Abstract
Proteins exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in vesicles pinching off from the membrane at sites covered by the COPII coat, which consists of Sec23/24p and Sec13/31p. We have shown that the glycoprotein Hsp150 exits the ER in the absence of Sec13p or any member of the Sec24p family. The determinant responsible for this resides in the C-terminal domain of Hsp150 (CTD). Here, A- and B-type Walker motifs were identified in the CTD. Authentic Hsp150 from the yeast culture medium, as well as Hsp150 and the CTD fragment produced in Escherichia coli, exhibited ATPase activity nearly three times higher than the published activity of the ER chaperone Kar2p/BiP. Deletion of the Walker motif, and a K335A mutation in it, abolished the ATPase activity. Hsp150 homologues Pir3p and Pir4p, differing in critical amino acids of the Walker motif, also lacked ATPase activity. Unexpectedly, inactivation of the ATPase activity blocked ER exit of Hsp150 in the absence of Sec24p or Sec13p function, whereas secretion in normal cells was not compromised. To our knowledge this is the first documentation of the ATPase activity of a protein serving an intracellular transport function.

Abstract
p97/valosin-containing protein (VCP) is a member of the AAA family proteins, which plays various important roles in cells by using its ATPase activity. But mechanism of regulating its ATPase activity is mostly unknown. We report here that VCP is highly modified throughout the protein via acetylation and phosphorylation. In addition to six previously identified phosphorylation sites, we identified at least 14 serines, 14 threonines, 6 tyrosines and 22 lysines as potential modification sites. Interestingly, these sites included Lys251 and Lys524, which are very critical for the ATP binding in Walker A motif of D1 and D2 domains, respectively. It is notable that 16 sites are in the N-terminal region and 16 sites are clustered in D2alpha domain (from Pro646 to Gly765). Indeed, amino acid substitution of Lys696 and Thr761 profoundly affect VCP ATPase activities. From these results, we propose that D2alpha domain acts as a VCP ATPase Regulatory domain or "VAR domain". VCP modifications including those in this VAR domain may endorse adaptive and multiple functions to VCP in different cell conditions such as in the cell cycle and with abnormal protein accumulation.

Abstract
DnaJ proteins often bind to unfolded substrates and recruit their Hsp70 partners. This induces a conformational change in the Hsp70 that stabilizes its binding to substrate. By some unknown mechanism, the DnaJ protein is released. We examined the requirements for the release of ERdj3, a mammalian ER DnaJ, from substrates and found that BiP promoted the release of ERdj3 only in the presence of ATP. Mutations in ERdj3 or BiP that disrupted their interaction interrupted the release of ERdj3. BiP mutants that were defective in any step of the ATPase cycle were also unable to release ERdj3. These results demonstrate that a functional interaction between ERdj3 and BiP, including both a direct interaction and the ability to stimulate BiP's ATPase activity are required to release ERdj3 from substrate and support a model where ERdj3 must recruit BiP and stimulate its high-affinity association with the substrate through activation of ATP hydrolysis to trigger its own release from substrates. On the basis of similarities among DnaJs and Hsp70s, this is likely to be applicable to other Hsp70-DnaJ pairs.

Abstract
Numerous xenobiotics, including therapeutics agents, are substrates for bioactivation to electrophilic reactive intermediates that may covalently modify biomolecules. Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are in clinical use for long-term therapy of postmenopausal syndromes and chemoprevention and provide a potential alternative for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Raloxifene, in common with many SERMs and other xenobiotics, is a polyaromatic phenol that has been shown to be metabolically bioactivated to electrophilic and redox active quinoids. Nucleic acid and glutathione adduct formation have been reported, but little is known about protein covalent modification. A novel COATag (covert oxidatively activated tag) was synthesized in which raloxifene was linked to biotin. The COATag was reactive toward a model protein, human glutathione-S-transferase P1-1, in the presence but not the absence of monooxygenase. The covalent modification of proteins in rat liver microsomal incubations was NADPH-dependent implicating cytochrome P450 oxidase. The COATag facilitated isolation and identification of covalently modified microsomal proteins: cytosolic glucose regulated protein (GRP78/BiP), three protein disulfide isomerases, and microsomal glutathione S-transferase 1. Oxidative metabolism of raloxifene produces reactive intermediates of sufficient lifetimes to covalently modify proteins in tissue microsomes, behavior anticipated for other polyaromatic phenol xenobiotics that can be tested by the COATag methodology. The combined use of a COATag with a simple biotin-linked electrophile (such as an iodoacetamide tag) is a new technique that allows quantification of protein covalent modification via alkylation vs oxidation in response to xenobiotic reactive intermediates. The identification of modified proteins is important for defining pathways that might lead alternatively to either cytotoxicity or cytoprotection.

Abstract
Valosin-containing protein (p97/VCP) has been proposed as playing crucial roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as cancer and neurodegeneration. We previously showed that VCP(K524A), an ATPase activity-negative VCP mutant, induced vacuolization, accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, and cell death, phenotypes commonly observed in neurodegenerative disorders. However, any regulatory mechanism of its ATPase activity has not yet been clarified. Here, we show that oxidative stress readily inactivates VCP ATPase activity. With liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry, we found that at least three cysteine residues were modified by oxidative stress. Of them, the 522nd cysteine (Cys-522) was identified as the site responsible for the oxidative inactivation of VCP. VCP(C522T), a single-amino acid substitution mutant from cysteine to threonine, conferred almost complete resistance to the oxidative inactivation. In response to oxidative stress, VCP strengthened the interaction with Npl4 and Ufd1, both of which are essential in endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation. Cys-522 is located in the second ATP binding motif and is highly conserved in multicellular but not unicellular organisms. Cdc48p (yeast VCP) has threonine in the corresponding amino acid, and it showed resistance to the oxidative inactivation in vitro. Furthermore, a yeast mutant (delta cdc48 + cdc48[T532C]) was shown to be susceptible to oxidants-induced growth inhibition and cell death. These results clearly demonstrate that VCP ATPase activity is regulated by the oxidative modification of the Cys-522 residue. This regulatory mechanism may play a key role in the conversion of oxidative stress to endoplasmic reticulum stress response in multicellular organisms and also in the pathological process of various neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Protein folding in the cell involves the action of different molecular chaperones and folding-facilitating enzymes. In the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the folding status of glycoproteins is stringently controlled by a glucosyltranferase enzyme (GT) that creates monoglucosylated structures recognized by ER resident lectins (calnexincalreticulin, CNXCRT). GT serves as a folding sensor because it only glucosylates misfolded or partly folded glycoproteins. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism behind this recognition process remains largely unknown. In this paper we explore the structural determinants for GT recognition by using a single domain model protein. For this purpose we used a family of chemically glycosylated proteins derived from chymotrypsin inhibitor-2 as GT substrates. Structural characterization of species showing higher glucose acceptor capacity suggests that GT recognizes solvent accessible hydrophobic patches in molten globule-like conformers mimicking intermediate folding stages of nascent glycoproteins. It was further confirmed that BiP (binding protein, a chaperone of the heat shock protein 70 family) preferentially recognized neoglycoproteins displaying extended conformations, thus providing a molecular rationale for the sequential BiP-CNXCRT interaction with folding glycoproteins observed in vivo.

Abstract
The Escherichia coli chromosome contains several uncharacterized heat-inducible loci that may encode novel molecular chaperones or proteases. Here we show that the 31-kDa product of the yedU gene is an efficient homodimeric molecular chaperone that is conserved in a number of pathogenic eubacteria and fungi. Heat shock protein (Hsp) 31 relies on temperature-driven conformational changes to expose structured hydrophobic domains that are likely responsible for substrate binding. Complementing the function of refolding, remodeling, and holding chaperones, Hsp 31 preferentially interacts with early unfolding intermediates and rapidly releases them in an active form after transfer to low temperatures. Although Hsp 31 does not appear to exhibit intrinsic ATPase activity, binding of ATP at high temperatures restricts the size or availability of the substrate binding site, thereby modulating chaperone activity. The possible role of ATP in coordinating the function of the cellular complement of molecular chaperones is discussed.

Abstract
The activity of Hsp70 proteins is regulated by accessory proteins, which include members of the DnaJ-like protein family. Characterized by the presence of a highly conserved 70-amino acid J domain, DnaJ homologues activate the ATPase activity of Hsp70 proteins and stabilize their interaction with unfolded substrates. DnaJ homologues have been identified in most organelles where they are involved in nearly all aspects of protein synthesis and folding. Within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), DnaJ homologues have also been shown to assist in the translocation, secretion, retro-translocation, and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of secretory pathway proteins. By using bioinformatic methods, we identified a novel mammalian DnaJ homologue, ERdj4. It is the first ER-localized type II DnaJ homologue to be reported. The signal sequence of ERdj4 remains uncleaved and serves as a membrane anchor, orienting its J domain into the ER lumen. ERdj4 co-localized with GRP94 in the ER and associated with BiP in vivo when they were co-expressed in COS-1 cells. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the J domain of ERdj4 stimulated the ATPase activity of BiP in a concentration-dependent manner. However, mutation of the hallmark tripeptide HPD (His --> Gln) in the J domain totally abolished this activation. ERdj4 mRNA expression was detected in all human tissues examined but showed the highest level of the expression in the liver, kidney, and placenta. We found that ERdj4 was highly induced at both the mRNA and protein level in response to ER stress, indicating that this protein might be involved in either protein folding or ER-associated degradation.

Abstract
Hsp70s perform many functions in the cell through their ATPase activity that is stimulated by a genuine partner that contains a highly conserved so called J-domain. Here we report the cloning and characterization of a new J-domain protein named MmDjC7. The complete cDNA encodes a putative soluble 22 kDa protein that contains a conserved J-domain, but lacks the G/F- and C-rich regions found in the bacterial Escherichia coli DnaJ. Northern analysis revealed that mmDjC7 mRNA (0.9 kb) is most abundant in the heart and liver tissues. Recombinant hexahistidine tagged MmDjC7 (25 kDa) was efficiently expressed in E. coli and purified to homogeneity. MmDjC7 stimulates the ATPase activity of murine BiP, Hsc70 and E. coli DnaK, albeit with very different molar ratios that vary from 1:2 (for BiP/MmDjC7) to 1:10 (for DnaK/MmDjC7). MmDjC7 thus appears to be a new J-domain protein that can possibly interact with more than one Hsp70.

Abstract
Mammalian BiP/GRP78 and Escherichia coli DnaK belong to the highly conserved hsp70 family and function as molecular chaperones in the endoplasmic reticulum or the cytosol, respectively. Induction of murine BiP/GRP78 expression in E. coli leads to growth arrest and cell death, independent of the bacterial strain and vector used. Analysis of various BiP constructs and mutants shows that the dominant-lethal phenotype is induced specifically by the expression of the 13.7-kDa C-terminal domain and abolished by a single substitution in that region. Deletion of that region also results in nontoxic gene products that can be overexpressed and purified to homogeneity. The nontoxic mutants are highly expressed in E. coli, representing up to 20% of the soluble fraction. They are catalytically active, depolymerize upon binding ATP or synthetic peptide, and interact with the J-domain of the DnaJ-like accessory protein, MTJ1, with near wild-type affinity. Our data indicate that the cytotoxic effect encountered during overexpression of recombinant proteins can be caused by a single domain and can be alleviated by a specific mutation or deletion in that region without altering the catalytic properties of the enzyme.

Abstract
The activity of Hsp70 proteins is regulated by accessory proteins, among which the most studied are the members of the DnaJ-like protein family. BiP/GRP78 chaperones the translocation and maturation of secreted and membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. No DnaJ-like partner has been described so far to regulate the function of mammalian BiP/GRP78. We show here that murine BiP/GRP78 interacts with the lumenal J domain of the murine transmembrane protein MTJ1 (J-MTJ1). J-MTJ1 stimulates the ATPase activity of BiP/GRP78 at stoichiometric concentrations. The C-terminal tail of BiP/GRP78 is not required for the interaction with J-MTJ1, leaving the function of this portion of the molecule still unclear. Physical interactions between J-MTJ1 and BiP/GRP78 are stable and can be abolished by a single histidine --> glutamine substitution in the highly conserved HPD motif shared by all DnaJ-like proteins. The J-MTJ1 fragment, but not the mutant J-MTJ1:H89Q fragment, stimulates the ATPase activity of Escherichia coli DnaK, although at a higher concentration than its genuine partner DnaJ. Full-length DnaJ does not stimulate BiP over the range of concentrations investigated. These results indicate that the J domain of MTJ1 is sufficient for its interaction with BiP/GRP78 and cannot be substituted by E. coli DnaJ.

Abstract
Immunoelectron microscopy has shown that morphogenesis of spindle bodies (SB) of Heliothis armigera entomopoxvirus involves an iterative process of condensation, aggregation, and crystallization of the major constituent protein (fusolin) within the perinuclear space and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of infected cells and in vesicles derived from ER constituents. The ER-specific chaperone BiP has been observed to be associated with developing SBs at all stages of this process, and it is postulated that its sequestration within these bodies may have consequences for host cell metabolism.
