGE revealed that the entity was converted from the HSP90beta dimer to monomers during the electrophoresis. The same PAGE further revealed that the HSP90alpha oligomer also dissociated into dimers during the electrophoresis. Full-length form of bacterially-expressed human HSP90alpha migrated as dimers, but a considerable amount did not penetrate into the gel under native PAGE conditions, indicating the existence of oligomeric forms. Electrophoretic studies of deletion mutants of HSP90 demonstrated that the C-terminal 200 amino acids were capable of forming oligomers. Taken together, we conclude that both of the HSP90 isoforms predominantly exist as oligomeric forms in the cytosol even under unstressed conditions but that they artificially dissociate into smaller forms when subjected to native PAGE.
