The heat shock protein hsp70/hsc70 is a required component of a five-protein (hsp90, hsp70, Hop, hsp40, and p23) minimal chaperone system reconstituted from reticulocyte lysate that forms glucocorticoid receptor (GR).hsp90 heterocomplexes. BAG-1 is a cofactor that binds to the ATPase domain of hsp70/hsc70 and that modulates its chaperone activity. Inasmuch as BAG-1 has been found in association with several members of the steroid receptor family, we have examined the effect of BAG-1 on GR folding and GR.hsp90 heterocomplex assembly. BAG-1 was present in reticulocyte lysate at a BAG-1:hsp70/hsc70 molar ratio of approximately 0.03, and its elimination by immunoadsorption did not affect GR folding and GR. hsp90 heterocomplex assembly. At low BAG-1:hsp70/hsc70 ratios, BAG-1 promoted the release of Hop from the hsp90-based chaperone system without inhibiting GR.hsp90 heterocomplex assembly. However, at molar ratios approaching stoichiometry with hsp70, BAG-1 produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of GR folding to the steroid-binding form with corresponding inhibition of GR.hsp90 heterocomplex assembly by the minimal five-protein chaperone system. Also, there was decreased steroid-binding activity in cells that were transiently or stably transfected with BAG-1. These observations suggest that, at physiological concentrations, BAG-1 modulates assembly by promoting Hop release from the assembly complex; but, at concentrations closer to those in transfected cells and some transformed cell lines, hsp70 is continuously bound by BAG-1, and heterocomplex assembly is blocked.

The two transmembrane domains of CD39 ecto-apyrase regulate the formation of fully active homotetramers. We show that mutations in apyrase conserved region 1 (ACR1) have two dramatically different sets of effects determined by whether they occur in intact tetramers or in disrupted tetramers or monomers. In intact tetramers, substitution of H59 in the rat brain CD39 ACR1 with G or S abolishes more than 90% of the ATPase activity but less than 50% of the ADPase activity, converting the enzyme into an ADPase with relative ADP:ATP hydrolysis rates of 6:1 or 8:1, respectively. In contrast, the same substitutions in tetramers lacking either transmembrane domain, in monomers lacking both transmembrane domains, or in detergent-solubilized full-length monomers have no effect on ATPase activity and increase ADPase activity approximately 2-fold, resulting in equal ATPase and ADPase activities. N61R substitution has a much smaller effect on the ADPase:ATPase ratio in both cases. While the data for truncated and monomeric constructs are consistent with the proposed role of ACR1 as the beta-phosphate binding domain by analogy with the actin/hsp70/hexokinase superfamily, the finding that H59 substitutions in full-length CD39 primarily diminish the ATP hydrolysis rate suggests that ACR1 may play a different role in intact tetramers. We propose that CD39 uses different ATPase and ADPase mechanisms in different quaternary structure contexts, and that H59 in ACR1 plays a central role specifically in ATP hydrolysis in intact tetramers.

ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complexes are conserved among all eukaryotes and function by altering nucleosome structure to allow cellular regulatory factors access to the DNA. Mammalian SWI-SNF complexes contain either of two highly conserved ATPase subunits: BRG1 or BRM. To identify cellular genes that require mammalian SWI-SNF complexes for the activation of gene expression, we have generated cell lines that inducibly express mutant forms of the BRG1 or BRM ATPases that are unable to bind and hydrolyze ATP. The mutant subunits physically associate with at least two endogenous members of mammalian SWI-SNF complexes, suggesting that nonfunctional, dominant negative complexes may be formed. We determined that expression of the mutant BRG1 or BRM proteins impaired the ability of cells to activate the endogenous stress response gene hsp70 in response to arsenite, a metabolic inhibitor, or cadmium, a heavy metal. Activation of hsp70 by heat stress, however, was unaffected. Activation of the heme oxygenase 1 promoter by arsenite or cadmium and activation of the cadmium-inducible metallothionein promoter also were unaffected by the expression of mutant SWI-SNF components. Analysis of a subset of constitutively expressed genes revealed no or minimal effects on transcript levels. We propose that the requirement for mammalian SWI-SNF complexes in gene activation events will be specific to individual genes and signaling pathways.

The nature of kinesin interactions with membrane-bound organelles and mechanisms for regulation of kinesin-based motility have both been surprisingly difficult to define. Most kinesin is recovered in supernatants with standard protocols for purification of motor proteins, but kinesin recovered on membrane-bound organelles is tightly bound. Partitioning of kinesin between vesicle and cytosolic fractions is highly sensitive to buffer composition. Addition of either N-ethylmaleimide or EDTA to homogenization buffers significantly increased the fraction of kinesin bound to organelles. Given that an antibody against kinesin light chain tandem repeats also releases kinesin from vesicles, these observations indicated that specific cytoplasmic factors may regulate kinesin release from membranes. Kinesin light tandem repeats contain DnaJ-like motifs, so the effects of hsp70 chaperones were evaluated. Hsc70 released kinesin from vesicles in an MgATP-dependent and N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive manner. Recombinant kinesin light chains inhibited kinesin release by hsc70 and stimulated the hsc70 ATPase. Hsc70 actions may provide a mechanism to regulate kinesin function by releasing kinesin from cargo in specific subcellular domains, thereby effecting delivery of axonally transported materials.

The present study has been undertaken in order to provide information on the molecular structure of the cysts of Besnoitia besnoiti. To that end, immunohistochemical techniques have been used to investigate the expression of several enzymes and proteins implicated in the cellular membrane permeability of bradyzoites. Paraffin and frozen sections, which were obtained from subcutaneous tissue samples taken from naturally infected cattle (coming from northeast Spain), were treated with a panel of antibodies. These were specific for Na(+), K(+)-ATPase, alkaline phosphatase, calmodulin, S100 protein, heat shock proteins, hsp60, and hsp70. Positive-cysts for the said antibodies were found in 23.3% of the cows studied. Bradyzoites showed a positive immunoreaction in every positive cyst with respect to all these antibodies. In addition to the low percentage of positive animals, it is worth noting that positive and unstained cysts were observed in the same tissue section. These results suggest that bradyzoites may pass through both active and dormant metabolic phases.

Cellular stress can trigger a process of self-destruction known as apoptosis. Cells can also respond to stress by adaptive changes that increase their ability to tolerate normally lethal conditions. Expression of the major heat-inducible protein hsp70 protects cells from heat-induced apoptosis. hsp70 has been reported to act in some situations upstream or downstream of caspase activation, and its protective effects have been said to be either dependent on or independent of its ability to inhibit JNK activation. Purified hsp70 has been shown to block procaspase processing in vitro but is unable to inhibit the activity of active caspase 3. Since some aspects of hsp70 function can occur in the absence of its chaperone activity, we examined whether hsp70 lacking its ATPase domain or the C-terminal EEVD sequence that is essential for peptide binding was required for the prevention of apoptosis. We generated stable cell lines with tetracycline-regulated expression of hsp70, hsc70, and chaperone-defective hsp70 mutants lacking the ATPase domain or the C-terminal EEVD sequence or containing AAAA in place of EEVD. Overexpression of hsp70 or hsc70 protected cells from heat shock-induced cell death by preventing the processing of procaspases 9 and 3. This required the chaperone function of hsp70 since hsp70 mutant proteins did not prevent procaspase processing or provide protection from apoptosis. JNK activation was inhibited by both hsp70 and hsc70 and by each of the hsp70 domain mutant proteins. The chaperoning activity of hsp70 is therefore not required for inhibition of JNK activation, and JNK inhibition was not sufficient for the prevention of apoptosis. Release of cytochrome c from mitochondria was inhibited in cells expressing full-length hsp70 but not in cells expressing the protein with ATPase deleted. Together with the recently identified ability of hsp70 to inhibit cytochrome c-mediated procaspase 9 processing in vitro, these data demonstrate that hsp70 can affect the apoptotic pathway at the levels of both cytochrome c release and initiator caspase activation and that the chaperone function of hsp70 is required for these effects.

The translocation of proteins across the yeast ER membrane requires ATP hydrolysis and the action of DnaK (hsp70) and DnaJ homologues. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the cytosolic hsp70s that promote post-translational translocation are the products of the Ssa gene family. Ssa1p maintains secretory precursors in a translocation-competent state and interacts with Ydj1p, a DnaJ homologue. Although it has been proposed that Ydj1p stimulates the ATPase activity of Ssa1p to release preproteins and engineer translocation, support for this model is incomplete. To this end, mutations in the ATP-binding pocket of SSA1 were constructed and examined both in vivo and in vitro. Expression of the mutant Ssa1p's slows wild-type cell growth, is insufficient to support life in the absence of functional Ssa1p, and results in a dominant effect on post-translational translocation. The ATPase activity of the purified mutant proteins was not enhanced by Ydj1p and the mutant proteins could not bind an unfolded polypeptide substrate. Our data suggest that a productive interaction between Ssa1p and Ydj1p is required to promote protein translocation.

The region(s) of hsp70 critical for sulfogalactolipid (SGL) recognition has been defined through deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis. Truncated polymerase chain reaction products of hsp70 generated N-terminal fragments of 43, 35, 29, and 22 kDa. The C terminus substrate-binding domain (28 kDa) was also expressed. The N-terminal ATPase domain (rP43) shared the binding specificity of hsp70, because only sulfogalactosyl ceramide and sulfogalactosyl glycerolipid were recognized by both TLC overlay and RELISA. The C-terminal domain showed no binding. SGL binding of rP29 and rP22 was severely reduced. The loss of SGL binding for rP35 by RELISA but not TLC overlay was considered as a function of receptor presentation. The truncation of rP43 to rP35 demonstrates that residues 318-387 (the base of the ATP binding cleft) are critical for high affinity SGL binding. Mutagenesis showed that Arg(342) and Phe(198) are crucial for this process. SGL binding, mediated by these conserved residues within the ATPase domain of hsp70, implies that this binding specificity is evolutionarily conserved.

IscU, a NifU-like Fe/S-escort protein, binds to and stimulates the ATPase activity of Hsc66, a hsp70-type molecular chaperone. We present evidence that stimulation arises from interactions of IscU with the substrate-binding site of Hsc66. IscU inhibited the ability of Hsc66 to suppress the aggregation of the denatured model substrate proteins rhodanese and citrate synthase, and calorimetric and surface plasmon resonance measurements showed that ATP destabilizes Hsc66.IscU complexes in a manner expected for hsp70-substrate complexes. Studies on the interaction of IscU with Hsc66 truncation mutants further showed that IscU does not bind the isolated ATPase domain of Hsc66 but does bind and stimulate a mutant containing the ATPase domain and substrate binding beta-sandwich subdomain. These results support a role for IscU as a substrate for Hsc66 and suggest a specialized function for Hsc66 in the assembly, stabilization, or transfer of Fe/S clusters formed on IscU.

Hsc20 is a 20 kDa J-protein that regulates the ATPase activity and peptide-binding specificity of Hsc66, an hsp70-class molecular chaperone. We report herein the crystal structure of Hsc20 from Escherichia coli determined to a resolution of 1.8 A using a combination of single isomorphous replacement (SIR) and multi-wavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD). The overall structure of Hsc20 consists of two distinct domains, an N-terminal J-domain containing residues 1-75 connected by a short loop to a C-terminal domain containing residues 84-171. The structure of the J-domain, involved in interactions with Hsc66, resembles the alpha-topology of J-domain fragments of Escherichia coli DnaJ and human Hdj1 previously determined by solution NMR methods. The C-terminal domain, implicated in binding and targeting proteins to Hsc66, consists of a three-helix bundle in which two helices comprise an anti-parallel coiled-coil. The two domains make contact through an extensive hydrophobic interface ( approximately 650 A(2)) suggesting that their relative orientations are fixed. Thus, Hsc20, in addition to its role in the regulation of the ATPase activity of Hsc66, may also function as a rigid scaffold to facilitate positioning of the protein substrates targeted to Hsc66.
