The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E plays a critical role in the control of translation initiation through binding to the mRNA 5′ cap structure. eIF4E is also a component of processing bodies and stress granules, which are two types of cytoplasmic RNA granule in which translationally inactivated mRNAs accumulate. We found that treatment with the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin leads to a substantial reduction in the number of HeLa cells that contain processing bodies. In contrast, stress granules are not disrupted but seem to be only partially affected by the inhibition of Hsp90. However, it is striking that eIF4E as well as its binding partner eIF4E transporter (4E-T), which mediates the import of eIF4E into the nucleus, are obviously lost from stress granules. Furthermore, the amount of eIF4G that is associated with the cap via eIF4E is reduced by geldanamycin treatment. Thus, the chaperone activity of Hsp90 probably contributes to the correct localization of eIF4E and 4E-T to stress granules and also to the interaction between eIF4E and eIF4G, both of which may be needed for eIF4E to acquire the physiological functionality that underlies the mechanism of translation initiation.  相似文献

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone which modulates several signalling pathways within a cell. By applying co-immunoprecipitation with endogeneous Hsp90, we were able to identify 39 novel protein interaction partners of this chaperone in human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293). Interestingly, levels of DNA-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit, an Hsp90 interaction partner found in this study, were found to be sensitive to Hsp90 inhibitor treatment only in HeLa cells but not in HEK293 cells referring to the tumorgenicity of this chaperone.  相似文献

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone required for the conformational maturation and function of certain signaling proteins. Hsp90 inhibitors cause the inactivation, destabilization and eventual degradation of Hsp90 client proteins through occupying the ATP/ADP binding pocket of Hsp90. In the present study, we found that Hsp90 interacted with MEKK3 in HEK293 cells. Hsp90 inhibitors reduced the level of endogenous MEKK3 in time- and dose-dependent manners, and this decrease was reversed by Hsp90 overexpression. In addition, Hsp90 RNAi destabilized MEKK3. A selective inhibitor of Hsp90, geldanamycin (GA), shortened MEKK3 half-life, and induced ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of MEKK3. These results strongly suggested that Hsp90 could work as the molecular chaperone of MEKK3.  相似文献

The molecular chaperone Hsp90 modulates the function of specific cell signaling proteins. Although targeting Hsp90 with the antibiotic inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) may be a promising approach for cancer treatment, little is known about the determinants of Hsp90 interaction with its client proteins. Here we identify a loop within the N lobe of the kinase domain of ErbB2 that determines Hsp90 binding. The amino acid sequence of the loop determines the electrostatic and hydrophobic character of the protein's surface, which in turn govern interaction with Hsp90. A point mutation within the loop that alters ErbB2 surface properties disrupts Hsp90 association and confers GA resistance. Notably, the immature ErbB2 point mutant remains sensitive to GA, suggesting that mature and nascent client kinases may use distinct motifs to interact with the Hsp90 chaperone complex.  相似文献

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a chaperone protein regulating PC-12 cell survival by binding and stabilizing Akt, Raf-1, and Cdc37. Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) cytotoxicity has been attributed to the disruption of Hsp90 binding, and the contribution of oxidative stress generated by its quinone group has not been studied in this context. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell survival were assessed in PC-12 cells exposed to GA or menadione (MEN), and Akt, Raf-1, and Cdc37 expression and binding to Hsp90 were determined. GA disrupted Hsp90 binding and increased ROS production starting at 1 h, and cell death occurred at 6 h, inhibited by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) without preventing dissociation of proteins. At 24 h, NAC prevented cytotoxicity and Hsp90 complex disruption. However, MnTBAP antioxidant treatment failed to inhibit GA cytotoxicity, suggesting that NAC acts by restoring glutathione. In contrast, 24 h MEN treatment induced cytotoxicity without disrupting Hsp90 binding. GA and MEN decreased Hsp90-binding protein expression, and proteasomal inhibition prevented MEN-, but not GA-induced degradation. In conclusion, whereas MEN cytotoxicity is mediated by ROS and proteasomal degradation, GA-induced cytotoxicity requires ROS but induces Hsp90 complex dissociation and proteasome-independent protein degradation. These differences between MEN- and GA-induced cytotoxicity may allow more specific targeting of cancer cells.  相似文献

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that is required for the maturation and activation of a number of client proteins, many of which are involved in cancer development. The ansamycin family of natural products and their derivatives, such as geldanamycin (GA), are well-known inhibitors of the essential ATPase activity of Hsp90. Despite structural studies on the complexes of ansamycin derivatives with the ATPase domain of Hsp90, certain aspects of their inhibitory mechanism remain unresolved. For example, it is known that GA in solution exists in an extended conformation with a trans amide bond; however, it binds to Hsp90 in a significantly more compact conformation with a cis amide bond. GA and its derivatives have been shown to bind to Hsp90 with low micromolar affinity in vitro, in contrast to the low nanomolar anti-proliferative activity that these drugs exhibit in vivo. In addition, they show selectivity towards tumour cells. We have studied both the equilibrium binding, and the association and dissociation kinetics of GA derivative, 17-DMAG, and the fluorescently labelled analogue BDGA to both wild-type and mutant Hsp90. The mutants were made in order to test the hypothesis that conserved residues near the ATP-binding site may catalyse the trans-cis isomerisation of GA. Our results show that Hsp90 does not catalyse the trans-cis isomerisation of GA, and suggests that there is no isomerisation step before binding to Hsp90. Experiments with BDGA measured over a wide range of conditions, in the absence and in the presence of reducing agents, confirm recent studies that have suggested that the reduced dihydroquinone form of the drug binds to Hsp90 considerably more tightly than the non-reduced quinone species.  相似文献

The regulation of translation and mRNA degradation in eukaryotic cells involves the formation of cytoplasmic mRNP granules referred to as P-bodies and stress granules. The yeast Pbp1 protein and its mammalian ortholog, Ataxin-2, localize to stress granules and promote their formation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pbp1 also interacts with the Pab1, Lsm12, Pbp4, and Dhh1 proteins. In this work, we determined whether these Pbp1 interacting proteins also accumulated in stress granules and/or could affect their formation. These experiments revealed the following observations. First, the Lsm12, Pbp4, and Dhh1 proteins all accumulate in stress granules, whereas only the Dhh1 protein is a constitutive P-body component. Second, deletion or over-expression of the Pbp4 and Lsm12 proteins did not dramatically affect the formation of stress granules or P-bodies. In contrast, Pbp1 and Dhh1 over-expression inhibits cell growth, and for Dhh1, leads to the accumulation of stress granules. Finally, a strain lacking the Pab1 protein was reduced at forming stress granules, although they could still be detected. This indicates that Pab1 affects, but is not absolutely required for, stress granule formation. These observations offer new insight into the function of stress granule components with roles in stress granule assembly and mRNP regulation.  相似文献

Heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 is an ATP-dependent chaperone and its expression has been reported to be associated with poor prognosis of breast cancer. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are particular subtypes of cells in cancer which have been demonstrated to be important to tumor initiation, drug resistance and metastasis. In breast cancer, breast CSCs (BCSCs) are identified as CD24-CD44 + cells or cells with high intracellular aldehyde dehydrogenase activity (ALDH+). Although the clinical trials of Hsp90 inhibitors in breast cancer therapy are ongoing, the BCSC targeting effect of them remains unclear. In the present study, we discovered that the expression of Hsp90α was increased in ALDH + human breast cancer cells. Geldanamycin (GA), a Hsp90 inhibitor, could suppress ALDH + breast cancer cells in a dose dependent manner. We are interesting in the insufficiently inhibitory effect of low dose GA treatment. It was correlated with the upregulation of Hsp27 and Hsp70. By co-treatment with HSP inhibitors, quercetin or KNK437 potentiated BCSCs, which determined with ALDH+ population or mammosphere cells, toward GA inhibition, as well as anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects of GA. With siRNA mediated gene silencing, we found that knockdown of Hsp27 could mimic the effect of HSP inhibitors to potentiate the BCSC targeting effect of GA. In conclusion, combination of HSP inhibitors with Hsp90 inhibitors could serve as a potential solution to prevent the drug resistance and avoid the toxicity of high dose of Hsp90 inhibitors in clinical application. Furthermore, Hsp27 may play a role in chemoresistant character of BCSCs.  相似文献

The death domain kinase, receptor interacting protein (RIP), is one of the major components of the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) complex and plays an essential role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation. The activation of NF-kappaB protects cells against TNF-induced apoptosis. Heat-shock proteins (Hsps) are chaperone molecules that confer protein stability and help to restore protein native folding following heat shock and other stresses. The most abundant Hsp, Hsp90, is also involved in regulating the stability and function of a number of cell-signaling molecules. Here we report that RIP is a novel Hsp90-associated kinase and that disruption of Hsp90 function by its specific inhibitor, geldanamycin (GA), selectively causes RIP degradation and the subsequent inhibition of TNF-mediated IkappaB kinase and NF-kappaB activation. MG-132, a specific proteasome inhibitor, abrogated GA-induced degradation of RIP but failed to restore the activation of IkappaB kinase by TNF, perhaps because, in the presence of GA and MG-132, RIP accumulated in a detergent-insoluble subcellular fraction. Most importantly, the degradation of RIP sensitizes cells to TNF-induced apoptosis. These data indicate that Hsp90 plays an important role in TNF-mediated NF-kappaB activation by modulating the stability and solubility of RIP. Thus, inhibition of NF-kappaB activation by GA may be a critical component of the anti-tumor activity of this drug.  相似文献

Benzoquinoid ansamycins, such as herbimycin A (HA) and geldanamycin (GA), are antibiotics that exhibit anti-tumor effects. These compounds have been shown to result in the intracellular depletion of important growth signaling molecules. Recently, GA has been shown to bind tightly to Hsp90, thereby implicating Hsp90 as a possible chaperone for those signaling molecules adversely affected by the benzoquinoid ansamycins. Here we have investigated the effects of HA and GA on the synthesis, maturation and stability of different protein tyrosine kinases. Exposing cells to either compound blocked normal maturation of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, and pp60(v-src). We show that only the nascent forms of the EGF and PDGF receptors are degraded under these conditions. Once the newly synthesized receptors had been translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, addition of the drugs no longer affected their stability. For the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, pp60(v-src), both the nascent as well as the mature forms of the protein were degraded in cells treated with the drugs. We discuss these observations as they pertain to the possible role of Hsp90 as a substrate-specific molecular chaperone, perhaps involved in the maturation and/or stability of proteins important for growth control.  相似文献

The stress response of eukaryotic cells often causes an attenuation of bulk translation activity and the accumulation of non-translating mRNAs into cytoplasmic mRNP (messenger ribonucleoprotein) granules termed cytoplasmic P-bodies (processing bodies) and SGs (stress granules). We examined effects of acidic stress on the formation of mRNP granules compared with other forms of stress such as glucose deprivation and a high Ca2+ level in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Treatment with lactic acid clearly caused the formation of P-bodies, but not SGs, and also caused an attenuation of translation initiation, albeit to a lesser extent than glucose depletion. P-body formation was also induced by hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. However, lactic acid in SD (synthetic dextrose) medium with a pH greater than 3.0, propionic acid and acetic acid did not induce P-body formation. The results of the present study suggest that the assembly of yeast P-bodies can be induced by external conditions with a low pH and the threshold was around pH?2.5. The P-body formation upon acidic stress required Scd6 (suppressor of clathrin deficiency 6), a component of P-bodies, indicating that P-bodies induced by acidic stress have rules of assembly different from those induced by glucose deprivation or high Ca2+ levels.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic RNA granules serve key functions in the control of messenger RNA (mRNA) fate in eukaryotic cells. For instance, in yeast, severe stress induces mRNA relocalization to sites of degradation or storage called processing bodies (P-bodies). In this study, we show that the translation repression associated with glucose starvation causes the key translational mediators of mRNA recognition, eIF4E, eIF4G, and Pab1p, to resediment away from ribosomal fractions. These mediators then accumulate in P-bodies and in previously unrecognized cytoplasmic bodies, which we define as EGP-bodies. Our kinetic studies highlight the fundamental difference between EGP- and P-bodies and reflect the complex dynamics surrounding reconfiguration of the mRNA pool under stress conditions. An absence of key mRNA decay factors from EGP-bodies points toward an mRNA storage function for these bodies. Overall, this study highlights new potential control points in both the regulation of mRNA fate and the global control of translation initiation.  相似文献

Heat shock protein (Hsp) 70/Hsp90-organizing proteins (Hop/Sti1) are thought to function as adaptor proteins to link the two chaperone machineries Hsp70 and Hsp90 during the processing of substrate proteins in eukaryotes. Hop (Hsp70/Hsp90-organizing protein) is composed of three tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains, of which the first (TPR1) binds to Hsp70, the second (TPR2A) binds to Hsp90, and the third (TPR2B) is of unknown function. Contrary to most other eukaryotes, the homologue closest to the Caenorhabditis elegans Hop homologue R09E12.3 (CeHop) lacks the TPR1 domain and the short linker region connecting it to TPR2A, questioning the reported function as an Hsp90/Hsp70 adaptor in vitro and in vivo. We observed high constitutive expression levels of CeHop and detected significant phenotypes upon knockdown, linking the protein to functions in gonad development. Interestingly, we observed physical interactions with both chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90, albeit only the interaction with Hsp90 is strong and inhibition of the Hsp90 ATPase activity can be observed upon binding of CeHop. However, the formation of ternary complexes with both chaperone machineries is impaired, as Hsp70 and Hsp90 compete for CeHop interaction sites, in particular as Hsp90 binds to both TPR domains simultaneously and requires both TPR domains for ATPase regulation. These results imply that, at least in C. elegans, essential functions of Hop exist which apparently do not depend on the simultaneous binding of Hsp90 and Hsp70 to Hop.  相似文献

The nonstructural protein (NS1) of influenza A virus performs multiple functions in the virus life cycle. Proteomic screening for cellular proteins which interact with NS1 identified the cellular protein RAP55, which is one of the components of cellular processing bodies (P-bodies) and stress granules. To verify whether NS1 interacts with cellular P-bodies, interactions between NS1, RAP55, and other P-body-associated proteins (Ago1, Ago2, and DCP1a) were confirmed using coimmunoprecipitation and cellular colocalization assays. Overexpression of RAP55 induced RAP55-associated stress granule formation and suppressed virus replication. Knockdown of RAP55 with small interfering RNA (siRNA) or expression of a dominant-negative mutant RAP55 protein with defective interaction with P-bodies blocked NS1 colocalization to P-bodies in cells. Expression of NS1 inhibited RAP55 expression and formation of RAP55-associated P-bodies/stress granules. The viral nucleoprotein (NP) was found to be targeted to stress granules in the absence of NS1 but localized to P-bodies when NS1 was coexpressed. Restriction of virus replication via P-bodies occurred in the early phases of infection, as the number of RAP55-associated P-bodies in cells diminished over the course of virus infection. NS1 interaction with RAP55-associated P-bodies/stress granules was associated with RNA binding and mediated via a protein kinase R (PKR)-interacting viral element. Mutations introduced into either RNA binding sites (R38 and K41) or PKR interaction sites (I123, M124, K126, and N127) caused NS1 proteins to lose the ability to interact with RAP55 and to inhibit stress granules. These results reveal an interplay between virus and host during virus replication in which NP is targeted to P-bodies/stress granules while NS1 counteracts this host restriction mechanism.  相似文献

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a promising cancer drug target as a molecular chaperone critical for stabilization and activation of several of the oncoproteins that drive cancer progression. Its actions depend upon its essential ATPase, an activity fortuitously inhibited with a very high degree of selectivity by natural antibiotics: notably the actinomycete-derived benzoquinone ansamycins (e.g. geldanamycin) and certain fungal-derived resorcyclic acid lactones (e.g. radicicol). The molecular interactions made by these antibiotics when bound within the ADP/ATP-binding site of Hsp90 have served as templates for the development of several synthetic Hsp90 inhibitor drugs. Much attention now focuses on the clinical trials of these drugs. However, because microbes have evolved antibiotics to target Hsp90, it is probable that they often exploit Hsp90 inhibition when interacting with each other and with plants. Fungi known to produce Hsp90 inhibitors include mycoparasitic, as well as plant-pathogenic, endophytic and mycorrhizal species. The Hsp90 chaperone may, therefore, be a prominent target in establishing a number of mycoparasitic (interfungal), fungal pathogen–plant and symbiotic fungus–plant relationships. Furthermore the Hsp90 family proteins of the microbes that produce Hsp90 inhibitor antibiotics are able to reveal how drug resistance can arise by amino acid changes in the highly conserved ADP/ATP-binding site of Hsp90.  相似文献

Using a pharmacological inhibitor of Hsp90 in cultured malarial parasite, we have previously implicated Plasmodium falciparum Hsp90 (PfHsp90) as a drug target against malaria. In this study, we have biochemically characterized PfHsp90 in terms of its ATPase activity and interaction with its inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) and evaluated its potential as a drug target in a preclinical mouse model of malaria. In addition, we have explored the potential of Hsp90 inhibitors as drugs for the treatment of Trypanosoma infection in animals. Our studies with full-length PfHsp90 showed it to have the highest ATPase activity of all known Hsp90s; its ATPase activity was 6 times higher than that of human Hsp90. Also, GA brought about more robust inhibition of PfHsp90 ATPase activity as compared with human Hsp90. Mass spectrometric analysis of PfHsp90 expressed in P. falciparum identified a site of acetylation that overlapped with Aha1 and p23 binding domain, suggesting its role in modulating Hsp90 multichaperone complex assembly. Indeed, treatment of P. falciparum cultures with a histone deacetylase inhibitor resulted in a partial dissociation of PfHsp90 complex. Furthermore, we found a well known, semisynthetic Hsp90 inhibitor, namely 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, to be effective in attenuating parasite growth and prolonging survival in a mouse model of malaria. We also characterized GA binding to Hsp90 from another protozoan parasite, namely Trypanosoma evansi. We found 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin to potently inhibit T. evansi growth in a mouse model of trypanosomiasis. In all, our biochemical characterization, drug interaction, and animal studies supported Hsp90 as a drug target and its inhibitor as a potential drug against protozoan diseases.  相似文献
