The Hsc70-interacting protein Hip, a tetratricopeptide repeat protein, participates in the regulation of the eukaryotic 70 kDa heat shock cognate Hsc70. One Hip oligomer binds the ATPase domains of at least two Hsc70 molecules dependent on activation of the Hsc70 ATPase by Hsp40. While hydrolysis remains the rate-limiting step in the ATPase cycle, Hip stabilizes the ADP state of Hsc70 that has a high affinity for substrate protein. Through its own chaperone activity, Hip may contribute to the interaction of Hsc70 with various target proteins. We propose a mechanism for the regulation of eukaryotic Hsc70 that is distinct from that of bacterial Hsp70. The Hsc70/Hsp40/Hip system is apparently independent of a GrpE-like nucleotide exchange factor.

The hsp70-interacting protein Hip participates in the assembly pathway for progesterone receptor complexes. During assembly, Hip appears at early assembly stages in a transient manner that parallels hsp70 interactions. In this study, a cDNA for human Hip was used to develop various mutant Hip forms in the initial mapping of functions to particular Hip structural elements. Hip regions targeted for deletion and/or truncation included the C-terminal region (which has some limited homology with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sti1 and its vertebrate homolog p60), a glycine-glycine-methionine-proline (GGMP) tandem repeat, and a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR). Binding of Hip to hsp70's ATPase domain was lost with deletions from the TPR and from an adjoining highly charged region; correspondingly, these Hip mutant forms were not recovered in receptor complexes. Truncation of Hip's Sti1-related C terminus resulted in Hip binding to hsp70 in a manner suggestive of a misfolded peptide substrate; this hsp70 binding was localized to the GGMP tandem repeat. Mutants lacking either the C terminus or the GGMP tandem repeat were still recovered in receptor complexes. Truncations from Hip's N terminus resulted in an apparent loss of Hip homo-oligomerization, but these mutants retained association with hsp70 and were recovered in receptor complexes. This mutational analysis indicates that Hip's TPR is required for binding of Hip with hsp70's ATPase domain. In addition, some data suggest that hsp70's peptide-binding domain may alternately or concomitantly bind to Hip's GGMP repeat in a manner regulated by Sti1-related sequences.

The homo-oligomeric Hip protein cooperates with the 70-kDa heat shock cognate Hsc70 in the folding of newly synthesized polypeptide chains and in the conformational regulation of signaling molecules known to interact with Hsc70 and Hsp90. In order to further assess the role of Hip during protein biogenesis, a structure-function analysis of the Hip protein was initiated. By employing the yeast two-hybrid system, the Hsc70-binding site of Hip was mapped to a domain comprising multiple tetratricopeptide repeats and flanking charged alpha-helices. Affinity chromatography confirmed direct interaction of isolated Hip fragments and protein fusions bearing this region with the ATPase domain of Hsc70 in an ATP- and salt-dependent manner. Contact of Hip with the ATPase domain appears to be mediated primarily by the positively charged alpha-helix following the tetratricopeptide repeats. Furthermore, a domain required for homo-oligomerization was identified at the extreme amino terminus of Hip.

The BAG-1 protein appears to inhibit cell death by binding to Bcl-2, the Raf-1 protein kinase, and certain growth factor receptors, but the mechanism of inhibition remains enigmatic. BAG-1 also interacts with several steroid hormone receptors which require the molecular chaperones Hsc70 and Hsp90 for activation. Here we show that BAG-1 is a regulator of the Hsc70 chaperone. BAG-1 binds to the ATPase domain of Hsc70 and, in cooperation with Hsp40, stimulates Hsc70's steady-state ATP hydrolysis activity approximately 40-fold. Similar to the action of the GrpE protein on bacterial Hsp70, BAG-1 accelerates the release of ADP from Hsc70. Thus, BAG-1 regulates the Hsc70 ATPase in a manner contrary to the Hsc70-interacting protein Hip, which stabilizes the ADP-bound state. Intriguingly, BAG-1 and Hip compete in binding to the ATPase domain of Hsc70. Our results reveal an unexpected diversity in the regulation of Hsc70 and raise the possibility that the observed anti-apoptotic function of BAG-1 may be exerted through a modulation of the chaperone activity of Hsc70 on specific protein folding and maturation pathways.

We have identified the rat and Caenorhabditis elegans homologues of a 'core ATPase'-encoding Hsp70-like gene, designated Stch. We observed that the human, rat, and C. elegans Stch genes have conserved a stop codon immediately distal to the sequence encoding the Hsp70 ATPase domain. This results in the functional equivalent of an N-terminal, proteolytically cleaved fragment of Hsc70/BiP. Each homologue contains a hydrophobic signal sequence, demonstrates striking identity within the Hsp70 ATPase domain, and retains a similar C-terminal sequence (STCH specific cluster III) that is unique among Hsp70 proteins and which truncates the peptide binding domain. In addition, we have identified an internal 35-aa region that is homologous to the minimal sequence of the Hip chaperone co-factor that is required for direct binding to the ATPase domain of Hsp70. Adjacent to this region, the rat and human STCH protein sequences diverge within a short internal 'insertion' sequence that interrupts the ATPase subdomain between the phosphate-2 and adenosine ATP-binding sites. We have also demonstrated that both human and rat Stch are constitutively produced and are induced by the calcium ionophore A23187, but not by heat shock. The recognition that the truncated 'core ATPase' structure of the STCH molecule is conserved in human, rat, and C. elegans tissues suggests an important role for this unique member of the membrane-bound Hsp70 family.

The modulation of the chaperone activity of the heat shock cognate Hsc70 protein in mammalian cells involves cooperation with chaperone cofactors, such as Hsp40; BAG-1; the Hsc70-interacting protein, Hip; and the Hsc70-Hsp90-organizing protein, Hop. By employing the yeast two-hybrid system and in vitro interaction assays, we have provided insight into the structural basis that underlies Hsc70's cooperation with different cofactors. The carboxy-terminal domain of Hsc70, previously shown to form a lid over the peptide binding pocket of the chaperone protein, mediates the interaction of Hsc70 with Hsp40 and Hop. Remarkably, the two cofactors bind to the carboxy terminus of Hsc70 in a noncompetitive manner, revealing the existence of distinct binding sites for Hsp40 and Hop within this domain. In contrast, Hip interacts exclusively with the amino-terminal ATPase domain of Hsc70. Hence, Hsc70 possesses separate nonoverlapping binding sites for Hsp40, Hip, and Hop. This appears to enable the chaperone protein to cooperate simultaneously with multiple cofactors. On the other hand, BAG-1 and Hip have recently been shown to compete in binding to the ATPase domain. Our data thus establish the existence of a network of cooperating and competing cofactors regulating the chaperone activity of Hsc70 in the mammalian cell.

The regulation of the chaperone activity of the heat shock cognate Hsc70 protein in the mammalian cell involves a cooperation with chaperone cofactors such as Hsp40, the Hsp70-interacting protein Hip, and the Hsc70/Hsp90-organizing protein Hop. Recent studies have now added another component to the list of Hsc70 cofactors, the BAG-1 protein. Initially identified as an anti-apoptotic molecule and binding partner of the cell death inhibitor Bcl-2, BAG-1 appears to fulfill its cellular function through a modulation of Hsc70's chaperone activity. BAG-1 acts as a nucleotide exchange factor in the Hsc70 ATPase cycle, thereby competing with the cofactor Hip which stabilizes the ADP-bound state of Hsc70. The functional characterization of BAG-1 thus reveals an unexpected versatility in the regulation of Hsc70 and appears to provide a link between apoptosis and the cellular chaperone machinery.

Heat Shock Protein 70 kDa (Hsp70) family molecular chaperones play critical roles in protein folding and trafficking in all eukaryotic cells. The mechanisms by which Hsp70 family chaperones are regulated, however, are only partly understood. BAG-1 binds the ATPase domains of Hsp70 and Hsc70, modulating their chaperone activity and functioning as a competitive antagonist of the co-chaperone Hip. We describe the identification of a family of BAG-1-related proteins from humans (BAG-2, BAG-3, BAG-4, BAG-5), the invertebrate Caenorhabditis elegans (BAG-1, BAG-2), and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (BAG-1A, BAG-1B). These proteins all contain a conserved approximately 45-amino acid region near their C termini (the BAG domain) that binds Hsc70/Hsp70, but they differ widely in their N-terminal domains. The human BAG-1, BAG-2, and BAG-3 proteins bind with high affinity (KD congruent with 1-10 nM) to the ATPase domain of Hsc70 and inhibit its chaperone activity in a Hip-repressible manner. The findings suggest opportunities for specification and diversification of Hsp70/Hsc70 chaperone functions through interactions with various BAG-family proteins.

The chaperone function of the mammalian 70-kDa heat shock proteins Hsc70 and Hsp70 is modulated by physical interactions with four previously identified chaperone cofactors: Hsp40, BAG-1, the Hsc70-interacting protein Hip, and the Hsc70-Hsp90-organizing protein Hop. Hip and Hop interact with Hsc70 via a tetratricopeptide repeat domain. In a search for additional tetratricopeptide repeat-containing proteins, we have identified a novel 35-kDa cytoplasmic protein, carboxyl terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP). CHIP is highly expressed in adult striated muscle in vivo and is expressed broadly in vitro in tissue culture. Hsc70 and Hsp70 were identified as potential interaction partners for this protein in a yeast two-hybrid screen. In vitro binding assays demonstrated direct interactions between CHIP and both Hsc70 and Hsp70, and complexes containing CHIP and Hsc70 were identified in immunoprecipitates of human skeletal muscle cells in vivo. Using glutathione S-transferase fusions, we found that CHIP interacted with the carboxy-terminal residues 540 to 650 of Hsc70, whereas Hsc70 interacted with the amino-terminal residues 1 to 197 (containing the tetratricopeptide domain and an adjacent charged domain) of CHIP. Recombinant CHIP inhibited Hsp40-stimulated ATPase activity of Hsc70 and Hsp70, suggesting that CHIP blocks the forward reaction of the Hsc70-Hsp70 substrate-binding cycle. Consistent with this observation, both luciferase refolding and substrate binding in the presence of Hsp40 and Hsp70 were inhibited by CHIP. Taken together, these results indicate that CHIP decreases net ATPase activity and reduces chaperone efficiency, and they implicate CHIP in the negative regulation of the forward reaction of the Hsc70-Hsp70 substrate-binding cycle.

We have isolated two human ubiquitin-like (UbL) proteins that bind to a short peptide within the ATPase domain of the Hsp70-like Stch protein. Chap1 is a duplicated homologue of the yeast Dsk2 gene that is required for transit through the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and expression of the human full-length cDNA restored viability and suppressed the G2/M arrest phenotype of dsk2Delta rad23Delta Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants. Chap2 is a homologue for Xenopus scythe which is an essential component of reaper-induced apoptosis in egg extracts. While the N-terminal UbL domains were not essential for Stch binding, Chap1/Dsk2 contains a Sti1-like repeat sequence that is required for binding to Stch and is also conserved in the Hsp70 binding proteins, Hip and p60/Sti1/Hop. These findings extend the association between Hsp70 members and genes encoding UbL sequences and suggest a broader role for the Hsp70-like ATPase family in regulating cell cycle and cell death events.
