Elucidating molecular mechanism and chemical space of chalcones through biological networks and machine learning approaches. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2024; 23:2811-2836. [PMID: 39045026 PMCID: PMC11263914 DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2024.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/25/2024] Open
Abstract
We developed a bio-cheminformatics method, exploring disease inhibition mechanisms using machine learning-enhanced quantitative structure-activity relationship (ML-QSAR) models and knowledge-driven neural networks. ML-QSAR models were developed using molecular fingerprint descriptors and the Random Forest algorithm to explore the chemical spaces of Chalcones inhibitors against diverse disease properties, including antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimicrobial, and antiviral effects. We generated and validated robust machine learning-based bioactivity prediction models (https://github.com/RatulChemoinformatics/QSAR) for the top genes. These models underwent ROC and applicability domain analysis, followed by molecular docking studies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of the molecules. Through comprehensive neural network analysis, crucial genes such as AKT1, HSP90AA1, SRC, and STAT3 were identified. The PubChem fingerprint-based model revealed key descriptors: PubchemFP521 for AKT1, PubchemFP180 for SRC, PubchemFP633 for HSP90AA1, and PubchemFP145 and PubchemFP338 for STAT3, consistently contributing to bioactivity across targets. Notably, chalcone derivatives demonstrated significant bioactivity against target genes, with compound RA1 displaying a predictive pIC50 value of 5.76 against HSP90AA1 and strong binding affinities across other targets. Compounds RA5 to RA7 also exhibited high binding affinity scores comparable to or exceeding existing drugs. These findings emphasize the importance of knowledge-based neural network-based research for developing effective drugs against diverse disease properties. These interactions warrant further in vitro and in vivo investigations to elucidate their potential in rational drug design. The presented models provide valuable insights for inhibitor design and hold promise for drug development. Future research will prioritize investigating these molecules for mycobacterium tuberculosis, enhancing the comprehension of effectiveness in addressing infectious diseases.

Pseudophosphorylation of single residues of the J-domain of DNAJA2 regulates the holding/folding balance of the Hsc70 system. Protein Sci 2024; 33:e5105. [PMID: 39012012 PMCID: PMC11249846 DOI: 10.1002/pro.5105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
The Hsp70 system is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis and comprises a central Hsp70 and two accessory proteins that belong to the J-domain protein (JDP) and nucleotide exchange factor families. Posttranslational modifications offer a means to tune the activity of the system. We explore how phosphorylation of specific residues of the J-domain of DNAJA2, a class A JDP, regulates Hsc70 activity using biochemical and structural approaches. Among these residues, we find that pseudophosphorylation of Y10 and S51 enhances the holding/folding balance of the Hsp70 system, reducing cochaperone collaboration with Hsc70 while maintaining the holding capacity. Truly phosphorylated J domains corroborate phosphomimetic variant effects. Notably, distinct mechanisms underlie functional impacts of these DNAJA2 variants. Pseudophosphorylation of Y10 induces partial disordering of the J domain, whereas the S51E substitution weakens essential DNAJA2-Hsc70 interactions without a large structural reorganization of the protein. S51 phosphorylation might be class-specific, as all cytosolic class A human JDPs harbor a phosphorylatable residue at this position.

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) play key roles in cellular stress and several human diseases. The direct effects of some post-translational modifications (PTMs) on certain sHSPs have been characterized, raising the possibility that small molecules could be used to modulate these modifications and indirectly up- or downregulate sHSP activity.

Abstract
This pilot experiment examines if a loss in muscle proteostasis occurs in people with obesity and whether endurance exercise positively influences either the abundance profile or turnover rate of proteins in this population. Men with (n = 3) or without (n = 4) obesity were recruited and underwent a 14-d measurement protocol of daily deuterium oxide (D2O) consumption and serial biopsies of vastus lateralis muscle. Men with obesity then completed 10-weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), encompassing 3 sessions per week of cycle ergometer exercise with 1 min intervals at 100% maximum aerobic power interspersed by 1 min recovery periods. The number of intervals per session progressed from 4 to 8, and during weeks 8-10 the 14-d measurement protocol was repeated. Proteomic analysis detected 352 differences (p < 0.05, false discovery rate < 5%) in protein abundance and 19 (p < 0.05) differences in protein turnover, including components of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. HIIT altered the abundance of 53 proteins and increased the turnover rate of 22 proteins (p < 0.05) and tended to benefit proteostasis by increasing muscle protein turnover rates. Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with compromised muscle proteostasis, which may be partially restored by endurance exercise.

Abstract
Tumors develop in an oxidative environment characterized by peroxynitrite production and downstream protein tyrosine (Y) nitration. We showed that tyrosine nitration supports schwannoma cell proliferation and regulates cell metabolism in the inheritable tumor disorder NF2-related Schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN). Here, we identified the chaperone Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) as the first nitrated protein that acts as a metabolic switch to promote schwannoma cell proliferation. Doubling the endogenous levels of nitrated Hsp90 in schwannoma cells or supplementing nitrated Hsp90 into normal Schwann cells increased their proliferation. Metabolically, nitration on either Y33 or Y56 conferred Hsp90 distinct functions; nitration at Y33 (Hsp90NY33) down-regulated mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, while nitration at Y56 (Hsp90NY56) increased glycolysis by activating the purinergic receptor P2X7 in both schwannoma and normal Schwann cells. Hsp90NY33 and Hsp90NY56 showed differential subcellular and spatial distribution corresponding with their metabolic and proliferative functions in schwannoma three-dimensional cell culture models. Collectively, these results underscore the role of tyrosine nitration as a post-translational modification regulating critical cellular processes. Nitrated proteins, particularly nitrated Hsp90, emerge as a novel category of tumor-directed therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by high rates of disability and death and has become a public health problem that threatens human life and health worldwide. HPA axis disorder and neuroinflammation are two common biological abnormalities in MDD patients. Hsp90 is an important molecular chaperone that is widely distributed in the organism. Hsp90 binds to the co-chaperone and goes through a molecular chaperone cycle to complete its regulation of the client protein. Numerous studies have demonstrated that Hsp90 regulates how the HPA axis reacts to stress and how GR, the HPA axis' responsive substrate, matures. In addition, Hsp90 exhibits pro-inflammatory effects that are closely related to neuroinflammation in MDD. Currently, Hsp90 inhibitors have made some progress in the treatment of a variety of human diseases, but they still need to be improved. Further insight into the role of Hsp90 in MDD provides new ideas for the development of new antidepressant drugs targeting Hsp90.

Abstract
More than 99% of the mitochondrial proteome is encoded by the nucleus and requires refolding following import. Therefore, mitochondrial proteins require the coordinated action of molecular chaperones for their folding and activation. Several heat shock protein (Hsp) molecular chaperones, including members of the Hsp27, Hsp40/70, and Hsp90 families, as well as the chaperonin complex Hsp60/10 have an established role in mitochondrial protein import and folding. The "Chaperone Code" describes the regulation of chaperone activity by dynamic post-translational modifications; however, little is known about the post-translational regulation of mitochondrial chaperones. Dissecting the regulation of chaperone function is essential for understanding their differential regulation in pathogenic conditions and the potential development of efficacious therapeutic strategies. Here, we summarize the recent literature on post-translational regulation of mitochondrial chaperones, the consequences for mitochondrial function, and potential implications for disease.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications of Hsp90 are known to regulate its in vivo chaperone functions. Here, we demonstrate that the lysine acetylation-deacetylation dynamics of Hsp82 is a major determinant in DNA repair mediated by Rad51. We uncover that the deacetylated lysine 27 in Hsp82 dictates the formation of the Hsp82-Aha1-Rad51 complex, which is crucial for client maturation. Intriguingly, Aha1-Rad51 complex formation is not dependent on Hsp82 or its acetylation status; implying that Aha1-Rad51 association precedes the interaction with Hsp82. The DNA damage sensitivity of Hsp82 (K27Q/K27R) mutants are epistatic to the loss of the (de)acetylase hda1Δ; reinforcing the importance of the reversible acetylation of Hsp82 at the K27 position. These findings underscore the significance of the cross talk between a specific Hsp82 chaperone modification code and the cognate cochaperones in a client-specific manner. Given the pivotal role that Rad51 plays during DNA repair in eukaryotes and particularly in cancer cells, targeting the Hda1-Hsp90 axis could be explored as a new therapeutic approach against cancer.

Abstract
The p53 protein is the master regulator of cellular integrity, primarily due to its tumor-suppressing functions. Approximately half of all human cancers carry mutations in the TP53 gene, which not only abrogate the tumor-suppressive functions but also confer p53 mutant proteins with oncogenic potential. The latter is achieved through so-called gain-of-function (GOF) mutations that promote cancer progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance by deregulating transcriptional networks, signaling pathways, metabolism, immune surveillance, and cellular compositions of the microenvironment. Despite recent progress in understanding the complexity of mutp53 in neoplastic development, the exact mechanisms of how mutp53 contributes to cancer development and how they escape proteasomal and lysosomal degradation remain only partially understood. In this review, we address recent findings in the field of oncogenic functions of mutp53 specifically regarding, but not limited to, its implications in metabolic pathways, the secretome of cancer cells, the cancer microenvironment, and the regulating scenarios of the aberrant proteasomal degradation. By analyzing proteasomal and lysosomal protein degradation, as well as its connection with autophagy, we propose new therapeutical approaches that aim to destabilize mutp53 proteins and deactivate its oncogenic functions, thereby providing a fundamental basis for further investigation and rational treatment approaches for TP53-mutated cancers.

Abstract
The intricate protein-chaperone network is vital for cellular function. Recent discoveries have unveiled the existence of specialized chaperone complexes called epichaperomes, protein assemblies orchestrating the reconfiguration of protein-protein interaction networks, enhancing cellular adaptability and proliferation. This study delves into the structural and regulatory aspects of epichaperomes, with a particular emphasis on the significance of post-translational modifications in shaping their formation and function. A central finding of this investigation is the identification of specific PTMs on HSP90, particularly at residues Ser226 and Ser255 situated within an intrinsically disordered region, as critical determinants in epichaperome assembly. Our data demonstrate that the phosphorylation of these serine residues enhances HSP90's interaction with other chaperones and co-chaperones, creating a microenvironment conducive to epichaperome formation. Furthermore, this study establishes a direct link between epichaperome function and cellular physiology, especially in contexts where robust proliferation and adaptive behavior are essential, such as cancer and stem cell maintenance. These findings not only provide mechanistic insights but also hold promise for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting chaperone complexes in diseases characterized by epichaperome dysregulation, bridging the gap between fundamental research and precision medicine.

Abstract
As a major source of cellular serine and threonine phosphatase activity, protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A) modulates signaling pathways in health and disease. PP2A complexes consist of catalytic, scaffolding, and B-type subunits. Seventeen PP2A B-type subunits direct PP2A complexes to selected substrates. It is ill-defined how PP2A B-type subunits determine the growth and drug responsiveness of tumor cells. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with poor prognosis. We analyzed the responses of murine and human mesenchymal and epithelial PDAC cells to the specific PP2A inhibitor phendione. We assessed protein levels by immunoblot and proteomics and cell fate by flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and genetic manipulation. We show that murine mesenchymal PDAC cells express significantly higher levels of the PP2A B-type subunit PR130 than epithelial PDAC cells. This overexpression of PR130 is associated with a dependency of such metastasis-prone cells on the catalytic activity of PP2A. Phendione induces apoptosis and an accumulation of cytotoxic protein aggregates in murine mesenchymal and human PDAC cells. These processes occur independently of the frequently mutated tumor suppressor p53. Proteomic analyses reveal that phendione upregulates the chaperone HSP70 in mesenchymal PDAC cells. Inhibition of HSP70 promotes phendione-induced apoptosis and phendione promotes a proteasomal degradation of PR130. Genetic elimination of PR130 sensitizes murine and human PDAC cells to phendione-induced apoptosis and protein aggregate formation. These data suggest that the PP2A-PR130 complex dephosphorylates and thereby prevents the aggregation of proteins in tumor cells.

Abstract
Cisplatin (cPt) is a commonly used treatment for solid tumors. The main target of its cytotoxicity is the DNA molecule, which makes the DNA damage response (DDR) crucial for cPt-based chemotherapy. Therefore, it is essential to identify biomarkers that can accurately predict the individual clinical response and prognosis. Our goal was to assess the usefulness of alkaline comet assay and immunocytochemical staining of phosphorylated Hsp90α (p-Hsp90α), γH2AX, and 53BP1 as predictive/prognostic markers. Pre-chemotherapy peripheral blood leukocytes were exposed to cPt in vitro and collected at 0, 24 (T24), and 48 (T48) hr post-drug removal. Healthy subjects were also included. Baseline DNA damage was elevated in cancer patients (variability between individuals was observed). After cPt, patients showed increased γH2AX foci/nucleus (T24 and T48). Both in healthy persons and patients, the nuclear p-Hsp90α and N/C (nuclear/cytoplasmic) ratio augmented (T24), decreasing at T48. Favorable clinical response was associated with high DNA damage and p-Hsp90α N/C ratio following cPt. For the first time, p-Hsp90α significance as a predictive marker is highlighted. Post-cPt-DNA damage was associated with longer disease-free survival and overall survival. Our findings indicate that comet assay and p-Hsp90α (a marker of DDR) would be promising prognostic/predictive tools in cP-treated cancer patients.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 (Heat shock protein, 90 kDa) is an abundant and essential cytosolic protein required for the stability and/or folding of hundreds of client proteins. Hsp90, along with helper cochaperone proteins, assists client protein folding in an ATP-dependent pathway. The laboratory of Susan Lindquist, in collaboration with other researchers, was the first to establish the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism to study the functional interaction between Hsp90 and clients. Important insights from studies in her lab were that Hsp90 is essential, and that Hsp90 functions and cochaperone interactions are highly conserved between yeast and mammalian cells. Here, we describe key mechanistic insights into the Hsp90 folding cycle that were obtained using the yeast system. We highlight the early contributions of the laboratory of Susan Lindquist and extend our analysis into the broader use of the yeast system to analyze the understanding of the conformational cycle of Hsp90 and the impact of altered Hsp90 function on the proteome.

Abstract
The activity of the Hsp70 molecular chaperone is regulated by a suite of helper co-chaperones that include J-proteins. Studies on J-proteins have historically focused on their expression, localization, and activation of Hsp70. There is growing evidence that the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of chaperones (the chaperone code) fine-tune chaperone function. This mini-review summarizes the current understanding of the role and regulation of PTMs on the major J-proteins Ydj1 and DNAJA1. Understanding these PTMs may provide novel therapeutic avenues for targeting chaperone activity in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
HtpG, a bacterial homolog of the eukaryotic 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90), represents the simplest member of the heat shock protein family. While the significance of Hsp90 in fungal and cancer drug resistance has been confirmed, the role of HtpG in bacterial antibiotic resistance remains largely unexplored. This research aims to investigate the impact of the htpG gene on antibiotic resistance in Vibrio mimicus. Through the creation of htpG gene deletion and complementation strains, we have uncovered the essential role of htpG in regulating the structural integrity of the bacterial cell envelope. Our transcriptomics analysis demonstrates that the deletion of htpG increases the sensitivity of V. mimicus to antimicrobial peptides, primarily due to upregulated lipopolysaccharide synthesis, reduced glycerophospholipid content, and weakened efflux pumps activity. Conversely, reduced sensitivity to β-lactam antibiotics in the ΔhtpG strain results from decreased peptidoglycan synthesis and dysregulated peptidoglycan recycling and regulation. Further exploration of specific pathway components is essential for a comprehensive understanding of htpG-mediated resistance mechanisms, aiding in the development of antimicrobial agents. To our knowledge, this is the first effort to explore the relationship between htpG and drug resistance in bacteria.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoan parasite with the ability to infect various warm-blooded vertebrates, including humans, is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis. This infection poses significant risks, leading to severe complications in immunocompromised individuals and potentially affecting the fetus through congenital transmission. A comprehensive understanding of the intricate molecular interactions between T. gondii and its host is pivotal for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. This review emphasizes the crucial role of proteomics in T. gondii research, with a specific focus on host-parasite interactions, post-translational modifications (PTMs), PTM crosstalk, and ongoing efforts in drug discovery. Additionally, we provide an overview of recent advancements in proteomics techniques, encompassing interactome sample preparation methods such as BioID (BirA*-mediated proximity-dependent biotin identification), APEX (ascorbate peroxidase-mediated proximity labeling), and Y2H (yeast two hybrid), as well as various proteomics approaches, including single-cell analysis, DIA (data-independent acquisition), targeted, top-down, and plasma proteomics. Furthermore, we discuss bioinformatics and the integration of proteomics with other omics technologies, highlighting its potential in unraveling the intricate mechanisms of T. gondii pathogenesis and identifying novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Small ubiquitin-related modifiers (SUMOs) function as post-translational protein modifications and regulate nearly every aspect of cellular function. While a single ubiquitin protein is expressed across eukaryotic organisms, multiple SUMO paralogues with distinct biomolecular properties have been identified in plants and vertebrates. Five SUMO paralogues have been characterized in humans, with SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 being the best studied. SUMO2 and SUMO3 share 97% protein sequence homology (and are thus referred to as SUMO2/3) but only 47% homology with SUMO1. To date, thousands of putative sumoylation substrates have been identified thanks to advanced proteomic techniques, but the identification of SUMO1- and SUMO2/3-specific modifications and their unique functions in physiology and pathology are not well understood. The SUMO2/3 paralogues play an important role in proteostasis, converging with ubiquitylation to mediate protein degradation. This function is achieved primarily through SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligases (STUbLs), which preferentially bind and ubiquitylate poly-SUMO2/3 modified proteins. Effects of the SUMO1 paralogue on protein solubility and aggregation independent of STUbLs and proteasomal degradation have also been reported. Consistent with these functions, sumoylation is implicated in multiple human diseases associated with disturbed proteostasis, and a broad range of pathogenic proteins have been identified as SUMO1 and SUMO2/3 substrates. A better understanding of paralogue-specific functions of SUMO1 and SUMO2/3 in cellular protein quality control may therefore provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis and therapeutic innovation. This review summarizes current understandings of the roles of sumoylation in protein quality control and associated diseases, with a focus on the specific effects of SUMO1 and SUMO2/3 paralogues.

Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is one of the prominent neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the progressive decline of neuronal function, due to the accumulation and aggregation of misfolded proteins. Pathological progression of HD is hallmarked by the aberrant aggregation of the huntingtin protein (HTT) and subsequent neurotoxicity. Molecular chaperones (heat shock proteins, HSPs) play a pivotal role in maintaining proteostasis by facilitating protein refolding, degradation, or sequestration to limit the accumulation of misfolded proteins during neurotoxicity. However, the role of post-translational modifications such as ubiquitination among HSPs during HD is less known. In this study, we aimed to elucidate HSPs ubiquitin code in the context of HD pathogenesis. In a comprehensive proteomic analysis, we identified site-specific ubiquitination events in HSPs associated with HTT in HD-affected brain regions. To assess the impact of ubiquitination on HSPs during HD, we quantified the abundance of ubiquitinated lysine sites in both the rat cortex/striatum and in the mouse primary cortical neurons. Strikingly, we observed highly tissue-specific alterations in the relative ubiquitination levels of HSPs under HD conditions, emphasizing the importance of spatial perturbed post-translational modifications (PTMs) in shaping disease pathology. These ubiquitination events, combined with other PTMs on HSPs, are likely to influence the phase transitions of HTT. In conclusion, our study uncovered differential site-specific ubiquitination of molecular chaperones and offers a comprehensive view of the intricate relationship between protein aggregation, and PTMs in the context of Huntington's disease.

Abstract
The 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) is a homodimeric molecular chaperone with ATPase activity, which has become an intensely studied target for the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. The equilibrium between Hsp90 dimers and oligomers is important for modulating its function. In the absence of ATP, the passive chaperone activity of Hsp90 dimers and oligomers has been shown to stabilize client proteins as a holdase, which enhances substrate binding and prevents irreversible aggregation and precipitation of the substrate proteins. In the presence of ATP and its associated cochaperones, Hsp90 homodimers act as foldases with the binding and hydrolysis of ATP driving conformational changes that mediate client folding. Crystal structures of both wild type and W320A mutant Hsp90αMC (middle/C-terminal domain) have been determined, which displayed a preference for hexameric and dimeric states, respectively. Structural analysis showed that W320 is a key residue for Hsp90 oligomerization by forming intermolecular interactions at the Hsp90 hexameric interface through cation-π interactions with R367. W320A substitution results in the formation of a more open conformation of Hsp90, which has not previously been reported, and the induction of a conformational change in the catalytic loop. The structures provide new insights into the mechanism by which W320 functions as a key switch for conformational changes in Hsp90 self-oligomerization, and binding cochaperones and client proteins.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a chaperone with vital roles in regulating proteostasis, long recognized for its function in protein folding and maturation. A view is emerging that identifies HSP90 not as one protein that is structurally and functionally homogeneous but, rather, as a protein that is shaped by its environment. In this Review, we discuss evidence of multiple structural forms of HSP90 in health and disease, including homo-oligomers and hetero-oligomers, also termed epichaperomes, and examine the impact of stress, post-translational modifications and co-chaperones on their formation. We describe how these variations influence context-dependent functions of HSP90 as well as its interaction with other chaperones, co-chaperones and proteins, and how this structural complexity of HSP90 impacts and is impacted by its interaction with small molecule modulators. We close by discussing recent developments regarding the use of HSP90 inhibitors in cancer and how our new appreciation of the structural and functional heterogeneity of HSP90 invites a re-evaluation of how we discover and implement HSP90 therapeutics for disease treatment.

Abstract
HSP90 is a ubiquitously expressed chaperone protein that regulates the maturation of numerous substrate proteins called 'clients'. The glycoprotein fibronectin (FN) is an important protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and a client protein of HSP90. FN and HSP90 interact directly, and the FN ECM is regulated by exogenous HSP90 or HSP90 inhibitors. Here, we extend the analysis of the HSP90 - FN interaction. The importance of the N-terminal 70-kDa fragment of fibronectin (FN70) and FN type I repeat was demonstrated by competition for FN binding between HSP90 and the functional upstream domain (FUD) of the Streptococcus pyogenes F1 adhesin protein. Furthermore, His-HSP90α mutations F352A and Y528A (alone and in combination) reduced the association with full-length FN (FN-FL) and FN70 in vitro. Unlike wild type His-HSP90α, these HSP90 mutants did not enhance FN matrix assembly in the Hs578T cell line model when added exogenously. Interestingly, the HSP90 E353A mutation, which did not significantly reduce the HSP90 - FN interaction in vitro, dramatically blocked FN matrix assembly in Hs578T cell-derived matrices. Taken together, these data extend our understanding of the role of HSP90 in FN fibrillogenesis and suggest that promotion of FN ECM assembly by HSP90 is not solely regulated by the affinity of the direct interaction between HSP90 and FN.

Abstract
The small heat shock protein Hsp42 and the t-SNARE protein Sed5 have central roles in the sequestration of misfolded proteins into insoluble protein deposits in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, whether these proteins/processes interact in protein quality control (PQC) is not known. Here, we show that Sed5 and anterograde trafficking modulate phosphorylation of Hsp42 partially via the MAPK kinase Hog1. Such phosphorylation, specifically at residue S215, abrogated the co-localization of Hsp42 with the Hsp104 disaggregase, aggregate clearance, chaperone activity, and sequestration of aggregates to IPOD and mitochondria. Furthermore, we found that Hsp42 is hyperphosphorylated in old cells leading to a drastic failure in disaggregation. Old cells also displayed a retarded anterograde trafficking, which, together with slow aggregate clearance and hyperphosphorylation of Hsp42, could be counteracted by Sed5 overproduction. We hypothesize that the breakdown of proper PQC during yeast aging may, in part, be due to a retarded anterograde trafficking leading to hyperphosphorylation of Hsp42.

Abstract
We developed an efficient synthetic method for constructing bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, an sp3-carbon-rich three-dimensional scaffold consisting of two fused six-membered rings. Among the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanols synthesized, several bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives were found to inhibit gene transcription by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). The structure-activity relationship study revealed that the number of hydrophobic functional groups and a carboxylic acid moiety in the bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanols are important for inhibitory activities of both gene transcription by HIF-1 and cell growth. Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanols fluctuated the amounts of client proteins of heat shock protein (HSP) 90 without inducing a heat shock response in cells and specifically inhibited the ATPase activity of HSP90. These results indicate that bicyclo[3.3.1]nonanols are novel HSP90 inhibitors with a different mechanism of action from conventional HSP90 inhibitors.

Abstract
Yeast is a valuable model organism for their ease of genetic manipulation, rapid growth rate, and relative similarity to higher eukaryotes. Historically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has played a major role in discovering the function of complex proteins and pathways that are important for human health and disease. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone responsible for the stabilization and activation of hundreds of integral members of the cellular signaling network. Much important structural and functional work, including many seminal discoveries in Hsp90 biology are the direct result of work carried out in S. cerevisiae. Here, we have provided a brief overview of the S. cerevisiae model system and described how this eukaryotic model organism has been successfully applied to the study of Hsp90 chaperone function.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and its co-chaperones promote cancer, and targeting Hsp90 holds promise for cancer treatment. Most of the efforts to harness this potential have focused on targeting the Hsp90 N-terminus ATP binding site. Although newer-generation inhibitors have shown improved efficacy in aggressive cancers, induction of the cellular heat shock response (HSR) by these inhibitors is thought to limit their clinical efficacy. Therefore, Hsp90 inhibitors with novel mechanisms of action and that do not trigger the HSR would be advantageous. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which capsaicin inhibits Hsp90. Through mutagenesis, chemical modifications, and proteomic studies, we show that capsaicin binds to the N-terminus of Hsp90 and inhibits its ATPase activity. Consequently, capsaicin and its analogs inhibit Hsp90 ATPase-dependent progesterone receptor reconstitution in vitro. Capsaicin did not induce the HSR, instead, it promoted the degradation of Hsp70 through the lysosome-autophagy pathway. Remarkably, capsaicin did not induce degradation of the constitutively expressed cognate Hsc70, indicating selectivity for Hsp70. Combined treatments of capsaicin and the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-AAG improved the anti-tumor efficacy of 17-AAG in cell culture and tridimensional tumor spheroid growth assays using breast and prostate cancer models. Consistent with this, in silico docking studies revealed that capsaicin binding to the ATP binding site of Hsp90 was distinct from classical N-terminus Hsp90 inhibitors, indicating a novel mechanism of action. Collectively, these findings support the use of capsaicin as a chemical scaffold to develop novel Hsp90 N-terminus inhibitors as well as its ability to be a potential cancer co-therapeutic.

Abstract
Protein-assembly defects due to an enrichment of aberrant conformational protein variants are emerging as a new frontier in therapeutics design. Understanding the structural elements that rewire the conformational dynamics of proteins and pathologically perturb functionally oriented ensembles is important for inhibitor development. Chaperones are hub proteins for the assembly of multiprotein complexes and an enrichment of aberrant conformers can affect the cellular proteome, and in turn, phenotypes. Here, we integrate computational and experimental tools to investigte how N-glycosylation of specific residues in glucose-regulated protein 94 (GRP94) modulates internal dynamics and alters the conformational fitness of regions fundamental for the interaction with ATP and synthetic ligands and impacts substructures important for the recognition of interacting proteins. N-glycosylation plays an active role in modulating the energy landscape of GRP94, and we provide support for leveraging the knowledge on distinct glycosylation variants to design molecules targeting GRP94 disease-associated conformational states and assemblies.

The interactions of molecular chaperones with clients can be regulated by chaperone post-translational modification (PTMs) collectively known as the 'chaperone code'. What is less understood is how PTMs on client proteins may impact chaperone-client interactions. In this forum, we discuss the possibility of a 'client code'.

Abstract
Cellular homeostasis relies on both the chaperoning of proteins and the intracellular degradation system that delivers cytoplasmic constituents to the lysosome, a process known as autophagy. The crosstalk between these processes and their underlying regulatory mechanisms is poorly understood. Here, we show that the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) forms a complex with the autophagy-initiating kinase Atg1 (yeast)/Ulk1 (mammalian), which suppresses its kinase activity. Conversely, environmental cues lead to Atg1/Ulk1-mediated phosphorylation of a conserved serine in the amino domain of Hsp90, inhibiting its ATPase activity and altering the chaperone dynamics. These events impact a conformotypic peptide adjacent to the activation and catalytic loop of Atg1/Ulk1. Finally, Atg1/Ulk1-mediated phosphorylation of Hsp90 leads to dissociation of the Hsp90:Atg1/Ulk1 complex and activation of Atg1/Ulk1, which is essential for initiation of autophagy. Our work indicates a reciprocal regulatory mechanism between the chaperone Hsp90 and the autophagy kinase Atg1/Ulk1 and consequent maintenance of cellular proteostasis.

Abstract
Fluctuations in nutrient and biomass availability, often as a result of disease, impart metabolic challenges that must be overcome in order to sustain cell survival and promote proliferation. Cells adapt to these environmental changes and stresses by adjusting their metabolic networks through a series of regulatory mechanisms. Our understanding of these rewiring events has largely been focused on those genetic transformations that alter protein expression and the biochemical mechanisms that change protein behavior, such as post-translational modifications and metabolite-based allosteric modulators. Mounting evidence suggests that a class of proteome surveillance proteins called molecular chaperones also can influence metabolic processes. Here, we summarize several ways the Hsp90 and Hsp70 chaperone families act on human metabolic enzymes and their supramolecular assemblies to change enzymatic activities and metabolite flux. We further highlight how these chaperones can assist in the translocation and degradation of metabolic enzymes. Collectively, these studies provide a new view for how metabolic processes are regulated to meet cellular demand and inspire new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones play a key role in maintaining proteostasis and cellular health. The abundant, essential, cytosolic Hsp90 (Heat shock protein, 90 kDa) facilitates the folding and activation of hundreds of newly synthesized or misfolded client proteins in an ATP-dependent folding pathway. In a simplified model, Hsp70 first helps load client onto Hsp90, ATP binding results in conformational changes in Hsp90 that result in the closed complex, and then less defined events result in nucleotide hydrolysis, client release and return to the open state. Cochaperones bind and assist Hsp90 during this process. We previously identified a series of yeast Hsp90 mutants that appear to disrupt either the 'loading', 'closing' or 'reopening' events, and showed that the mutants had differing effects on activity of some clients. Here we used those mutants to dissect Hsp90 and cochaperone interactions. Overexpression or deletion of HCH1 had dramatically opposing effects on the growth of cells expressing different mutants, with a phenotypic shift coinciding with formation of the closed conformation. Hch1 appears to destabilize Hsp90-nucleotide interaction, hindering formation of the closed conformation, whereas Cpr6 counters the effects of Hch1 by stabilizing the closed conformation. Hch1 and the homologous Aha1 share some functions, but the role of Hch1 in inhibiting progression through the early stages of the folding cycle is unique. Sensitivity to the Hsp90 inhibitor NVP-AUY922 also correlates with the conformational cycle, with mutants defective in the loading phase being most sensitive and those defective in the reopening phase being most resistant to the drug. Overall, our results indicate that the timing of transition into and out of the closed conformation is tightly regulated by cochaperones. Further analysis will help elucidate additional steps required for progression through the Hsp90 folding cycle and may lead to new strategies for modulating Hsp90 function.

Abstract
Hsp90 is an essential eukaryotic chaperone that regulates the activity of many client proteins. Current models of Hsp90 function, which include many conformational rearrangements, specify a requirement of ATP hydrolysis. Here we confirm earlier findings that the Hsp82-E33A mutant, which binds ATP but does not hydrolyze it, supports viability of S. cerevisiae, although it displays conditional phenotypes. We find binding of ATP to Hsp82-E33A induces the conformational dynamics needed for Hsp90 function. Hsp90 orthologs with the analogous EA mutation from several eukaryotic species, including humans and disease organisms, support viability of both S. cerevisiae and Sz. pombe. We identify second-site suppressors of EA that rescue its conditional defects and allow EA versions of all Hsp90 orthologs tested to support nearly normal growth of both organisms, without restoring ATP hydrolysis. Thus, the requirement of ATP for Hsp90 to maintain viability of evolutionarily distant eukaryotic organisms does not appear to depend on energy from ATP hydrolysis. Our findings support earlier suggestions that exchange of ATP for ADP is critical for Hsp90 function. ATP hydrolysis is not necessary for this exchange but provides an important control point in the cycle responsive to regulation by co-chaperones.

Abstract
Photoreceptor phosphodiesterase PDE6 is central for visual signal transduction. Maturation of PDE6 depends on a specialized chaperone complex of HSP90 with aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1). Disruption of PDE6 maturation underlies a severe form of retina degeneration. Here, we report a 3.9 Å cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the complex of HSP90 with AIPL1. This structure reveals a unique interaction of the FK506-binding protein (FKBP)-like domain of AIPL1 with HSP90 at its dimer interface. Unusually, the N terminus AIPL1 inserts into the HSP90 lumen in a manner that was observed previously for HSP90 clients. Deletion of the 7 N-terminal residues of AIPL1 decreased its ability to cochaperone PDE6. Multi-body refinement of the cryo-EM data indicated large swing-like movements of AIPL1-FKBP. Modeling the complex of HSP90 with AIPL1 using crosslinking constraints indicated proximity of the mobile tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain with the C-terminal domain of HSP90. Our study establishes a framework for future structural studies of PDE6 maturation.

Abstract
The molecular chaperones Hsp90 and Hsp70 and their regulatory co-chaperone Hop play a key role at the crossroads of the folding pathways of numerous client proteins by forming fine-tuned multiprotein complexes. Alterations of the biomolecules involved may functionally impact the chaperone machinery: here, we integrate simulations and experiments to unveil how Hop conformational fitness and interactions can be controlled by the perturbation of just one residue. Specifically, we unveil how mechanisms mediated by Hop residue Y354 control Hop open and closed states, which affect binding of Hsp70/Hsp90. Phosphorylation or mutation of Hop-Y354 are shown to favor structural ensembles that are indeed not optimal for stable interactions with Hsp90 and Hsp70. This disfavors cellular accumulation of the stringent Hsp90 clients glucocorticoid receptor and the viral tyrosine kinase v-Src, with detrimental effects on v-Src activity. Our results show how the post-translational modification of a specific residue in Hop provides a regulation mechanism for the larger chaperone complex of which it is part. In this framework, the effects of one single alteration are amplified at the cellular level through the perturbation of protein-interaction networks.

EJNMMI Radiopharm Chem 2023; 8:2. [PMID: 36715827 PMCID: PMC9886718 DOI: 10.1186/s41181-023-00189-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The molecular chaperone, Hsp90, is a key player in the protein quality control system that maintains homeostasis under cellular stress conditions. It is a homodimer with ATP-dependent activity, and is a prominent member of the chaperone machinery that stabilizes, matures and (re)folds an extensive list of client proteins. Hsp90 occurs as four isoforms, cytosolic Hsp90α and Hsp90β, mitochondrial TRAP1 and Grp94 present in the endoplasmic reticulum. An aberrant role of Hsp90 has been attributed to several cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. Consequently, Hsp90 has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target. However, pan-Hsp90 inhibition often leads to detrimental dose-limiting toxicities. Novel strategies for Hsp90-targeted therapy intend to avoid this by using isoform-specific Hsp90 inhibition. In this respect, the radiosynthesis of carbon-11 labeled SNX-ab was developed and [11C]SNX-ab was evaluated as a Hsp90α,β isoform-selective PET probe, which could potentially allow to quantify in vivo Hsp90α,β expression. RESULTS [11C]SNX-ab was synthesized with excellent radiochemical yields of 45% and high radiochemical purity (> 98%). In vitro autoradiography studies on tissue slices of healthy mouse brain, mouse B16.F10 melanoma and U87 glioblastoma using homologous (SNX-ab, SNX-0723) and heterologous (Onalespib and PU-H71) Hsp90 inhibitors demonstrated only limited reduction of tracer binding, indicating that the binding of [11C]SNX-ab was not fully Hsp90-specific. Similarly, [11C]SNX-ab binding to U87 cells was not efficiently inhibited by Hsp90 inhibitors. Ex vivo biodistribution studies in healthy mice revealed limited brain exposure of [11C]SNX-ab and predominantly hepatobiliary clearance, which was confirmed by in vivo full-body dynamic µPET studies. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that [11C]SNX-ab is not an ideal probe for in vivo visualization and quantification of Hsp90α/β expression levels in tumour and brain. Future research in the development of next-generation Hsp90 isoform-selective PET tracers is warranted to dissect the role played by each isoform towards disease pathology and support the development of subtype-specific Hsp90 therapeutics.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that assists in the maturation of many client proteins involved in cellular signal transduction. As a regulator of cellular signaling processes, it is vital for the maintenance of cellular proteostasis and adaptation to environmental stresses. Emerging research shows that Hsp90 function in an organism goes well beyond intracellular proteostasis. In metazoans, Hsp90, as an environmentally responsive chaperone, is involved in inter-tissue stress signaling responses that coordinate and safeguard cell nonautonomous proteostasis and organismal health. In this way, Hsp90 has the capacity to influence evolution and aging, and effect behavioral responses to facilitate tissue-defense systems that ensure organismal survival. In this review, I summarize the literature on the organismal roles of Hsp90 uncovered in multicellular organisms, from plants to invertebrates and mammals.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a conserved molecular chaperone regulating the folding and activation of a diverse array of several hundreds of client proteins. The function of Hsp90 in client processing is fine-tuned by a cohort of co-chaperones that modulate client activation in a client-specific manner. They affect the Hsp90 ATPase activity and the recruitment of client proteins and can in addition affect chaperoning in an Hsp90-independent way. p23 and Aha1 are central Hsp90 co-chaperones that regulate Hsp90 in opposing ways. While p23 inhibits the Hsp90 ATPase and stabilizes a client-bound Hsp90 state, Aha1 accelerates ATP hydrolysis and competes with client binding to Hsp90. Even though both proteins have been intensively studied for decades, research of the last few years has revealed intriguing new aspects of these co-chaperones that expanded our perception of how they regulate client activation. Here, we review the progress in understanding p23 and Aha1 as promoters of client processing. We highlight the structures of Aha1 and p23, their interaction with Hsp90, and how their association with Hsp90 affects the conformational cycle of Hsp90 in the context of client maturation.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is essential in eukaryotes. Hsp90 chaperones proteins that are important determinants of multistep carcinogenesis. There are multiple Hsp90 isoforms including the cytosolic Hsp90α and Hsp90β as well as GRP94 located in the endoplasmic reticulum and TRAP1 in the mitochondria. The chaperone function of Hsp90 is linked to its ability to bind and hydrolyze ATP. Co-chaperones and posttranslational modifications (such as phosphorylation, SUMOylation, and ubiquitination) are important for Hsp90 stability and regulation of its ATPase activity. Both mammalian and yeast cells can be used to express and purify Hsp90 and TRAP1 and also detect post-translational modifications by immunoblotting.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) regulate myriad cellular processes by modulating protein function and protein-protein interaction. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone whose activity is responsible for the stabilization and maturation of more than 300 client proteins. Hsp90 is a substrate for numerous PTMs, which have diverse effects on Hsp90 function. Interestingly, many Hsp90 clients are enzymes that catalyze PTM, demonstrating one of the several modes of regulation of Hsp90 activity. Approximately 25 co-chaperone regulatory proteins of Hsp90 impact structural rearrangements, ATP hydrolysis, and client interaction, representing a second layer of influence on Hsp90 activity. A growing body of literature has also established that PTM of these co-chaperones fine-tune their activity toward Hsp90; however, many of the identified PTMs remain uncharacterized. Given the critical role of Hsp90 in supporting signaling in cancer, clinical evaluation of Hsp90 inhibitors is an area of great interest. Interestingly, differential PTM and co-chaperone interaction have been shown to impact Hsp90 binding to its inhibitors. Therefore, understanding these layers of Hsp90 regulation will provide a more complete understanding of the chaperone code, facilitating the development of new biomarkers and combination therapies.

Zheng M, Jiang X, Kong X, Guo Y, Zhang W, Di W. Proteomic analysis of Fasciola gigantica excretory and secretory products ( FgESPs) co-immunoprecipitated using a time course of infected buffalo sera. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1089394. [PMID: 36620027 PMCID: PMC9816151 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1089394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Widespread Fasciola gigantica infection in buffaloes has caused great economic losses in buffalo farming. Studies on F. gigantica excretory and secretory products (FgESP) have highlighted their importance in F. gigantica parasitism and their potential in vaccine development. Identifying FgESP components involved in F. gigantica-buffalo interactions during different periods is important for developing effective strategies against fasciolosis. Methods Buffaloes were assigned to non-infection (n = 3, as control group) and infection (n = 3) groups. The infection group was orally administrated 250 metacercariae. Sera were collected at 3, 10, and 16 weeks post-infection (wpi) for the non-infection group and at 0 (pre-infection), 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, and 16 wpi for the infection group. FgESP components interacting with sera from the non-infection and infection groups assay were pulled down by co-IP and identified using LC-MS/MS. Interacting FgESP components in infection group were subjected to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) metabolic pathway and gene ontology (GO) functional annotation to infer their potential functions. Results and discussion Proteins of FgESP components identified in the non-infection group at 3, 10, and 16 wpi accounted for 80.5%, 84.3%, and 82.1% of all proteins identified in these three time points, respectively, indicating surroundings did not affect buffalo immune response during maintenance. Four hundred and ninety proteins were identified in the infection group, of which 87 were consistently identified at 7 time points. Following GO analysis showed that most of these 87 proteins were in biological processes, while KEGG analysis showed they mainly functioned in metabolism and cellular processing, some of which were thought to functions throughout the infection process. The numbers of specific interactors identified for each week were 1 (n = 12), 3 (n = 5), 6 (n = 8), 8 (n = 15), 10 (n = 23), 13 (n = 22), and 16 (n = 14) wpi, some of which were thought to functions in specific infection process. This study screened the antigenic targets in FgESP during a dense time course over a long period. These findings may enhance the understanding of molecular F. gigantica-buffalo interactions and help identify new potential vaccine and drug target candidates.

Abstract
HSP90 are abundant molecular chaperones, assisting the folding of several hundred client proteins, including substrates involved in tumor growth or neurodegenerative diseases. A complex set of large ATP-driven structural changes occurs during HSP90 functional cycle. However, the existence of such structural rearrangements in apo HSP90 has remained unclear. Here, we identify a metastable excited state in the isolated human HSP90α ATP binding domain. We use solution NMR and mutagenesis to characterize structures of both ground and excited states. We demonstrate that in solution the HSP90α ATP binding domain transiently samples a functionally relevant ATP-lid closed state, distant by more than 30 Å from the ground state. NMR relaxation enables to derive information on the kinetics and thermodynamics of this interconversion, while molecular dynamics simulations establish that the ATP-lid in closed conformation is a metastable exited state. The precise description of the dynamics and structures sampled by human HSP90α ATP binding domain provides information for the future design of new therapeutic ligands.

Abstract
Analysis of ALS patient cell lines and cyclin-F overexpression and knockout cells identified HSP90AB1 as novel SCFcyclin-F substrate pointing to a loss-of-function mechanism for ALS CCNF mutations. The founding member of the F-box protein family, Cyclin-F, serves as a substrate adaptor for the E3 ligase Skp1-Cul1-F-box (SCF)Cyclin-F which is responsible for ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, DNA damage and mitotic fidelity. Missense mutations in CCNF encoding for Cyclin-F are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, it remains elusive whether CCNF mutations affect the substrate adaptor function of Cyclin-F and whether altered SCFCyclin-F–mediated ubiquitination contributes to pathogenesis in CCNF mutation carriers. To address these questions, we set out to identify new SCFCyclin-F targets in neuronal and ALS patient–derived cells. Mass spectrometry–based ubiquitinome profiling of CCNF knockout and mutant cell lines as well as Cyclin-F proximity and interaction proteomics converged on the HSP90 chaperone machinery as new substrate candidate. Biochemical analyses provided evidence for a Cyclin-F–dependent association and ubiquitination of HSP90AB1 and implied a regulatory role that could affect the binding of a number of HSP90 clients and co-factors. Together, our results point to a possible Cyclin-F loss-of-function–mediated chaperone dysregulation that might be relevant for ALS.

Abstract
Activation of client protein kinases by the HSP90 molecular chaperone system is affected by phosphorylation at multiple sites on HSP90, the kinase-specific co-chaperone CDC37, and the kinase client itself. Removal of regulatory phosphorylation from client kinases and their release from the HSP90-CDC37 system depends on the Ser/Thr phosphatase PP5, which associates with HSP90 via its N-terminal TPR domain. Here, we present the cryoEM structure of the oncogenic protein kinase client BRAFV600E bound to HSP90-CDC37, showing how the V600E mutation favours BRAF association with HSP90-CDC37. Structures of HSP90-CDC37-BRAFV600E complexes with PP5 in autoinhibited and activated conformations, together with proteomic analysis of its phosphatase activity on BRAFV600E and CRAF, reveal how PP5 is activated by recruitment to HSP90 complexes. PP5 comprehensively dephosphorylates client proteins, removing interaction sites for regulatory partners such as 14-3-3 proteins and thus performing a 'factory reset' of the kinase prior to release.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a ubiquitous chaperone to interact with numerous proteins to regulate multiple cellular processes, especially during cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Hsp90 exists in a high level in tumor cells and tissues, and thus serves as a prognostic biomarker or therapeutic target in cancers. We herein report that Hsp90 is subjected to S-glutathionylation, a redox-dependent modification to form a disulfide bond between the tripeptide glutathione and cysteine residues of proteins, primarily at C366 and C412 in the presence of reactive oxygen species. The modification led to the loss of the ATPase activity. The level of Hsp90 was obviously reduced by S-glutathionylation, owing to C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP)-mediated ubiquitin proteasome system. S-glutathionylation of Hsp90 was found to crosstalk with its C-terminal phosphorylation of Hsp90 that impedes the binding of Hsp90 with CHIP, demonstrating the importance of chaperone code in modulating Hsp90 function. Further biophysical analyses indicated that S-glutathionylation caused structural change of Hsp90, underlying the aforementioned functional regulation. Moreover, in accordance with the analysis of 64 samples collected from patients of breast cancer, the expression level of Hsp90 inversely correlated with the glutathionylated status of Hsp90. The ratio of total expression to glutathionylated status of Hsp90 was coherent to expression of biomarkers in breast cancer sample, potentiating the prognostic value in the cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hsp70 interactions are critical for cellular viability and the response to stress. Previous attempts to characterize Hsp70 interactions have been limited by their transient nature and the inability of current technologies to distinguish direct versus bridged interactions. We report the novel use of cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to comprehensively characterize the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) Hsp70 protein interactome. Using this approach, we have gained fundamental new insights into Hsp70 function, including definitive evidence of Hsp70 self-association as well as multipoint interaction with its client proteins. In addition to identifying a novel set of direct Hsp70 interactors that can be used to probe chaperone function in cells, we have also identified a suite of posttranslational modification (PTM)-associated Hsp70 interactions. The majority of these PTMs have not been previously reported and appear to be critical in the regulation of client protein function. These data indicate that one of the mechanisms by which PTMs contribute to protein function is by facilitating interaction with chaperones. Taken together, we propose that XL-MS analysis of chaperone complexes may be used as a unique way to identify biologically important PTMs on client proteins.

Abstract
African trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) and spread by the tsetse fly in sub-Saharan Africa. The trypanosome relies on heat shock proteins for survival in the insect vector and mammalian host. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays a crucial role in the stress response at the cellular level. Inhibition of its interactions with chaperones and co-chaperones is being explored as a potential therapeutic target for numerous diseases. This study provides an in silico overview of HSP90 and its co-chaperones in both T. brucei brucei and T. brucei gambiense in relation to human and other trypanosomal species, including non-parasitic Bodo saltans and the insect infecting Crithidia fasciculata. A structural analysis of T. brucei HSP90 revealed differences in the orientation of the linker and C-terminal domain in comparison to human HSP90. Phylogenetic analysis displayed the T. brucei HSP90 proteins clustering into three distinct groups based on subcellular localizations, namely, cytosol, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. Syntenic analysis of cytosolic HSP90 genes revealed that T. b. brucei encoded for 10 tandem copies, while T. b. gambiense encoded for three tandem copies; Leishmania major (L. major) had the highest gene copy number with 17 tandem copies. The updated information on HSP90 from recently published proteomics on T. brucei was examined for different life cycle stages and subcellular localizations. The results show a difference between T. b. brucei and T. b. gambiense with T. b. brucei encoding a total of twelve putative HSP90 genes, while T. b. gambiense encodes five HSP90 genes. Eighteen putative co-chaperones were identified with one notable absence being cell division cycle 37 (Cdc37). These results provide an updated framework on approaching HSP90 and its interactions as drug targets in the African trypanosome.

Abstract
The dynamic network of chaperone interactions known as the chaperome contributes significantly to the proteotoxic cell response and the malignant phenotype. To bypass the inherent redundancy in the network, we have used a microRNA (mir) approach to target multiple members of the chaperome simultaneously. We identified a potent microRNA, miR-570 that could bind the 3'untranslated regions of multiple HSP mRNAs and inhibit HSP synthesis. Transfection of cells with this miR species reduced expression of multiple HSPs, inhibited the heat shock response and reduced tumor cell growth while acted additively in combination with cytotoxic drugs. As overexpression of miR-570 elicited tumor suppressive effects, we inferred that this miR could play a potential role in inhibiting tumorigenesis and cancer cell growth. In accordance with this hypothesis, we determined a significant role for miR-570 in regulating markers of mammary tumor progression, including cell motility and invasion. Our data provide a proof of the principle that the tumor chaperome can be targeted by microRNAs suggesting a potential therapeutic avenue towards cancer therapy.

[PMID: 35928554 PMCID: PMC9345296 DOI: 10.1002/mco2.161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 89] [Impact Index Per Article: 44.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The heat shock proteins (HSPs) are ubiquitous and conserved protein families in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, and they maintain cellular proteostasis and protect cells from stresses. HSP protein families are classified based on their molecular weights, mainly including large HSPs, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, HSP40, and small HSPs. They function as molecular chaperons in cells and work as an integrated network, participating in the folding of newly synthesized polypeptides, refolding metastable proteins, protein complex assembly, dissociating protein aggregate dissociation, and the degradation of misfolded proteins. In addition to their chaperone functions, they also play important roles in cell signaling transduction, cell cycle, and apoptosis regulation. Therefore, malfunction of HSPs is related with many diseases, including cancers, neurodegeneration, and other diseases. In this review, we describe the current understandings about the molecular mechanisms of the major HSP families including HSP90/HSP70/HSP60/HSP110 and small HSPs, how the HSPs keep the protein proteostasis and response to stresses, and we also discuss their roles in diseases and the recent exploration of HSP related therapy and diagnosis to modulate diseases. These research advances offer new prospects of HSPs as potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
