Abstract: | Hsp90 proteins are essential molecular chaperones regulating multiple cellular processes in distinct subcellular organelles. In this study, we report the functional characterization of a cDNA encoding endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident Hsp90 from orchardgrass (DgHsp90). DgHsp90 is a 2742 bp cDNA with an open reading frame predicted to encode an 808 amino acid protein. DgHsp90 has a well conserved N-terminal ATPase domain and a C-terminal Hsp90 domain and ER-retention motif. Expression of DgHsp90 increased during heat stress at 35 °C or H2O2 treatment. DgHsp90 also functions as a chaperone protein by preventing thermal aggregation of malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) and citrate synthase (EC 2.3.3.1). The intrinsic ATPase activity of DgHsp90 was inhibited by geldanamycin, an Hsp90 inhibitor, and the inhibition reduced the chaperone activity of DgHsp90. Yeast cells overexpressing DgHsp90 exhibited enhanced thermotolerance. |
