Structurally and sequence-wise, the Hsp110s belong to a subfamily of the Hsp70 chaperones. Like the classical Hsp70s, members of the Hsp110 subfamily can bind misfolding polypeptides and hydrolyze ATP. However, they apparently act as a mere subordinate nucleotide exchange factors, regulating the ability of Hsp70 to hydrolyze ATP and convert stable protein aggregates into native proteins. Using stably misfolded and aggregated polypeptides as substrates in optimized in vitro chaperone assays, we show that the human cytosolic Hsp110s (HSPH1 and HSPH2) are bona fide chaperones on their own that collaborate with Hsp40 (DNAJA1 and DNAJB1) to hydrolyze ATP and unfold and thus convert stable misfolded polypeptides into natively refolded proteins. Moreover, equimolar Hsp70 (HSPA1A) and Hsp110 (HSPH1) formed a powerful molecular machinery that optimally reactivated stable luciferase aggregates in an ATP- and DNAJA1-dependent manner, in a disaggregation mechanism whereby the two paralogous chaperones alternatively activate the release of bound unfolded polypeptide substrates from one another, leading to native protein refolding. 相似文献

The kinetic parameters and energy cost of the Hsp70 chaperone as a polypeptide unfoldase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Hsp70-Hsp40-NEF and possibly Hsp100 are the only known molecular chaperones that can use the energy of ATP to convert stably pre-aggregated polypeptides into natively refolded proteins. However, the kinetic parameters and ATP costs have remained elusive because refolding reactions have only been successful with a molar excess of chaperones over their polypeptide substrates. Here we describe a stable, misfolded luciferase species that can be efficiently renatured by substoichiometric amounts of bacterial Hsp70-Hsp40-NEF. The reactivation rates increased with substrate concentration and followed saturation kinetics, thus allowing the determination of apparent V(max)' and K(m)' values for a chaperone-mediated renaturation reaction for the first time. Under the in vitro conditions used, one Hsp70 molecule consumed five ATPs to effectively unfold a single misfolded protein into an intermediate that, upon chaperone dissociation, spontaneously refolded to the native state, a process with an ATP cost a thousand times lower than expected for protein degradation and resynthesis. 相似文献

Active solubilization and refolding of stable protein aggregates by cooperative unfolding action of individual hsp70 chaperones 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Hsp70 is a central molecular chaperone that passively prevents protein aggregation and uses the energy of ATP hydrolysis to solubilize, translocate, and mediate the proper refolding of proteins in the cell. Yet, the molecular mechanism by which the active Hsp70 chaperone functions are achieved remains unclear. Here, we show that the bacterial Hsp70 (DnaK) can actively unfold misfolded structures in aggregated polypeptides, leading to gradual disaggregation. We found that the specific unfolding and disaggregation activities of individual DnaK molecules were optimal for large aggregates but dramatically decreased for small aggregates. The active unfolding of the smallest aggregates, leading to proper global refolding, required the cooperative action of several DnaK molecules per misfolded polypeptide. This finding suggests that the unique ATP-fueled locking/unlocking mechanism of the Hsp70 chaperones can recruit random chaperone motions to locally unfold misfolded structures and gradually disentangle stable aggregates into refoldable proteins. 相似文献

Review: mechanisms of disaggregation and refolding of stable protein aggregates by molecular chaperones 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Molecular chaperones are essential for the correct folding of proteins in the cell under physiological and stress conditions. Two activities have been traditionally attributed to molecular chaperones: (1) preventing aggregation of unfolded polypeptides and (2) assisting in the correct refolding of chaperone-bound denatured polypeptides. We discuss here a novel function of molecular chaperones: catalytic solubilization and refolding of stable protein aggregates. In Escherichia coli, disaggregation is carried out by a network of ATPase chaperones consisting of a DnaK core, assisted by the cochaperones DnaJ, GrpE, ClpB, and GroEL-GroES. We suggest a sequential mechanism in which (a) ClpB exposes new DnaK-binding sites on the surface of the stable protein aggregates; (b) DnaK binds the aggregate surfaces and, by doing so, melts the incorrect hydrophobic associations between aggregated polypeptides; (c) ATP hydrolysis and DnaK release allow local intramolecular refolding of native domains, leading to a gradual weakening of improper intermolecular links; (d) DnaK and GroEL complete refolding of solubilized polypeptide chains into native proteins. Thus, active disaggregation by the chaperone network can serve as a central cellular tool for the recovery of native proteins from stress-induced aggregates and actively remove disease-causing toxic aggregates, such as polyglutamine-rich proteins, amyloid plaques, and prions. 相似文献

Proteinaceous infectious behavior in non-pathogenic proteins is controlled by molecular chaperones 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
External stresses or mutations may cause labile proteins to lose their distinct native conformations and seek alternatively stable aggregated forms. Molecular chaperones that specifically act on protein aggregates were used here as a tool to address the biochemical nature of stable homo- and hetero-aggregates from non-pathogenic proteins formed by heat-stress. Confirmed by sedimentation and activity measurements, chaperones demonstrated that a single polypeptide chain can form different species of aggregates, depending on the denaturing conditions. Indicative of a cascade reaction, sub-stoichiometric amounts of one fast-aggregating protein strongly accelerated the conversion of another soluble, slow-aggregating protein into insoluble, chaperone-resistant aggregates. Chaperones strongly inhibited seed-induced protein aggregation, suggesting that they can prevent and cure proteinaceous infectious behavior in homo- and hetero-aggregates from common and disease-associated proteins in the cell. 相似文献

We report the results of longest to date simulation on misfolding of monomeric human prion protein (HuPrP). By comparing our simulation of a partially unfolded protein to the simulation of the native protein, we observe that the native protein as well as native regions in the partially unfolded protein remain in the native state, and the unfolded regions fold back with increased extended (sheet and PP-II) conformations. The misfolded regions show increased basin hopping from non-helical basins while the amino acids locked in the helical conformation tend to stay locked in that conformation. Our results also validate the hypothesis that denaturation of helices and formation of a partially unfolded intermediate is required for misfolding as the native protein stayed in native conformation for the entire simulation. Finally, we also observe that there is no correlation between misfolding and the chemical identity of amino acids, as both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids showed equal probability of sampling extensively from non-native conformations. 相似文献

Folding of newly synthesized cytosolic proteins has been proposed to require assistance by Hsp70 chaperones. We investigated whether two Hsp70 homologs of Escherichia coli, DnaK and HscA, have this role in vivo. Double mutants lacking dnaK and hscA were viable and lacked defects in protein folding at intermediate temperature. After heat shock, a subpopulation of pre-existing proteins slowly aggregated in mutants lacking DnaK, but not HscA, whereas the bulk of newly synthesized proteins displayed wild-type solubility. For thermolabile firefly luciferase, DnaK was dispensable for de novo folding at 30 degrees C, but essential for aggregation prevention during heat shock and subsequent refolding. DnaK and HscA are thus not strictly essential for folding of newly synthesized proteins. DnaK instead has functions in refolding of misfolded proteins that are essential under stress. 相似文献

Most proteins in the cell adopt a compact, globular fold that determines their stability and function. Partial protein unfolding under conditions of cellular stress results in the exposure of hydrophobic regions normally buried in the interior of the native structure. Interactions involving the exposed hydrophobic surfaces of misfolded protein conformers lead to the formation of toxic aggregates, including oligomers, protofibrils and amyloid fibrils. A significant number of human disorders (e.g. Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and type II diabetes) are characterised by protein misfolding and aggregation. Over the past five years, outstanding progress has been made in the development of therapeutic strategies targeting these diseases. Three promising approaches include: (1) inhibiting protein aggregation with peptides or small molecules identified via structure-based drug design or high-throughput screening; (2) interfering with post-translational modifications that stimulate protein misfolding and aggregation; and (3) upregulating molecular chaperones or aggregate-clearance mechanisms. Ultimately, drug combinations that capitalise on more than one therapeutic strategy will constitute the most effective treatment for patients with these devastating illnesses. 相似文献

Prion diseases are associated with the structural conversion of prion protein (PrP) to a β-sheet-rich aggregate, PrPSc. Previous studies have indicated that a reduction of the disulfide bond linking C179 and C214 of PrP yields an amyloidlike β-rich aggregate in vitro. To gain mechanistic insights into the reduction-induced aggregation, here I characterized how disulfide bond reduction modulates the protein folding/misfolding landscape of PrP, by examining 1) the equilibrium stabilities of the native (N) and aggregated states relative to the unfolded (U) state, 2) the transition barrier separating the U and aggregated states, and 3) the final structure of amyloidlike misfolded aggregates. Kinetic and thermodynamic experiments revealed that disulfide bond reduction decreases the equilibrium stabilities of both the N and aggregated states by ~3 kcal/mol, without changing either the amyloidlike aggregate structure, at least at the secondary structural level, or the transition barrier of aggregation. Therefore, disulfide bond reduction modulates the protein folding/misfolding landscape by entropically stabilizing disordered states, including the U and transition state of aggregation. This also indicates that the equilibrium stability of the N state, but not the transition barrier of aggregation, is the dominant factor determining the reduction-induced aggregation of PrP. 相似文献

Protein misfolding and aggregation are inevitable but detrimental cellular processes. Cells therefore possess protein quality control mechanisms based on chaperones and proteases that (re)fold or hydrolyze unfolded, misfolded, and aggregated proteins. Besides these conserved quality control mechanisms, the spatial organization of protein aggregates (PAs) inside the cell has been proposed as an important additional strategy to deal with their cytotoxicity. In the bacterium Escherichia coli, however, it remained unclear how this spatial organization is established and how this process of assembling PAs in the cell poles affects cellular physiology. In this report, high hydrostatic pressure was used to transiently reverse protein aggregation in living E. coli cells, allowing the subsequent (re)assembly of PAs to be studied in detail. This approach revealed PA assembly to be dependent on intracellular energy and metabolic activity, with the resulting PA structure being confined to the cell pole by nucleoid occlusion. Moreover, a correlation could be observed between the time needed for PA reassembly and the individual lag time of the cells, which might prevent symmetric segregation of cytotoxic PAs among siblings to occur and ensure rapid spatial clearance of molecular damage throughout the emerging population. 相似文献

In the crowded environment of human cells, folding of nascent polypeptides and refolding of stress-unfolded proteins is error prone. Accumulation of cytotoxic misfolded and aggregated species may cause cell death, tissue loss, degenerative conformational diseases, and aging. Nevertheless, young cells effectively express a network of molecular chaperones and folding enzymes, termed here “the chaperome,” which can prevent formation of potentially harmful misfolded protein conformers and use the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to rehabilitate already formed toxic aggregates into native functional proteins. In an attempt to extend knowledge of chaperome mechanisms in cellular proteostasis, we performed a meta-analysis of human chaperome using high-throughput proteomic data from 11 immortalized human cell lines. Chaperome polypeptides were about 10 % of total protein mass of human cells, half of which were Hsp90s and Hsp70s. Knowledge of cellular concentrations and ratios among chaperome polypeptides provided a novel basis to understand mechanisms by which the Hsp60, Hsp70, Hsp90, and small heat shock proteins (HSPs), in collaboration with cochaperones and folding enzymes, assist de novo protein folding, import polypeptides into organelles, unfold stress-destabilized toxic conformers, and control the conformal activity of native proteins in the crowded environment of the cell. Proteomic data also provided means to distinguish between stable components of chaperone core machineries and dynamic regulatory cochaperones. 相似文献

Proteins with complex folding kinetics will be susceptible to misfolding at some stage in the folding process. We simulate this problem by using the diffusion-collision model to study non-native kinetic intermediate misfolding in a four-helix bundle protein. We find a limit on the size of the pairwise hydrophobic area loss in non-native intermediates, such that burying above this limit creates long-lasting non-native kinetic intermediates that would disrupt folding and prevent formation of the native state. Our study of misfolding suggests a method for limiting the production of misfolded kinetic intermediates for helical proteins and could, perhaps, lead to more efficient production of proteins in bulk. 相似文献

Hsc66, a stress-70 protein, and Hsc20, a J-type accessory protein, comprise a newly described Hsp70-type chaperone system in addition to DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE in Escherichia coli. Because endogenous substrates for the Hsc66-Hsc20 system have not yet been identified, we investigated chaperone-like activities of Hsc66 and Hsc20 by their ability to suppress aggregation of denatured model substrate proteins, such as rhodanese, citrate synthase, and luciferase. Hsc66 suppressed aggregation of rhodanese and citrate synthase, and ATP caused effects consistent with complex destabilization typical of other Hsp70-type chaperones. Differences in the activities of Hsc66 and DnaK, however, suggest that these chaperones have dissimilar substrate specificity profiles. Hsc20, unlike DnaJ, did not exhibit intrinsic chaperone activity and appears to function solely as a regulatory cochaperone protein for Hsc66. Possible interactions between the Hsc66-Hsc20 and DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE chaperone systems were also investigated by measuring the effects of cochaperone proteins on Hsp70 ATPase activities. The nucleotide exchange factor GrpE did not stimulate the ATPase activity of Hsc66 and thus appears to function specifically with DnaK. Cross-stimulation by the cochaperones Hsc20 and DnaJ was observed, but the requirement for supraphysiological concentrations makes it unlikely that these interactions occur significantly in vivo. Together these results suggest that Hsc66-Hsc20 and DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE comprise separate molecular chaperone systems with distinct, nonoverlapping cellular functions. 相似文献

Protein misfolding: optional barriers, misfolded intermediates, and pathway heterogeneity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
To investigate the character and role of misfolded intermediates in protein folding, a recombinant cytochrome c without the normally blocking histidine to heme misligation was studied. Folding remains heterogeneous as in the wild-type protein. Half of the population folds relatively rapidly to the native state in a two-state manner. The other half collapses (fluorescence quenching) and forms a full complement of helix (CD) with the same rate and denaturant dependence as the fast folding fraction but then is blocked and reaches the native structure (695nm absorbance) much more slowly. The factors that transiently block folding are not intrinsic to the folding process but depend on ambient conditions, including protein aggregation (f(concentration)), N terminus to heme misligation (f(pH)), and proline mis-isomerization (f(U state equilibration time)). The misfolded intermediate populated by the slowly folding fraction was characterized by hydrogen exchange pulse labeling. It is very advanced with all of the native-like elements fairly stably formed but not the final Met80-S to heme iron ligation, similar to a previously studied molten globule form induced by low pH. To complete final native state acquisition, some small back unfolding is required (error repair) but the misfolded intermediate does not revisit the U state before proceeding to N. These properties show that the intermediate is a normal on-pathway form that contains, in addition, adventitious misfolding errors that transiently block its forward progress. Related observations for other proteins (partially misfolded intermediates, pathway heterogeneity) might be similarly explained in terms of the optional insertion of error-dependent barriers into a classical folding pathway. 相似文献

Eukaryotic cells must contend with a continuous stream of misfolded proteins that compromise the cellular protein homeostasis balance and jeopardize cell viability. An elaborate network of molecular chaperones and protein degradation factors continually monitor and maintain the integrity of the proteome. Cellular protein quality control relies on three distinct yet interconnected strategies whereby misfolded proteins can either be refolded, degraded, or delivered to distinct quality control compartments that sequester potentially harmful misfolded species. Molecular chaperones play a critical role in determining the fate of misfolded proteins in the cell. Here, we discuss the spatial and temporal organization of cellular quality control strategies and their implications for human diseases linked to protein misfolding and aggregation. 相似文献

Various human neurodegenerative disorders are associated with processes that involve misfolding of polypeptide chains. These so-called protein misfolding disorders include Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and an increasing number of inherited syndromes that affect neurons involved in motor control circuits throughout the central nervous system. The reasons behind the particular susceptibility of neurons to misfolded proteins are currently not known. The main function of a class of proteins known as molecular chaperones is to prevent protein misfolding and aggregation. Although neuronal cells contain the major known classes of molecular chaperones, central-nervous-system-specific chaperones that maintain the neuronal proteome free from misfolded proteins are not well defined. In this study, we assign a novel molecular chaperone activity to the protein sacsin responsible for autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay, a degenerative disorder of the cerebellum and spinal cord. Using purified components, we demonstrate that a region of sacsin that contains a segment with homology to the molecular chaperone Hsp90 is able to enhance the refolding efficiency of the model client protein firefly luciferase. We show that this region of sacsin is highly capable of maintaining client polypeptides in soluble folding-competent states. Furthermore, we demonstrate that sacsin can efficiently cooperate with members of the Hsp70 chaperone family to increase the yields of correctly folded client proteins. Thus, we have identified a novel chaperone directly involved in a human neurodegenerative disorder. 相似文献

Getting a grip on non-native proteins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It is an underappreciated fact that non-native polypeptides are prevalent in the cellular environment. Native proteins have the folded structure, assembled state and cellular localization required for activity. By contrast, non-native proteins lack function and are particularly prone to aggregation because hydrophobic residues that are normally buried are exposed on their surfaces. These unstable entities include polypeptides that are undergoing synthesis, transport to and translocation across membranes, and those that are unfolded before degradation. Non-native proteins are normal, biologically relevant components of a healthy cell, except in cases in which their misfolding results from disease-causing mutations or adverse extrinsic factors. Here, we explore the nature and occurrence of non-native proteins, and describe the diverse families of molecular chaperones and coordinated cellular responses that have evolved to prevent their misfolding and aggregation, thereby maintaining quality control over these potentially damaging protein species. 相似文献

Size-dependent disaggregation of stable protein aggregates by the DnaK chaperone machinery 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Diamant S Ben-Zvi AP Bukau B Goloubinoff P 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2000,275(28):21107-21113
Classic in vitro studies show that the Hsp70 chaperone system from Escherichia coli (DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE, the DnaK system) can bind to proteins, prevent aggregation, and promote the correct refolding of chaperone-bound polypeptides into native proteins. However, little is known about how the DnaK system handles proteins that have already aggregated. In this study, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was used as a model system to generate stable populations of protein aggregates comprising controlled ranges of particle sizes. The DnaK system recognized the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase aggregates as authentic substrates and specifically solubilized and refolded the protein into a native enzyme. The efficiency of disaggregation by the DnaK system was high with small aggregates, but the efficiency decreased as the size of the aggregates increased. High folding efficiency was restored by either excess DnaK or substoichiometric amounts of the chaperone ClpB. We suggest a mechanism whereby the DnaK system can readily solubilize small aggregates and refold them into active proteins. With large aggregates, however, the binding sites for the DnaK system had to be dynamically exposed with excess DnaK or the catalytic action of ClpB and ATP. Disaggregation by the DnaK machinery in the cell can solubilize early aggregates that formed accidentally during chaperone-assisted protein folding or that escaped the protection of "holding" chaperones during stress. 相似文献

A Monte Carlo simulation based sequence design method is proposed to investigate the role of site-directed point mutations in protein misfolding. Site-directed point mutations are incorporated in the designed sequences of selected proteins. While most mutated sequences correctly fold to their native conformation, some of them stabilize in other nonnative conformations and thus misfold/unfold. The results suggest that a critical number of hydrophobic amino acid residues must be present in the core of the correctly folded proteins, whereas proteins misfold/unfold if this number of hydrophobic residues falls below the critical limit. A protein can accommodate only a particular number of hydrophobic residues at the surface, provided a large number of hydrophilic residues are present at the surface and critical hydrophobicity of the core is preserved. Some surface sites are observed to be equally sensitive toward site-directed point mutations as the core sites. Point mutations with highly polar and charged amino acids increases the misfold/unfold propensity of proteins. Substitution of natural amino acids at sites with different number of nonbonded contacts suggests that both amino acid identity and its respective site-specificity determine the stability of a protein. A clash-match method is developed to calculate the number of matching and clashing interactions in the mutated protein sequences. While misfolded/unfolded sequences have a higher number of clashing and a lower number of matching interactions, the correctly folded sequences have a lower number of clashing and a higher number of matching interactions. These results are valid for different SCOP classes of proteins. 相似文献
