Applying stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy for measuring conformational changes of the DnaK molecular chaperone (bacterial Hsp70 homologue) and its binding to target peptide, we found that after ATP hydrolysis, DnaK is converted to the DnaK*(ADP) conformation, which possesses limited affinity for peptide substrates and the GrpE cochaperone but efficiently binds the DnaJ chaperone. In the presence of DnaJ (bacterial Hsp40 homologue), the DnaK*(ADP) form is converted back to the DnaK conformation, and the resulting DnaJ-DnaK(ADP) complex binds to peptide substrates more tightly. Formation of the DnaJ(substrate-DnaK(ADP)) complex is a rate-limiting reaction. The presence of GrpE and ATP hydrolysis promotes the fast release of the peptide substrate from the chaperone complex and converts DnaK to the DnaK*(ADP) conformation. We conclude that in the presence of DnaJ and GrpE, the binding-release cycle of DnaK is stoichiometrically coupled to the adenosine triphosphatase activity of DnaK.

The high-affinity ligand-binding form of unactivated steroid receptors exists as a multicomponent complex that includes heat shock protein (Hsp)90; one of the immunophilins cyclophilin 40 (CyP40), FKBP51, or FKBP52; and an additional p23 protein component. Assembly of this heterocomplex is mediated by Hsp70 in association with accessory chaperones Hsp40, Hip, and Hop. A conserved structural element incorporating a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain mediates the interaction of the immunophilins with Hsp90 by accommodating the C-terminal EEVD peptide of the chaperone through a network of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. TPR cochaperones recognize the EEVD structural motif common to both Hsp90 and Hsp70 through a highly conserved clamp domain. In the present study, we investigated in vitro the molecular interactions between CyP40 and FKBP52 and other stress-related components involved in steroid receptor assembly, namely Hsp70 and Hop. Using a binding protein-retention assay with CyP40 fused to glutathione S-transferase immobilized on glutathione-agarose, we have identified the constitutively expressed form of Hsp70, heat shock cognate (Hsc)70, as an additional target for CyP40. Deletion mapping studies showed the binding determinants to be similar to those for CyP40-Hsp90 interaction. Furthermore, a mutational analysis of CyP40 clamp domain residues confirmed the importance of this motif in CyP40-Hsc70 interaction. Additional residues thought to mediate binding specificity through hydrophobic interactions were also important for Hsc70 recognition. CyP40 was shown to have a preference for Hsp90 over Hsc70. Surprisingly, FKBP52 was unable to compete with CyP40 for Hsc70 binding, suggesting that FKBP52 discriminates between the TPR cochaperone-binding sites in Hsp90 and Hsp70. Hop, which contains multiple units of the TPR motif, was shown to be a direct competitor with CyP40 for Hsc70 binding. Similar to Hop, CyP40 was shown not to influence the adenosine triphosphatase activity of Hsc70. Our results suggest that CyP40 may have a modulating role in Hsc70 as well as Hsp90 cellular function.

Heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40) family proteins are known to bind to Hsp70 through their J-domain and regulate the function of Hsp70 by stimulating its adenosine triphosphatase activity. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), there are 5 Hsp40 family proteins known so far, 3 of which were recently identified. In this report, one of the novel Hsp40 cochaperones, ERdj3, was characterized in terms of its subcellular localization, stress response, and stress tolerance of cells. By using ERdj3-specific polyclonal antibody, endogenous ERdj3 protein was shown to reside in the ER as gene transfer-mediated exogenous ERdj3. Analysis of the expression level of endogenous ERdj3 protein revealed its moderate induction in response to various ER stressors, indicating its possible action as a stress protein in the ER. Subsequently, we analyzed whether this molecule was involved in ER stress tolerance of cells, as was the case with the ER-resident Hsp70 family protein BiP. Although overexpression of ERdj3 by gene transfection could not strengthen ER stress tolerance of neuroblastoma cells, reduction of ERdj3 expression by small interfering ribonucleic acid decreased the tolerance of cells, indicating that ERdj3 might have just a marginal role in the ER stress resistance of neuroblastoma cells. In contrast, overexpression of ERdj3 notably suppressed vero toxin-induced cell death. These data suggest that ERdj3 might have diverse roles in the ER, including that of the molecular cochaperone of BiP and an as yet unknown protective action against vero toxin.

Induction of heat shock proteins (Hsps) is under investigation as treatment for neurodegenerative disorders, yet many types of neurons, including motor neurons that degenerate in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have a high threshold for activation of the major transcription factor mediating stress-induced Hsp upregulation, heat shock transcription factor 1 (Hsf1). Hsf1 is tightly regulated by a series of inhibitory checkpoints that include sequestration in multichaperone complexes governed by Hsp90. This study examined the role of multichaperone complexes in governing the heat shock response in motor neurons. Hsp90 inhibitors induced expression of Hsp70 and Hsp40 and transactivation of a human inducible hsp70 promoter-green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter construct in motor neurons of dissociated spinal cord-dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cultures. On the other hand, overexpression of activator of Hsp90 adenosine triphosphatase ([ATPase 1], Aha1), which should mobilize Hsf1 by accelerating turnover of mature, adenosine triphosphate-(ATP) bound Hsp90 complexes, and death domain-associated protein (Daxx), which in cell lines has been shown to promote transcription of heat shock genes by relieving inhibition exerted by interactions between nuclear Hsp90/multichaperone complexes and trimeric Hsf1, failed to induce Hsps in the absence or presence of heat shock. These results indicate that disruption of multichaperone complexes alone is not sufficient to activate the neuronal heat shock response. Furthermore, in motor neurons, induction of Hsp70 by Hsp90-inhibiting drugs was prevented by overexpression of wild-type Hsfl, contrary to what would be expected for a classical Hsf1-mediated pathway. These results point to additional differences in regulation of hsp genes in neuronal and nonneuronal cells.
