Abstract
The heat-shock factor Hsp70 and other molecular chaperones play a central role in nascent protein folding. Elucidating the task performed by individual chaperones within the complex cellular milieu, however, has been challenging. One strategy for addressing this goal has been to monitor protein biogenesis in the absence and presence of inhibitors of a specific chaperone, followed by analysis of folding outcomes under both conditions. In this way, the role of the chaperone of interest can be discerned. However, development of chaperone inhibitors, including well-known proline-rich antimicrobial peptides, has been fraught with undesirable side effects, including decreased protein expression yields. Here, we introduce KLR-70, a rationally designed cationic inhibitor of the Escherichia coli Hsp70 chaperone (also known as DnaK). KLR-70 is a 14-amino acid peptide bearing naturally occurring residues and engineered to interact with the DnaK substrate-binding domain. The interaction of KLR-70 with DnaK is enantioselective and is characterized by high affinity in a buffered solution. Importantly, KLR-70 does not significantly interact with the DnaJ and GroEL/ES chaperones, and it does not alter nascent protein biosynthesis yields across a wide concentration range. Some attenuation of the anti-DnaK activity of KLR-70, however, has been observed in the complex E. coli cell-free environment. Interestingly, the d enantiomer D-KLR-70, unlike its all-L KLR-70 counterpart, does not bind the DnaK and DnaJ chaperones, yet it strongly inhibits translation. This outcome suggests that the two enantiomers (KLR-70 and D-KLR-70) may serve as orthogonal inhibitors of chaperone binding and translation. In summary, KLR-70 is a novel chaperone inhibitor with high affinity and selectivity for bacterial Hsp70 and with considerable potential to help in parsing out the role of Hsp70 in nascent protein folding.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) chaperones play a central role in protein quality control and are crucial for many cellular processes, including protein folding, degradation, and disaggregation. Human HSP70s compose a family of 13 members that carry out their functions with the aid of even larger families of co-chaperones. A delicate interplay between HSP70s and co-chaperone recruitment is thought to determine substrate fate, yet it has been generally assumed that all Hsp70 paralogs have similar activities and are largely functionally redundant. However, here we found that when expressed in human cells, two highly homologous HSP70s, HSPA1A and HSPA1L, have opposing effects on cellular handling of various substrates. For example, HSPA1A reduced aggregation of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-associated protein variant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)-A4V, whereas HSPA1L enhanced its aggregation. Intriguingly, variations in the substrate-binding domain of these HSP70s did not play a role in this difference. Instead, we observed that substrate fate is determined by differential interactions of the HSP70s with co-chaperones. Whereas most co-chaperones bound equally well to these two HSP70s, Hsp70/Hsp90-organizing protein (HOP) preferentially bound to HSPA1L, and the Hsp110 nucleotide-exchange factor HSPH2 preferred HSPA1A. The role of HSPH2 was especially crucial for the HSPA1A-mediated reduction in SOD1-A4V aggregation. These findings reveal a remarkable functional diversity at the level of the cellular HSP70s and indicate that this diversity is defined by their affinities for specific co-chaperones such as HSPH2.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) proteins are a family of ancient and conserved chaperones. Cysteine modifications have been widely detected among different Hsp70 family members in vivo, but their effects on Hsp70 structure and function are unclear. Here, we treated HeLa cells with diamide, which typically induces disulfide bond formation except in the presence of excess GSH, when glutathionylated cysteines predominate. We show that in these cells, HspA1A (hHsp70) undergoes reversible cysteine modifications, including glutathionylation, potentially at all five cysteine residues. In vitro experiments revealed that modification of cysteines in the nucleotide-binding domain of hHsp70 is prevented by nucleotide binding but that Cys-574 and Cys-603, located in the C-terminal α-helical lid of the substrate-binding domain, can undergo glutathionylation in both the presence and absence of nucleotide. We found that glutathionylation of these cysteine residues results in unfolding of the α-helical lid structure. The unfolded region mimics substrate by binding to and blocking the substrate-binding site, thereby promoting intrinsic ATPase activity and competing with binding of external substrates, including heat shock transcription factor 1 (Hsf1). Thus, post-translational modification can alter the structure and regulate the function of hHsp70.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 kDa (Hsp70) plays a central role in maintaining protein homeostasis. It cooperates with cochaperone Hsp40, which stimulates Hsp70 ATPase activity and presents protein substrates to Hsp70 to assist refolding. The mechanism by which Hsp40 regulates the intramolecular and intermolecular changes of Hsp70 is still largely unknown. Here, by bulk and single-molecule FRET, we report the conformational dynamics of Hsp70 and its regulation by Hsp40 as well as the kinetics of the multistep Hsp70–Hsp40 functional cycle. We show that Hsp40 modulates the conformations of ATP-bound Hsp70 to a domain-undocked ATPase-stimulated state, and facilitates the formation of a heterotetrameric Hsp70–Hsp40 complex. Our findings provide insights into the functional mechanism of this core chaperone machinery. Hsp70 is a conserved molecular chaperone that plays an indispensable role in regulating protein folding, translocation, and degradation. The conformational dynamics of Hsp70 and its regulation by cochaperones are vital to its function. Using bulk and single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) techniques, we studied the interdomain conformational distribution of human stress-inducible Hsp70A1 and the kinetics of conformational changes induced by nucleotide and the Hsp40 cochaperone Hdj1. We found that the conformations between and within the nucleotide- and substrate-binding domains show heterogeneity. The conformational distribution in the ATP-bound state can be induced by Hdj1 to form an “ADP-like” undocked conformation, which is an ATPase-stimulated state. Kinetic measurements indicate that Hdj1 binds to monomeric Hsp70 as the first step, then induces undocking of the two domains and closing of the substrate-binding cleft. Dimeric Hdj1 then facilitates dimerization of Hsp70 and formation of a heterotetrameric Hsp70–Hsp40 complex. Our results provide a kinetic view of the conformational cycle of Hsp70 and reveal the importance of the dynamic nature of Hsp70 for its function.

Abstract
The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are ubiquitous molecular chaperones that act in a large variety of cellular protein folding and remodelling processes. They function virtually at all stages of the life of proteins from synthesis to degradation and are thus crucial for maintaining protein homeostasis, with direct implications for human health. A large set of co-chaperones comprising J-domain proteins and nucleotide exchange factors regulate the ATPase cycle of Hsp70s, which is allosterically coupled to substrate binding and release. Moreover, Hsp70s cooperate with other cellular chaperone systems including Hsp90, Hsp60 chaperonins, small heat shock proteins and Hsp100 AAA+ disaggregases, together constituting a dynamic and functionally versatile network for protein folding, unfolding, regulation, targeting, aggregation and disaggregation, as well as degradation. In this Review we describe recent advances that have increased our understanding of the molecular mechanisms and working principles of the Hsp70 network. This knowledge showcases how the Hsp70 chaperone system controls diverse cellular functions, and offers new opportunities for the development of chemical compounds that modulate disease-related Hsp70 activities.

Abstract
In this chapter the scale-consistent approach to the derivation of coarse-grained force fields developed in our laboratory is presented, in which the effective energy function originates from the potential of mean force of the system under consideration and embeds atomistically detailed interactions in the resulting energy terms through use of Kubo's cluster-cumulant expansion, appropriate selection of the major degrees of freedom to be averaged out in the derivation of analytical approximations to the energy terms, and appropriate expression of the interaction energies at the all-atom level in these degrees of freedom. Our approach enables the developers to find correct functional forms of the effective coarse-grained energy terms, without having to import them from all-atom force fields or deriving them on a heuristic basis. In particular, the energy terms derived in such a way exhibit correct dependence on coarse-grained geometry, in particular on site orientation. Moreover, analytical formulas for the multibody (correlation) terms, which appear to be crucial for coarse-grained modeling of many of the regular structures such as, e.g., protein α-helices and β-sheets, can be derived in a systematic way. Implementation of the developed theory to the UNIfied COarse-gRaiNed (UNICORN) model of biological macromolecules, which consists of the UNRES (for proteins), NARES-2P (for nucleic acids), and SUGRES-1P (for polysaccharides) components, and is being developed in our laboratory is described. Successful applications of UNICORN to the prediction of protein structure, simulating the folding and stability of proteins and nucleic acids, and solving biological problems are discussed.

This chronologue seeks to document the discovery and development of an understanding of oligomeric ring protein assemblies known as chaperonins that assist protein folding in the cell. It provides detail regarding genetic, physiologic, biochemical, and biophysical studies of these ATP-utilizing machines from both in vivo and in vitro observations. The chronologue is organized into various topics of physiology and mechanism, for each of which a chronologic order is generally followed. The text is liberally illustrated to provide firsthand inspection of the key pieces of experimental data that propelled this field. Because of the length and depth of this piece, the use of the outline as a guide for selected reading is encouraged, but it should also be of help in pursuing the text in direct order.

Abstract
Cells depend on the continuous renewal of their proteome composition during the cell cycle and in order to replace aberrant proteins or to react to changing environmental conditions. In higher eukaryotes, protein synthesis is achieved by up to five million ribosomes per cell. With the fast kinetics of translation, the large number of newly made proteins generates a substantial burden for protein homeostasis and requires a highly orchestrated cascade of factors promoting folding, sorting and final maturation. Several of the involved factors directly bind to translating ribosomes for the early processing of emerging nascent polypeptides and the translocation of ribosome nascent chain complexes to target membranes. In plant cells, protein synthesis also occurs in chloroplasts serving the expression of a relatively small set of 60–100 protein-coding genes. However, most of these proteins, together with nucleus-derived subunits, form central complexes majorly involved in the essential processes of photosynthetic light reaction, carbon fixation, metabolism and gene expression. Biogenesis of these heterogenic complexes adds an additional level of complexity for protein biogenesis. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about co-translationally binding factors in chloroplasts and discuss their role in protein folding and ribosome translocation to thylakoid membranes.

Abstract
The ATP-dependent Hsp70 chaperones (DnaK in E. coli) mediate protein folding in cooperation with J proteins and nucleotide exchange factors (E. coli DnaJ and GrpE, respectively). The Hsp70 system prevents protein aggregation and increases folding yields. Whether it also enhances the rate of folding remains unclear. Here we show that DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE accelerate the folding of the multi-domain protein firefly luciferase (FLuc) ~20-fold over the rate of spontaneous folding measured in the absence of aggregation. Analysis by single-pair FRET and hydrogen/deuterium exchange identified inter-domain misfolding as the cause of slow folding. DnaK binding expands the misfolded region and thereby resolves the kinetically-trapped intermediates, with folding occurring upon GrpE-mediated release. In each round of release DnaK commits a fraction of FLuc to fast folding, circumventing misfolding. We suggest that by resolving misfolding and accelerating productive folding, the bacterial Hsp70 system can maintain proteins in their native states under otherwise denaturing stress conditions.

Abstract
HSP70 is a powerful antiapoptotic protein that can block the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of apoptosis. The present study describes a rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive system using luciferase as a reporter for the functional analysis of apoptotic compounds. For this approach, the co-transformation of Escherichia coli cells was performed with two expression vectors containing Hsp70 and firefly luciferase. It was found that the luciferase inactivated by heat treatment (40-46 °C for 10 min) was approximately reactivated at room temperature and regained 70% of its initial activity before heat inactivation after 60 min. The results show that the reactivation of thermally inactivated luciferase was inhibited in living cells by treatment with VER-155008 and pifitrin-μ as Hsp70 inhibitors, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 124 and 384 μM, respectively. The sensitivity of this method for detecting VER-155008 and pifitrin-μ was about 8 and 25 μM, respectively. Also, this reporter system showed no response to doxorubicin and dactinomycin, which bind to DNA, and we used these anticancer compounds as control compounds. Therefore, for the first time, a rapid and simple real-time system using luciferase as a reporter is introduced for the screening of apoptosis-inducing compounds based on suppression of Hsp70 in E. coli cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the expression of a 70-kDa heat shock protein [heat shock 70-kDa protein 8 (HSPA8)/heat shock protein 70 (Hsc70)] in human degenerative lumbar intervertebral discs and its relationship with the degree of degeneration of human intervertebral discs. METHODS A total of 72 cases of lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus tissues were collected. Among these, 18 cases of nucleus pulposus tissue were assigned to the control group, while 54 cases of nucleus pulposus tissues were assigned to the experimental group. According to the preoperative MRI, cases in the experimental group were further divided into three groups: protrusion group (n = 18), extrusion group (n = 18), and sequestration group (n = 18). Western blot was performed to determine the relative expression of HSPA8 in the nucleus pulposus in each group. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to determine the number of nucleus pulposus cells, morphological differences, and cell densities of the degenerated intervertebral discs and normal intervertebral discs. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the expression of HSPA8 in nucleus pulposus tissues in each group. RESULTS Hematoxylin and eosin staining results: There were significant differences in cell morphology and number between the control group and the experimental group. Furthermore, there were significant differences in cell density (F = 936.80, P < 0.01). Immunohistochemistry results: HSPA8 was expressed in lumbar intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus tissues, and its expression of gradually decreased with the severity of the disease, and the differences were significant (F = 2110.43, P < 0.01). Western blot results: The expression of HSPA8 in human degenerative nucleus pulposus tissues gradually decreased, and the differences were significant (F = 1841.72, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION HSPA8 is stably expressed in human intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus tissues, and its expression is associated with the degree of intervertebral disc degeneration.

Abstract
Heat-shock proteins of 70 kDa (Hsp70s) are ubiquitous molecular chaperones that function in protein folding as well as other vital cellular processes. They bind and hydrolyze ATP in a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) to control the binding and release of client polypeptides in a substrate-binding domain (SBD). However, the molecular mechanism for this allosteric action has remained unclear. Here, we develop and experimentally quantify a theoretical model for Hsp70 allostery based on equilibria among Hsp70 conformational states. We postulate that, when bound to ATP, Hsp70 is in equilibrium between a restraining state (R) that restricts ATP hydrolysis and binds peptides poorly, if at all, and a stimulating state (S) that hydrolyzes ATP relatively rapidly and has high intrinsic substrate affinity but rapid binding kinetics; after the hydrolysis to ADP, NBD and SBD disengage into an uncoupled state (U) that binds peptide substrates tightly, but now with slow kinetics of exchange.

Abstract
Plants maintain cellular proteostasis during different phases of growth and development despite a barrage of biotic and abiotic stressors in an ever-changing environment. This requires a collaborative effort of a cadre of molecular chaperones. Hsp70s and their obligate co-chaperones, J-domain proteins (JDPs), are arguably the most ubiquitous and formidable components of the cellular chaperone network, facilitating numerous and diverse cellular processes and allowing survival under a plethora of stressful conditions. JDPs are also among the most versatile chaperones. Compared to Hsp70s, the number of JDP-encoding genes has proliferated, suggesting the emergence of highly complex Hsp70-JDP networks, particularly in plants. Recent studies indicate that besides the increase in the number of JDP encoding genes; regulatory differences, neo- and sub-functionalization, and inter- and intra-class combinatorial interactions, is rapidly expanding the repertoire of Hsp70-JDP systems. This results in highly robust and functionally diverse chaperone networks in plants. Here, we review the current status of plant JDP research and discuss how the paradigm shift in the field can be exploited toward a better understanding of JDP function and evolution.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins of 70 kDa (Hsp70s) are ubiquitous and highly conserved molecular chaperones. They play multiple essential roles in assisting with protein folding and maintaining protein homeostasis. Their chaperone activity has been proposed to require several rounds of binding to and release of polypeptide substrates at the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of Hsp70s. All available structures have revealed a single substrate-binding site in the SBD that binds a single segment of an extended polypeptide of 3-4 residues. However, this well-established single peptide-binding site alone has made it difficult to explain the efficient chaperone activity of Hsp70s. In this study, using purified proteins and site-directed mutagenesis, along with fluorescence polarization and luciferase-refolding assays, we report the unexpected discovery of a second peptide-binding site in Hsp70s. More importantly, the biochemical analyses suggested that this novel binding site, named here P2, is essential for Hsp70 chaperone activity. Furthermore, cross-linking and mutagenesis studies indicated that this second binding site is in the SBD adjacent to the first binding site. Taken together, our results suggest that these two essential binding sites of Hsp70s cooperate in protein folding.

Abstract
Obligate protozoan parasites of the kinetoplastids and apicomplexa infect human cells to complete their life cycles. Some of the members of these groups of parasites develop in at least two systems, the human host and the insect vector. Survival under the varied physiological conditions associated with the human host and in the arthropod vectors requires the parasites to modulate their metabolic complement in order to meet the prevailing conditions. One of the key features of these parasites essential for their survival and host infectivity is timely expression of various proteins. Even more importantly is the need to keep their proteome functional by maintaining its functional capabilities in the wake of physiological changes and host immune responses. For this reason, molecular chaperones (also called heat shock proteins)-whose role is to facilitate proteostasis-play an important role in the survival of these parasites. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and Hsp70 are prominent molecular chaperones that are generally induced in response to physiological stress. Both Hsp90 and Hsp70 members are functionally regulated by nucleotides. In addition, Hsp70 and Hsp90 cooperate to facilitate folding of some key proteins implicated in cellular development. In addition, Hsp90 and Hsp70 individually interact with other accessory proteins (co-chaperones) that regulate their functions. The dependency of these proteins on nucleotide for their chaperone function presents an Achille's heel, as inhibitors that mimic ATP are amongst potential therapeutic agents targeting their function in obligate intracellular human parasites. Most of the promising small molecule inhibitors of parasitic heat shock proteins are either antibiotics or anticancer agents, whose repurposing against parasitic infections holds prospects. Both cancer cells and obligate human parasites depend upon a robust protein quality control system to ensure their survival, and hence, both employ a competent heat shock machinery to this end. Furthermore, some inhibitors that target chaperone and co-chaperone networks also offer promising prospects as antiparasitic agents. The current review highlights the progress made so far in design and application of small molecule inhibitors against obligate intracellular human parasites of the kinetoplastida and apicomplexan kingdoms.

Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2019; 1864:129458.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Hsp70 proteins maintain proteome integrity through the capacity of their nucleotide- and substrate-binding domains (NBD and SBD) to allosterically regulate substrate affinity in a nucleotide-dependent manner. Crystallographic studies showed that Hsp70 allostery relies on formation of contacts between ATP-bound NBD and an interdomain linker, accompanied by SBD subdomains docking onto distinct sites of the NBD leading to substrate release. However, the mechanics of ATP-induced SBD subdomains detachment is largely unknown. METHODS Here, we investigated the structural and allosteric properties of human HSPA1A using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, ATPase assays, surface plasmon resonance and fluorescence polarization-based substrate binding assays. RESULTS Analysis of HSPA1A proteins bearing mutations at the interface of SBD subdomains close to the interdomain linker (amino acids L399, L510, I515, and D529) revealed that this region forms a folding unit stabilizing the structure of both SBD subdomains in the nucleotide-free state. The introduced mutations modulate HSPA1A allostery as they localize to the NBD-SBD interfaces in the ATP-bound protein. CONCLUSIONS These findings show that residues forming the hydrophobic structural unit stabilizing the SBD structure are relocated during ATP-activated detachment of the SBD subdomains to different NBD-SBD docking interfaces enabling HSPA1A allostery. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Mutation-induced perturbations tuned HSPA1A sensitivity to peptide/protein substrates and to Hsp40 in a way that is common for other Hsp70 proteins. Our results provide an insight into structural rearrangements in the SBD of Hsp70 proteins and highlight HSPA1A-specific allostery features, which is a prerequisite for selective targeting in Hsp-related pathologies.

Abstract
Myosin is a motor protein that is essential for a variety of processes ranging from intracellular transport to muscle contraction. Folding and assembly of myosin relies on a specific chaperone, UNC-45. To address its substrate-targeting mechanism, we reconstitute the interplay between Caenorhabditis elegans UNC-45 and muscle myosin MHC-B in insect cells. In addition to providing a cellular chaperone assay, the established system enabled us to produce large amounts of functional muscle myosin, as evidenced by a biochemical and structural characterization, and to directly monitor substrate binding to UNC-45. Data from in vitro and cellular chaperone assays, together with crystal structures of binding-deficient UNC-45 mutants, highlight the importance of utilizing a flexible myosin-binding domain. This so-called UCS domain can adopt discrete conformations to efficiently bind and fold substrate. Moreover, our data uncover the molecular basis of temperature-sensitive UNC-45 mutations underlying one of the most prominent motility defects in C. elegans. Myosin, a motor protein essential for intracellular transport to muscle contraction, requires a chaperone UNC-45 for folding and assembly. Here authors use in vitro reconstitution and structural biology to characterize the interplay between UNC-45 and muscle myosin MHC-B.

Abstract
As one of the most abundant and highly conserved molecular chaperones, the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) play a key role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis (proteostasis), one of the most fundamental tasks for every living organism. In this role, Hsp70s are inextricably linked to many human diseases, most notably cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and are increasingly recognized as important drug targets for developing novel therapeutics for these diseases. Hsp40s are a class of essential and universal partners for Hsp70s in almost all aspects of proteostasis. Thus, Hsp70s and Hsp40s together constitute one of the most important chaperone systems across all kingdoms of life. In recent years, we have witnessed significant progress in understanding the molecular mechanism of this chaperone system through structural and functional analysis. This review will focus on this recent progress, mainly from a structural perspective.

Abstract
The heat shock 70 (Hsp70) family of molecular chaperones plays a central role in maintaining cellular proteostasis. Structurally, Hsp70s are composed of an N-terminal nucleotide binding domain (NBD) which exhibits ATPase activity, and a C-terminal substrate binding domain (SBD). The binding of ATP at the NBD and its subsequent hydrolysis influences the substrate binding affinity of the SBD through allostery. Similarly, peptide binding at the C-terminal SBD stimulates ATP hydrolysis by the N-terminal NBD. Interdomain communication between the NBD and SBD is facilitated by a conserved linker segment. Hsp70s form two main subgroups. Canonical Hsp70 members generally suppress protein aggregation and are also capable of refolding misfolded proteins. Hsp110 members are characterized by an extended lid segment and their function tends to be largely restricted to suppression of protein aggregation. In addition, the latter serve as nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs) of canonical Hsp70s. The linker of the Hsp110 family is less conserved compared to that of the canonical Hsp70 group. In addition, the linker plays a crucial role in defining the functional features of these two groups of Hsp70. Generally, the linker of Hsp70 is quite small and varies in size from seven to thirteen residues. Due to its small size, any sequence variation that Hsp70 exhibits in this motif has a major and unique influence on the function of the protein. Based on sequence data, we observed that canonical Hsp70s possess a linker that is distinct from similar segments present in Hsp110 proteins. In addition, Hsp110 linker motifs from various genera are distinct suggesting that their unique features regulate the flexibility with which the NBD and SBD of these proteins communicate via allostery. The Hsp70 linker modulates various structure-function features of Hsp70 such as its global conformation, affinity for peptide substrate and interaction with co-chaperones. The current review discusses how the unique features of the Hsp70 linker accounts for the functional specialization of this group of molecular chaperones.

Abstract
Recent work has shown that weak protein-protein interactions are susceptible to the cellular milieu. One case in point is the binding of heat shock proteins (Hsps) to substrate proteins in cells under stress. Upregulation of the Hsp70 chaperone machinery at elevated temperature was discovered in the 1960s, and more recent studies have shown that ATPase activity in one Hsp70 domain is essential for control of substrate binding by the other Hsp70 domain. Although there are several denaturant-based assays of Hsp70 activity, reports of ATP-dependent binding of Hsp70 to a globular protein substrate under heat shock are scarce. Here we show that binding of heat-inducible Hsp70 to phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is remarkably different in vitro compared to in-cell. We use fluorescent-labeled mHsp70 and ePGK, and begin by showing that mHsp70 passes the standard β-galactosidase assay, and that it does not self-aggregate until 50°C in presence of ATP. Yet during denaturant refolding or during in vitro heat shock, mHsp70 shows only ATP-independent non-specific sticking to ePGK, as evidenced by nearly identical results with an ATPase activity-deficient K71M mutant of Hsp70 as a control. Addition of Hsp40 (co-factor) or Ficoll (crowder) does not reduce non-specific sticking, but cell lysate does. Therefore, Hsp70 does not act as an ATP-dependent chaperone on its substrate PGK in vitro. In contrast, we observe only specific ATP-dependent binding of mHsp70 to ePGK in mammalian cells, when compared to the inactive Hsp70 K71M mutant. We hypothesize that enhanced in-cell activity is not due to an unknown co-factor, but simply to a favorable shift in binding equilibrium caused by the combination of crowding and osmolyte/macromolecular interactions present in the cell. One candidate mechanism for such a favorable shift in binding equilibrium is the proven ability of Hsp70 to bind near-native states of substrate proteins in vitro. We show evidence for early onset of binding in-cell. Our results suggest that Hsp70 binds PGK preemptively, prior to its full unfolding transition, thus stabilizing it against further unfolding. We propose a "preemptive holdase" mechanism for Hsp70-substrate binding. Given our result for PGK, more proteins than one might think based on in vitro assays may be chaperoned by Hsp70 in vivo. The cellular environment thus plays an important role in maintaining proper Hsp70 function.

Abstract
DnaK (Hsp70) is a major ATP-dependent chaperone that functions with two co-chaperones, a J-domain protein (JDP) and a nucleotide exchange factor to maintain proteostasis in most organisms. Here, we show that the environmental bacterium Shewanella oneidensis possesses a previously uncharacterized short JDP, AtcJ, dedicated to cold adaptation and composed of a functional J-domain and a C-terminal extension of 21 amino acids. We showed that atcJ is the first gene of an operon encoding also AtcA, AtcB and AtcC, three proteins of unknown functions. Interestingly, we found that the absence of AtcJ, AtcB or AtcC leads to a dramatically reduced growth at low temperature. In addition, we demonstrated that AtcJ interacts via its C-terminal extension with AtcC, and that AtcC binds to AtcB. Therefore, we identified a previously uncharacterized protein network that involves the DnaK system with a dedicated JDP to allow bacteria to survive to cold environment.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Despite intensive advances in diagnosis and treatment of CRC, it is yet one of the leading cause of cancer related morbidity and mortality. Therefore, there is an urgent medical need for alternative therapeutic approaches to treat CRC. The 70 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are a family of evolutionary conserved heat shock proteins, which play an important role in cell homeostasis and survival. They overexpress in various types of malignancy including CRC and are typically accompanied with poor prognosis. Hence, inhibition of Hsp70 may be considered as a striking chemotherapeutic avenue. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the progress made so far to discover compounds, which target the Hsp70 family, with particular emphasis on their efficacy in treatment of CRC. We also briefly explain the induction of Hsp70 as a strategy to prevent CRC.

Abstract
Proteins must fold into their native structure and maintain it during their lifespan to display the desired activity. To ensure proper folding and stability, and avoid generation of misfolded conformations that can be potentially cytotoxic, cells synthesize a wide variety of molecular chaperones that assist folding of other proteins and avoid their aggregation, which unfortunately is unavoidable under acute stress conditions. A protein machinery in metazoa, composed of representatives of the Hsp70, Hsp40, and Hsp110 chaperone families, can reactivate protein aggregates. We revised herein the phosphorylation sites found so far in members of these chaperone families and the functional consequences associated with some of them. We also discuss how phosphorylation might regulate the chaperone activity and the interaction of human Hsp70 with its accessory and client proteins. Finally, we present the information that would be necessary to decrypt the effect that post-translational modifications, and especially phosphorylation, could have on the biological activity of the Hsp70 system, known as the “chaperone code”.

Abstract
While precise mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still not fully understood, previous studies suggest that the innate immune system, through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), plays a crucial part in the pathways leading to these diseases, mainly because of its interplay with endogenous molecules. The Heat-shock protein 70 family (HSP70-70kDa) is of particular interest in cardiovascular tissues as it may have dual effects when interacting with TLR4 pathways. Although the hypothesis of the HSP70 family members acting as TLR4 ligands is becoming widely accepted, to date no co-crystal structure of this complex is available and it is still unknown whether this process requires the co-adaptor MD2. In this study, we aimed at investigating the interplay between the TLR4/MD2 complex and HSP70 family members in the human cardiovascular system through transcriptomic data analysis and at proposing a putative interaction model between these proteins. We report compelling evidence of correlated expression levels between TLR4 and MD2 with HSP70 cognate family members, especially in heart tissue. In our molecular docking simulations, we found that HSP70 in the ATP-bound state presents a better docking score towards the TLR4/MD2 complex compared to the ADP-bound state (-22.60 vs. -10.29 kcal/mol, respectively). Additionally, we show via a proximity ligation assay for HSP70 and TLR4, that cells stimulated with ATP have higher formation of fluorescent spots and that MD2 might be required for the complexation of these proteins. The insights provided by our computational approach are potential scaffolds for future in vivo studies investigating the interplay between the TLR4/MD2 complex and HSP70 family members in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract
The Hsp70 family of chaperones works with its co-chaperones, the nucleotide exchange factors and J-domain proteins, to facilitate a multitude of cellular functions. Central players in protein homeostasis, these jacks-of-many-trades are utilized in a variety of ways because of their ability to bind with selective promiscuity to regions of their client proteins that are exposed when the client is unfolded, either fully or partially, or visits a conformational state that exposes the binding region in a regulated manner. The key to Hsp70 functions is that their substrate binding is transient and allosterically cycles in a nucleotide-dependent fashion between high- and low-affinity states. In the past few years, structural insights into the molecular mechanism of this allosterically regulated binding have emerged and provided deep insight into the deceptively simple Hsp70 molecular machine that is so widely harnessed by nature for diverse cellular functions. In this review, these structural insights are discussed to give a picture of the current understanding of how Hsp70 chaperones work.

Abstract
Single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a powerful tool to study conformational dynamics of biomolecules. Using solution-based single-pair FRET by burst analysis, conformational heterogeneities and fluctuations of fluorescently labeled proteins or nucleic acids can be studied by monitoring a single distance at a time. Three-color FRET is sensitive to three distances simultaneously and can thus elucidate complex coordinated motions within single molecules. While three-color FRET has been applied on the single-molecule level before, a detailed quantitative description of the obtained FRET efficiency distributions is still missing. Direct interpretation of three-color FRET data is additionally complicated by an increased shot noise contribution when converting photon counts to FRET efficiencies. However, to address the question of coordinated motion, it is of special interest to extract information about the underlying distance heterogeneity, which is not easily extracted from the FRET efficiency histograms directly. Here, we present three-color photon distribution analysis (3C-PDA), a method to extract distributions of interdye distances from three-color FRET measurements. We present a model for diffusion-based three-color FRET experiments and apply Bayesian inference to extract information about the physically relevant distance heterogeneity in the sample. The approach is verified using simulated data sets and experimentally applied to triple-labeled DNA duplexes. Finally, three-color FRET experiments on the Hsp70 chaperone BiP reveal conformational coordinated changes between individual domains. The possibility to address the co-occurrence of intramolecular distances makes 3C-PDA a powerful method to study the coordination of domain motions within biomolecules undergoing conformational dynamics.

Abstract
Hsp70s use ATP to generate forces that disassemble protein complexes and aggregates, and that translocate proteins into organelles. Entropic pulling has been proposed as a novel mechanism, distinct from the more familiar power-stroke and Brownian ratchet models, for how Hsp70s generate these forces. Experimental evidence supports entropic pulling, but this model may not be well understood among scientists studying these systems. In this review we address persistent misconceptions regarding the dynamics of proteins in solution that contribute to this lack of understanding, and we clarify the basic physics of entropic pulling with some simple analogies. We hope that increased understanding of the entropic pulling mechanism will inform future efforts to characterize how Hsp70s function as motors, and how they coordinate with their regulatory cochaperones in mechanochemical cycles that transduce the energy of ATP hydrolysis into physical changes in their protein substrates.

Abstract
Biological molecules are often highly dynamic, and this flexibility can be critical for function. The large range of sampled timescales and the fact that many of the conformers that are continually explored are only transiently formed and sparsely populated challenge current biophysical approaches. Solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful method for characterizing biomolecular dynamics in detail, even in cases where excursions involve short-lived states. Here, we briefly review a number of NMR experiments for studies of biomolecular dynamics on the microsecond-to-second timescale and focus on applications to protein and nucleic acid systems that clearly illustrate the functional relevance of motion in both health and disease.

Abstract
KEY MESSAGE: (1) The fes1a bag6 double mutant shows an increased short term thermotolerance compared to fes1a. BAG6 is a suppressor of Fes1A; (2) IQ motif is essential to effective performance of BAG6. (3) Calmodulin was involved in signal transduction. (4) BAG6 is localized in the nucleus. HSP70s play an important role in the heat-induced stress tolerance of plants. However, effective HSP70 function requires the assistance of many co-chaperones. BAG6 and Fes1A are HSP70-binding proteins that are critical for Arabidopsis thaliana thermotolerance. Despite this importance, little is known about how these co-chaperones interact. In this study, we assessed the thermotolerance of a fes1a bag6 double mutant. We found that the fes1a bag6 double mutant shows an increased short-term thermotolerance compared to fes1a. However, calmodulin inhibitors diminished this enhanced thermotolerance in the fes1a bag6 double mutant. In addition, we found the IQ motif to be essential for effective BAG6 performance. Since BAG6 is localized in the nucleus, the signal transduction is likely to involve nuclear calcium signaling.

Abstract
The 70 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp70) is undoubtedly the most versatile of all molecular chaperones. Hsp70 is involved in numerous cellular protein folding processes, accompanying proteins throughout their lifespan from de novo folding at the ribosome to degradation at the proteasome, surveilling protein stability and functionality. Several properties of this ATP-dependent chaperone constitute the molecular basis for this versatility. With its substrate binding domain (SBD), Hsp70 transiently interacts with a short degenerative linear sequence motif found practically in all proteins and, in addition, with more folded protein conformers. Binding to polypeptides is tightly regulated by ATP binding and hydrolysis in the nucleotide binding domain, which is coupled to the SBD by an intricate allosteric mechanism. Hsp70 is regulated by a host of J-cochaperones, which act as targeting factors by regulating the ATPase activity of Hsp70 in synergism with the substrates themselves, and by several families of nucleotide exchange factors. In this review, I focus on the allosteric mechanism, which allows Hsp70s to interact with substrates with ultrahigh affinity through a non-equilibrium mode of action and summarize what mutagenesis and structural studies have taught us about the pathways and mechanics of interdomain communication.This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Allostery and molecular machines'.

Abstract
The prevailing abiotic stresses, especially heat stress is of great significance on the growth of plants, yield and distribution. In the conditions of heat stress, plants modulate protein processes leading to development of heat tolerance. Of such proteins, the molecular chaperone functions of HSP70/HSC70 proteins are important where their enhanced expression positively correlates with the acquisition of heat tolerance. The key players in the regulation of such tailored protein responses of plants to heat stress are the phytohormones. In the present study, phytohormone mediated interaction of Pennisetum glaucum HSC70 (PgHSC70) protein was performed through docking studies involving sequence analysis, 3D modeling and model evaluation. In silico analysis has shown better interaction and good binding energy of PgHSC70 with the phytohormone brassinolide. Furthermore, the predicted structural information can be helpful for future studies on role of interaction between HSC70 and brassinolide in heat tolerance.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Enhanced capability of co-fermenting glucose and xylose at high temperature is highly desirable for yeast application in second-generation bioethanol production. Here, we obtained hybrid strains with improved glucose-xylose co-fermentation properties at high temperature by combining genome shuffling and adaptive evolution. Genome resequencing of these strains suggested predominantly inherited genetic information from one parental strain Spathaspora passalidarum SP rather than the other parental strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae ScY01, possibly due to that the CUG codon system of S. passalidarum might have systematically eliminated most of the functional proteins from S. cerevisiae through misfolding. Compared to SP, one-copy loss of a 146-kb fragment was found in the hybrid strain and regained after being evolved for a while, whereas one-copy loss of an 11-kb fragment was only found after being evolved for a longer time. Besides, the genes affected by nonsynonymous variants were also identified, especially the mutation S540F in the endoplasmic reticulum chaperon Kar2. Structural prediction indicated that S540F might change the substrate binding activity of Kar2, and thus play a role in preventing protein aggregation in yeast at high temperature. Our results illustrated genomic alterations during this process and revealed some genomic factors that might be involved to determine yeast thermotolerance.

Abstract
Eukaryotic protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is largely dependent on the action of highly conserved Hsp70 molecular chaperones. Recent evidence indicates that, apart from conserved molecular allostery, Hsp70 proteins have retained and adapted the ability to assemble as functionally relevant ATP-bound dimers throughout evolution. Here, we have compared the ATP-dependent dimerization of DnaK, human stress-inducible Hsp70, Hsc70 and BiP Hsp70 proteins, showing that their dimerization propensities differ, with stress-inducible Hsp70 being predominantly dimeric in the presence of ATP. Structural analyses using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, native electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and small-angle X-ray scattering revealed that stress-inducible Hsp70 assembles in solution as an antiparallel dimer with the intermolecular interface closely resembling the ATP-bound dimer interfaces captured in DnaK and BiP crystal structures. ATP-dependent dimerization of stress-inducible Hsp70 is necessary for its efficient interaction with Hsp40, as shown by experiments with dimerization-deficient mutants. Moreover, dimerization of ATP-bound Hsp70 is required for its participation in high molecular weight protein complexes detected ex vivo, supporting its functional role in vivo As human cytosolic Hsp70 can interact with tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain containing cochaperones, we tested the interaction of Hsp70 ATP-dependent dimers with Chip and Tomm34 cochaperones. Although Chip associates with intact Hsp70 dimers to form a larger complex, binding of Tomm34 disrupts the Hsp70 dimer and this event plays an important role in Hsp70 activity regulation. In summary, this study provides structural evidence of robust ATP-dependent antiparallel dimerization of human inducible Hsp70 protein and suggests a novel role of TPR domain cochaperones in multichaperone complexes involving Hsp70 ATP-bound dimers.

Abstract
Despite its known role as a secreted neuroprotectant, much of the mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of producer cells. There, by unknown mechanisms, MANF plays a role in protein folding homeostasis in complex with the ER-localized Hsp70 chaperone BiP. Here we report that the SAF-A/B, Acinus, and PIAS (SAP) domain of MANF selectively associates with the nucleotide binding domain (NBD) of ADP-bound BiP. In crystal structures the SAP domain engages the cleft between NBD subdomains Ia and IIa, stabilizing the ADP-bound conformation and clashing with the interdomain linker that occupies this site in ATP-bound BiP. MANF inhibits both ADP release from BiP and ATP binding to BiP, and thereby client release. Cells lacking MANF have fewer ER stress-induced BiP-containing high molecular weight complexes. These findings suggest that MANF contributes to protein folding homeostasis as a nucleotide exchange inhibitor that stabilizes certain BiP-client complexes.

Abstract
The human heat shock proteins (Hsps), predominantly Hsp72 and Hsp90, have been strongly implicated in various critical stages of oncogenesis and progression of human cancers. While drug development has extensively focused on Hsp90 as a potential anticancer target, much less effort has been put against Hsp72. This work investigated the therapeutic potential of Hsp72 and its constitutive isoform, Hsc70, via in silico-based screening against the South African Natural Compounds Database (SANCDB). A comparative modeling approach was used to obtain nearly full-length 3D structures of the closed conformation of Hsp72 and Hsc70 proteins. Molecular docking of SANCDB compounds identified one potential allosteric modulator, Discorhabdin N, binding to the allosteric β substrate binding domain (SBDβ) back pocket, with good binding affinities in both cases. This allosteric region was identified in one of our previous studies. Subsequent all-atom molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations exhibited promising protein⁻ligand association characteristics, indicative of strong binding qualities. Further, we utilised dynamic residue network analysis (DRN) to highlight protein regions actively involved in cross-domain communication. Most residues identified agreed with known allosteric signal regulators from literature, and were further investigated for the purpose of deducing meaningful insights into the allosteric modulation properties of Discorhabdin N.

Abstract
Several recent atomic-resolution studies have resolved how chaperones interact with their client proteins. In some cases, molecular chaperones recognize and bind their clients in conformational ensembles that are locally highly dynamic and interconvert, while in other cases clients bind in unique conformations. The presence of a locally dynamic client ensemble state has important consequences, both for the interpretation of experimental data and for the functionality of chaperones, as local dynamics facilitate rapid client release, folding on and from the chaperone surface, and client recognition without shape complementarity. Facilitated by the local dynamics, at least some chaperones appear to specifically recognize energetically frustrated sites of partially folded client proteins, such that the release of frustration contributes to the interaction affinity.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) represents the entry point into the secretory pathway where nascent proteins encounter a specialized environment for their folding and maturation. Inherent to these processes is a dedicated quality-control system that detects proteins that fail to mature properly and targets them for cytosolic degradation. An imbalance in protein folding and degradation can result in the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER, resulting in the activation of a signaling cascade that restores proper homeostasis in this organelle. The ER heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family member BiP is an ATP-dependent chaperone that plays a critical role in these processes. BiP interacts with specific ER-localized DnaJ family members (ERdjs), which stimulate BiP's ATP-dependent substrate interactions, with several ERdjs also binding directly to unfolded protein clients. Recent structural and biochemical studies have provided detailed insights into the allosteric regulation of client binding by BiP and have enhanced our understanding of how specific ERdjs enable BiP to perform its many functions in the ER. In this review, we discuss how BiP's functional cycle and interactions with ERdjs enable it to regulate protein homeostasis in the ER and ensure protein quality control.

Abstract
To be able to perform their biological function, a protein needs to be correctly folded into its three dimensional structure. The protein folding process is spontaneous and does not require the input of energy. However, in the crowded cellular environment where there is high risk of inter-molecular interactions that may lead to protein molecules sticking to each other, hence forming aggregates, protein folding is assisted. Cells have evolved robust machinery called molecular chaperones to deal with the protein folding problem and to maintain proteins in their functional state. Molecular chaperones promote efficient folding of newly synthesized proteins, prevent their aggregation and ensure protein homeostasis in cells. There are different classes of molecular chaperones functioning in a complex interplay. In this review, we discuss the principal characteristics of different classes of molecular chaperones, their structure-function relationships, their mode of regulation and their involvement in human disorders.

Abstract
Conserved families of molecular chaperones assist protein folding in the cell. Here we review the conceptual advances on three major folding routes: (i) spontaneous, chaperone-independent folding; (ii) folding assisted by repetitive Hsp70 cycles; and (iii) folding by the Hsp70-Hsp90 cascades. These chaperones prepare their protein clients for folding on their own, without altering their folding path. A particularly interesting role is reserved for Hsp90. The function of Hsp90 in folding is its ancient function downstream of Hsp70, free of cochaperone regulation and present in all kingdoms of life. Eukaryotic signalling networks, however, embrace Hsp90 by a plethora of cochaperones, transforming the profolding machinery to a folding-on-demand factor. We discuss implications for biology and molecular medicine.

Abstract
To carry out their biological function in cells, proteins must be folded and targeted to the appropriate subcellular location. These processes are controlled by a vast collection of interacting proteins collectively known as the protein homeostasis network, in which molecular chaperones play a prominent role. Protein homeostasis can be impaired by inherited mutations leading to genetic diseases. In this chapter, we focus on a particular disease, primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), in which disease-associated mutations exacerbate protein aggregation in the cell and mistarget the peroxisomal alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) protein to mitochondria, in part due to native state destabilization and enhanced interaction with Hsp60, 70 and 90 chaperone systems. After a general introduction of molecular chaperones and PH1, we review our current knowledge on the structural and energetic features of PH1-causing mutants that lead to these particular pathogenic mechanisms. From this perspective, and in the context of the key role of molecular chaperones in PH1 pathogenesis, we present and discuss current and future perspectives for pharmacological treatments for this disease.

Abstract
Hsp70 chaperones are central hubs of the protein quality control network and collaborate with co-chaperones having a J-domain (an ∼70-residue-long helical hairpin with a flexible loop and a conserved His-Pro-Asp motif required for ATP hydrolysis by Hsp70s) and also with nucleotide exchange factors to facilitate many protein-folding processes that (re)establish protein homeostasis. The Hsp70s are highly dynamic nanomachines that modulate the conformation of their substrate polypeptides by transiently binding to short, mostly hydrophobic stretches. This interaction is regulated by an intricate allosteric mechanism. The J-domain co-chaperones target Hsp70 to their polypeptide substrates, and the nucleotide exchange factors regulate the lifetime of the Hsp70-substrate complexes. Significant advances in recent years are beginning to unravel the molecular mechanism of this chaperone machine and how they treat their substrate proteins.

Abstract
Allosteric inhibitors can be more difficult to optimize without an understanding of how their binding influences the conformational motions of the target. Here, we used an integrated computational and experimental approach to probe the molecular mechanism of an allosteric inhibitor of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). The anticancer compound, MKT-077, is known to bind a conserved site in members of the Hsp70 family, which favors the ADP-bound state and interferes with a protein-protein interaction (PPI) at long range. However, the binding site does not overlap with either the nucleotide-binding cleft or the PPI contact surface, so its mechanism is unclear. To this end, we modeled Hsp70's internal dynamics and studied how MKT-077 alters local sampling of its allosteric states. The results pointed to a set of concerted motions between five loops in Hsp70's nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), surrounding the MKT-077 binding site. To test this prediction, we mutated key residues and monitored chaperone activities in vitro. Together, the results indicate that MKT-077 interacts with loop222 to favor a pseudo-ADP bound conformer of Hsp70's NBD, even when ATP is present. We used this knowledge to synthesize an analog of MKT-077 that would better prevent motions of loop222 and confirmed that it had improved antiproliferative activity in breast cancer cells. These results provide an example of how to unlock and leverage the complex mechanisms of allosteric inhibitors.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins 90 (Hsp90) and 70 (Hsp70) are two families of highly conserved ATP-dependent molecular chaperones that fold and remodel proteins. Both are important components of the cellular machinery involved in protein homeostasis and participate in nearly every cellular process. Although Hsp90 and Hsp70 each carry out some chaperone activities independently, they collaborate in other cellular remodeling reactions. In eukaryotes, both Hsp90 and Hsp70 function with numerous Hsp90 and Hsp70 co-chaperones. In contrast, bacterial Hsp90 and Hsp70 are less complex; Hsp90 acts independently of co-chaperones, and Hsp70 uses two co-chaperones. In this review, we focus on recent progress toward understanding the basic mechanisms of Hsp90-mediated protein remodeling and the collaboration between Hsp90 and Hsp70, with an emphasis on bacterial chaperones. We describe the structure and conformational dynamics of these chaperones and their interactions with each other and with client proteins. The physiological roles of Hsp90 in Escherichia coli and other bacteria are also discussed. We anticipate that the information gained from exploring the mechanism of the bacterial chaperone system will provide the groundwork for understanding the more complex eukaryotic Hsp90 system and its modulation by Hsp90 co-chaperones.

Abstract
The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are molecular chaperones that perform a wide range of critical cellular functions. They assist in the folding of newly synthesized proteins, facilitate assembly of specific protein complexes, shepherd proteins across membranes, and prevent protein misfolding and aggregation. Hsp70s perform these functions by a conserved mechanism that relies on allosteric cycles of nucleotide-modulated binding and release of client proteins. Current models for Hsp70 allostery have come from extensive study of the bacterial Hsp70, DnaK. Extending our understanding to eukaryotic Hsp70s is extremely important not only in providing a likely common mechanistic framework but also because of their central roles in cellular physiology. In this study, we examined the allosteric behaviors of the eukaryotic cytoplasmic Hsp70s, HspA1 and Hsc70, and found significant differences from that of DnaK. We found that HspA1 and Hsc70 favor a state in which the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) and substrate-binding domain (SBD) are intimately docked significantly more as compared to DnaK. Past work established that the NBD-SBD interface and the helical lid-β-SBD interface govern the allosteric landscape of DnaK. Here, we identified sites on these interfaces that differ between eukaryotic cytoplasmic Hsp70s and DnaK. Our mutational analysis has revealed key evolutionary variations that account for the population shifts between the docked and undocked conformations. These results underline the tunability of Hsp70 functions by modulation of allosteric interfaces through evolutionary diversification and also suggest sites where the binding of small-molecule modulators could influence Hsp70 function.

Abstract
ClpB, a bacterial homologue of heat shock protein 104 (Hsp104), can disentangle aggregated proteins with the help of the DnaK, a bacterial Hsp70, and its co-factors. As a member of the expanded superfamily of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+), ClpB forms a hexameric ring structure, with each protomer containing two AAA+ modules, AAA1 and AAA2. A long coiled-coil middle domain (MD) is present in the C-terminal region of the AAA1 and surrounds the main body of the ring. The MD is subdivided into two oppositely directed short coiled-coils, called motif-1 and motif-2. The MD represses the ATPase activity of ClpB, and this repression is reversed by the binding of DnaK to motif-2. To better understand how the MD regulates ClpB activity, here we investigated the roles of motif-1 in ClpB from Thermus thermophilus (TClpB). Using systematic alanine substitution of the conserved charged residues, we identified functionally important residues in motif-1, and using a photoreactive cross-linker and LC-MS/MS analysis, we further explored potential interacting residues. Moreover, we constructed TClpB mutants in which functionally important residues in motif-1 and in other candidate regions were substituted by oppositely charged residues. These analyses revealed that the intra-subunit pair Glu-401-Arg-532 and the inter-subunit pair Asp-404-Arg-180 are functionally important, electrostatically interacting pairs. Considering these structural findings, we conclude that the Glu-401-Arg-532 interaction shifts the equilibrium of the MD conformation to stabilize the activated form and that the Arg-180-Asp-404 interaction contributes to intersubunit signal transduction, essential for ClpB chaperone activities.

Abstract
The androgen receptor (AR) is a key driver and therapeutic target in androgen-sensitive prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and CRPC resistant to abiraterone and enzalutamide, two second-generation inhibitors of AR signaling. Because current AR inhibitors target a functioning C-terminal ligand-binding domain (LBD), the identification and characterization of cofactors interacting with the N-terminal domain (NTD) of AR may lead to new approaches to target AR signaling in CRPC. Using a pull-down approach coupled with proteomics, we have identified Hsp70 as a cofactor for the NTD of AR in prostate cancer cells. Hsp70 inhibition using siRNA or small molecules indicated that Hsp70 played an important role in the expression and transactivation of endogenous AR. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) promoter/enhancer-driven luciferase assays showed that Hsp70 was also required for transactivation of AR mutant lacking LBD. Furthermore, clonogenic assays showed that an Hsp70 inhibitor, either alone or in synergy with enzalutamide, can inhibit the proliferation of 22Rv1, a widely used enzalutamide-resistant CRPC prostate cancer cell line. These findings suggest that Hsp70 is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of enzalutamide-resistant CRPC.

Cochaperones enable Hsp70 to use ATP energy to stabilize native proteins out of the folding equilibrium. Sci Rep 2018; 8:13213. [PMID: 30181618 PMCID: PMC6123477 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-31641-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2018] [Accepted: 08/23/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) chaperones, vital to the proper folding of proteins inside cells, consume ATP and require cochaperones in assisting protein folding. It is unclear whether Hsp70 can utilize the free energy from ATP hydrolysis to fold a protein into a native state that is thermodynamically unstable in the chaperone-free equilibrium. Here I present a model of Hsp70-mediated protein folding, which predicts that Hsp70, as a result of differential stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by its Hsp40 cochaperone, dissociates faster from a substrate in fold-competent conformations than from one in misfolding-prone conformations, thus elevating the native concentration above and suppressing the misfolded concentration below their respective equilibrium values. Previous models would not make or imply these predictions, which are experimentally testable. My model quantitatively reproduces experimental refolding kinetics, predicts how modulations of the Hsp70/Hsp40 chaperone system affect protein folding, and suggests new approaches to regulating cellular protein quality.
