Using an FK506 affinity column to identify mammalian immunosuppressant-binding proteins, we identified an immunophilin with an apparent M(r) approximately 55,000, which we have named FKBP52. We used chemically determined peptide sequence and a computerized algorithm to search GenPept, the translated GenBank data base, and identified two cDNAs likely to encode the murine FKBP52 homolog. We amplified a murine cDNA fragment, used it to select a human FKBP52 (hFKBP52) cDNA clone, and then used the clone to deduce the hFKBP52 sequence (calculated M(r) 51,810) and to express hFKBP52 in Escherichia coli. Recombinant hFKBP52 has peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity that is inhibited by FK506 and rapamycin and an FKBP12-like consensus sequence that probably defines the immunosuppressant-binding site. FKBP52 is apparently common to several vertebrate species and associates with the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp90) in untransformed mammalian steroid receptor complexes. The putative immunosuppressant-binding site is probably distinct from the hsp90-binding site, and we predict that FKBP52 has different structural domains to accommodate these functions. hFKBP52 contains 12 protein kinase phosphorylation-site motifs and a potential calmodulin-binding site, implying that posttranslational phosphorylation could generate multiple isoforms of the protein and that calmodulin and intracellular Ca2+ levels could affect FKBP52 function. FKBP52 transcripts are present in a variety of human tissues and could vary in abundance and/or stability.

Interleukin 1 and tumor necrosis factor activate serine/threonine kinase activity in cells within minutes of receptor interaction. Kinases increasing phosphorylation of the small heat shock protein (HSP 27) and epidermal growth factor receptor have been identified and shown to be activated independent of protein kinase A or C. Such kinases are also implicated in activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B. The cytokines have novel signal transduction pathways that could offer potential therapeutic targets.

MAP kinase-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAP kinase-2) phosphorylates the serine residues in murine heat shock protein 25 (hsp25) and human heat shock protein 27 (hsp27) which are phosphorylated in vivo in response to growth factors and heat shock, namely Ser15 and Ser86 (hsp25) and Ser15, Ser78 and Ser82 (hsp27). Ser86 of hsp25 and the equivalent residue in hsp27 (Ser82) are phosphorylated preferentially in vitro. The small heat shock protein is present in rabbit skeletal muscle and hsp25 kinase activity in skeletal muscle extracts co-purifies with MAPKAP kinase-2 activity throughout the purification of the latter enzyme. These results suggest that MAPKAP kinase-2 is the enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation of these small heat shock proteins in mammalian cells.

Inhibition of protein synthesis in rabbit reticulocyte lysates occurs in response to a variety of conditions including heme deficiency, addition of oxidants, and heat stress. The inhibition of translation is due to the activation of a heme-regulated protein kinase (HRI) which specifically phosphorylates the alpha-subunit of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF-2. In this report, immunoadsorption with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and Western blot analysis were used to investigate the interaction of HRI, the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp 90), hsp 70, and the EC1 antigen in rabbit reticulocyte lysates under protein synthesizing conditions. The data indicate that hsp 90, hsp 70, and the EC1 antigen interact with HRI in rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The EC1 antigen is a protein that has been demonstrated to be associated with several steroid hormone receptor-hsp 90 complexes and reacts with the KN 382/EC1 mAb (EC1). The association of HRI with hsp 90 and the EC1 antigen in the reticulocyte lysate was found to be dependent on the presence of hemin at a concentration of 5 microM or higher; little HRI was coadsorbed by the 8D3 anti-hsp 90 mAb or the EC1 mAb in the absence of hemin. Hsp 70 remains associated with HRI in the absence of hemin, suggesting that hsp 90 and 70 may bind to HRI at different sites. The immunological properties of the hsp 70 associated with HRI indicate that it may be the constitutively express heat shock cognate protein (hsc 73). The results suggest that the association of HRI with hsp 90 and the EC1 antigen may be in a dynamic equilibrium, in which complex formation is either facilitated or stabilized by the presence of hemin, and supports the notion that these proteins in conjunction with hsp 70 may play a role in regulating HRI activity or activation in situ.

We found that a preparation of the 90-kDa heat shock protein, HSP90, purified to apparent homogeneity, contains a serine/threonine kinase which phosphorylates HSP90. The protein kinase was identified as casein kinase II (CKII) according to its properties. The protein kinase was separable from HSP90 by adsorption to heparin-Sepharose or phosphocellulose. CKII was coimmunoprecipitated with HSP90 by anti-HSP90 antibodies from cell extracts. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation analysis revealed that an addition of anti-HSP90 antibodies to cell extracts induces a shift of the sedimentation peak of CKII toward the bottom of a centrifuge tube. These results suggest that CKII is associated with HSP90 in cell lysates at low salt conditions. Furthermore, the CKII.HSP90 complex was reconstituted from purified HSP90-free CKII and CKII-free HSP90. In a buffer at low ionic strength, CKII forms large aggregates, but HSP90 dissociates the aggregates. Finally, we found that HSP90 activates CKII; an addition of HSP90 to CKII dramatically increased phosphorylation of exogenous substrates as well as the CKII beta subunit. Taken altogether, these observations suggest that CKII is structurally and functionally active when it forms a complex with HSP90.

The theme of this study is an evaluation of the involvement of cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in the regulation of the human heat shock protein (hsp) 70 gene promoter. Expression of a highly specific protein inhibitor of PKA (pRSVPKI) inhibited the basal as well as heat- and cadmium-induced expression of the cotransfected pHBCAT, a human hsp 70 promoter-driven reporter gene; this inhibition was dependent on the amount of pRSVPKI used. The effect of an expression vector of the RI regulatory subunit of PKA, pMTREV, was similar to that of pRSVPKI; pMTREV inhibited both the basal as well as the heat-induced expression of pHBCAT. The specificity of effects of these expression vectors was demonstrated by the lack of effect of a mutant PKI gene and by the unaffected expression of a reference gene (pRSV beta gal) under these conditions. Analysis of the effects of dibutyryl cAMP (1 mM), forskolin (10 microM), and 8-Br-cAMP (1 mM) on the transient expression of pHBCAT showed that these cAMP-elevating agents stimulated the hsp 70 promoter activity, whereas cAMP (1 mM) was without effect. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene constructs with truncated or mutated hsp 70 promoter were used to define the cis-acting DNA element(s) that confer this cAMP stimulation; the heat induced (42 degrees C) expression was used as a control. Mutation of the adenovirus transcription factor element (pLSN-40/-26) greatly reduced the basal level of expression; forskolin had little or no effect on this adenovirus transcription factor-minus promoter, although the promoter activity was very heat inducible. The absence of a functional heat shock consensus element (HSE) in the construct pLSPNWT rendered the promoter heat insensitive; this construct was forskolin responsive although the magnitude of this stimulation was reduced when compared with that of a control construct with HSE. These results were corroborated by studies using consensus sequence of ATF (ATFE) and HSE as competitors to titrate our cellular factors that may interact with these elements. We showed that cotransfection with ATFE and HSE depressed the basal (37 degrees C) expression of pHBCAT by 25 and 60%, respectively. The heat-induced expression of pHBCAT was not significantly affected by the cotransfection of ATFE and was reduced by 60% when HSE was cotransfected. ATFE and HSE reduced the forskolin-induced pHBCAT expression by 70 and 40%, respectively. The implications of these findings as they relate to the action of cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase in the control of heat shock gene expression are discussed.

The intracellular concentration of the 27-kDa mammalian heat shock protein, HSP27, increases several-fold after heat and other metabolic stresses and is closely associated with the acquisition of thermotolerance. Posttranslational modifications may also affect the function of HSP27. Heat shock of HeLa cell cultures, or treatment with arsenite, phorbol ester, or tumor necrosis factor, caused a rapid phosphorylation of preexisting HSP27 and the appearance of three phosphorylated isoforms, HSP27 B, C, and D. Digestion with trypsin and fractionation of the peptides by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography revealed three 32P-labeled phosphopeptides. Microsequence analysis identified peak I as Ala76-Leu77-Ser78-Arg79 and peak II as Gln80-Leu81-Ser82-Ser83-Gly84-Val85- Ser86-Glu87-Ile88-Arg89; peak III contained the undigested peptide pair Ala76-Arg89. Ser82 was the major site and Ser78 the minor site of phosphorylation. Mutant proteins with Ser78 or Ser82 altered to glycine or Ser78-Ser82 double mutants were phosphorylated to reduced extents in vivo after heat or arsenite treatment. Ser78 and Ser82 (and Ser15) occur in the sequence motif RXXS, which is recognized by ribosomal protein S6 kinase II. Mitogenic stimulation of serum-deprived, Go-arrested Chinese hamster cells with serum, thrombin, or fibroblast growth factor also stimulated phosphorylation of HSP27 Ser78 and Ser82, and mitogenic stimulation and heat shock activated protein kinase activities that phosphorylated HSP27 and protein S6 in vitro. These results suggest that HSP27 may exert phosphorylation-activated functions linked with growth signaling pathways in unstressed cells. A homeostatic function at this level could protect cells from adverse effects of signal transduction systems which may be activated inappropriately during stress.

Interleukin 1 signals through an 80kDa receptor to change protein kinase activity in fibroblasts. Two increases in protein phosphorylation have been identified: the EGF receptor and the small heat shock protein (hsp 27). Both involve serine and are similarly transient (maximal 5-15 minutes). The kinase activity differs from PKA or C. Hsp 27 can be used for its assay in extracts of stimulated cells.

Native phosphorylated mouse small heat shock protein hsp25 from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was isolated and the in vivo phosphorylation sites of the protein were determined. Furthermore, native hsp25 was phosphorylated by the endogenous kinase(s) in a cell-free system as well as recombinant hsp25 was phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase C and catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase. The two major phosphorylation sites of native and recombinant hsp25 were determined as Ser-15 and Ser-86. There are no differences in the hsp25 phosphorylation sites phosphorylated by the protein kinase C, the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the unknown intracellular kinase(s). The serine residues identified exist in all known small mammalian stress proteins and are located in the conserved kinase recognition sequence Arg-X-X-Ser.

The 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp-90) is an abundant cytosolic protein believed to play a role in maintenance of protein trafficking and closely associated with several steroid hormone receptors. Incubation of highly purified hsp-90 with [gamma-32P]ATP results in its autophosphorylation on serine residues. There are several lines of evidence which suggest that this activity is due to a kinase intrinsic to hsp-90 rather than some closely associated protein kinases: 1) the phosphorylation persists after the removal of casein kinase II by heparin chromatography and after immunoprecipitation of hsp-90 with anti-hsp-90 antibodies. 2) The approximate kM for ATP of the reaction is 0.16 mM, higher than that of many other protein kinases. 3) Phosphorylation is not affected by a number of activators and inhibitors of other known kinases which might associate with hsp-90. 4) The phosphorylation displays a unique cation dependence being most active in the presence of Ca2+ and practically inactive with Mg2+, although the autophosphorylation in the presence of Mg2+ is activated by histones and polyamines. 5) The activity is remarkably heat-stable; incubation of hsp-90 for 20 min at 95 degrees C results in only a 60% decrease in autophosphorylation. 6) Finally, and most importantly, purified hsp-90 can be labeled with azido-ATP and it is able to bind to ATP-agarose. The binding shows similar cation dependence to the autophosphorylation. These data are in agreement with the presence of a consensus sequence for ATP binding sites in the primary structure of the protein similar to that observed in the 70-kDa heat-shock proteins. Our data suggest the 90-kDa heat shock protein possesses an enzymatic activity analogous in many respects to the similar activity of the 70-kDa heat shock proteins. This may represent an important, previously unrecognized function of hsp-90.
