Abstract
The chaperone heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and its network of co-chaperones serve as a central hub of cellular protein quality control mechanisms. Domain organization in Hsp70 dictates ATPase activity, ATP dependent allosteric regulation, client/substrate binding and release, and interactions with co-chaperones. The protein quality control activities of Hsp70 are classified as foldase, holdase, and disaggregase activities. Co-chaperones directly assisting protein refolding included J domain proteins and nucleotide exchange factors. However, co-chaperones can also be grouped and explored based on which domain of Hsp70 they interact. Here we discuss how the network of cytosolic co-chaperones for Hsp70 contributes to the functions of Hsp70 while closely looking at their structural features. Comparison of domain organization and the structures of co-chaperones enables greater understanding of the interactions, mechanisms of action, and roles played in protein quality control.

Abstract
HSPA9, the gene coding for the mitochondrial chaperone mortalin, is involved in various cellular roles such as mitochondrial protein import, folding, degradation, Fe-S cluster biogenesis, mitochondrial homeostasis, and regulation of the antiapoptotic protein p53. Mutations in the HSPA9 gene, particularly within the region coding for the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), cause the autosomal disorder known as EVEN-PLUS syndrome. The resulting mutants R126W and Y128C are located on the surface of the mortalin-NBD near the binding interface with the interdomain linker (IDL). We used differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF), biolayer interferometry, X-ray crystallography, ATP hydrolysis assays, and Rosetta docking simulations to study the structural and functional consequences of the EVEN-PLUS syndrome-associated R126W and Y128C mutations within the mortalin-NBD. These results indicate that the surface mutations R126W and Y128C have far-reaching effects that disrupt ATP hydrolysis, interdomain linker binding, and thermostability and increase the propensity for aggregation. The structural differences observed provide insight into how the conformations of mortalin differ from other heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) homologues. Combined, our biophysical and structural studies contribute to the understanding of the molecular basis for how disease-associated mortalin mutations affect mortalin functionality and the pathogenesis of EVEN-PLUS syndrome.

Abstract
The ATPase cycle of Hsp70 chaperones controls their transient association with substrates and thus governs their function in protein folding. Nucleotide exchange factors (NEFs) accelerate ADP release from Hsp70, which results in rebinding of ATP and release of the substrate, thereby regulating the lifetime of the Hsp70-substrate complex. This chapter describes several methods suitable to study NEFs of Hsp70 chaperones. On the one hand, steady-state ATPase assays provide information on how the NEF influences progression of the Hsp70 through the entire ATPase cycle. On the other hand, nucleotide release can be measured directly using labeled nucleotides, which enables identification and further characterization of NEFs.

Abstract
The ATPase domain of members of the 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) family shows a high degree of sequence, structural, and functional homology across species. A broadly conserved residue within the Hsp70 ATPase domain that captured our attention is an unpaired cysteine, positioned proximal to the site of nucleotide binding. Prior studies of several Hsp70 family members show this cysteine is not required for Hsp70 ATPase activity, yet select amino acid replacements of the cysteine can dramatically alter ATP hydrolysis. Moreover, post-translational modification of the cysteine has been reported to limit ATP hydrolysis for several Hsp70s. To better understand the underlying mechanism for how perturbation of this noncatalytic residue modulates Hsp70 function, we determined the structure for a cysteine-to-tryptophan mutation in the constitutively expressed, mammalian Hsp70 family member Hsc70. Our work reveals that the steric hindrance produced by a cysteine-to-tryptophan mutation disrupts the hydrogen-bond network within the active site, resulting in a loss of proper catalytic magnesium coordination. We propose that a similarly altered active site is likely observed upon post-translational oxidation. We speculate that the subtle changes we detect in the hydrogen-bonding network may relate to the previously reported observation that cysteine oxidation can influence Hsp70 interdomain communication.

Bap (Sil1) regulates the molecular chaperone BiP by coupling release of nucleotide and substrate. Nat Struct Mol Biol 2018; 25:90-100.

Abstract
BiP is the endoplasmic member of the Hsp70 family. BiP is regulated by several co-chaperones including the nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) Bap (Sil1 in yeast). Bap is a two-domain protein. The interaction of the Bap C-terminal domain with the BiP ATPase domain is sufficient for its weak NEF activity. However, stimulation of the BiP ATPase activity requires full-length Bap, suggesting a complex interplay of these two factors. Here, single-molecule FRET experiments with mammalian proteins reveal that Bap affects the conformation of both BiP domains, including the lid subdomain, which is important for substrate binding. The largely unstructured Bap N-terminal domain promotes the substrate release from BiP. Thus, Bap is a conformational regulator affecting both nucleotide and substrate interactions. The preferential interaction with BiP in its ADP state places Bap at a late stage of the chaperone cycle, in which it coordinates release of substrate and ADP, thereby resetting BiP for ATP and substrate binding.

Abstract
Hsp70s use ATP hydrolysis to disrupt protein:protein associations or move macromolecules. One example is Hsc70-mediated disassembly of clathrin coats that form on vesicles during endocytosis. We exploit the exceptional features of these coats to test three models—Brownian ratchet, power-stroke and entropic pulling—proposed to explain how Hsp70s transform their substrates. Our data rule out the ratchet and power-stroke models, and instead support a collision pressure mechanism whereby collisions between clathrin coat walls and Hsc70s drive coats apart. Collision pressure is the complement to the pulling force described in the entropic pulling model. We also find that self-association can augment collision pressure to allow disassembly of clathrin lattices predicted to resist disassembly. These results illuminate how Hsp70s generate the forces that transform their substrates.

Abstract
Proteins in the cell experience various stressful conditions that can affect their ability to attain and maintain the structural conformations they need to perform effectively. Protein chaperones are an important part of a cellular protein quality control system that protects the integrity of the proteome in the face of such challenges. Chaperones from different conserved families have multiple members that cooperate to regulate each other's activity and produce machines that perform a variety of tasks. The large numbers of related chaperones with both functionally overlapping and distinct activities allows fine-tuning of the machinery for specific tasks, but presents a daunting degree of complexity. Yeast prions are misfolded forms of cellular proteins whose propagation depends on the action of protein chaperones. Studying how propagation of yeast prions is affected by alterations in functions of various chaperones provides an approach to understanding this complexity.

Abstract
HSPA8/HSC70 protein is a fascinating chaperone protein. It represents a constitutively expressed, cognate protein of the HSP70 family, which is central in many cellular processes. In particular, its regulatory role in autophagy is decisive. We focused this review on HSC70 structure-function considerations and based on this, we put a particular emphasis on HSC70 targeting by small molecules and peptides in order to develop intervention strategies that deviate some of HSC70 properties for therapeutic purposes. Generating active biomolecules regulating autophagy via its effect on HSC70 can effectively be designed only if we understand the fine relationships between HSC70 structure and functions.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) is driven by ATP hydrolysis and ADP-ATP exchange. ADP dissociation from Hsp70 is reportedly slow in the presence of inorganic phosphate (P(i) ). In this study, we investigated the interaction of Hsp70 and its nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) with ADP in detail, by isothermal titration calorimetry measurements and found that Mg(2+) ion dramatically elevates the affinity of Hsp70 for ADP. On the other hand, P(i) increased the affinity in the presence of Mg(2+) ion, but not in its absence. Thus, P(i) enhances the effect of the Mg(2+) ion on the ADP binding. Next, we determined the crystal structures of the ADP-bound NBD with and without Mg(2+) ion. As compared with the Mg(2+) ion-free structure, the ADP- and Mg(2+) ion-bound NBD contains one Mg(2+) ion, which is coordinated with the β-phosphate group of ADP and associates with Asp10, Glu175, and Asp199, through four water molecules. The Mg(2+) ion is also coordinated with one P(i) molecule, which interacts with Lys71, Glu175, and Thr204. In fact, the mutations of Asp10 and Asp199 reduced the affinity of the NBD for ADP, in both the presence and the absence of P(i) . Therefore, the Mg(2+) ion-mediated network, including the P(i) and water molecules, increases the affinity of Hsp70 for ADP, and thus the dissociation of ADP is slow. In ADP-ATP exchange, the slow ADP dissociation might be rate-limiting. However, the nucleotide-exchange factors actually enhance ADP release by disrupting the Mg(2+) ion-mediated network.

Abstract
An essential stage in endocytic coated vesicle recycling is the dissociation of clathrin from the vesicle coat by the molecular chaperone, 70-kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70), and the J-domain-containing protein, auxilin, in an ATP-dependent process. We present a detailed mechanistic analysis of clathrin disassembly catalyzed by Hsc70 and auxilin, using loss of perpendicular light scattering to monitor the process. We report that a single auxilin per clathrin triskelion is required for maximal rate of disassembly, that ATP is hydrolyzed at the same rate that disassembly occurs, and that three ATP molecules are hydrolyzed per clathrin triskelion released. Stopped-flow measurements revealed a lag phase in which the scattering intensity increased owing to association of Hsc70 with clathrin cages followed by serial rounds of ATP hydrolysis prior to triskelion removal. Global fit of stopped-flow data to several physically plausible mechanisms showed the best fit to a model in which sequential hydrolysis of three separate ATP molecules is required for the eventual release of a triskelion from the clathrin-auxilin cage.

Abstract
The Hsp70 family of molecular chaperones is an essential class of chaperones that is present in many different cell types and cellular compartments. We have compared the bioactivities of the prokaryotic cytosolic Hsp70, DnaK, to that of the eukaryotic Hsp70, BiP, located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Both chaperones helped to prevent protein aggregation. However, only DnaK provided enhanced refolding of denatured proteins. We also tested chaperone folding assistance during translation in the context of cell-free protein synthesis reactions for several protein targets and show that both DnaK and BiP can provide folding assistance under these conditions. Our results support previous reports suggesting that DnaK provides both post-translational and co-translational folding assistance while BiP predominantly provides folding assistance that is contemporaneous with translation.

Abstract
Recognition and elimination of misfolded proteins are essential cellular processes. More than thirty percent of the cellular proteins are proteins of the secretory pathway. They fold in the lumen or membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum from where they are sorted to their site of action. The folding process, as well as any refolding after cell stress, depends on chaperone activity. In case proteins are unable to acquire their native conformation, chaperones with different substrate specificity and activity guide them to elimination. For most misfolded proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum this requires retro-translocation to the cytosol and polyubiquitylation of the misfolded protein by an endoplasmic reticulum associated machinery. Thereafter ubiquitylated proteins are guided to the proteasome for degradation. This review summarizes our up to date knowledge of chaperone classes and chaperone function in endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation of protein waste.

Abstract
The 70 kDa heat-shock proteins (Hsp70s) are highly conserved chaperones that are involved in several cellular processes, such as protein folding, disaggregation and translocation. In this study, the crystal structures of the human Hsp70 nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) fragment were determined in the nucleotide-free state and in complex with adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate (AMPPNP). The structure of the nucleotide-free NBD fragment is similar to that of the AMPPNP-bound NBD fragment and is designated as the ;closed form'. In the nucleotide-free NBD fragment the closed form is intrinsically supported through interactions between Tyr15, Lys56 and Glu268 which connect subdomains IA, IB and IIB at the centre of the protein. Interaction with the substrate-binding domain (SBD) of Hsp70 or the BAG domain of BAG1 impairs this subdomain connection and triggers the rotation of subdomain IIA around a hydrophobic helix from subdomain IA. The subdomain rotation is limited by Asp199 and Asp206 from subdomain IIA and clearly defines the open form of the NBD. The open form is further stabilized by a new interaction between Gly230 from subdomain IIB and Ser340 from subdomain IIA. The structure of the NBD in the nucleotide-free state is determined by switching of the inter-subdomain interactions.

Abstract
Human mortalin is an Hsp70 chaperone that has been implicated in cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and involvement has been suggested in cellular iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis. However, study of this important human chaperone has been hampered by a lack of active material sufficient for biochemical characterization. Herein, we report the successful purification and characterization of recombinant human mortalin in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was expressed in the form of inclusion bodies and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The subsequently refolded protein was confirmed to be active by its ATPase activity, a characteristic blue-shift in the fluorescence emission maximum following the addition of ATP, and its ability to bind to a likely physiological substrate. Single turnover kinetic experiments of mortalin were performed and compared with another Hsp70 chaperone, Thermotogamaritima DnaK; with each exhibiting slow ATP turnover rates. Secondary structures for both chaperones were similar by circular dichroism criteria. This work describes an approach to functional expression of human mortalin that provides sufficient material for detailed structure-function studies of this important Hsp70 chaperone.

Abstract
Hsp110s are divergent relatives of Hsp70 chaperones that hydrolyze ATP. Hsp110s serve as Hsp70 nucleotide exchange factors and act directly to maintain polypeptide solubility. To date, the impact of peptide binding on Hsp110 ATPase activity is unknown and an Hsp110/peptide affinity has not been measured. We now report on a peptide that binds to the yeast Hsp110, Sse1p, with a K(D) of approximately 2 nM. Surprisingly, the binding of this peptide fails to stimulate Sse1p ATP hydrolysis. Moreover, an Hsp70-binding peptide is unable to associate with Sse1p, suggesting that Hsp70s and Hsp110s possess partially distinct peptide recognition motifs.

Abstract
Most proteins in the secretory pathway are translated, folded, and subjected to quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These processes must be flexible enough to process diverse protein conformations, yet specific enough to recognize when a protein should be degraded. Molecular chaperones are responsible for this decision making process. ER associated chaperones assist in polypeptide translocation, protein folding, and ER associated degradation (ERAD). Nevertheless, we are only beginning to understand how chaperones function, how they are recruited to specific substrates and assist in folding/degradation, and how unique chaperone classes make quality control "decisions".

Abstract
The chaperone activity of Hsp70 in protein folding and its conformational switching are regulated through the hydrolysis of ATP and the ATP-ADP exchange cycle. It was reported that, in the presence of physiological concentrations of ATP (approximately 5 mM) and ADP (approximately 0.5 mM), Hsp70 catalyzes ATP-ADP exchange through transfer of gamma-phosphate between ATP and ADP, via an autophosphorylated intermediate, whereas it only catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP in the absence of ADP. To clarify the functional domain of the ATP-ADP exchange activity of Hsp70, we isolated the 44-kD ATPase domain of Hsp70 after limited proteolysis with alpha-chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1). The possibility of ATP-ADP exchange activity of a contaminating nucleoside diphosphate kinase (EC 2.7.4.6) was monitored throughout the experiments. The purified 44-kD ATPase domain exhibited intrinsic ATP-ADP exchange by catalyzing the transfer of gamma-phosphate between ATP and ADP with acid-stable autophosphorylation at Thr204.

Abstract
Hsp70 alternates between an ATP-bound state in which the affinity for substrate is low and an ADP-bound state in which the affinity for substrate is high, as a result Hsp70 assists the protein folding process through nucleotide-controlled cycles of substrate binding and release. In this work, we describe the cloning and purification of the human 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein, Hsc70, and the use of circular dichroism, intrinsic emission fluorescence, and isothermal titration calorimetry to characterize conformational changes induced by ADP and ATP binding. Binding of either ADP or ATP were not accompanied by a net change in secondary structure suggesting that the conformational rearrangement caused by nucleotide binding is localized. MgADP or MgATP had a greater effect in the stability at stress temperatures than ADP or ATP did. Isothermal titration calorimetry data pointed out that Hsc70 had a lower affinity for ATP (KD=710 nM) than for ADP (KD=260 nM).

Abstract
GRP78 is a major protein regulated by the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum stress response, and up-regulation has been shown to be important in protecting cells from challenge with cytotoxic agents. GRP78 has ATPase activity, acts as a chaperone, and interacts specifically with other proteins, such as caspases, as part of a mechanism regulating apoptosis. GRP78 is also reported to have a possible role as a Ca2+ storage protein. In order to understand the potential biological effects of Ca2+ and ATP/ADP binding on the biology of GRP78, we have determined its ligand binding properties. We show here for the first time that GRP78 can bind Ca2+, ATP, and ADP, each with a 1:1 stoichiometry, and that the binding of cation and nucleotide is cooperative. These observations do not support the hypothesis that GRP78 is a dynamic Ca2+ storage protein. Furthermore, we demonstrate that whereas Mg2+ enhances GRP78 binding to ADP and ATP to the same extent, Ca2+ shows a differential enhancement. In the presence of Ca2+, the KD for ATP is lowered approximately 11-fold, and the KD for ADP is lowered around 930-fold. The KD for Ca2+ is lowered approximately 40-fold in the presence of ATP and around 880-fold with ADP. These findings may explain the biological requirement for a nucleotide exchange factor to remove ADP from GRP78. Taken together, our data suggest that the Ca2+-binding property of GRP78 may be part of a signal transduction pathway that modulates complex interactions between GRP78, ATP/ADP, secretory proteins, and caspases, and this ultimately has important consequences for cell viability.

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
Polypeptide binding by the chaperone Hsp70 is regulated by its ATPase activity, which is itself regulated by co-chaperones including the Bag domain nucleotide exchange factors. Here, we tested the functional contribution of residues in the Bag domain of Bag-1M that contact Hsp70. Two point mutations, E212A and E219A, partially reduced co-chaperone activity, whereas the point mutation R237A completely abolished activity in vitro. Based on the strict positional conservation of the Arg-237 residue, several Bag domain proteins were predicted from various eukaryotic genomes. One candidate, Snl1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was confirmed as a Bag domain co-chaperone. Snl1p bound specifically to the Ssa and Ssb forms of yeast cytosolic Hsp70, as revealed by two-hybrid screening and co-precipitations from yeast lysate. In vitro, Snl1p also recognized mammalian Hsp70 and regulated the Hsp70 ATPase activity identically to Bag-1M. Point mutations in Snl1p that disrupted the conserved residues Glu-112 and Arg-141, equivalent to Glu-212 and Arg-237 in Bag-1M, abolished the interaction with Hsp70 proteins. In live yeast, mutated Snl1p could not substitute for wild-type Snl1p in suppressing the lethal defect caused by truncation of the Nup116p nuclear pore component. Thus, Snl1p is the first Bag domain protein identified in S. cerevisiae, and its interaction with Hsp70 is essential for biological activity.

Abstract
The actin superfamily of ATPases includes cytoskeletal actins, the stress 70 proteins (e.g. hsc70), sugar kinases, glycerol kinase, and several prokaryotic cell cycle proteins. Although these proteins share limited sequence identity, they all appear to maintain a similar tertiary structure, the "actin fold", which may serve to couple ATP hydrolysis to protein conformational changes. Recently, an actin-related protein (Arp) subfamily has been identified based on sequence homology to conventional actin. Although some Arps are clearly involved in cytoskeletal functions, both actin and/or Arps have been found as stoichiometric subunits of several nuclear chromatin-remodeling enzymes. Here we present two related models in which actin and/or Arps function as conformational switches that control either the activity or the assembly of chromatin-remodeling machines.

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
Hsc66 from Escherichia coli is a constitutively expressed hsp70 class molecular chaperone whose activity is coupled to ATP binding and hydrolysis. To better understand the mechanism and regulation of Hsc66, we investigated the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis and the interactions of Hsc66 with nucleotides. Steady-state experiments revealed that Hsc66 has a low affinity for ATP (K(m)(ATP) = 12.7 microM) compared with other hsp70 chaperones. The kinetics of nucleotide binding were determined by analyzing changes in the Hsc66 absorbance spectrum using stopped-flow methods at 23 degrees C. ATP binding results in a rapid, biphasic increase of Hsc66 absorbance at 280 nm; this is interpreted as arising from a two-step process in which ATP binding (k(a)(ATP) = 4.2 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1), k(d)(ATP) = 1.1 s(-1)) is followed by a slow conformational change (k(conf) = 0. 1 s(-1)). Under single turnover conditions, the ATP-induced transition decays exponentially with a rate (k(decay) = 0.0013 s(-1)) similar to that observed in both steady-state and single turnover ATP hydrolysis experiments (k(hyd) = 0.0014 s(-1)). ADP binding to Hsc66 results in a monophasic transition in the absence (k(a)(ADP) = 7 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), k(d)(ADP) = 60 s(-1)) and presence of physiological levels of inorganic phosphate (k(a)(ADP(P(i)) = 0.28 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1), k(d)(ADP(P(i)) = 9.1 s(-1)). These results indicate that ATP hydrolysis is the rate-limiting step under steady-state conditions and is >10(3)-fold slower than the rate of ADP/ATP exchange. Thus, in contrast to DnaK and eukaryotic forms of hsp70 that have been characterized to date, the R if T equilibrium balance for Hsc66 is shifted in favor of the low peptide affinity T state, and regulation of the reaction cycle is expected to occur at the ATP hydrolysis step rather than at nucleotide exchange.

Abstract
The Escherichia coli DnaK (DnaKEco) chaperone cycle is tightly regulated by the cochaperones DnaJ, which stimulates ATP hydrolysis, and GrpE, which acts as a nucleotide exchange factor. The Thermus thermophilus DnaK (DnaKTth) system additionally comprises the DnaK-DnaJ assembly factor (DafATth) that is mediating formation of a 300 kDa DnaKTth. DnaJTth.DafATth complex.A model peptide derived from the tumor suppressor protein p53 was used to dissect the regulation of the individual kinetic key steps of the DnaKTth nucleotide/chaperone cycle. As with DnaKEco the DnaKTth.ATP complex binds substrates with reduced affinity and large exchange rates compared to the DnaKTth.ADP.Pi state. In contrast to DnaKEco, ADP-Pi release is slow compared to the rate of hydrolysis, reversing the balance of the two functional nucleotide states. Whereas GrpETth stimulates nucleotide release from DnaKTth, DnaJTth does not accelerate ATP hydrolysis under various experimental conditions. However, it exerts influence on the interaction of DnaKTth with substrates: in the presence of DafATth, DnaJTth inhibits substrate binding, and substrate already bound to DnaKTth is displaced by DnaJTth and DafATth, indicating competitive binding of DnaJTth/DafATth and substrate. It thus appears that the DnaKTth. DnaJTth.DafATth complex as isolated from T. thermophilus does not represent the active species in the DnaKTth chaperone cycle. Isothermal titration calorimetry showed that the ternary complex of DnaKTth, DnaJTth and DafATth is assembling with high affinity, whereas binary complexes of DnaKTth and DnaJTth or DafATth were not detectable, indicating highly synergistic formation of the 300 kDa DnaKTth. DnaJTth.DafATth complex. Based on these results, a model describing the DnaKTth chaperone cycle and its regulation by cochaperones is proposed where DnaKTth. DnaJTth.DafATth constitutes the resting state, and a DnaKTth. substrate.DnaJTth complex is the active chaperone species. The novel factor DafATth that mediates interaction of DnaKTth with DnaJTth would thus serve as a "template" to stabilise the ternary DnaKTth.DafATth.DnaJTth complex until it is replaced by substrate proteins under heat shock conditions.

Abstract
Hsp70 molecular chaperones contain three distinct structural domains, a 44 kDa N-terminal ATPase domain, a 17 kDa peptide-binding domain, and a 10 kDa C-terminal domain. The ATPase and peptide binding domains are conserved in sequence and are functionally well characterized. The function of the 10 kDa variable C-terminal domain is less well understood. We have characterized the secondary structure and dynamics of the C-terminal domain from the Escherichia coli Hsp70, DnaK, in solution by high-resolution NMR. The domain was shown to be comprised of a rigid structure consisting of four helices and a flexible C-terminal subdomain of approximately 33 amino acids. The mobility of the flexible region is maintained in the context of the full-length protein and does not appear to be modulated by the nucleotide state. The flexibility of this region appears to be a conserved feature of Hsp70 architecture and may have important functional implications. We also developed a method to analyze 15N nuclear spin relaxation data, which allows us to extract amide bond vector directions relative to a unique diffusion axis. The extracted angles and rotational correlation times indicate that the helices form an elongated, bundle-like structure in solution.

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
Molecular chaperones influence the process of protein folding and, under conditions of stress, recognize non-native proteins to ensure that misfolded proteins neither appear nor accumulate. BAG-1, identified as an Hsp70 associated protein, was shown to have the unique properties of a negative regulator of Hsp70. Here, we demonstrate that BAG-1 inhibits the in vitro protein refolding activity of Hsp70 by forming stable ternary complexes with non-native substrates that do not release even in the presence of nucleotide and the co-chaperone, Hdj-1. However, the substrate in the BAG-1-containing ternary complex does not aggregate and remains in a soluble intermediate folded state, indistinguishable from the refolding-competent substrate-Hsp70 complex. BAG-1 neither inhibits the Hsp70 ATPase, nor has the properties of a nucleotide exchange factor; instead, it stimulates ATPase activity, similar to that observed for Hdj-1, but with opposite consequences. In the presence of BAG-1, the conformation of Hsp70 is altered such that the substrate binding domain becomes less accessible to protease digestion, even in the presence of nucleotide and Hdj-1. These results suggest a mechanistic basis for BAG-1 as a negative regulator of the Hsp70-Hdj-1 chaperone cycle.

Abstract
The cellular response to a wide variety of stresses results in the synthesis of a family of stress response proteins termed heat shock proteins. Recent studies have demonstrated that heat shock proteins produced in response to an initial stress seem to protect against subsequent unrelated stresses. Importantly, hyperthermia-induced heat shock proteins provided protection from ischemia/reperfusion injury in several organ transplantation models. We hypothesized that free musculocutaneous flap survival could be improved by enhancing the flap's tolerance to relative ischemia by the prior induction of heat shock proteins. Accordingly, we determined the heat shock protein response in skin and muscle after systemic or local heating and examined the effect on free musculocutaneous flap survival in a rat model. Free musculocutaneous flaps incorporating thigh adductor muscles and a 2 x 6-cm2 skin paddle were transplanted to the ipsilateral groin in three groups of male Wistar rats. Systemically heated rats (n = 6) were anesthetized and incubated for 30 minutes at 42 degrees C 6 hours before free musculocutaneous tissue transfer. Locally heated rats (n = 6) were anesthetized, and their donor site anterior thigh was placed for 30 minutes on a heating block set at 44 degrees C 6 hours before free tissue transfer. Control rats (n = 5) did not have heating pretreatment but underwent identical anesthesia. Animals were sacrificed on postoperative day 3, at which time skin loss (cm2) and muscle viability, quantified by nitroblue tetrazolium staining time, were assessed in a blinded fashion. The skin and muscle from the free flap were analyzed for HSP72 mRNA and protein using quantitative Northern and Western blot techniques. All free musculocutaneous flaps were viable. However, the locally and systemically heated rats demonstrated a marked improvement of skin survival, which correlated with increased skin levels of HSP72. There were no differences in nitroblue tetrazolium muscle staining times or muscle levels of HSP72 among the three groups. These findings suggest that prior heat-induced heat shock proteins result in improvement in musculocutaneous flap survival, which may have direct clinical applications, especially in high-risk patients.

Abstract
We have compared 70-kDa heat shock cognate protein (Hsc70) isolated from bovine brain with recombinant wild type protein and mutant E543K protein (previously studied as wild type in our laboratory). Wild type bovine and recombinant protein differ by posttranslational modification of lysine 561 but interact similarly with a short peptide (fluorescein-labeled FYQLALT) and with denatured staphylococcal nuclease-(Delta135-149). Mutation E543K results in 4. 5-fold faster release of peptide and lower stability of complexes with staphylococcal nuclease-(Delta135-149). ATP hydrolysis rates of the wild type proteins are enhanced 6-10-fold by the addition of peptide. The E543K mutant has a peptide-stimulated hydrolytic rate similar to that of wild type protein but a higher unstimulated rate, yielding a mere 2-fold enhancement. All three versions of Hsc70 possess similar ATP-dependent conformational shifts, and all show potassium ion dependence. These data support the following model: (i) in the presence of K+, Mg2+, and ATP, the peptide binding domain inhibits the ATPase; (ii) binding of peptide relieves this inhibition; and (iii) the E543K mutation significantly attenuates the inhibition by the peptide binding domain and destabilizes Hsc70-peptide complexes.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone DnaK, the Hsp70 homolog of Escherichia coli, acts in concert with the co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE. The aim of this study was to identify the particular phase of the peptide binding-release cycle of the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE system that is directly responsible for the chaperone effects. By real-time kinetic measurements of changes in the intrinsic fluorescence of DnaK and in the fluorescence of dansyl-labeled peptide ligands, the rates of the following steps in the chaperone cycle were determined: (1) binding of target peptide to fast-binding-and-releasing, low-affinity DnaK ATP; (2) DnaJ-triggered conversion of peptide x DnaK x ATP (T state) to slowly-acting, high-affinity peptide x DnaK x ADP x P(i) (R state); (3) switch from R to T state induced by GrpE-facilitated ADP/ATP exchange; (4) release of peptide. Under conditions approximating those in the cell, the apparent rate constants for the T --> R and R --> T conversion were 0.04 s(-1) and 1.0 s, respectively. The clearly rate-limiting T --> R conversion renders the R state a minor form of DnaK that cannot account for the chaperone effects. Because DnaK in the absence of the co-chaperones is chaperone-ineffective, the T state has also to be excluded. Apparently, the slow, ATP-driven conformational change T --> R is the key step in the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone cycle underlying the chaperone effects such as the prevention of protein aggregation, disentangling of polypeptide chains and, in the case of eukaryotic Hsp70 homologs, protein translocation through membranes or uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles.

Abstract
Mge1, a GrpE-related protein in the mitochondrial matrix of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is required for translocation of precursor proteins into mitochondria. The effect of Mge1 on nucleotide release from Ssc1, an Hsp70 of the mitochondrial matrix, was analyzed. The release of both ATP and ADP from Ssc1 was stimulated in the presence of Mge1, therefore we conclude that Mge1 functions as a nucleotide release factor for Ssc1. Mge1 bound stably to Ssc1 in vitro; this interaction was resistant to high concentrations of salt but was disrupted by the addition of ATP. ADP was much less effective in releasing Mge1 from Ssc1 whereas ATP gamma S and AMPPNP could not disrupt the Ssc1/Mge1 complex. Ssc1-3, a temperature sensitive SSC1 mutant protein, did not form a detectable complex with Mge1. Consistent with the lack of a detectable interaction, Mge1 did not stimulate nucleotide release from Ssc1-3. A conserved loop structure on the surface of the ATPase domain of DnaK has been implicated in its interaction with GrpE. Since the single amino acid change in Ssc1-3 lies very close to the analogous loop in Ssc1, the role of this loop in the Ssc1:Mge1 interaction was investigated. Deletion of the loop abolished the physical and functional interaction of Ssc1 with Mge1, suggesting that the loop in Ssc1 is also important for the Ssc1:Mge1 interaction. Two mutants with single amino acid changes within the loop did not eliminate the stable binding of Mge1, yet the binding of Mge1 did not stimulate the release of nucleotides from the mutant SSC1 proteins. We propose that the loop region of Ssc1 is important for the physical interaction between Mge1 and Ssc1, and for generation of a conformational change necessary for Mge1-induced nucleotide release.

Abstract
Cysteine string protein (CSP) is a 34 kDa secretory vesicle protein bearing a "J-domain" as well as a palmitoylated cysteine-rich "string" region used for membrane attachment. Mutation of the CSP gene causes impaired presynaptic neuromuscular transmission in Drosophila melanogaster, implicating CSP as part of the exocytotic protein machinery. The J-domain of CSP shares homology with the universally conserved DnaJ family, a group of proteins that act as co-chaperones with Hsc70 and its homologs. Hsc70 is an abundant neural protein with coupled protein binding and ATPase activities. We have investigated the CSP modulation of Hsc70 ATPase activity. Here we demonstrated that CSP enhances Hsc70 ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. CSP activation of Hsc70 was maximal ( approximately 12 times) at 1:1 stoichiometry and above. We show that a J-domain-containing fragment (amino acids 1-82) of CSP is sufficient for the activation of Hsc70. Neither CSP nor the amino-terminal fragment stimulate the activity of the isolated Hsc70 ATPase domain (amino acids 1-386). CSP does not significantly increase the activity of N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein, another ATPase required for transport vesicle function. Our results suggest that CSP, a DnaJ family member associated with the secretory vesicle cycle regulates Hsc70 functions. Hsc70 may function within the biochemical pathways of exo- and endocytosis to promote the formation or dissociation of multimeric complexes or to regulate conformational changes.

Abstract
Nucleotide binding to the 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70) from mung bean seeds and pig brain was investigated, as well as the clathrin uncoating activity of Hsc70 in the presence of these nucleotides. The two enzymes were found to behave identically. ATP bound to two different forms of Hsc70, with dissociation constants of 1.1 +/- 0.1 microM and 1.4 +/- 0.7 mM respectively at 25 degrees C. This corresponds to delta G0' = -34 and -16 kJ/mol respectively. From the temperature-dependence of the dissociation constant of the high-affinity site, delta H0' was calculated to -36 +/- 2 kJ/mol. This gives delta S0' = 6.7 J/mol per K. Adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate, ADP, adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-imino]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate showed dissociation constants of 2.3, 11, 31 and 284 microM respectively. The order of affinities corresponded to the order of effectiveness in uncoating of pig brain coated vesicles. The implications of these findings for the mechanism of Hsc70 action are discussed.

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
During protein import into mitochondria, matrix-localized mitochondrial hsp70 (mhsp70) interacts with the inner membrane protein Tim44 to pull a precursor across the inner membrane. We have proposed that the Tim44-mhsp70 complex functions as an ATP-dependent "translocation motor" that exerts an inward force on the precursor chain. To clarify the role of ATP in mhsp70-driven translocation, we tested the effect of the purified ATP analogues AMP-PNP and ATP gamma S on the Tim44-mhsp70 interaction. Both analogues mimicked ATP by causing dissociation of mhsp70 from Tim44. ADP did not disrupt the Tim44-mhsp70 complex, but did block the ATP-induced dissociation of this complex. In the presence of ADP, mhsp70 can bind simultaneously to Tim44 and to a peptide substrate. These data are consistent with a model in which mhsp70 first hydrolyzes ATP, then associates tightly with Tim44 and a precursor protein, and finally undergoes a conformational change to drive translocation.

Abstract
HSP70 family proteins bind ATP and hydrolyze it, but the precise role of these activities in their in vivo chaperoning function has not been determined. In this report, we characterized wild-type hamster BiP isolated from bacteria in terms of its ATP binding and ATPase activities. Recombinant BiP behaved essentially the same as endogenous BiP in terms of oligomeric status, protease digestion patterns, and ATPase properties. By engineering a Factor Xa cleavable site following the His tag which was used for affinity purification, we demonstrated that the six histidines had no effect on either the structural or ATPase properties of recombinant BiP. We also found that bacteria-synthesized BiP had a tightly bound ADP that was resistant to dialysis. Removal of the bound nucleotide allowed us to directly measure the binding affinity of ATP and ADP to BiP (Kd of 0.2 microM for ATP and 0.29 microM for ADP) by equilibrium dialysis. Careful characterization of wild-type BiP will allow us to use this system to characterize BiP ATP binding site mutants that can be used to probe the role of ATP binding and ATPase activity in BiP functions.

Abstract
Solution X-ray scattering experiments have been carried out on recombinant bovine Hsc70 (with 650 amino acid residues), a 60 kDa subfragment (residues 1-554) which has ATPase- and peptide-binding activities, a 44kDa subfragment (residues 1-386) which has only ATPase activity, and a peptide-binding fragment (residues 388-554). Modeling based on steady-state values of radii of gyration (Rg's) and P(r) functions shows that the 44 kDa and peptide-binding domains are oblate fragments while Hsc70 and the 60 kDa fragment are prolate and relatively elongated. Rg values decrease significantly in the presence of MgATP relative to their values in the presence of MgADP (delta Rg approximately 4-5 A) for Hsc70 and the 60 kDa fragment; in contrast, they are essentially equal in the presence of either nucleotide for the 44 kDa ATPase fragment. The kinetics of the change of Rg for Hsc70 and the 60 kDa fragment under single-ATPase cycle conditions show that the transition to the ATP-induced Rg occurs significantly more rapidly than ATP hydrolysis while the reverse transition to the larger Rg value does not occur before product release. Altogether, the solution scattering data support a model in which a conformational change in Hsc70 (presumably to the low-peptide-affinity state) is predicated on ATP binding while the reverse transition is predicated on product release.
