Abstract
To test the temperature sensitivity of molecular chaperones in poikilothermic animals, we purified the molecular chaperone Hsc70 from 2 closely related notothenioid fishes--the Antarctic species Trematomus bernacchii and the temperate New Zealand species Notothenia angustata--and characterized the effect of temperature on Hsc70 adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. Hsc70 ATPase activity was measured using [alpha-32P]-adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-based in vitro assays followed by separation of adenylates by thin-layer chromatography. For both species, a significant increase in Hsc70 ATPase activity was observed across a range of temperatures that was ecologically relevant for each respective species. Hsc70 from T bernacchii hydrolyzed 2-fold more ATP than did N angustata Hsc70 at 0 degrees C, suggesting that the Antarctic molecular chaperone may be adapted to function more efficiently at extreme cold temperatures. In addition, Q10 measurements indicate differential temperature sensitivity of the ATPase activity of Hsc70 from these differentially adapted fish that correlates with the temperature niche inhabited by each species. Hsc70 from T bernacchii was relatively temperature insensitive, as indicated by Q10 values calculated near 1.0 across each temperature range measured. In the case of Hsc70 purified from N angustata, Q10 values indicated thermal sensitivity across the temperature range of 0 degrees C to 10 degrees C, with a Q10 of 2.714. However, Hsc70 from both T bernacchii and N angustata exhibited unusually high thermal stabilities with ATPase activity at temperatures that far exceeded temperatures encountered by these fish in nature. Overall, as evidenced by in vitro ATP hydrolysis, Hsc70 from T bernacchii and N angustata displayed biochemical characteristics that were supportive of molecular chaperone function at ecologically relevant temperatures.

Abstract
A yeast two-hybrid screen, using the carboxyl tail of the human mu opioid receptor as bait and a human brain cDNA library as target, indicated that the carboxyl terminal portion of hlj1, a member of the human heat shock protein 40 family, interacts with the carboxyl tail of the human mu opioid receptor. To determine if direct in vitro binding occurs between these two proteins, we performed overlay experiments. Results from the overlay experiments showed that binding occurs between the His fusion protein of hlj1 and the GST fusion protein of the carboxyl tail of the human mu opioid receptor. In contrast, no binding with the His fusion protein of hlj1 occurred with GST alone or the GST fusion protein of the third cytoplasmic loop of the human mu opioid receptor. Results from co-immunoprecipitation studies, carried out in whole HEK cell lysates, confirmed in vivo binding between these two proteins. Immunofluorescent studies, using laser scanning confocal microscopy, showed significant co-localization between hlj1 and the human mu opioid receptor in the cell membrane. The function of this protein-protein interaction and its physiological relevance in animal and human brain is yet to be determined.

Abstract
Clathrin and clathrin adaptors on clathrin-coated pits exchange with cytosolic clathrin and clathrin adaptors in vivo. This exchange might require the molecular chaperone Hsc70 and J-domain-protein auxilin, which, with ATP, uncoat clathrin-coated vesicles both in vivo and in vitro. We find that, although Hsc70 and ATP alone could not uncoat clathrin-coated pits, further addition of auxilin caused rapid uncoating of clathrin but not AP2 and epsin. By contrast, cytosol uncoats clathrin, AP2 and epsin from pits in permeabilized cells, and, concomitantly, these proteins in the cytosol rebind to the same pits, establishing that, like in vivo, these proteins exchange in permeabilized cells. Dissociation and exchange of clathrin in permeabilized cells can be prevented by inhibiting Hsc70 activity. The presence of clathrin-exchange in the permeabilized system substantiates our in vivo observations, and is consistent with the view that Hsc70 and auxilin are involved in the clathrin-exchange that occurs as clathrin-coated pits invaginate in vivo.

Abstract
Although a great deal is known about the cellular function of molecular chaperones in general, very little is known about the effect of temperature selection on the function of molecular chaperones in nonmodel organisms. One major unanswered question is whether orthologous variants of a molecular chaperone from differential thermally adapted species vary in their thermal responses. To address this issue, we utilized a comparative approach to examine the temperature interactions of a major cytosolic molecular chaperone, Hsc70, from differently thermally adapted notothenioids. Using in vitro assays, we measured the ability of Hsc70 to prevent thermal aggregation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). We further compared the capacity of Hsc70 to refold chemically denatured LDH over the temperature range of −2 to +45°C. Hsc70 purified from the temperate species exhibited greater ability to prevent the thermal denaturation of LDH at 55°C compared with Hsc70 from the cold-adapted species. Furthermore, Hsc70 from the Antarctic species lost the ability to competently refold chemically denatured LDH at a lower temperature compared with Hsc70 from the temperate species. These data indicate the function of Hsc70 in notothenioid fishes maps onto their thermal history and that temperature selection has acted on these molecular chaperones.

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
Regulated neurotransmitter release depends on a precise sequence of events that lead to repeated cycles of exocytosis and endocytosis. These events are mediated by a series of molecular interactions among vesicular, plasma membrane, and cytosolic proteins. An emerging theme has been that molecular chaperones may guide the sequential restructuring of stable or transient protein complexes to promote a temporal and spatial regulation of the endo- and exocytotic machinery and to ensure a vectorial passage through the vesicle cycle. Chaperones, specialized for a few substrates, are ideally suited to participate in regulatory processes that require some molecular dexterity to rearrange conformational or oligomeric protein structures. This article emphasizes the significance of three molecular chaperone systems in regulated neurotransmitter release: the regulation of soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes by N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) and the soluble NSF attachment protein (SNAP), the uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles by the 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70), and the regulation of SNARE complex-associated protein interactions by cysteine-string protein and Hsc70.

Abstract
Auxilin is a brain-specific DnaJ homolog that is required for Hsc70 to dissociate clathrin from bovine brain clathrin-coated vesicles. However, Hsc70 is also involved in uncoating clathrin-coated vesicles formed at the plasma membrane of non-neuronal cells suggesting that an auxilin homolog may be required for uncoating in these cells. One candidate is cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK), a 150-kDa protein expressed ubiquitously in various tissues. GAK has a C-terminal domain with high sequence similarity to auxilin; like auxilin this C-terminal domain consists of three subdomains, an N-terminal tensin-like domain, a clathrin-binding domain, and a C-terminal J-domain. Western blot analysis shows that GAK is present in rat liver, bovine testes, and bovine brain clathrin-coated vesicles. More importantly, liver clathrin-coated vesicles, which contain GAK but not auxilin, are uncoated by Hsc70, suggesting that GAK acts as an auxilin homolog in non-neuronal cells. In support of this view, the clathrin-binding domain of GAK alone induces clathrin polymerization into baskets and the combined clathrin-binding domain and J-domain of GAK supports uncoating of AP180-clathrin baskets by Hsc70 at pH 7 and induces Hsc70 binding to clathrin baskets at pH 6. Immunolocalization studies suggest that GAK is a cytosolic protein that is concentrated in the perinuclear region; it appears to be highly associated with the trans-Golgi where the budding of clathrin-coated vesicles occurs. We propose that GAK is a required cofactor for the uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles by Hsc70 in non-neuronal cells.

Abstract
DnaJ-like proteins function in association with Hsp70 molecular chaperones to facilitate protein folding. We previously demonstrated that a yeast DnaJ-like protein, Ydj1p, was important for activation of heterologously expressed steroid hormone receptors (Caplan, A. J., Langley, E., Wilson, E. M., and Vidal, J. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 5251-5257). In the present study, we analyzed Ydj1p function by assaying hormone binding to the human androgen receptor (AR) heterologously expressed in yeast. We analyzed hormone binding in strains that were wild type or deleted for the YDJ1 gene. In the deletion mutant, the AR did not bind hormone to the same extent as the wild type. Introduction of mutant forms of Ydj1p to the deletion strain revealed that the J-domain is necessary but not sufficient for Ydj1p action, and that other domains of the protein are also functionally important. Of three human DnaJ-like proteins introduced into the deletion mutant, only Hdj2, which displays full domain conservation with Ydj1p, suppressed the hormone binding defect of the deletion mutant. By comparison of the domains shared by these three human proteins, and with mutants of Ydj1p that were functional, it was deduced that the cysteine-rich zinc binding domain is important for Hdj2/Ydj1p action in hormone receptor function. A model for the mechanism of DnaJ-like protein action is discussed.

Abstract
P58(IPK), a member of the tetratricopeptide repeat and J-domain protein families, was first recognized for its ability to inhibit the double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase, PKR. PKR is part of the interferon-induced host defense against viral infection, and down-regulates translation initiation via phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 on the alpha-subunit. P58(IPK) is activated in response to infection by influenza virus, and inhibits PKR through direct protein-protein interaction. Previously, we demonstrated that the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 40 (hsp40) was a negative regulator of P58(IPK). We could now report that influenza virus activates the P58(IPK) pathway by promoting the dissociation of hsp40 from P58(IPK) during infection. We also found that the P58(IPK)-hsp40 association was disrupted during recovery from heat shock, which suggested a regulatory role for P58(IPK) in the absence of virus infection. The PKR pathway is even more complex as we show in this report that the molecular chaperone, hsp/Hsc70, was a component of a trimeric complex with hsp40 and P58(IPK). Moreover, like other J-domain proteins, P58(IPK) stimulated the ATPase activity of Hsc70. Taken together, our data suggest that P58(IPK) is a co-chaperone, possibly directing hsp/Hsc70 to refold, and thus inhibit kinase function.

Abstract
The defining feature of the Hsp40 chaperone family is a approximately 70-amino-acid-residue signature, termed the J domain, that is necessary for orchestrating interactions with its Hsp70 chaperone partner(s). J-domain proteins play important regulatory roles as co-chaperones, recruiting Hsp70 partners and accelerating the ATP-hydrolysis step of the chaperone cycle. Certain proteins could have acquired a J domain in order to present a specific substrate(s) to an Hsp70 partner and thus capitalize upon chaperone activities when carrying out cellular functions. J-domain proteins participate in complex biological processes, such as cell-cycle control by DNA tumor viruses, regulation of protein kinases and exocytosis.
