The Escherichia coli molecular chaperone protein ClpB is a member of the highly conserved Hsp100/Clp protein family. Previous studies have shown that the ClpB protein is needed for bacterial thermotolerance. Purified ClpB protein has been shown to reactivate chemically and heat-denatured proteins. In this work we demonstrate that the combined action of ClpB and the DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE chaperones leads to the activation of DNA replication of the broad-host-range plasmid RK2. In contrast, ClpB is not needed for the activation of the oriC-dependent replication of E. coli. Using purified protein components we show that the ClpB/DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE synergistic action activates the plasmid RK2 replication initiation protein TrfA by converting inactive dimers to an active monomer form. In contrast, Hsp78/Ssc1/Mdj1/Mge1, the corresponding protein system from yeast mitochondria, cannot activate the TrfA replication protein. Our results demonstrate for the first time that the ClpB/DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE system is involved in protein monomerization and in the activation of a DNA replication factor. 相似文献

Heat shock protein-mediated disassembly of nucleoprotein structures is required for the initiation of bacteriophage lambda DNA replication 总被引:27,自引:0,他引:27
Three Escherichia coli heat shock proteins, DnaJ, DnaK, and GrpE, are required for replication of the bacteriophage lambda chromosome in vivo. We show that the GrpE heat shock protein is not required for initiation of lambda DNA replication in vitro when the concentration of DnaK is sufficiently high. GrpE does, however, greatly potentiate the action of DnaK in the initiation process when the DnaK concentration is reduced to a subsaturating level. We demonstrate in the accompanying articles (Alfano, C. and McMacken, R. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 10699-10708; Dodson, M., McMacken, R., and Echols, H. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 10719-10725) that DnaJ and DnaK bind to prepriming nucleoprotein structures that are assembled at the lambda replication origin (ori lambda). Binding of DnaJ and DnaK completes the ordered assembly of an ori lambda initiation complex that also contains the lambda O and P initiators and the E. coli DnaB helicase. With the addition of ATP, the DnaJ and DnaK heat shock proteins mediate the partial disassembly of the initiation complex, and the P and DnaJ proteins are largely removed from the template. Concomitantly, on supercoiled ori lambda plasmid templates, the intrinsic helicase activity of DnaB is activated and DnaB initiates localized unwinding of the DNA duplex, thereby preparing the template for priming and DNA chain elongation. We infer from our results that DnaK and DnaJ function in normal E. coli metabolism to promote ATP-dependent protein unfolding and disassembly reactions. We also provide evidence that neither the lambda O and P initiators nor the E. coli DnaJ and DnaK heat shock proteins play a direct role in the propagation of lambda replication forks in vitro. 相似文献

Members of the conserved Hsp70 chaperone family are assumed to constitute a main cellular system for the prevention and the amelioration of stress-induced protein damage, though little direct evidence exists for this function. We investigated the roles of the DnaK (Hsp70), DnaJ and GrpE chaperones of Escherichia coli in prevention and repair of thermally induced protein damage using firefly luciferase as a test substrate. In vivo, luciferase was rapidly inactivated at 42 degrees C, but was efficiently reactivated to 50% of its initial activity during subsequent incubation at 30 degrees C. DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE did not prevent luciferase inactivation, but were essential for its reactivation. In vitro, reactivation of heat-inactivated luciferase to 80% of its initial activity required the combined activity of DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE as well as ATP, but not GroEL and GroES. DnaJ associated with denatured luciferase, targeted DnaK to the substrate and co-operated with DnaK to prevent luciferase aggregation at 42 degrees C, an activity that was required for subsequent reactivation. The protein repair function of DnaK, GrpE and, in particular, DnaJ is likely to be part of the role of these proteins in regulation of the heat shock response. 相似文献

All type I DnaJ (Hsp40) homologues share the presence of two highly conserved zinc centers. To elucidate their function, we constructed DnaJ mutants that separately replaced cysteines of either zinc center I or zinc center II with serine residues. We found that in the absence of zinc center I, the autonomous, DnaK-independent chaperone activity of DnaJ is dramatically reduced. Surprisingly, this only slightly impaired the in vivo function of DnaJ, and its ability to function as a co-chaperone in the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE foldase machine. The DnaJ zinc center II, on the other hand, was found to be absolutely essential for the in vivo and in vitro function of DnaJ. This did not seem to be caused by a lack of substrate binding affinity or an inability to work as an ATPase-stimulating factor. Rather it appears that zinc center II mutant proteins lack a necessary additional interaction site with DnaK, which seems to be crucial for locking-in substrate proteins onto DnaK. These findings led us to a model in which ATP hydrolysis in DnaK is only the first step in converting DnaK into its high affinity binding state. Additional interactions between DnaK and DnaJ are required to make the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE foldase machinery catalytically active. 相似文献

Regulation of ATPase and chaperone cycle of DnaK from Thermus thermophilus by the nucleotide exchange factor GrpE 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Groemping Y Klostermeier D Herrmann C Veit T Seidel R Reinstein J 《Journal of molecular biology》2001,305(5):1173-1183
The nucleotide binding and release cycle of the molecular chaperone DnaK is regulated by the accessory proteins GrpE and DnaJ, also called co-chaperones. The concerted action of the nucleotide exchange factor GrpE and the ATPase-stimulating factor DnaJ determines the ratio of the two nucleotide states of DnaK, which differ in their mode of interaction with unfolded proteins. In the Escherichia coli system, the stimulation by these two antagonists is comparable in magnitude, resulting in a balance of the two nucleotide states of DnaK(Eco) in the absence and the presence of co-chaperones.The regulation of the DnaK chaperone system from Thermus thermophilus is apparently substantially different. Here, DnaJ does not stimulate the DnaK-mediated ATP hydrolysis and thus does not appear to act as an antagonist of the nucleotide exchange factor GrpE(Tth). This raises the question of whether T. thermophilus GrpE stimulates nucleotide exchange to a smaller degree as compared to the E. coli system and how the corresponding rates relate to intrinsic ATPase and ATP binding as well as luciferase refolding kinetics of T. thermophilus DnaK.We determined dissociation constants as well as kinetic constants that describe the interactions between the T. thermophilus molecular chaperone DnaK, its nucleotide exchange factor GrpE and the fluorescent ADP analogue N8-(4-N'-methylanthraniloylaminobutyl)-8-aminoadenosine-5'-diphosphate by isothermal equilibrium titration calorimetry and stopped-flow kinetic experiments and investigated the influence of T. thermophilus DnaJ on the DnaK nucleotide cycle.The interaction of GrpE with the DnaK.ADP complex versus nucleotide-free DnaK can be described by a simple equilibrium system, where GrpE reduces the affinity of DnaK for ADP by a factor of about 10. Kinetic experiments indicate that the maximal acceleration of nucleotide release by GrpE is 80,000-fold at a saturating GrpE concentration.Our experiments show that in T. thermophilus, although the thermophilic DnaK system displays no stimulation of the DnaK-ATPase activity by DnaJ, nucleotide exchange is still efficiently stimulated by GrpE. This indicates that two counteracting factors are not absolutely necessary to maintain a functional and regulated chaperone cycle. This conclusion is corroborated by data that show that the slower ATPase cycle of the DnaK system as well as of heterologous T. thermophilus DnaK/E. coli DnaK systems is directly reflected in altered refolding kinetics of firefly luciferase but not necessarily in refolding yields. 相似文献

Archaea are prokaryotes but some of their chaperoning systems resemble those of eukaryotes. Also, not all archaea possess the stress protein Hsp70(DnaK), in contrast with bacteria and eukaryotes, which possess it without any known exception. Further, the primary structure of the archaeal DnaK resembles more the bacterial than the eukaryotic homologues. The work reported here addresses two questions: Is the archaeal Hsp70 protein a chaperone, like its homologues in the other two phylogenetic domains? And, if so, is the chaperoning mechanism of bacterial or eukaryotic type? The data have shown that the DnaK protein of the archaeon Methanosarcina mazei functions efficiently as a chaperone in luciferase renaturation in vitro, and that it requires DnaJ, and the other bacterial-type chaperone, GrpE, to perform its function. The M. mazei DnaK chaperone activity was enhanced by interaction with the bacterial co-chaperone DnaJ, but not by the eukaryotic homologue HDJ-2. Both the bacterial GrpE and DnaJ stimulated the ATPase activity of the M. mazei DnaK. The M. mazei DnaK-dependent chaperoning pathway in vitro is similar to that of the bacterium Escherichia coli used for comparison. However, in vivo analyses indicate that there are also significant differences. The M. mazei dnaJ and grpE genes rescued E.coli mutants lacking these genes, but E.coli dnaK mutants were not complemented by the M. mazei dnaK gene. Thus, while the data from in vitro tests demonstrate functional similarities between the M. mazei and E.coli DnaK proteins, in vivo results indicate that, intracellularly, the chaperones from the two species differ. 相似文献

In this study, we characterized the DnaK chaperone system from Tetragenococcus halophilus, a halophilic lactic acid bacterium. An in vivo complementation test showed that under heat stress conditions, T. halophilus DnaK did not rescue the growth of the Escherichia coli dnaK deletion mutant, whereas T. halophilus DnaJ and GrpE complemented the corresponding mutations of E. coli. Purified T. halophilus DnaK showed intrinsic weak ATPase activity and holding chaperone activity in vitro, but T. halophilus DnaK did not cooperate with the purified DnaJ and GrpE from either T. halophilus or E. coli in ATP hydrolysis or luciferase-refolding reactions under the conditions tested. E. coli DnaK, however, cross-reacted with those from both bacteria. This difference in the cooperation with DnaJ and GrpE appears to result in an inability of T. halophilus DnaK to replace the in vivo function of the DnaK chaperone of E. coli. 相似文献

Various environmental insults result in irreversible damage to proteins and protein complexes. To cope, cells have evolved dedicated protein quality control mechanisms involving molecular chaperones and proteases. Here, we provide both genetic and biochemical evidence that the Lon protease and the SecB and DnaJ/Hsp40 chaperones are involved in the quality control of presecretory proteins in Escherichia coli. We showed that mutations in the lon gene alleviate the cold-sensitive phenotype of a secB mutant. Such suppression was not observed with either clpP or clpQ protease mutants. In comparison to the respective single mutants, the double secB lon mutant strongly accumulates aggregates of SecB substrates at physiological temperatures, suggesting that the chaperone and the protease share substrates. These observations were extended in vitro by showing that the main substrates identified in secB lon aggregates, namely proOmpF and proOmpC, are highly sensitive to specific degradation by Lon. In contrast, both substrates are significantly protected from Lon degradation by SecB. Interestingly, the chaperone DnaJ by itself protects substrates better from Lon degradation than SecB or the complete DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone machinery. In agreement with this finding, a DnaJ mutant protein that does not functionally interact in vivo with DnaK efficiently suppresses the SecB cold-sensitive phenotype, highlighting the role of DnaJ in assisting presecretory proteins. Taken together, our data suggest that when the Sec secretion pathway is compromised, a pool of presecretory proteins is transiently maintained in a translocation-competent state and, thus, protected from Lon degradation by either the SecB or DnaJ chaperones. 相似文献

DnaK, a Hsp70 homolog of Escherichia coli, together with its co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE protects denatured proteins from aggregation and promotes their refolding by an ATP-consuming mechanism. DnaJ not only stimulates the gamma-phosphate cleavage of DnaK-bound ATP but also binds polypeptide substrates on its own. Unfolded polypeptides, such as denatured luciferase, thus form ternary complexes with DnaJ and DnaK. A previous study has shown that d-peptides compete with l-peptides for the same binding site in DnaJ but do not bind to DnaK (Feifel, B., Sch?nfeld, H.-J., and Christen, P. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 11999-12002). Here we report that d-peptides efficiently inhibit the refolding of denatured luciferase by the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone system (EC50 = 1-2 microM). The inhibition of the chaperone action is due to the binding of d-peptide to DnaJ (Kd = 1-2 microM), which seems to preclude DnaJ from forming ternary (ATP.DnaK)m.substrate.DnaJn complexes. Apparently, simultaneous binding of DnaJ and DnaK to one and the same target polypeptide is essential for effective chaperone action. 相似文献

DnaK/Hsp70 proteins are universally conserved ATP-dependent molecular chaperones that help proteins adopt and maintain their native conformations. DnaJ/Hsp40 and GrpE are co-chaperones that assist DnaK. CbpA is an Escherichia coli DnaJ homolog. It acts as a multicopy suppressor for dnaJ mutations and functions in vitro in combination with DnaK and GrpE in protein remodeling reactions. CbpA binds nonspecifically to DNA with preference for curved DNA and is a nucleoid-associated protein. The DNA binding and co-chaperone activities of CbpA are modulated by CbpM, a small protein that binds specifically to CbpA. To identify the regions of CbpA involved in the interaction of CbpA with CbpM and those involved in DNA binding, we constructed and characterized deletion and substitution mutants of CbpA. We discovered that CbpA interacted with CbpM through its N-terminal J-domain. We found that the region C-terminal to the J-domain was required for DNA binding. Moreover, we found that the CbpM interaction, DNA binding, and co-chaperone activities were separable; some mutants were proficient in some functions and defective in others. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) of the Hsp70 and GroEL families associate with a variety of cell proteins in vivo. However, the formation of such complexes has not been systematically studied. A 31-kDa fusion protein (CRAG), which contains 12 residues of cro repressor, truncated protein A, and 14 residues of beta-galactosidase, when expressed in Escherichia coli, was found in complexes with DnaK, GrpE, protease La, and GroEL. When an E. coli extract not containing CRAG was applied to an affinity column containing CRAG, DnaK, GroEL, and GrpE were selectively bound. These HSPs did not bind to a normal protein A column. DnaK, GrpE, and the fraction of GroEL could be eluted from the CRAG column with ATP but not with a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog. The ATP-dependent release of DnaK and GroEL also required Mg2+, but GrpE dissociated with ATP alone. The binding and release of DnaK and GroEL were independent events, but the binding of GrpE required DnaK. Inactivation of DnaJ, GrpE, and GroES did not affect the association or dissociation of DnaK or GroEL from CRAG. The DnaK and GrpE proteins could be eluted with 10(-6) M ATP, but 10(-4) M was required for GroEL release. This approach allows a one-step purification of these proteins from E. coli and also the isolation of the DnaK and GroEL homologs from yeast mitochondria. Competition experiments with oligopeptide fragments of CRAG showed that DnaK and GroEL interact with different sites on CRAG and that the cro-derived domain of CRAG contains the DnaK-binding site. 相似文献

In addition to the sigma(32)-mediated heat shock response, the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE molecular chaperone system of Escherichia coli directly adapts to elevated temperatures by sequestering a higher fraction of substrate. This immediate heat shock response is due to the differential temperature dependence of the activity of DnaJ, which stimulates the hydrolysis of DnaK-bound ATP, and the activity of GrpE, which facilitates ADP/ATP exchange and converts DnaK from its high-affinity ADP-liganded state into its low-affinity ATP-liganded state. GrpE acts as thermosensor with its ADP/ATP exchange activity decreasing above 40 degrees C. To assess the importance of this reversible thermal adaptation for the chaperone action of the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE system during heat shock, we used glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and luciferase as substrates. We compared the performance of wild-type GrpE as a component of the chaperone system with that of GrpE R40C. In this mutant, the thermosensing helices are stabilized with an intersubunit disulfide bond and its nucleotide exchange activity thus increases continuously with increasing temperature. Wild-type GrpE with intact thermosensor proved superior to GrpE R40C with desensitized thermosensor. The chaperone system with wild-type GrpE yielded not only a higher fraction of refolding-competent protein at the end of a heat shock but also protected luciferase more efficiently against inactivation during heat shock. Consistent with their differential thermal behavior, the protective effects of wild-type GrpE and GrpE R40C diverged more and more with increasing temperature. Thus, the direct thermal adaptation of the DnaK chaperone system by thermosensing GrpE is essential for efficient chaperone action during heat shock. 相似文献

The DnaK chaperone of Escherichia coli assists protein folding by an ATP-dependent interaction with short peptide stretches within substrate polypeptides. This interaction is regulated by the DnaJ and GrpE co-chaperones, which stimulate ATP hydrolysis and nucleotide exchange by DnaK, respectively. Furthermore, GrpE has been claimed to trigger substrate release independent of its role as a nucleotide exchange factor. However, we show here that GrpE can accelerate substrate release from DnaK exclusively in the presence of ATP. In addition, GrpE prevented the association of peptide substrates with DnaK through an activity of its N-terminal 33 amino acids. A ternary complex of GrpE, DnaK, and a peptide substrate could be observed only when the peptide binding to DnaK precedes GrpE binding. Furthermore, we demonstrate that GrpE slows down the release of a protein substrate, sigma(32), from DnaK in the absence of ATP. These findings suggest that the ATP-triggered dissociation of GrpE and substrates from DnaK occurs in a concerted fashion. 相似文献

ClpB is a heat-shock protein from Escherichia coli with an unknown function. We studied a possible molecular chaperone activity of ClpB in vitro. Firefly luciferase was denatured in urea and then diluted into the refolding buffer (in the presence of 5 mM ATP and 0.1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin). Spontaneous reactivation of luciferase was very weak (less than 0.02% of the native activity) because of extensive aggregation. Conventional chaperone systems (GroEL/GroES and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE) or ClpB alone did not reactivate luciferase under those conditions. However, ClpB together with DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE greatly enhanced the luciferase activity regain (up to 57% of native activity) by suppressing luciferase aggregation. This coordinated function of ClpB and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE required ATP hydrolysis, although the ClpB ATPase was not activated by native or denatured luciferase. When the chaperones were added to the luciferase refolding solutions after 5-25 min of refolding, ClpB and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE recovered the luciferase activity from preformed aggregates. Thus, we have identified a novel multi-chaperone system from E. coli, which is analogous to the Hsp104/Ssa1/Ydj1 system from yeast. ClpB is the only known bacterial Hsp100 protein capable of cooperating with other heat-shock proteins in suppressing and reversing protein aggregation. 相似文献
