The cytoprotective protein MANF promotes neuronal survival independently from its role as a GRP78 cofactor. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100295. [PMID: 33460650 PMCID: PMC7949057 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress-regulated protein exhibiting cytoprotective properties through a poorly understood mechanism in various in vitro and in vivo models of neuronal and non-neuronal damage. Although initially characterized as a secreted neurotrophic factor for midbrain dopamine neurons, MANF has recently gained more interest for its intracellular role in regulating the ER homeostasis, including serving as a cofactor of the chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78). We aimed for a better understanding of the neuroprotective mechanisms of MANF. Here we show for the first time that MANF promotes the survival of ER-stressed neurons in vitro as a general unfolded protein response (UPR) regulator, affecting several UPR pathways simultaneously. Interestingly, MANF does not affect naïve neurons. We hypothesize that MANF regulates UPR signaling toward a mode more compatible with neuronal survival. Screening of MANF interacting proteins from two mammalian cell lines revealed a conserved interactome of 15 proteins including several ER chaperones such as GRP78, GRP170, protein disulfide isomerase family A member 1, and protein disulfide isomerase family A member 6. Further characterization confirmed previously published finding that MANF is a cofactor of GRP78 interacting with its nucleotide binding domain. Using microscale thermophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, we discovered that MANF is an ATP binding protein and that ATP blocks the MANF-GRP78 interaction. Interestingly, functional analysis of the antiapoptotic properties of MANF mutants in cultured neurons revealed divergent roles of MANF as a GRP78 cofactor and as an antiapoptotic regulator of UPR. We conclude that the co-factor type interaction with GRP78 is dispensable for the survival-promoting activity of MANF in neurons.

Abstract
The immune system of the sea urchin species Paracentrotus lividus is highly complex and, as yet, poorly understood. P. lividus coelomocytes mediate immune response through phagocytosis and encapsulation of non-self particles, in addition to the production of antimicrobial molecules. Despite this understanding, details of exactly how these processes occur and the mechanisms which drive them are still in need of clarification. In this study, we show how the bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) is able to induce a stress response which increases the levels of the heat shock proteins HSP70 and HSP90 only a few hours after treatment. This study also shows that LPS treatment increases the expression of the β-thymosin-derivated protein paracentrin, the precursor of antimicrobial peptides.

Abstract
Histatins are salivary proteins with antimicrobial activities. We previously reported that histatin 3 binds to heat shock cognate protein 70 (HSC70), which is constitutively expressed, and induces DNA synthesis stimulation and promotes human gingival fibroblast (HGF) survival. However, the underlying mechanisms of histatin 3 remain largely unknown. Here, we found that the KRHH sequence of histatin 3 at the amino acid positions 5-8 was essential for enhancing p27(Kip1) (a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor) binding to HSC70 that occurred in a dose-dependent manner; histatin 3 enhanced the binding between p27(Kip1) and HSC70 during the G1/S transition of HGFs as opposed to histatin 3-M(5-8) (substitution of KRHH for EEDD in histatin 3). Histatin 3, but not histatin 3-M(5-8), stimulated DNA synthesis and promoted HGF survival. Histatin 3 dose-dependently enhanced both p27(Kip1) and HSC70 ubiquitination, whereas histatin 3-M(5-8) did not. These findings provide further evidence that histatin 3 may be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, particularly during G1/S transition, via the ubiquitin-proteasome system of p27(Kip1) and HSC70.

Abstract
The constitutively expressed heat shock protein 70 kDa (Hsc70) is a major chaperone protein responsible for maintaining proteostasis, yet how its structure translates into functional decisions regarding client fate is still unclear. We previously showed that Hsc70 preserved aberrant Tau, but it remained unknown if selective inhibition of the activity of this Hsp70 isoform could facilitate Tau clearance. Using single point mutations in the nucleotide binding domain, we assessed the effect of several mutations on the functions of human Hsc70. Biochemical characterization revealed that one mutation abolished both Hsc70 ATPase and refolding activities. This variant resembled the ADP-bound conformer at all times yet remained able to interact with cofactors, nucleotides, and substrates appropriately, resembling a dominant negative Hsc70 (DN-Hsc70). We then assessed the effects of this DN-Hsc70 on its client Tau. DN-Hsc70 potently facilitated Tau clearance via the proteasome in cells and brain tissue, in contrast to wild type Hsc70 that stabilized Tau. Thus, DN-Hsc70 mimics the action of small molecule pan Hsp70 inhibitors with regard to Tau metabolism. This shift in Hsc70 function by a single point mutation was the result of a change in the chaperome associated with Hsc70 such that DN-Hsc70 associated more with Hsp90 and DnaJ proteins, whereas wild type Hsc70 was more associated with other Hsp70 isoforms. Thus, isoform-selective targeting of Hsc70 could be a viable therapeutic strategy for tauopathies and possibly lead to new insights in chaperone complex biology.

Abstract
Wound repair is a key event in the regeneration mechanisms of echinoderms. We studied, at the behavioural, cellular and molecular levels, the wound healing processes in Holothuria tubulosa after injuries to the body wall. The experiments were performed for periods of up to 72 h, and various coelomocyte counts, as well as the expression of heat shock proteins (HS27, HSP70 and HSP90), were recorded. Dermal wound healing was nearly complete within 72 h. In the early stages, we observed the injured animals twisting their bodies to keep their injuries on the surface of the water for the extrusion of the buccal pedicles. At the cellular level, we found time-dependent variations in the circulating coelomocyte counts. After injury, in particular, we observed a significant increase in spherule cells at 2.5 h post-injury. Using the western blot method, we observed and reported that the wounds produced, compared with controls, a significant increase in HSP27 and HSP70 expression in coelomocytes, whereas HSP70 was increased in scar tissue and HSP90 was increased only in cell-free coelomic fluid. These results highlight that the wounds were responsible for the stress condition with the induction of cellular and biochemical responses.

Abstract
The 70-kDa family of heat-shock proteins (Hsp70) plays an important role in the host immunity, which is widely expressed in eukaryotic cells as a major chaperone protein. In the present study, the full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of a second cognate cytosolic Hsp70 family member (MnHsc70-2) was cloned and characterized from Macrobrachium nipponense, which is an economically and nutritionally important crustacean. The cDNA was 2,717 bp, containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,950 bp, which encodes a protein of 649 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight of 71.1 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.27. Sequence alignment showed that the MnHsc70-2 shared 75-97 % identity with other heat-shock proteins. Compared to the previously identified cognate Hsp70 (MnHsc70-1) in M. nipponense, MnHsc70-2 showed quite different expression profiles under unstressed conditions in all tested tissues, including the hemocytes, heart, hepatopancreas, gill, intestine, nerve, and muscle. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that MnHsc70-2 showed the closest relationship with MnHsc70-1. Heat-inducibility assays showed that two isolated messenger RNAs (mRNAs) displayed different expression profiles in both the hepatopancreas and gill tissues. MnHsc70-1 mRNA expression level decreased at first and then increased to the normal level, whereas MnHsc70-2 mRNA level increased at first and then decreased. The expressions of two MnHsc70s showed substantial obvious heat-inducible regulation in both the hepatopancreas and gill. Under bacterial challenge by Aeromonas hydrophila, both MnHsc70-1 and MnHsc70-2 mRNA level was up-regulated moderately. The results suggested that two cognate Hsc70s may play essential functions in mediating responses to heat-shock and bacterial challenge.

JOURNAL OF INFLAMMATION-LONDON 2014; 11:4.

Abstract
Background Salivary histatins are bioactive peptides related to the innate immune system associated with antimicrobial activities. However, very little is known about the physiological and biological functions of histatins against host cells or their role in oral cell inflammation. Histatin 3 binds to heat shock cognate protein 70 (HSC70, a constitutively expressed heat shock protein (HSP)). It is unclear whether HSC70 is involved in the inflammatory response in oral cells. Injured oral cells release some intracellular proteins including HSC70. It is possible that released HSC70 induces toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, just as extracellular HSP70 (a stress inducible HSP) does, and that histatin 3 affects this process. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that HSC70 activates TLR signaling and histatin 3 inhibits this activation and inflammatory cytokine production. Methods A nuclear factor (NF)-κB-dependent luciferase reporter plasmid was transfected into HEK293 cells stably expressing TLR2 with coreceptor CD14 (293-TLR2/CD14 cells) or stably expressing TLR4 with CD14 and the accessory molecule MD2 (293-TLR4/MD2-CD14 cells). The cells were stimulated with HSC70 in the presence or absence of histatin 3, and examined using luciferase assays. We also stimulated human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) with HSC70 with or without histatin 3. Then, we analyzed the levels of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8) in the culture media. Cell proteins were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting with antibodies of mitogen-activated protein kinases and NF-κB inhibitor IκB-α, respectively. Histatin 3-bound form of HSC70 was analyzed using limited V8 protease proteolysis. Results HSC70 induced NF-κB activation in a dose-dependent manner in 293-TLR2/CD14 and 293-TLR4/MD2-CD14 cells, and histatin 3 inhibited this process and when histatin 3 binding to HSC70 was precluded by 15-deoxyspergualin, which augmented NF-κB-triggered activation. In HGFs, histatin 3 also inhibited HSC70-induced inflammatory cytokine production, extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase phosphorylation, and degradation of IκB-α. Moreover, HSC70 in the presence of histatin 3 was relatively resistant to digestion by V8 protease compared with HSC70 in the presence of control peptide. Conclusions Histatin 3 may be an inhibitor of HSC70-triggered activation of TLR signaling and inflammatory cytokine production and may be involved in inflammation processes noted in oral cells.

Abstract
The serum-free medium from Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infected Baby Hamster Kidney-21 (BHK-21) cell cultures was analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to identify host proteins that were secreted upon viral infection. Five proteins were identified, including the molecular chaperones Hsp90, GRP78, and Hsp70. The functional role of GRP78 in the JEV life cycle was then investigated. Co-migration of GRP78 with JEV particles in sucrose density gradients was observed and co-localization of viral E protein with GRP78 was detected by immunofluorescence analysis in vivo. Knockdown of GRP78 expression by siRNA did not effect viral RNA replication, but did impair mature viral production. Mature viruses that do not co-fractionate with GPR78 displayed a significant decrease in viral infectivity. Our results support the hypothesis that JEV co-opts host cell GPR78 for use in viral maturation and in subsequent cellular infections.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and resulting lipid peroxidation is involved in various and numerous pathological states including inflammation, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. This review is focused on recent advances concerning the formation, metabolism and reactivity towards macromolecules of lipid peroxidation breakdown products, some of which being considered as 'second messengers' of oxidative stress. This review relates also new advances regarding apoptosis induction, survival/proliferation processes and autophagy regulated by 4-hydroxynonenal, a major product of omega-6 fatty acid peroxidation, in relationship with detoxication mechanisms. The use of these lipid peroxidation products as oxidative stress/lipid peroxidation biomarkers is also addressed.

Abstract
Borna disease virus (BDV) is characterized by highly neurotropic infection. BDV enters its target cells using virus surface glycoprotein (G), but the cellular molecules mediating this process remain to be elucidated. We demonstrate here that the N-terminal product of G, GP1, interacts with the 78-kDa chaperone protein BiP. BiP was found at the surface of BDV-permissive cells, and anti-BiP antibody reduced BDV infection as well as GP1 binding to the cell surface. We also reveal that BiP localizes at the synapse of neurons. These results indicate that BiP may participate in the cell surface association of BDV.

Abstract
Genetic and biochemical studies have led to the identification of several cellular pathways for the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur proteins in different organisms. The most broadly distributed and highly conserved system involves an Hsp70 chaperone and J-protein co-chaperone system that interacts with a scaffold-like protein involved in [FeS]-cluster preassembly. Specialized forms of Hsp70 and their co-chaperones have evolved in bacteria (HscA, HscB) and in certain fungi (Ssq1, Jac1), whereas most eukaryotes employ a multifunctional mitochondrial Hsp70 (mtHsp70) together with a specialized co-chaperone homologous to HscB/Jac1. HscA and Ssq1 have been shown to specifically bind to a conserved sequence present in the [FeS]-scaffold protein designated IscU in bacteria and Isu in fungi, and the crystal structure of a complex of a peptide containing the IscU recognition region bound to the HscA substrate binding domain has been determined. The interaction of IscU/Isu with HscA/Ssq1 is regulated by HscB/Jac1 which bind the scaffold protein to assist delivery to the chaperone and stabilize the chaperone-scaffold complex by enhancing chaperone ATPase activity. The crystal structure of HscB reveals that the N-terminal J-domain involved in regulation of HscA ATPase activity is similar to other J-proteins, whereas the C-terminal domain is unique and appears to mediate specific interactions with IscU. At the present time the exact function(s) of chaperone-[FeS]-scaffold interactions in iron-sulfur protein biosynthesis remain(s) to be established. In vivo and in vitro studies of yeast Ssq1 and Jac1 indicate that the chaperones are not required for [FeS]-cluster assembly on Isu. Recent in vitro studies using bacterial HscA, HscB and IscU have shown that the chaperones destabilize the IscU[FeS] complex and facilitate cluster delivery to an acceptor apo-protein consistent with a role in regulating cluster release and transfer. Additional genetic and biochemical studies are needed to extend these findings to mtHsp70 activities in higher eukaryotes.

Abstract
In this work we demonstrated that promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis exhibit an Mg-dependent ecto-ATPase activity, which is stimulated by heat shock. The Mg-dependent ATPase activity of cells grown at 22 and 28 degrees C was 41.0+/-5.2 nmol Pi/h x 10(7)cells and 184.2+/-21.0 nmol Pi/h x 10(7)cells, respectively. When both promastigotes were pre-incubated at 37 degrees C for 2h, the ATPase activity of cells grown at 22 degrees C was increased to 136.4+/-10.6 nmol Pi/h x 10(7) whereas that the ATPase activity of cells grown at 28 degrees C was not modified by the heat shock (189.8+/-10.3 nmol Pi/h x 10(7)cells). It was observed that Km of the enzyme from cells grown at 22 degrees C (Km=980.2+/-88.6 microM) was the same to the enzyme from cells grown at 28 degrees C (Km=901.4+/-91.9 microM). In addition, DIDS (4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene 2,2'-disulfonic acid) and suramin, two inhibitors of ecto-ATPases, also inhibited similarly the ATPase activities from promastigotes grown at 22 and 28 degrees C. We also observed that cells grown at 22 degrees C exhibit the same ecto-phosphatase and ecto 3'- and 5'-nucleotidase activities than cells grown at 28 degrees C. Interestingly, cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, suppressed the heat-shock effect on ecto-ATPase activity of cells grown at 22 degrees C were exposed at 37 degrees C for 2h. A comparison between the stimulation of the Mg-dependent ecto-ATPase activity of virulent and avirulent promastigotes by the heat shock showed that avirulent promastigotes had a higher stimulation than virulent promastigotes after heat stress.

Abstract
Many beneficial properties have been attributed to (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), including chemopreventive, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant actions. In this study, we investigated the effects of EGCG on the function of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), which is associated with the multidrug resistance phenotype of many types of cancer cells. Our investigation was directed at elucidating the mechanism of the EGCG and GRP78 interaction and providing evidence about whether EGCG modulates the activity of anticancer drugs through the inhibition of GRP78 function. We found that EGCG directly interacted with GRP78 at the ATP-binding site of protein and regulated its function by competing with ATP binding, resulting in the inhibition of ATPase activity. EGCG binding caused the conversion of GRP78 from its active monomer to the inactive dimer and oligomer forms. Further, we showed that EGCG interfered with the formation of the antiapoptotic GRP78-caspase-7 complex, which resulted in an increased etoposide-induced apoptosis in cancer cells. We also showed that EGCG significantly suppressed the transformed phenotype of breast cancer cells treated with etoposide. Overall, these results strongly suggested that EGCG could prevent the antiapoptotic effect of GRP78, which usually suppresses the caspase-mediated cell death pathways in drug-treated cancer cells, contributing to the development of drug resistance.

Abstract
We described earlier a novel mode of regulation of Hsp104, a cytosolic chaperone directly involved in the refolding of heat-denatured proteins, and designated it delayed upregulation, or DUR. When Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells grown at the physiological temperature of 24 degrees C, preconditioned at 37 degrees C, and treated briefly at 50 degrees C were shifted back to 24 degrees C, Hsp104 expression was strongly induced after 2.5 h of recovery and returned back to normal after 5 h. Here we show that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones BiP/Kar2p and Lhs1p and the mitochondrial chaperone Hsp78 were also upregulated at the physiological temperature during recovery from thermal insult. The heat shock element (HSE) in the KAR2 promoter was found to be sufficient to drive DUR. The unfolded protein element could also evoke DUR, albeit weakly, in the absence of a functional HSE. BiP/Kar2p functions in ER translocation and assists protein folding. Here we found that the synthesis of new BiP/Kar2p molecules was negligible for more than an hour after the shift of the cells from 50 degrees C to 24 degrees C. Concomitantly, ER translocation was blocked, suggesting that preexisting BiP/Kar2p molecules or other necessary proteins were not functioning. Translocation resumed concomitantly with enhanced synthesis of BiP/Kar2p after 3 h of recovery, after which ER exit and protein secretion also resumed. For a unicellular organism like S. cerevisiae, conformational repair of denatured proteins is the sole survival strategy. Chaperones that refold proteins in the cytosol, ER, and mitochondria of S. cerevisiae appear to be subject to DUR to ensure survival after thermal insults.

Abstract
MTJ-1 associates with a glucose-regulated protein of Mr approximately 78,000(GRP78) in the endoplasmic reticulum and modulates GRP78 activity as a chaperone. GRP78 also exists on the cell surface membrane, where it is associated with a number of functions. MHC class I Ags on the cell surface are complexed to GRP78. GRP78 also serves as the receptor for alpha2-macroglobulin-dependent signaling and for uptake of certain pathogenic viruses. The means by which GRP78, lacking a transmembrane domain, can fulfill such functions is unclear. In this study we have examined the question of whether MTJ-1, a transmembrane protein, is involved in the translocation of GRP78 to the cell surface. MTJ-1 and GRP78 coimmunoprecipitated from macrophage plasma membrane lysates. Silencing of MTJ-1 gene expression greatly reduced MTJ-1 mRNA and protein levels, but also abolished cell surface localization of GRP78. Consequently, binding of the activated and receptor-recognized form of alpha2-macroglobulin to macrophages was greatly reduced, and activated and receptor-recognized form of alpha2-macroglobulin-induced calcium signaling was abolished in these cells. In conclusion, we show that in addition to assisting the chaperone GRP78 in protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum, MTJ-1 is essential for transport of GRP78 to the cell surface, which serves a number of functions in immune regulation and signal transduction.

Abstract
Whereas the stress-inducible heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) has gained plenty of attention as a putative target for tumor therapy, little is known about the role of other Hsp70 proteins in cancer. Here we present the first thorough analysis of the expression and function of the cytosolic Hsp70 proteins in human cancer cells and identify Hsp70-2, a protein essential for spermatogenesis, as an important regulator of cancer cell growth. Targeted knock-down of the individual family members by RNA interference revealed that both Hsp70 and Hsp70-2 were required for cancer cell growth, whereas the survival of tumorigenic as well as nontumorigenic cells depended on Hsc70. Cancer cells depleted for Hsp70 and Hsp70-2 displayed strikingly different morphologies (detached and round vs. flat senescent-like), cell cycle distributions (G2/M vs. G1 arrest) and gene expression profiles. Only Hsp70-2 depletion induced the expression of macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 that was identified as a target of P53 tumor-suppressor protein and a mediator of the G1 arrest and the senescent phenotype. Importantly, concomitant depletion of Hsp70 and Hsp70-2 had a synergistic antiproliferative effect on cancer cells. Thus, highly homologous Hsp70 proteins bring about nonoverlapping functions essential for cell growth and survival.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a functionally defined set of proteins which assist the structure formation of proteins in vivo. Without certain protective mechanisms, such as binding nascent polypeptide chains by molecular chaperones, cellular protein concentrations would lead to misfolding and aggregation. In the mammalian system, the molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 are involved in the folding and maturation of key regulatory proteins, like steroid hormone receptors, transcription factors, and kinases, some of which are involved in cancer progression. Hsp70 and Hsp90 form a multichaperone complex, in which both are connected by a third protein called Hop. The connection of and the interplay between the two chaperone machineries is of crucial importance for cell viability. This review provides a detailed view of the Hsp70 and Hsp90 machineries, their cofactors and their mode of regulation. It summarizes the current knowledge in the field, including the ATP-dependent regulation of the Hsp70/Hsp90 multichaperone cycle and elucidates the complex interplay and their synergistic interaction.

Abstract
A ribosome-associated Hsp70-homologous gene (Rnssb-1) was isolated from the genomic library of the filamentous zygomycete fungus Rhizopus nigricans. The nucleotide sequence of a genomic clone encoded the N-terminal part of a protein with high similarity to the yeast SSB ribosome-associated chaperones. The missing 3' end of the gene was obtained by 3' RACE. The Northern blot analysis showed that the Rnssb-1 gene is constitutively expressed and is not induced upon heat shock at 37 degrees C. The primary structure analyses revealed that the coding region of the Rnssb-1 gene is interrupted by at least four introns. Their splicing was not inhibited by exposure of the organism to heat shock as proven by RT-PCR. A Southern blot analysis of R. nigricans genomic DNA confirmed the presence of two additional gene copies of ribosome-associated Hsp70 genes in the fungal genome.

Abstract
BiP, the Hsp70 homologue of the endoplasmic reticulum, interacts with its non-native substrate proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. This interaction is coupled to the ATPase cycle of the chaperone. Binding of short, synthetic peptides stimulate the ATPase activity of BiP. In previous work, we showed that a stably unfolded antibody domain forms a binary complex with BiP. In this study we made use of this complex to analyse the effect of substrate proteins on the ATPase cycle of BiP. Kinetic constants of the partial reactions of the ATPase cycle were determined without substrate, in the presence of a short binding peptide and in the presence of the antibody domain. We show that, in contrast to smaller peptides, the non-native protein domain decelerates the rate limiting hydrolysis step of the ATPase cycle.

Abstract
Refolding of the acid-unfolded precursor to mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (pmAAT) is inhibited when cytosolic Hsc70 is included in the refolding reaction (Artigues, A., Iriarte, A., and Martinez-Carrion, M. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 16852-16861). At low molar excess of Hsc70 pmAAT is recovered in insoluble aggregates containing equal amounts of Hsc70. However, in the presence of a large excess of Hsc70, refolding of pmAAT is still arrested, but the enzyme remains in solution. Similar behavior was observed with two other cytosolic chaperones, bovine Hsp90 and yeast Ydj1. Coimmunoprecipitation of pmAAT using Hsc70 antibodies confirmed the formation of soluble Hsc70-pmAAT complexes at high concentrations of the chaperone. Data from analytical centrifugation, sedimentation in glycerol gradients, and partial purification of the soluble complexes indicate that multiple Hsc70 molecules bind per pmAAT polypeptide chain. The absence of catalytic activity together with the protease susceptibility of pmAAT bound to Hsc70, Hsp90, or Ydj1 suggest that these chaperones bind and maintain pmAAT in a partially unfolded state, analogous to the import-competent conformation of the protein synthesized in cell-free extracts. Remarkably, the purified pmAAT bound to Hsc70 or Ydj1, but not to Hsp90, is imported by isolated mitochondria in a reticulocyte lysate-dependent manner. Thus, both Hsc70 and Ydj1 can trap an import-competent folding intermediate of pmAAT, but productive binding and import into mitochondria require the collaboration of additional cytosolic factors from the lysate.

Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA), an endogenous signaling molecule of plants, possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic actions in human. Its derivative, aspirin, is the most commonly used anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug. Aspirin and sodium salicylate (salicylates) have been reported to have multiple pharmacological actions. However, it is unclear whether they bind to a cellular protein. Here, we report for the first time the purification from human fibroblasts of a approximately 78 kDa salicylate binding protein with sequence identity to immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein (BiP). The Kd values of SA binding to crude extract and to recombinant BiP were 45.2 and 54.6 microM, respectively. BiP is a chaperone protein containing a polypeptide binding site recognizing specific heptapeptide sequence and an ATP binding site. A heptapeptide with the specific sequence displaced SA binding in a concentration-dependent manner whereas a control heptapeptide did not. Salicylates inhibited ATPase activity stimulated by this specific heptapeptide but did not block ATP binding or induce BiP expression. These results indicate that salicylates bind specifically to the polypeptide binding site of BiP in human cells that may interfere with folding and transport of proteins important in inflammation.

Abstract
Vertebrate cells contain at least 12 different genes for Hsp70 proteins, 3 of which are encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region. In the human MHC, these are named Hsp70-1, -2, and -Hom. To characterize these proteins, we have determined their substrate binding specificity, their cellular and tissue distribution, and the regulation of their expression. We show for the first time (1) peptide binding specificity of Hsp70-Hom; (2) endogenous expression of Hsp70-Hom in human cell lines; (3) cytoplasmic location of Hsp70-Hom protein under basal conditions and concentration in the nucleus after heat shock; (4) unique RNA expression profiles in human tissues for each of the MHC-encoded Hsp70s, significantly different from that for the constitutive Hsc70; (5) a relative increase in levels of Hsp70-Hom protein, compared with other Hsp70s, in response to interferon gamma; and (6) a specific increase on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment of in vivo messenger RNA levels for the MHC-encoded Hsp70s and the DnaJ homologue, hdj2, relative to other chaperones. The unique tissue distributions and specific up-regulation by LPS of the MHC-encoded Hsp70s suggest some specialization of functions for these members of the Hsp70 family, possibly in the inflammatory response.

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

Abstract
Hsp90 is an abundant molecular chaperone that functions in an ATP-dependent manner in vivo. The ATP-binding site is located in the N-terminal domain of Hsp90. Here, we dissect the ATPase cycle of Hsp90 kinetically. We find that Hsp90 binds ATP with a two-step mechanism. The rate-limiting step of the ATPase cycle is the hydrolysis of ATP. Importantly, ATP becomes trapped and committed to hydrolyze during the cycle. In the isolated ATP-binding domain of Hsp90, however, the bound ATP was not committed and the turnover numbers were markedly reduced. Analysis of a series of truncation mutants of Hsp90 showed that C-terminal regions far apart in sequence from the ATP-binding domain are essential for trapping the bound ATP and for maximum hydrolysis rates. Our results suggest that ATP binding and hydrolysis drive conformational changes that involve the entire molecule and lead to repositioning of the N and C-terminal domains of Hsp90.

Abstract
To elucidate the potential role of the hsp70 gene family in developmental processes in vertebrates, we chose to study the expression of one of these genes in zebrafish. A zebrafish gastrula cDNA library was screened with a Pleurodeles waltl hsp70 cDNA probe. A 2.3-kb cDNA was thus isolated and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence contained an open reading frame encoding for a 649-amino acid polypeptide. Sequence analysis showed strong homology with hsp70-related gene sequences in other species; in particular, the strongest homology was found with the cognate members of this family. Tests of heat inducibility revealed that transcripts were expressed at normal temperature, but the level of transcript expression increased after heat shock. Moreover, experiments of the neosynthesis of total proteins in heat shock conditions and corresponding immunoblotting assays showed that 24-h-stage embryos are able to respond to heat shock. The quantity of 70 kDa proteins, recognized by a specific antibody of the HSP/C70 protein family, is expressed in control condition and increased significantly after heat shock. Furthermore, Northern blot analysis of transcript expression showed that the corresponding mRNAs were detected throughout embryonic development in the absence of any heat shock. Our clone, named hsc70, thus corresponded to a cognate member of the hsp70 gene family, expressed under normal conditions during development, but also heat inducible. The spatio-temporal pattern of transcripts during development was determined by in situ hybridization on wholemount embryos at different stages. As a maternal RNA, hsc70 mRNA was uniformly present in the embryo, up to the end of gastrulation. Later, a tissue-specific enrichment of hsc70 transcripts was detected in the central nervous system (CNS) and in a fraction of the somites. These results suggest that the hsc70 gene may be involved in developmental differentiation events.

Abstract
BiP, an HSP70 molecular chaperone located in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), binds newly-synthesized proteins as they are translocated into the ER and maintains them in a state competent for subsequent folding and oligomerization. BiP is also an essential component of the translocation machinery, as well as playing a role in retrograde transport across the ER membrane of aberrant proteins destined for degradation by the proteasome. BiP is an abundant protein under all growth conditions, but its synthesis is markedly induced under conditions that lead to the accumulation of unfolded polypeptides in the ER. This attribute provides a marker for disease states that result from misfolding of secretory and transmembrane proteins.

Abstract
Defects in apoptosis signaling pathways are common in cancer cells. Such defects may play an important role in tumor initiation because apoptosis normally eliminates cells with damaged DNA or dysregulated cell cycle, i.e., cells with increased malignant potential. Moreover, impaired apoptosis may enhance tumor progression and promote metastasis by enabling tumor cells to survive the transit in the bloodstream and to grow in ectopic tissue sites lacking the otherwise required survival factors. Finally, raised apoptosis threshold may have deleterious consequences by rendering cancer cells resistant to various forms of therapy. The intensive apoptosis research during the past decade has resulted in the identification of several proteins which may promote tumorigenesis by inhibiting apoptosis. Of special relevance in human cancer are those commonly expressed in primary tumors and functioning at the common part of the signaling pathway leading to apoptosis. Proteins fulfilling these criteria include antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family, heat shock proteins, Hsp70 and Hsp27, as well as survivin, the novel cancer-associated member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of action of these proteins may offer novel modes of rationally and selectively manipulating the sensitivity of cancer cells to therapy.

Abstract
The cytosolic 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s), Ssa and Ssb, of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are functionally distinct. Here we report that the ATPase activities of these two classes of Hsp70s exhibit different kinetic properties. The Ssa ATPase has properties similar to those of other Hsp70s studied, such as DnaK and Hsc70. Ssb, however, has an unusually low steady-state affinity for ATP but a higher maximal velocity. In addition, the ATPase activity of Hsp70s, like that of Ssa1, depends on the addition of K+ whereas Ssb activity does not. Suprisingly, the isolated 44-kDa ATPase domain of Ssb has a Km and Vmax for ATP hydrolysis similar to those of Ssa, rather than those of full length Ssb. Analysis of Ssa/Ssb fusion proteins demonstrates that the Ssb peptide-binding domain fused to the Ssa ATPase domain generates an ATPase of relatively high activity and low steady-state affinity for ATP similar to that of native Ssb. Therefore, at least some of the biochemical differences between the ATPases of these two classes of Hsp70s are not intrinsic to the ATPase domain itself. The differential influence of the peptide-binding domain on the ATPase domain may, in part, explain the functional uniqueness of these two classes of Hsp70s.

Abstract
Cytosolic Hsc70 discriminates between the homologous mitochondrial and cytosolic isozymes of aspartate aminotransferase, binding exclusively the mitochondrial form. By screening a library of synthetic peptides spanning the sequence of the mitochondrial enzyme, we have identified binding sites in this polypeptide that interact with Hsc70. These potential binding sites are scattered over the entire sequence and map to secondary structure elements, particularly the alpha-helix, that are partly exposed on the surface of the native protein. Several peptides corresponding to analogous positions in the cytosolic enzyme sequence do not bind to Hsc70. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that Hsc70 binding sequences have diverged as a consequence of biochemical specialization ensuring differential interaction of each isozyme with the cellular machinery in charge of protein folding and translocation.

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

Abstract
The 150-kDa oxygen-regulated protein (ORP150) first was described with reference to the central nervous system in cultured astrocytes subjected to dense hypoxia. Subsequently its transcript was found in macrophages within human aortic atherosclerotic plaques, suggesting a role in protecting cells under hypoxic stress. In a mouse model of permanent focal brain ischemia, we aimed to elucidate the constitutive cellular localization in vivo of ORP150 in the central nervous system as well as the sequential alteration in its mRNA and protein expression during this severe ischemic insult. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that ORP150 protein normally is present predominantly in neurons. The 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein, which is another well-known stress protein retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, also was stained in neurons. During the first 3 h after ischemia, ORP150 antigenicity was markedly enhanced in severely damaged neurons, while the amount of the glucose-regulated protein was decreased. Preceding this change, orp150 mRNA was selectively induced in neurons undergoing postischemic cytoskeletal proteolysis, as early as 1 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion. These results indicated that ORP150 might be regulated by transcriptional level as for many stress proteins, but unlike previously described other stress proteins it was translated in the center of ischemic lesions despite nearly complete energy depletion. In this paper, the biological potentials of ORP150 protein in the setting of brain ischemia in vivo will also be discussed.

Abstract
The cytosolic (cAAT) and mitochondrial (mAAT) isozymes of eukaryotic aspartate aminotransferase share a high degree of sequence identity and almost identical three-dimensional structure. The rat liver proteins can be refolded and reassembled into active dimers after unfolding at low pH. However, refolding of the mitochondrial form after unfolding at pH 2.0 is arrested in the presence of hsp70, whereas this chaperone does not affect the refolding of the cytosolic isozyme unfolded under similar conditions. To elucidate the nature of the differential interaction between hsp70 and the two transaminase forms, we have characterized their refolding from their acid-unfolded states. The recovery of activity of the cytosolic enzyme is monophasic and can be adequately described by a single first-order reaction. By contrast, two sequential first-order rate-limiting steps can be detected for the refolding and reactivation of the mitochondrial protein. The overall refolding pathway of mAAT includes a very fast collapse to an intermediate with 80% of the secondary structure of the active dimer. This is followed by a slow isomerization to form assembly-competent monomers that rapidly associate to form an inactive dimer and a final structural rearrangement of the dimer to the native conformation. Analysis of the interaction of hsp70 with intermediates along the folding pathway of mAAT shows that the polypeptide loses its ability to bind to the chaperone after it has proceeded through the first isomerization/fast dimerization steps. Thus it appears that only the first collapsed intermediate states in the folding of mAAT bind hsp70. By contrast a faster refolding of cAAT from this collapsed state could explain, at least in part, the inability of hsp70 to bind this isozyme.

Abstract
The hscA and hscB genes of Escherichia coli encode novel chaperone and co-chaperone proteins, designated Hsc66 and Hsc20, respectively. We have overproduced and purified Hsc66 and Hsc20 in high yield in E. coli and describe their initial characterization including absorbance, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectra. Immunoblot analyses of E. coli cultures using antisera to Hsc66 and Hsc20 raised in rabbits establish that Hsc66 and Hsc20 are constitutively expressed at levels corresponding to cell concentration approximately 20 microM and approximately 10 microM, respectively. The levels do not change appreciably following heat shock (44 degrees C), but a small increase in Hsc20 is observed following a shift to 10 degrees C. Purified Hsc66 exhibits a low intrinsic ATPase activity (approximately 0.6 min-1 at 37 degrees C), and Hsc20 was found to stimulate this activity up to 3.8-fold with half-maximal stimulation at a concentration approximately 5 microM. These findings suggest that Hsc66 and Hsc20 comprise a molecular chaperone system similar to the prokaryotic DnaK/DnaJ and eukaryotic hsp70/hsp40 systems. Sequence differences between Hsc66 and Hsc20 compared to other members of this chaperone family, however, suggest that the Hsc66/Hsc20 system will display different peptide binding specificity and that it is likely to be subject to different regulatory mechanisms. The high level of constitutive expression and the lack of a major response to temperature changes suggest that Hsc66 and Hsc20 play an important cellular role(s) under non-stress conditions.

Abstract
Secondary cell damage after ATP depletion due to hypoxia or ischemia is clinically important because it correlates with residual effects; post-hypoxic-ischemic fits can be associated with later cerebral palsy. The mechanisms involved in delayed secondary cell damage are not clear, possibly because extensive relevant evidence is often fragmented. However, a sequence of changes can be suggested; this cross-linked sequence is tentatively outlined in this review. The outline suggests explanations for otherwise ill-understood clinical disturbances such as the loss of inhibitory control in damaged cells and the well documented reduction of cellular ATP. Loss of control may be due to reduced synthesis of control proteins and the reduced ATP concentration may be due to increased energy consumption.

Abstract
The nuclear heat shock gene HSP70B of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is inducible by heat stress and light. Induction by either environmental cue resulted in a transient elevation in HSP70B protein. Here we describe the organization and nucleotide sequence of the HSP70B gene. The deduced protein exhibits a distinctly higher homology to prokaryotic HSP70s than to those of eukaryotes, including the cytosolic HSP70A of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The HSP70B protein, as previously demonstrated by in vitro translation, is synthesized with a cleavable presequence. Using an HSP70B-specific antibody, this heat shock protein was localized to the chloroplast by cell fractionation experiments. A stromal location was suggested by the presence of a conserved sequence motif used for cleavage of presequences by a signal peptidase of the stroma. Amino acid alignments of HSP70 proteins from various organisms and different cellular compartments allowed the identification of sequence motifs, which are diagnostic for HSP70s of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.

Abstract
In a previous study, we showed that the molecular chaperone HSC70 self-associates in solution in a reversible and likely unlimited fashion. Here, we examine the influence of nucleotides, nucleotide analogs, peptides, and unfolded proteins on the self-association properties of this protein. Whereas in the presence of ADP, HSC70 exists as a slow, concentration- and temperature-dependent monomer-oligomer equilibrium, in the presence of ATP, the protein is essentially monomeric, indicating that ATP shifts this equilibrium toward the monomer by stabilizing the monomer. Dissociation of oligomers into monomers is also obtained with the slowly hydrolyzable ATP analogs, adenosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) and 5'-adenylyl-beta,gamma-imidodiphosphate, or the complex between ADP and the phosphate analog, BeF3, indicating that binding but not hydrolysis of ATP is necessary and sufficient for the stabilization of HSC70 monomer. Furthermore, binding of short peptides or permanently unfolded proteins to the peptide binding site of HSC70 promotes the dissociation of oligomers into monomers, suggesting that protein substrates are able to compete with HSC70 for the same binding site. Because the release of peptides or unfolded proteins from HSC70 has also been shown to require ATP binding, these results indicate that dissociation of oligomers is controlled by a mechanism similar to that of release of protein substrates and suggest that binding of HSC70 to itself occurs via the peptide binding site and mimics binding of HSC70 to protein substrates.

Abstract
It has been proposed that lysine 71 of the bovine 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein might participate in catalysis of ATP hydrolysis by stabilizing an H2O molecule or an OH- ion for nucleophilic attack on the gamma-phosphate of the nucleotide (Flaherty, K. M., Wilbanks, S. M., DeLuca-Flaherty, C., and McKay, D. B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 12899-12907; Wilbanks, S. M., DeLuca-Flaherty, C., and McKay, D. B. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 12893-12898). To test this hypothesis, lysine 71 of the ATPase fragment 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein has been mutated to glutamic acid, methionine, and alanine; and the kinetic and structural properties of the mutant proteins have been determined. All three mutant proteins are devoid of measurable ATP hydrolysis activity. Crystal structures of the mutant proteins have been determined to a resolution of 1.7 A; all three have ATP in the nucleotide binding site. These data identify lysine 71 as a residue that is essential for chemical hydrolysis of ATP.

Abstract
The synthesis and turnover of heat shock proteins (Hsps) by Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease spirochete, was investigated by radiolabeling of whole spirochetes and spheroplasts, comparison of one- and two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and use of immunochemistry. The approximately 72-kDa DnaK homolog and three additional Hsps of 39, 27, and 21 kDa increased in amount by 3- to 15-fold between 2 and 6 h following temperature upshift from 28 to 39 degrees C. Temperature downshift experiments following the transfer of spirochetes from 40 to 28 degrees C showed that within 15 to 30 min, synthesis of most of the major Hsps returned to levels seen in spirochetes statically maintained at the lower temperature. Spheroplasts of B. burgdorferi produced by treatment with EDTA and lysozyme were radiolabeled, and specific Hsps were localized to either the cytoplasm or membrane fraction. Further analysis by two-dimensional electrophoresis demonstrated three constitutively expressed DnaK isoforms with pIs near 5.5. A pattern suggestive of DnaK degradation was observed following recovery from heat shock but not in spirochetes maintained entirely at a low temperature. Some of these putative degradation products were recognized by monoclonal antibodies directed against the B. burgdorferi DnaK protein. These data suggest that following a period of peak synthesis, DnaK is actively degraded as the spirochete reestablishes its metabolic thermometer. These findings provide a new interpretation of previous work suggesting that 10 to 15 B. burgdorferi polypeptides, including DnaK have a common epitope.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein consists of two homologous halves, each composed of a transmembrane domain and a nucleotide-binding domain. In order to understand how the domains interact in P-glycoprotein, we expressed each domain as a separate polypeptide and tested for associations using coimmunoprecipitation assays. We found that the interactions between the two halves of P-glycoprotein were mediated through associations between the two transmembrane domains as well as through the nucleotide-binding domains. In addition, the nucleotide-binding domain also associated with the transmembrane domain in each half of the molecule. By contrast, we could not detect any association either between the first nucleotide-binding domain and the second transmembrane domain, or between the second nucleotide-binding domain and the first transmembrane domain. We then tested whether individual domains associated with molecular chaperones, since biogenesis of P-glycoprotein appears to involve the chaperones calnexin and Hsc70. We found that calnexin associated only with the transmembrane domains, while Hsc70 associated only with the nucleotide-binding domains. These results suggest that noncovalent interaction between the domains of P-glycoprotein can contribute to structure and function of P-glycoprotein and that chaperones may participate in the folding of each domain.

Abstract
hsp70 proteins of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes possess both ATPase and peptide binding activities. These two activities are crucial for the chaperone activity of hsp70 proteins. The activity of DnaK, the primary hsp70 of Escherichia coli, is modulated by the GrpE and DnaJ proteins. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the predominant cytosolic hsp70, Ssa1p, interacts with a DnaJ homologue, Ydj1p. In order to better understand the function of the Ssa1p/Ydj1p chaperone, the effects of polypeptide substrates and Ydj1p on Ssa1p ATPase activity were assessed using a combination of steady-state kinetic analysis and single turnover substrate hydrolysis experiments. Polypeptide substrates and Ydj1p both serve to stimulate ATPase activity of Ssa1p. The two types of effector are biochemically distinct, each conferring a characteristic K+ dependence on Ssa1p ATPase activity. However, in single turnover ATP hydrolysis experiments, both polypeptide substrates and Ydj1p destabilized the ATP.Ssa1p complex through a combination of accelerated hydrolysis of bound ATP and accelerated release of ATP from Ssa1p. The acceleration of ATP release by Ydj1p is a previously unidentified function of a DnaJ homologue. In the case of Ydj1p-stimulated Ssa1p, steady-state ATPase activity is increased less than 2-fold at physiological K+ concentrations, despite a 15-fold increase in the hydrolysis of bound ATP. The primary effect of Ydj1p appears to be to disfavor an ATP form of Ssa1p. On the other hand, peptide stimulation of Ssa1p ATPase activity was enhanced at physiological K+ concentrations, supporting the idea that cycles of ATP hydrolysis play an important role in the interaction of hsp70 with polypeptide substrates. The enhanced ATP dissociation caused by both polypeptide substrates and Ydj1p may play a role in the regulation of Ssa1p chaperone activity by altering the relative abundance of ATP-and ADP-bound forms.

Abstract
Several functions of the 70-kilodalton heat shock cognate protein (Hsc70), such as peptide binding/release and clathrin uncoating, have been shown to require potassium ions. We have examined the effect of monovalent ions on the ATPase activity of Hsc70. The steady-state ATPase activities of Hsc70 and its amino-terminal 44-kDa ATPase fragment are minimal in the absence of K+ and reach a maximum at approximately 0.1 M [K+]. Activation of the ATPase turnover correlates with the ionic radii of monovalent ions; those that are at least 0.3 A smaller (Na+ and Li+) or larger (Cs+) than K+ show negligible activation, whereas ions with radii differing only approximately 0.1 A from that of K+ (NH4+ and Rb+) activate to approximately half the turnover rate observed with K+. Single turnover experiments with Hsc70 demonstrate that ATP hydrolysis is 5-fold slower with Na+ than with K+. The equilibrium binding of ADP or ATP to Hsc70 is unperturbed when K+ is replaced with Na+. These results are consistent with a role for monovalent ions as specific cofactors in the enzymatic hydrolysis of ATP.

Abstract
Steady-state kinetic, pre-steady-state kinetic, and equilibrium binding measurements have been applied to determine the rate constants of individual steps of the ATPase cycle for the recombinant bovine 70 kDa heat shock cognate protein and its amino-terminal 44 kDa ATPase fragment. At 25 degrees C, pH 7.0, in the presence of 75 mM KCl and 4.5 mM Mg2+, the measured association rate constants for MgATP approximately hsc70 and MgADP approximately hsc70 are (2.7 +/- 0.5) x 10(5) and (4.1 +/- 0.5) x 10(5) M-1 s-1, respectively, while the dissociation rate constants are 0.0114 (+/- 0.0002) and 0.0288 (+/- 0.0018) s-1, respectively. MgATP (Kd = 0.042 microM) therefore binds to hsc70 more tightly than MgADP (Kd = 0.11 microM). ADP release is inhibited by inorganic phosphate (Pi), suggesting that product dissociation is ordered with Pi released first and ADP second. The rate of chemical hydrolysis of ATP is 0.0030 (+/- 0.0003) s-1 for hsc70 and 0.0135 (+/- 0.0033) s-1 for the 44 kDa fragment. The rate of Pi release is 0.0038 (+/- 0.0010) s-1 for hsc70 and 0.0051 (+/- 0.0006) s-1 for the 44 kDa fragment. For the 44 kDa fragment, Pi release is the slowest step in the ATPase cycle, while for hsc70, Pi release and chemical hydrolysis of MgATP have similar rates; in both cases, ADP release is a relatively rapid step in the ATPase cycle.
