Abstract
S100 proteins are a subfamily of the EF-hand type calcium sensing proteins, the exact biological functions of which have not been clarified yet. In this work, we have identified Cyclophilin 40 (CyP40) and FKBP52 (called immunophilins) as novel targets of S100 proteins. These immunophilins contain a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain for Hsp90 binding. Using glutathione-S transferase pull-down assays and immunoprecipitation, we have demonstrated that S100A1 and S100A2 specifically interact with the TPR domains of FKBP52 and CyP40 in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, and lead to inhibition of the CyP40-Hsp90 and FKBP52-Hsp90 interactions. These findings have suggested that the Ca(2+)/S100 proteins are TPR-targeting regulators of the immunophilins-Hsp90 complex formations.

Control of Alzheimer's amyloid beta toxicity by the high molecular weight immunophilin FKBP52 and copper homeostasis in Drosophila. PLoS One 2010; 5:e8626.

Abstract
FK506 binding proteins (FKBPs), also called immunophilins, are prolyl-isomerases (PPIases) that participate in a wide variety of cellular functions including hormone signaling and protein folding. Recent studies indicate that proteins that contain PPIase activity can also alter the processing of Alzheimer's Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). Originally identified in hematopoietic cells, FKBP52 is much more abundantly expressed in neurons, including the hippocampus, frontal cortex, and basal ganglia. Given the fact that the high molecular weight immunophilin FKBP52 is highly expressed in CNS regions susceptible to Alzheimer's, we investigated its role in Aβ toxicity. Towards this goal, we generated Aβ transgenic Drosophila that harbor gain of function or loss of function mutations of FKBP52. FKBP52 overexpression reduced the toxicity of Aβ and increased lifespan in Aβ flies, whereas loss of function of FKBP52 exacerbated these Aβ phenotypes. Interestingly, the Aβ pathology was enhanced by mutations in the copper transporters Atox1, which interacts with FKBP52, and Ctr1A and was suppressed in FKBP52 mutant flies raised on a copper chelator diet. Using mammalian cultures, we show that FKBP52 (−/−) cells have increased intracellular copper and higher levels of Aβ. This effect is reversed by reconstitution of FKBP52. Finally, we also found that FKBP52 formed stable complexes with APP through its FK506 interacting domain. Taken together, these studies identify a novel role for FKBP52 in modulating toxicity of Aβ peptides.

Abstract
The FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) are a class of peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase enzymes, some of which can also operate as molecular chaperones. FKBPs comprise a large ubiquitous family, found in virtually every part of the cell and involved in diverse processes from protein folding to stress response. Higher plant genomes typically encode about 20 FKBPs, half of these found in the chloroplast thylakoid lumen. Several FKBPs in plants are regulators of hormone signalling pathways, with important roles in seed germination, plant growth and stress response. Some FKBP isoforms exists as homologous duplicates operating in finely tuned mechanisms to cope with abiotic stress. In order to understand the roles of the plant FKBPs, especially in view of the warming environment, we have identified and analysed the gene families encoding these proteins in rice using computational approaches. The work has led to identification of all FKBPs from the rice genome, including novel high molecular weight forms. The rice FKBP family appears to have evolved by duplications of FKBP genes, which may be a strategy for increased stress tolerance.

Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that the subcellular localization of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is regulated by tetratricopeptide domain (TPR) proteins. The high-molecular-weight immunophilin (IMM) FKBP52 links the MR-hsp90 complex to dynein/dynactin motors favoring the cytoplasmic transport of MR to the nucleus. Replacement of this hsp90-binding IMM by FKBP51 or the TPR peptide favored the cytoplasmic localization of MR. The complete movement machinery, including dynein and tubulin, could be recovered from paclitaxel/GTP-stabilized cytosol and was fully reassembled on stripped MR immune pellets. The whole MR-hsp90-based heterocomplex was transiently recovered in the soluble fraction of the nucleus after 10 min of incubation with aldosterone. Moreover, cross-linked MR-hsp90 heterocomplexes accumulated in the nucleus in a hormone-dependent manner, demonstrating that the heterocomplex can pass undissociated through the nuclear pore. On the other hand, a peptide that comprises the DNA-binding domain of MR impaired the nuclear export of MR, suggesting the involvement of this domain in the process. This study represents the first report describing the entire molecular system that commands MR nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and proposes that the MR-hsp90-TPR protein heterocomplex is dissociated in the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm.

Abstract
Steroid hormone receptors (SHRs) are notorious intracellular travellers, transiting among different cellular compartments as they mature, are subjected to regulation and exert their biological functions. Understanding the processes governing the intracellular traffic of SHRs is important, since their unbalanced or erroneous localization could lead to the development of diseases. In this review, we not only explore the functions of the heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) molecular chaperone machine for the intracellular transport of SHRs, but also for the regulation of their nuclear mobility, for their recycling and for the regulation of their transcriptional output.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is cytoplasmic in the absence of ligand and localizes to the nucleus after steroid binding. Previous evidence demonstrated that the hsp90-based heterocomplex bound to GR is required for the efficient retrotransport of the receptor to the nuclear compartment. We examined the putative association of GR and its associated chaperone heterocomplex with structures of the nuclear pore. We found that importin beta and the integral nuclear pore glycoprotein Nup62 interact with hsp90, hsp70, p23, and the TPR domain proteins FKBP52 and PP5. Nup62 and GR were able to interact in a more efficient manner when chaperoned by the hsp90-based heterocomplex. Interestingly, the binding of hsp70 and p23 to Nup62 does not require the presence of hsp90, whereas the association of FKBP52 and PP5 is hsp90 dependent, as indicated by the results of experiments where the hsp90 function was disrupted with radicicol. The ability of both FKBP52 and PP5 to interact with Nup62 was abrogated in cells overexpressing the TPR peptide. Importantly, GR cross-linked to the hsp90 heterocomplex was able to translocate to the nucleus in digitonin-permeabilized cells treated with steroid, suggesting that GR could pass through the pore in its untransformed state.

Abstract
FKBP52 is a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein with peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity and is found in steroid receptor complexes, including glucocorticoid receptor (GR). It is generally accepted that FKBP52 has a stimulatory effect on GR transcriptional activity. However, the mechanism by which FKBP52 controls GR is not yet clear, with reports showing effects on GR hormone-binding affinity and/or hormone-induced nuclear translocation. To address this issue, we have generated mice with targeted ablation of the FKBP52 gene. To date, no overt defects of GR-regulated physiology have been found in these animals, demonstrating that FKBP52 is not an essential regulator of global GR activity. To better assess the impact of FKBP52 on GR, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were generated from wild-type (WT) and FKBP52-deficient (KO) animals. Analysis of GR activity at reporter genes showed an approximate 70% reduction of activity in 52KO MEF cells, with no effect of FKBP52 loss on thyroid receptor. Interestingly, GR activity at endogenous genes was not globally affected in 52KO cells, with reduced activity at GILZ and FKBP51, but not at SGK and p21. Thus, FKBP52 appears to be a gene-specific modulator of GR. To investigate the mechanism of this action, analyses of GR heterocomplex composition, hormone-binding affinity, and ability to undergo hormone-induced nuclear translocation and DNA-binding were performed. Interestingly, no effect of FKBP52 loss was found for any of these GR properties, suggesting that the main function of FKBP52 is a heretofore-unknown ability to control GR activity at target genes. Lastly, loss of FKBP52 did not affect the ability of GR to undergo hormone-induced autologous down-regulation, showing that FKBP52 does not contribute to all branches of GR signaling. The implications of these results to the potential actions of FKBP52 on GR activity in vivo are discussed.

Abstract
FKBP-like (FKBPL) protein is a novel immunophilin-like protein that plays a role in the cellular stress response. Its three tetratricopeptide repeat motifs are homologous to the heat shock protein 90 interaction sites of other immunophilins that have roles in steroid hormone receptor signaling. In this study, using biomolecular complementation and coimmunoprecipitation techniques, we show that FKBPL also colocalizes and interacts with the components of the heat shock protein 90-glucocorticoid receptor (GR) complex and demonstrate that the PPIase domain of FKBPL is important for the interaction between this complex and the dynein motor protein, dynamitin. Treatment of DU145 cells with the GR ligand, dexamethasone, induced a rapid and coordinated translocation of both GR and FKBPL to the nucleus; this response was perturbed when FKBPL was knocked down with a targeted small interfering RNA. Furthermore, overexpression of FKBPL increased GR protein levels and transactivation of a luciferase reporter gene in response to dexamethasone in DU145 cells. However, these responses were cell line dependent. In summary, these data suggest that FKBPL can be classed as a new member of the FKBP protein family with a role in steroid receptor complexes and signaling.

Abstract
The TPR proteins FKBP52, FKBP51, Cyp40, and PP5 are found in steroid receptor (SR) complexes, but their receptor-specific preferences and roles remain unresolved. We have undertaken a systematic approach to this problem by examining the contribution of all four TPRs to the localization properties of glucocorticoid (GR) and progesterone (PR) receptors. The GR of L929 cells was found in the cytoplasm in a complex containing PP5 and FKBP51, while the GR of WCL2 cells was nuclear and contained PP5 and FKBP52. Cyp40 did not interact with the GR in either cell line. To test whether FKBP interaction determined localization, we overexpressed Flag-tagged FKBP51 in WCL2 cells and Flag-FKBP52 in L929 cells. In WCL2 cells, the GR exhibited a shift to greater cytoplasmic localization that correlated with recruitment of Flag-FKBP51. In contrast, Flag-FKBP52 was not recruited to the GR of L929 cells, and no change in localization was observed, suggesting that both cell-type-specific mechanisms and TPR abundance contribute to the SR-TPR interaction. As a further test, GR-GFP and PR-GFP constructs were expressed in COS cells. The GR-GFP construct localized to the cytoplasm, while the PR-GFP construct was predominantly nuclear. Similar to L929 cells, the GR in COS interacted with PP5 and FKBP51, while PR interacted with FKBP52. Analysis of GR-PR chimeric constructs revealed that the ligand-binding domain of each receptor determines both TPR specificity and localization. Lastly, we analyzed GR and PR localization in cells completely lacking TPR. PR in FKBP52 KO cells showed a complete shift to the cytoplasm, while GR in FKBP51 KO and PP5 KO cells showed a moderate shift to the nucleus, indicating that both TPRs contribute to GR localization. Our results demonstrate that SRs have distinct preferences for TPR proteins, a property that resides in the LBD and which can now explain long-standing differences in receptor subcellular localization.

Abstract
PURPOSE A spliced variant of the human glucocorticoid receptor GRbeta has been implicated in glucocorticoid responsiveness in glaucoma. Over-expression of the FK506-binding immunophilin FKBP51 also causes a generalized state of glucocorticoid resistance. In the present study, the roles of FKBP51 in the nuclear transport of GRbeta and glucocorticoid responsiveness were investigated. METHODS Human trabecular meshwork cells (GTM3 and TM5) and HeLa cells were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) and FK506 and transfected with GRbeta and FKBP51 expression vectors. Coimmunoprecipitation and Western blot analyses were performed to study interactions of FKBP51 and FKBP52 with GRalpha, GRbeta, Hsp90, or dynein. The cells were transfected with a GRE-luciferase reporter to evaluate the effects of DEX and FK506 and the overexpression of GRbeta and FKBP51 on glucocorticoid-mediated gene expression. RESULTS FKBP51 was involved in constitutive nuclear transport of both GRalpha and -beta in the absence of ligands. FKBP52 appeared to be solely responsible for the nuclear transport of ligand-activated GRalpha. DEX stimulated the translocation of GRalpha but not GRbeta. Overexpression of either GRbeta or FKBP51 stimulated GRbeta translocation and reduced DEX-induced luciferase in HeLa cells. FK506 did not alter DEX-induced translocation of GRalpha. However, FK506 increased the association of FKBP51 with GRbeta and stimulated DEX-induced translocation of GRbeta in normal TM cells, but not in glaucoma TM cells. Increased nuclear GRbeta significantly inhibited glucocorticoid responsiveness in TM cells. CONCLUSIONS Nuclear transport of GRbeta represents a novel mechanism through which FKBP51 alters GC sensitivity. GRbeta and FKBP51 may be responsible for increased responsiveness in steroid-induced ocular hypertensive individuals as well as in patients with glaucoma.

Abstract
Although the androgen receptor (AR) is accepted as the major determinant of prostate cancer cell survival throughout disease progression, it is currently unclear how the receptor sustains genomic signaling under conditions of systemic androgen ablation. Here, we show that the evolutionarily conserved Hsp70/Hsp90 cochaperone, small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat containing protein alpha (alphaSGT), interacts with the hinge region of the human AR in yeast and mammalian cells. Overexpression and RNA interference revealed that alphaSGT acts to (a) promote cytoplasmic compartmentalization of the AR, thereby silencing the receptors basal/ligand-independent transcriptional activity, (b) regulate the sensitivity of receptor signaling by androgens, and (c) limit the capacity of noncanonical ligands to induce AR agonist activity. Immunofluorescence, coactivator, and chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses strongly suggest that these effects of alphaSGT on AR function are mediated by interaction in the cytoplasm and are distinct from the receptors response to classic coregulators. Quantitative immunohistochemical analysis of alphaSGT and AR levels in a cohort of 32 primary and 64 metastatic human prostate cancers revealed dysregulation in the level of both proteins during disease progression. The significantly higher AR/alphaSGT ratio in metastatic samples is consistent with the sensitization of prostate tumor cells to androgen signaling with disease progression, particularly in a low-hormone environment. These findings implicate alphaSGT as a molecular rheostat of in vivo signaling competence by the AR, and provide new insight into the determinants of androgen sensitivity during prostate cancer progression.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid action in cells is mediated by a specific receptor protein, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). GR is a member of a superfamily of ligand-inducible transcription factors that control a variety of physiological functions; such as, metabolism, development, and reproduction. Unliganded GR is predominantly localized within the cytoplasm but rapidly and efficiently translocates to the nucleus following hormone binding. This review will focus on the intracellular signaling pathway utilized by the GR including the mechanisms that control its intracellular trafficking, hormone binding and transcriptional regulation. Many receptor-interacting proteins are involved in distinct steps in GR signal transduction, each with a unique mechanism to regulate receptor action and providing potential drug targets for the manipulation of cellular responses to glucocorticoids.

Abstract
The FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) is a pro-apoptotic regulator of Bcl-2 in neuroblastoma cells. Hsp90 inhibits the pro-apoptotic FKBP38/CaM/Ca(2+) complex and thus prevents interactions between FKBP38 and Bcl-2. Here we show that Hsp90 increases cell survival rates of neuroblastoma cells after apoptosis induction. Depletion of FKBP38 by short interference RNA significantly decreased the anti-apoptotic effect of Hsp90 expression. In addition, the influence of high cellular Hsp90 levels was only observed in post-stimulation apoptosis that is sensitive to selective FKBP38 active site inhibition. Similar anti-apoptotic effects in neuroblastoma cells were observed after stimulation of endogenous Hsp90 expression. Hence, the inhibition of FKBP38 by Hsp90 participates in programmed cell death control of neuroblastoma cells.

The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) forms oligomers with the heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) -based heterocomplex, which contains tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain immunophilins (IMMs). Here we investigated the unknown biological role of IMMs in the MR.Hsp90 complex. Upon hormone binding, FKBP52 was greatly recruited to MR.Hsp90 complexes along with dynein motors, whereas FKBP51 was dissociated. Importantly, the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin impaired the retrograde transport of MR, suggesting that the Hsp90.IMM.dynein molecular machinery is required for MR movement. To elucidate the mechanism of action of MR, the synthetic ligand 11,19-oxidoprogesterone was used as a tool. This steroid showed equivalent agonistic potency to natural agonists and was able to potentiate their mineralocorticoid action. Importantly, aldosterone binding recruited greater amounts of FKBP52 and dynein than 11,19-oxidoprogesterone binding to MR. Interestingly, 11,19-oxidoprogesterone binding also favored the selective recruitment of the IMM-like Ser/Thr phosphatase PP5. Each hormone/MR complex yielded different proteolytic peptide patterns, suggesting that MR acquires different conformations upon steroid binding. Also, hormone/MR complexes showed different nuclear translocation rates and subnuclear redistribution. All these observations may be related to the selective swapping of associated factors. We conclude that (a) the Hsp90.FKBP52.dyenin complex may be responsible for the retrotransport of MR; (b) a differential recruitment of TPR proteins such as FKBP51, FKBP52, and PP5 takes place during the early steps of hormone-dependent activation of the receptor; (c) importantly, this swapping of TPR proteins depends on the nature of the ligand; and (d) inasmuch as FKBP51 also showed an inhibitory effect on MR-dependent transcription, it should be dissociated from the MR.Hsp90 complex to positively regulate the mineralocorticoid effect.

Abstract
Hormone-dependent transactivation by several of the steroid hormone receptors is potentiated by the Hsp90-associated cochaperone FKBP52, although not by the closely related FKBP51. Here we analyze the mechanisms of potentiation and the functional differences between FKBP51 and FKBP52. While both have peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity, this is not required for potentiation, as mutations abolishing isomerase activity did not affect potentiation. Genetic selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for gain of potentiation activity in a library of randomly mutated FKBP51 genes identified a single residue at position 119 in the N-terminal FK1 domain as being a critical difference between these two proteins. In both the yeast model and mammalian cells, the FKBP51 mutation L119P, which is located in a hairpin loop overhanging the catalytic pocket and introduces the proline found in FKBP52, conferred significant potentiation activity, whereas the converse P119L mutation in FKBP52 decreased potentiation. A second residue in this loop, A116, also influences potentiation levels; in fact, the FKBP51-A116V L119P double mutant potentiated hormone signaling as well as wild-type FKBP52 did. These results suggest that the FK1 domain, and in particular the loop overhanging the catalytic pocket, is critically involved in receptor interactions and receptor activity.

Abstract
FKBP52 is a member of the FK506-binding family of immunophilins and serves as a co-chaperone for steroid hormone nuclear receptors to govern appropriate hormone action in target tissues. Male mice missing Fkbp52 are infertile, and this infertility has been ascribed to compromised sensitivity of the anterior prostate, external genitalia, and other accessory sex organs to androgen. Here, we show additional defects contributing to infertility. We found that epididymal Fkbp52(-/-) sperm are sparse often with aberrant morphology, and they have reduced fertilizing capacity. This phenotype, initially observed in null males on a C57BL/6/129 background, is also maintained on a CD1 background. Expression studies show that while FKBP52 and androgen receptor are co-expressed in similar cell types in the epididymis, FKBP52 is also present in epididymal sperm flagella. Collectively, our results suggest that reduced number and abnormal morphology contribute to compromised fertilizing capacity of Fkbp52(-/-) sperm. This study is clinically relevant because unraveling the role of immunophilin signaling in male fertility will help identify new targets for male contraceptives and/or alleviate male infertility.

Arch Biochem Biophys 2007; 465:452-60. [PMID: 17655821 PMCID: PMC3074928 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2007.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2007] [Revised: 06/24/2007] [Accepted: 06/25/2007] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
In order to understand gene regulation by glucocorticoids, it is pivotal to know how the major transactivation domain AF1 of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) functions. Located in the N-terminal region of the GR, AF1 is quantitatively important for transcriptional regulation, but only in recent years have we begun to understand how AF1 works. This is in part due to the fact that the recombinant AF1 (rAF1) peptide exists as a random ensemble of conformers. Algorithms that predict structure support the view that AF1 is also not well ordered in the holo-GR, and the properties of the amino acids in AF1 suggest that it is intrinsically disordered. However, it is generally believed that intrinsically disordered sequences of the GR AF1 must achieve one or more ordered conformation(s) to carry out transactivation activity. Based on our previous published work and available literature, we hypothesize that a confluence of effects that operate under physiological conditions cause functionally active conformation(s) to form in AF1. We have shown that when rAF1 is incubated in increasing concentrations of a naturally occurring osmolyte trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO), the peptide folds into functionally active conformation(s) that selectively binds several critical coregulatory proteins. Because cells contain various organic osmolytes whose effects may be cumulative, and in light of cell-specific effects of GR AF1 action, we tested whether it can be folded by other natural organic osmolytes representative of three classes: certain amino acids (proline), methylamines (sarcosine), and polyols (sorbitol). The osmolyte-induced folding of rAF1 shows greatly increased affinity for specific binding proteins, including TATA box-binding protein (TBP), CREB-binding protein (CBP), and steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1). Consistent with theory and published data with other proteins, our results show that different osmolytes have differential effects on rAF1 folding. The cell-specific functions of the GR AF1--and by extension the AF1s of other nuclear hormone receptors--may in part be affected by the presence and concentrations of particular osmolytes within a particular cellular environment.

Abstract
The glucocorticoid receptor is a known regulator of a variety of physiological processes. Its mode of action is well defined: upon hormone binding, it undergoes a conformational change, translocates to the nucleus and modulates the transcription of target genes. Molecular chaperones have a widely recognized role in the folding of newly made proteins, but their participation in further maturation of folded proteins to their active states and beyond tends to be underestimated. This review presents the current knowledge on how the Hsp70 and Hsp90 chaperone machines help to shape the responses to glucocorticoids. We discuss the contributions of these molecular chaperones to folding, activation, intracellular transport, transcriptional regulation, and decay of the glucocorticoid receptor.

Abstract
The Long QT Syndrome is a cardiac disorder associated with ventricular arrhythmias that can lead to syncope and sudden death. One prominent form of the Long QT syndrome has been linked to mutations in the HERG gene (KCNH2) that encodes the voltage-dependent delayed rectifier potassium channel (I(Kr)). In order to search for HERG-interacting proteins important for HERG maturation and trafficking, we conducted a proteomics screen using myc-tagged HERG transfected into cardiac (HL-1) and non-cardiac (human embryonic kidney 293) cell lines. A partial list of putative HERG-interacting proteins includes several known components of the cytosolic chaperone system, including Hsc70 (70-kDa heat shock cognate protein), Hsp90 (90-kDa heat shock protein), Hdj-2, Hop (Hsp-organizing protein), and Bag-2 (BCL-associated athanogene 2). In addition, two membrane-integrated proteins were identified, calnexin and FKBP38 (38-kDa FK506-binding protein, FKBP8). We show that FKBP38 immunoprecipitates and co-localizes with HERG in our cellular system. Importantly, small interfering RNA knock down of FKBP38 causes a reduction of HERG trafficking, and overexpression of FKBP38 is able to partially rescue the LQT2 trafficking mutant F805C. We propose that FKBP38 is a co-chaperone of HERG and contributes via the Hsc70/Hsp90 chaperone system to the trafficking of wild type and mutant HERG potassium channels.

Abstract
FKBP38 is a negative effector of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein in neuroblastoma cells. The interaction with Bcl-2 and the enzyme activity of FKBP38 depend on prior binding of calmodulin-Ca(2+) (CaM-Ca(2+)) at high Ca(2+) concentrations. The FKBP38 protein structure contains three tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs corresponding to the Hsp90 interaction sites of other immunophilins. In this study we show that the TPR domain of FKBP38 interacts with the C-terminal domain of Hsp90, but only if the FKBP38-CaM-Ca(2+) complex is preformed. Hence, FKBP38 is the first example of a TPR-containing immunophilin that interacts cofactor-dependently with Hsp90. In the ternary Hsp90-FKBP38-CaM-Ca(2+) complex the active site of FKBP38 is blocked, thus preventing interactions with Bcl-2. The dual control of the active site cleft of FKBP38 by CaM-Ca(2+) and Hsp90 highlights the importance of the enzyme activity of the FKBP38-CaM-Ca(2+) complex in the regulation of programmed cell death.

Abstract
In the absence of hormone, corticosteroid receptors are primarily located in the cytoplasm, and they rapidly accumulate in the nucleus (t0.5 = 5 min) upon ligand binding. It is generally believed that the dissociation of hsp90 from the receptor is an absolute requirement for allowing its nuclear translocation. However, recent evidence suggests that hsp90 may remain associated with the glucocorticoid receptor during this process, and thus, the receptor nuclear localization signal (NLS) is not obscured by its presence. To determine the requirements for mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) nuclear transport, it was first shown that in rat kidney collecting duct cells, nuclear localization of MR in the presence of aldosterone was complete in 10 min. Although the hsp90 inhibitor radicicol delayed nuclear translocation, it did not prevent complete nuclear accumulation of MR at longer incubation times (t0.5 = 30-40 min). MR carbamylation generates a non-steroid-transformed receptor that, in contrast to native MR, is very stable in cell-free systems. In contrast to the full nuclear translocation of aldosterone-transformed MR, only a fraction of the carbamylated MR became nuclear in digitonin-permeabilized cells even though its NLS is exposed. Furthermore, while preincubation of permeabilized cells with NL1 peptide or anti-NL1 antibody fully inhibited the nuclear translocation of NL1-tagged albumin, neither treatment fully inhibited MR nuclear translocation. We postulate that there are at least two possible mechanisms for MR nuclear translocation. One of them is hsp90- and NL1-dependent, and the other functions in a manner that is independent of the classical pathway.

Abstract
HIV infection results in a neurodegenerative disorder for which currently there is no effective therapy available. Currently, available antiretroviral therapy has no impact on the production of early regulatory HIV proteins once the virus is integrated. Of these proteins, Tat was shown to be toxic to neurons. We, thus, used an in vitro neuronal culture system to determine if immunophilin ligands could protect against Tat-induced neurotoxicity. We found that GPI 1046 had potent neuroprotective effects in this model. The compound was able to protect the neurons even though it only partially obliterated Tat-induced oxidative stress in neurons, suggesting that other mechanisms may be important in mediating its neuroprotective effect. Furthermore, GPI 1046 showed inhibition of HIV replication and Tat-mediated long terminal repeat (LTR) activation suggesting that this class of compounds may be worthy of further exploration as a potential treatment for HIV dementia.

Abstract
Glucocorticoids exert their effects in target tissues predominantly through their interaction with the glucocorticoid receptor, a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors. Over the years many studies have linked hormone responsiveness, both in vitro and in vivo, to the levels of both glucocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptor; furthermore, an impact of glucocorticoid receptor subcellular trafficking on hormone response has been revealed. This review will focus on the molecular mechanisms responsible for the regulation of glucocorticoid receptor trafficking and expression, and will highlight work that revealed selective physiological effects of altered glucocorticoid receptor expression. The role of alterations in glucocorticoid levels and glucocorticoid receptor function in the metabolic syndrome will also be discussed.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) is a component of viral replicase and is well known to modulate the functions of several host proteins. Here, we show that NS5A specifically interacts with FKBP8, a member of the FK506-binding protein family, but not with other homologous immunophilins. Three sets of tetratricopeptide repeats in FKBP8 are responsible for interactions with NS5A. The siRNA-mediated knockdown of FKBP8 in a human hepatoma cell line harboring an HCV RNA replicon suppressed HCV RNA replication, and this reduction was reversed by the expression of an siRNA-resistant FKBP8 mutant. Furthermore, immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that FKBP8 forms a complex with Hsp90 and NS5A. Treatment of HCV replicon cells with geldanamycin, an inhibitor of Hsp90, suppressed RNA replication in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that the complex consisting of NS5A, FKBP8, and Hsp90 plays an important role in HCV RNA replication.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5) channel determines urinary Ca(2+) excretion, and is therefore critical for Ca(2+) homeostasis. Interestingly, mice lacking the serine protease tissue kallikrein (TK) exhibit robust hypercalciuria comparable to the Ca(2+) leak in TRPV5 knockout mice. Here, we delineated the molecular mechanism through which TK stimulates Ca(2+) reabsorption. Using TRPV5-expressing primary cultures of renal Ca(2+)-transporting epithelial cells, we showed that TK activates Ca(2+) reabsorption. The stimulatory effect of TK was mimicked by bradykinin (BK) and could be reversed by application of JE049, a BK receptor type 2 antagonist. A cell permeable analog of DAG increased TRPV5 activity within 30 min via protein kinase C activation of the channel since mutation of TRPV5 at the putative PKC phosphorylation sites S299 and S654 prevented the stimulatory effect of TK. Cell surface labeling revealed that TK enhances the amount of wild-type TRPV5 channels, but not of the TRPV5 S299A and S654A mutants, at the plasma membrane by delaying its retrieval. In conclusion, TK stimulates Ca(2+) reabsorption via the BK-activated PLC/DAG/PKC pathway and the subsequent stabilization of the TRPV5 channel at the plasma membrane.

Abstract
FKBP42 is a membrane-anchored immunophilin playing a critical role in morphogenesis and development of higher plants. We present the X-ray structure of the cytoplasmic portion of FKBP42 comprising both the FKBP-like domain and the TPR domain at 2.85 A resolution. The data shed light on the probable binding modes of key interaction partners, including HSP90 and two classes of ABC transporters. The resulting models provide a structural background for further investigation of the unique biological properties of this protein.

Abstract
PASTICCINO1 (PAS1) is a high molecular weight FK506-binding protein (FKBP) involved in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation during plant development. Mutations in the C-terminal region of PAS1 result in severe developmental defects. We show here that the C-terminal domain of PAS1 controls the subcellular distribution of this protein. We also demonstrated in vitro and in vivo, by Forster resonance energy transfer, that this C-terminal region is required for interaction with FAN (FKBP-associated NAC), a new member of the plant-specific family of NAC transcription factors. PAS1 and FAN are translocated into the nucleus upon auxin treatment in plant seedlings. The nuclear translocation of PAS1 is dependent on the presence of the C terminus of the protein. Finally, we showed that FAN is involved in PAS1-regulated processes because FAN overproduction partly complemented the pas1 phenotype. We suggest that PAS1 regulates the function of this NAC-like transcription factor by controlling its targeting to the nucleus upon plant cell division.

Abstract
FK506-binding protein 52 (FKBP52) is a tetratricopeptide repeat protein that associates with steroid receptors in complexes containing heat shock protein 90. To investigate the role of FKBP52 in steroid-regulated physiology, we generated FKBP52-deficient mice. FKBP52 (-/-) females are sterile due to a complete failure of implantation, a process that requires estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR). Because the uterus expresses two forms of PR, PR-A and PR-B, we investigated all three receptors as potential targets of FKBP52 action. FKBP52 (-/-) uteri showed a normal growth response to estradiol, and unaltered expression of genes controlled by ER and PR-B. In contrast, FKBP52 (-/-) uteri were neither able to express two PR-A-regulated genes, nor undergo decidualization in response to progesterone, suggesting that FKBP52 specifically regulates PR-A at this organ. Analysis of uterine PR heterocomplexes showed preferential association of FKBP52 with PR-A compared with PR-B. Loss of FKBP52 neither disrupted the PR-A/heat shock protein 90 interaction, nor impaired uterine PR-A hormone-binding function, demonstrating the essential role of FKBP52 in PR-A action to be downstream of the hormone-binding event. Transcription studies in +/+ and -/- mouse embryonic fibroblast cells showed a near-complete loss of PR-A activity at mouse mammary tumor virus and synthetic progesterone response element promoters, although partial reductions of ER and PR-B were also observed. Partial disruptions of ovulation and mammary development were also found in FKBP52 (-/-) females. Taken as a whole, our results show FKBP52 to be an essential regulator of PR-A action in the uterus, while being a nonessential but contributory regulator of steroid receptors in the mammary and ovary. These data may now provide the basis for selective targeting of steroid-regulated physiology through tetratricopeptide repeat proteins.

Abstract
In the kidney, the epithelial Ca2+channel TRPV5 constitutes the apical entry pathway in the process of active Ca2+reabsorption. The regulation of Ca2+influx through TRPV5 is of crucial importance, because it determines the final amount of Ca2+excreted in the urine. The present study identifies FKBP52 as an auxiliary protein of TRPV5, inhibiting channel activity. FKBP52 shows specific interaction with TRPV5, and both proteins colocalize in the distal part of the nephron. On the functional level, FKBP52 decreases Ca2+influx through TRPV5 as demonstrated in radioactive45Ca2+uptake measurements and electrophysiological studies in TRPV5-overexpressing human embryonic kidney 293 cells. On the other hand, gene silencing of FKBP52 or administration of the FKBP52 blocker FK-506 enhances Ca2+influx through TRPV5. The inhibitory action of FKBP52 on TRPV5 activity is blunted by mutation of its peptidyl-propyl cis- trans isomerase domain, showing that the FKBP52 catalytic property is critical for channel activity. In conclusion, these results suggest that FKBP52 plays an important role in the regulation of TRPV5 and thus in the process of Ca2+reabsorption.

Abstract
In the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) endocytic pathway, internalized receptors pass through early, recycling, and sorting endosomal compartments before returning to the cell surface. Sorting motifs in the cytoplasmic domain (CD) and protein interactions with these sequences presumably direct receptor trafficking. Previous studies have shown that association of a potential sorting heat shock protein (HSP) heterocomplex with the ASGPR-CD was regulated by casein kinase 2 (CK2)-mediated phosphorylation. Mass spectrometry and immunoblot analyses identified five of these ASGPR-CD-associated proteins as the molecular chaperones glycoprotein 96, HSP70, HSP90, cyclophilin A, and FK 506 binding protein. The present study was undertaken to determine whether any of the adaptor protein complexes (AP1, AP2, or AP3) were selectivity associated with the ASGPR-CD. In conjunction with molecular chaperones, AP2 and AP1 were recovered from a CK2 phosphorylated agarose-GSH-GST-ASGPR-CD matrix. Binding of AP3 was independent of the phosphorylation status of the CD matrix. Inhibition of CK2-mediated phosphorylation with tetrabromobenzotriazole prevented AP recovery within an immunoadsorbed ASGPR complex. Rapamycin, which dissociates the HSP heterocomplex from ASGPR-CD, thereby altering receptor trafficking also, inhibited AP association. Similar results were obtained with an inhibitor of HSP90 heterocomplex formation, geldanmycin. The data presented provide evidence that recruitment of AP1 and AP2, which is necessary for appropriate receptor trafficking, is mediated by the interaction of AP with the ASGPR-CD-bound HSP complex.

Abstract
A multiprotein hsp90/hsp70-based chaperone machinery functions as a 'cradle-to-grave' system for regulating the steroid binding, trafficking and turnover of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). In an ATP-dependent process where hsp70 and hsp90 act as essential chaperones and Hop, hsp40, and p23 act as nonessential co-chaperones, the machinery assembles complexes between the ligand binding domain of the GR and hsp90. During GR-hsp90 heterocomplex assembly, the hydrophobic ligand-binding cleft is opened to access by steroid, and subsequent binding of steroid within the cleft triggers a transformation of the receptor such that it engages in more dynamic cycles of assembly/disassembly with hsp90 that are required for rapid dynein-dependent translocation to the nucleus. Within the nucleus, the hsp90 chaperone machinery plays a critical role both in GR movement to transcription regulatory sites and in the disassembly of regulatory complexes as the hormone level declines. The chaperone machinery also plays a critical role in stabilization of the GR to ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. The initial GR interaction with hsp70 appears to be critical for the triage between hsp90 heterocomplex assembly and preservation of receptor function vs CHIP-dependent ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. The hsp90 chaperone machinery is ubiquitous and functionally conserved among eukaryotes, and it is possible that all physiologically significant actions of hsp90 require the hsp70-dependent assembly of client protein-hsp90 heterocomplexes.

Abstract
Embryo implantation in the uterus is a critical step in mammalian reproduction, requiring preparation of the uterus receptive to blastocyst implantation. Uterine receptivity, also known as the window of implantation, lasts for a limited period, and it is during this period blastocysts normally implant. Ovarian steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone (P(4)) are the primary regulators of this process. The immunophilin FKBP52 serves as a cochaperone for steroid hormone nuclear receptors to govern appropriate hormone action in target tissues. Here we show a critical role for FKBP52 in mouse implantation. This immunophilin has unique spatiotemporal expression in the uterus during implantation, and females missing the Fkbp52 gene have complete implantation failure due to lack of attainment of uterine receptivity. The overlapping uterine expression of FKBP52 with nuclear progesterone receptor (PR) in wild-type mice together with reduced P(4) binding to PR, attenuated PR transcriptional activity and down-regulation of several P(4)-regulated genes in uteri of Fkbp52(-/-) mice, establishes this cochaperone as a critical regulator of uterine P(4) function. Interestingly, ovulation, another P(4)-mediated event, remains normal. Collectively, the present investigation provides evidence for an in vivo role for this cochaperone in regulating tissue-specific hormone action and its critical role in uterine receptivity for implantation.

Abstract
FKBP-type peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) are folding helper enzymes involved in the control of functional regrowth of damaged sciatic, cortical cholinergic, dopaminergic and 5-HT neurones. Here, we show that the constitutively inactive human FK506-binding protein 38 (FKBP38) is capable of responding directly to intracellular Ca2+ rise through formation of a heterodimeric Ca2+/calmodulin/FKBP38 complex. Only complex formation creates an enzymatically active FKBP, displaying affinity for Bcl-2 mediated through the PPIase site. Association between Bcl-2 and the active site of Ca2+/calmodulin/FKBP38 regulates Bcl-2 function and thereby participates in the promotion of apoptosis in neuronal tissues. FKBP38 proapoptotic function mediated by this interaction is abolished by either potent inhibitors of the PPIase activity of the Ca2+/calmodulin/FKBP38 complex or RNA interference-mediated depletion of FKBP38, promoting neuronal cell survival.

Abstract
The ubiquitous protein chaperone hsp90 has been shown to regulate more than 100 proteins involved in cellular signalling. These proteins are called 'client proteins' for hsp90, and a multiprotein hsp90/hsp70-based chaperone machinery forms client protein.hsp90 heterocomplexes in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. In the case of signalling proteins that act as transcription factors, the client protein.hsp90 complexes also contain one of several TPR domain immunophilins or immunophilin homologs that bind to a TPR domain binding site on hsp90. Using several intracellular receptors and the tumor suppressor p53 as examples, we review evidence that dynamic assembly of heterocomplexes with hsp90 is required for rapid movement through the cytoplasm to the nucleus along microtubular tracks. The role of the immunophilin in this system is to connect the client protein.hsp90 complex to cytoplasmic dynein, the motor protein for retrograde movement toward the nucleus. Upon arrival at the nuclear pores, the receptor.hsp90.immunophilin complexes are transferred to the nuclear interior by importin-dependent facilitated diffusion. The unliganded receptors then distribute within the nucleus to diffuse patches from which they proceed in a ligand-dependent manner to discrete nuclear foci where chromatin binding occurs. We review evidence that dynamic assembly of heterocomplexes with hsp90 is required for movement to these foci and for the dynamic exchange of transcription factors between chromatin and the nucleoplasm.

Abstract
A wide array of proteins in signal transduction pathways depend on Hsp90 and other chaperone components for functional maturation, regulation, and stability. Among these Hsp90 client proteins are steroid receptors, members from other classes of transcription factors, and representatives of both serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase families. Typically, dynamic complexes form on the client protein, and these consist of Hsp90- plus bound co-chaperones that often have enzymatic activities. In addition to its direct influence on client folding, Hsp90 locally concentrates co-chaperone activity within the client complex, and dynamic exchange of co-chaperones on Hsp90 facilitates sampling of co-chaperone activities that may, or may not, act on the client protein. We are just beginning to understand the nature of biochemical and molecular interactions between co-chaperone and Hsp90-bound client. This review focuses on the differential effects of Hsp90 co-chaperones toward client protein function and on the specificity that allows co-chaperones to discriminate between even closely related clients.

Abstract
Many laboratories have documented the existence of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) proteins (also known as immunophilins) in hormone-free steroid receptor complexes. Yet, the distinct roles of these proteins in steroid receptor action are poorly understood. In this work, we have investigated the effects of four TPR proteins (FKBP52, FKBP51, Cyp40, and PP5) on hormone-binding function of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) endogenously expressed in mammalian L929 cells. As a first step, we treated L929 cells with select immunophilin ligands [FK506, rapamycin, cyclosporin A (CsA), and cyclosporin H (CsH)], which are commonly thought to increase the GR response to hormone by inhibiting membrane-based steroid exporters. As expected, all four immunophilin ligands increased both the intracellular concentration of dexamethasone and GR activity at the MMTV-CAT reporter. To determine whether these ligands could target GR function independent of steroid export mechanisms, we performed GR reporter gene assays under conditions of immunophilin ligand and dexamethasone treatment that yielded equal intracellular hormone concentrations. FK506 was found to stimulate GR transactivity beyond the effect of this ligand on hormone retention. In contrast, CsA only affected the GR through upregulation of hormone retention. By Scatchard analysis, FK506 was found to increase GR hormone-binding affinity while decreasing total binding sites for hormone. This result correlated with loss of GR-associated FKBP51 and replacement with PP5. Interestingly, no GR-associated Cyp40 was found in these cells, consistent with the ability of CsA ligand to only affect GR through the hormone export mechanism. To test the role of FKBP52 independent of FK506, FKBP52 was placed under the control of a tetracycline-inducible promoter. Upregulation of FKBP52 caused an increase in both GR hormone-binding affinity and transactivity, even in the absence of FK506. These results show that immunosuppressive ligands can alter GR hormone-binding function by changing the TPR protein composition of receptor complexes and that TPR proteins exert a hierarchical effect on this GR function in the following order: FKBP52 > PP5 > FKBP51.

Abstract
In the last decade, the notion that microtubules are critical to the spatial organization of signal transduction and contribute to the transmission of signals to downstream targets has been proposed. Because the STAT5B transduction and transcription factor is the major STAT protein activated by growth hormone stimulation in hepatocytes and is a crossroads between many signaling pathways, we studied the involvement of microtubules in STAT5B-mediated growth hormone signaling pathway in the highly differentiated and polarized WIF-B hepatic cell line. We showed that depolymerization of the microtubule network impaired STAT5B translocation to the nucleus upon growth hormone treatment. A significant amount of STAT5B binds to microtubules, while STAT5A and STAT3 are exclusively compartmentalized in the cytosol. Moreover, taxol-induced stabilization of microtubules released STAT5B from its binding, and we show that STAT5B binds specifically to the highly dynamic microtubules and is absent of the stable microtubule subpopulation. The specific involvement of dynamic microtubule subpopulation in growth hormone signaling pathway was confirmed by the inhibition of growth hormone-induced STAT5B nuclear translocation after stabilization of microtubules or specific disruption of highly dynamic microtubules. Upon growth hormone treatment, MT-bound STAT5B was rapidly released from microtubules by a dynein-dependent transport to the nucleus. Altogether, our findings indicate that the labile microtubule subpopulation specifically and dynamically organizes STAT5B-mediated growth hormone signaling in hepatic cells.

Abstract
The large molecular-weight immunophilin, FKBP52, is a known target of the immunosuppressive drug FK506. FKBP52 exhibits peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity, which is inhibited by the binding of FK506--properties that it shares with the smaller but better-studied immunophilin, FKBP12. Unlike FKBP12, however, FKBP52 does not mediate the immunosuppressive actions of FK506 and, due to its larger size, contains additional numerous functional domains. One such structure is a series of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains, which serve as binding sites for the ubiquitous and abundant molecular chaperone, Hsp90. It is this property as a TPR protein that best characterizes the known cellular roles of FKBP52. Here, we review the structural features of FKBP52 and relate them to the evolving and diverse functions of this protein. Although the most recognized role of FKBP52 is in regulation of steroid receptor signaling, other less well-known functions are also discussed.

Abstract
Calmodulin CaM is the most prominent Ca2+ transducer in eukaryotic cells, regulating the activity of numerous proteins with diverse cellular functions. Many features of CaM and its downstream targets are similar in plants and other eukaryotes. However, plants possess a unique set of CaM-related proteins, and several unique CaM target proteins. This review discusses recent progress in identifying plant-specific CaM-binding proteins and their roles in response to biotic and abiotic stresses and development. The review also addresses aspects emerging from recent structural studies of CaM interactions with target proteins relevant to plants.

Abstract
We used a cellular system to elucidate the molecular determinants of the large immunophilin FK506-binding proteins (FKBP)51 and -52 for their action on the glucocorticoid receptor in mammalian cells. Increasing the levels of FKBP51 reduced the transcriptional activity of the receptor, as reported. Elevated levels of FKBP52 per se showed no effect but mitigated the inhibition of the receptor induced by FKBP51. We discovered that nuclear translocation of the glucocorticoid receptor was delayed by FKBP51. This correlates with the reduced interaction of FKBP51 with the motor protein dynein compared with FKBP52. From mutational analyses, we concluded that three features of the immunophilins are required for efficient receptor signaling in mammalian cells: hsp90 interaction, dynein association, and peptidylprolyl isomerase (PPIase) enzyme activity. The relevance of dynein for receptor function was substantiated by several experiments: 1) coexpression of dynamitin, which disrupts the transport complex and reduces receptor activity; 2) coexpression of the PPIase domain fragment of FKBP52, which is known to disrupt interaction of the receptor to dynein and reduce glucocorticoid receptor function, in contrast to the corresponding fragment of FKBP51; and 3) swapping of the PPIase domains FKBP51 and FKBP52, which reverses the respective activity. We concluded from our results that the mechanisms of the regulatory system FKBP51/FKBP52 discovered in yeast also operate in mammals to modulate hormone binding of the receptor. In addition, differential regulation of dynein association and nuclear translocation contributes to the effects of the two immunophilins on the glucocorticoid receptor in mammals.

Abstract
Rapid, ligand-dependent movement of glucocorticoid receptors (GR) from cytoplasm to the nucleus is hsp90-dependent, and much of the movement system has been defined. GR.hsp90 heterocomplexes isolated from cells contain one of several hsp90-binding immunophilins that link the complex to cytoplasmic dynein, a molecular motor that processes along microtubular tracks to the nucleus. The immunophilins link to dynein indirectly via the dynamitin component of the dynein-associated dynactin complex (Galigniana, M. D., Harrell, J. M., O'Hagen, H. M., Ljungman, M., and Pratt, W. B. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 22483-22489). Although it is known that rapid, hsp90-dependent GR movement requires intact microtubules, it has not been shown that the movement is dynein-dependent. Here, we show that overexpression of dynamitin, which blocks movement by dissociating the dynein motor from its cargo, inhibits ligand-dependent movement of the GR to the nucleus. We show that native GR.hsp90.immnunophilin complexes contain dynamitin as well as dynein and that GR heterocomplexes isolated from cytosol containing paclitaxel and GTP to stabilize microtubules also contain tubulin. The complete movement system, including the dynein motor complex and tubulin, can be assembled under cell-free conditions by incubating GR immune pellets with paclitaxel/GTP-stabilized cytosol prepared from GR(-) L cells. This is the first evidence that the movement of a steroid receptor is dynein-dependent, and it is the first isolation of a steroid receptor bound to the entire system that determines its retrograde movement.

Abstract
Although cyclophilin A (CyP-A) is a relatively abundant small immunophilin present in the cytoplasm of all mammalian cells, its general function(s) in the absence of the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A is not known. In contrast, the high molecular weight hsp90-binding immunophilins appear to play a role in protein trafficking in that they have been shown to link glucocorticoid receptor-hsp90 and p53.hsp90 complexes to the dynein motor protein for retrograde movement along microtubules. These immunophilins link to cytoplasmic dynein indirectly through the association of the immunophilin peptidylprolyl isomerase (PPIase) domain with dynamitin, a component of the dynein-associated dynactin complex (Galigniana, M. D., Harrell, J. M., O'Hagen, H. M., Ljungman, M., and Pratt, W. B. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 22483-22489). Here, we show that CyP-A exists in native heterocomplexes containing cytoplasmic dynein that can be formed in cell-free systems. Prolyl isomerase activity is not required for forming the dynein complex, but the PPIase domain fragment of FKBP52 blocks complex formation and CyP-A binds to dynamitin in a PPIase domain-dependent manner. CyP-A heterocomplexes containing tubulin and dynein can be formed in cytosol prepared under microtubule-stabilizing conditions, and CyP-A colocalizes in mouse fibroblasts with microtubules. Colocalization with microtubules is disrupted by overexpression of the PPIase domain fragment. Thus, we conclude that CyP-A associates in vitro and in vivo with the dynein/dynactin motor protein complex and we suggest that CyP-A may perform a general function related to the binding of cargo for retrograde movement along microtubules.

Abstract
To further understand the role that the hepatitis B virus X-associated protein 2 (XAP2) plays in regulating aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) function, a point mutation was introduced at tyrosine 408 of the AhR, changing the residue to an alanine or lysine. These mutations resulted in the loss of AhR binding to endogenous XAP2 in COS-1 cells and reduced binding of exogenously expressed XAP2. Cellular localization of the mutant AhR-yellow fluorescent protein fusion proteins remained nuclear when XAP2 was co-expressed, while the non-mutant receptor was redistributed to the cytoplasm. XAP2 expression caused an overall repression of constitutive and ligand-induced AhR transcriptional activity. However, increased expression of XAP2 had no effect on the AhRY408A mutant transcriptional activity. Additionally the XAP2 binding-deficient AhR mutants showed overall higher transcriptional activity when compared with the non-mutant receptor. Interestingly reduced incorporation of the Hsp90 associated co-chaperone p23 in the unliganded AhR complex was observed with increasing XAP2 expression. The displacement of p23 from Hsp90 did not occur when increasing levels of XAP2 were introduced in COS-1 cells in the absence of the AhR; thus this displacement event occurs specifically within an AhR complex. Finally XAP2 itself was capable of existing in multimeric complexes, and these complexes did not require Hsp90 or AhR to form. However, it is not yet clear whether XAP2 can exist within the AhR complex in more than one copy.

Abstract
The mineralocorticoid effect on epithelial cells is the resultant of an intricate net of biochemical regulations that ultimately leads to the maintenance of electrolyte homeostasis. Two key protagonists in this plot are the ligand, which broadcasts the information, and the receptor, which functions as a receiver and transducer. Therefore, the responsibility for the final biological effect is not limited to each individual component but to both of them, so they constitute a functional unit. In addition, several prereceptor regulatory mechanisms are also determinant factors for the final biological response. Because steroids are present in both animals and plants and are derived from common precursors, it is intriguing how these simple molecules have acquired specialization to shape biological development and differentiation. This is particularly true for the function of aldosterone in mammals, which is mimicked by glucocorticoids or progesterone in some particular cases. Inasmuch as the most potent mineralocorticoid in nature, aldosterone, shows a poorly angled steroid nucleus at the A?B-ring junction, and because steroids that possess identical functional groups and different steroidal frames elicit different mineralocorticoid effects, we postulate that a planar conformation of the ligand is a key requirement to acquire potent sodium retention properties. The model takes into consideration all the mechanisms involved in the regulation of the final biological effect, although it does not provide a definitive answer to the original question. It is also discussed how the use of novel mineralocorticoid ligands may shed light on the still obscure mechanism of action of the mineralocorticoid receptor.

Arabidopsis immunophilin-like TWD1 functionally interacts with vacuolar ABC transporters. Mol Biol Cell 2004; 15:3393-405.

Abstract
Previously, the immunophilin-like protein TWD1 from Arabidopsis has been demonstrated to interact with the ABC transporters AtPGP1 and its closest homologue, AtPGP19. Physiological and biochemical investigation of pgp1/pgp19 and of twd1 plants suggested a regulatory role of TWD1 on AtPGP1/AtPGP19 transport activities. To further understand the dramatic pleiotropic phenotype that is caused by loss-of-function mutation of the TWD1 gene, we were interested in other TWD1 interacting proteins. AtMRP1, a multidrug resistance-associated (MRP/ABCC)-like ABC transporter, has been isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen. We demonstrate molecular interaction between TWD1 and ABC transporters AtMRP1 and its closest homologue, AtMRP2. Unlike AtPGP1, AtMRP1 binds to the C-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat domain of TWD1, which is well known to mediate protein-protein interactions. Domain mapping proved that TWD1 binds to a motif of AtMRP1 that resembles calmodulin-binding motifs; and calmodulin binding to the C-terminus of MRP1 was verified. By membrane fractionation and GFP-tagging, we localized AtMRP1 to the central vacuolar membrane and the TWD1-AtMRP1 complex was verified in vivo by coimmunoprecipitation. We were able to demonstrate that TWD1 binds to isolated vacuoles and has a significant impact on the uptake of metolachlor-GS and estradiol-beta-glucuronide, well-known substrates of vacuolar transporters AtMRP1 and AtMRP2.
