Since both the spectrum and characteristics of in vivo substrates with affinity for Hsp70 members are largely unknown, we have investigated the range and type of mammalian organellar proteins which selectively interact with immobilised Escherichia coli Hsp70 (DnaK). Amongst a subset of organellar proteins selectively retained on DnaK, the major constituents represent unstable proteins and subunits of oligomeric proteins. The interactions with DnaK were diminished in the presence of mt-Hsp70 and BiP, while the complexes formed with DnaK were dissociated in the presence of K+ and GrpE-like co-chaperones, suggesting that these organellar proteins constitute general Hsp70 substrates. Protein sequence analysis identified the major DnaK interacting constituents as the mitochondrial transcription factor A, the alpha- (but not the beta-) subunit of succinyl CoA synthetase, mitochondrial 2,4-dienoyl CoA reductase, endoplasmic reticulum cyclophilin-B, peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme and a previously undescribed peroxisomal protein suspected to represent an isoform of 2,4-dienoyl CoA reductase. The selective retention of these fully synthesised proteins on Hsp70 most likely reflects the function of this molecular chaperone in protein biogenesis, but additionally, could extend the known functions of Hsp70 to include modulating the activities of certain proteins or enzymes which are important in cellular homeostasis.

Alternative splicing (AS) is an important molecular mechanism by which single genes can generate multiple mRNA isoforms. We reported previously that, in Oryza sativa, the cyclophilin 19-4 (OsCYP19-4.1) transcript was significantly upregulated in response to cold stress, and that transgenic plants were cold tolerant. Here we show that, under cold stress, OsCYP19-4 produces eight transcript variants by intron retention and exon skipping, resulting in production of four distinct protein isoforms. The OsCYP19-4 AS isoforms exhibited different cellular localizations in the epidermal cells: in contrast to OsCYP19-4.1, the OsCYP19-4.2 and OsCYP19-4.3 proteins were primarily targeted to guard and subsidiary cells, whereas OsCYP19-4.5, which consists largely of an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) targeting signal, was co-localized with the RFP-BiP marker in the ER. In OsCYP19-4.2, the key residues of the PPIase domain are altered; consistent with this, recombinant OsCYP19-4.2 had significantly lower PPIase activity than OsCYP19-4.1 in vitro. Specific protein-protein interactions between OsCYP19-4.2/3 and AtRCN1 were verified in yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and bimolecular fluoresence complementation (BiFC assays), although the OsCYP19-4 isoforms could not bind each other. Based on these results, we propose that two OsCYP19-4 AS isoforms, OsCYP19-4.2 and OsCYP19-4.3, play roles linking auxin transport and cold stress via interactions with RCN1.
