Abstract
Human mitochondrial Hsp60 (mtHsp60) is a class I chaperonin, 51% identical in sequence to the prototypical E. coli chaperonin GroEL. mtHsp60 maintains the proteome within the mitochondrion and is associated with various neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. The oligomeric assembly of mtHsp60 into heptameric ring structures that enclose a folding chamber only occurs upon addition of ATP and is significantly more labile than that of GroEL, where the only oligomeric species is a tetradecamer. The lability of the mtHsp60 heptamer provides an opportunity to detect and visualize lower-order oligomeric states that may represent intermediates along the assembly/disassembly pathway. Using cryo-electron microscopy we show that, in addition to the fully-formed heptamer and an "inverted" tetradecamer in which the two heptamers associate via their apical domains, thereby blocking protein substrate access, well-defined lower-order oligomeric species, populated at less than 6% of the total particles, are observed. Specifically, we observe open trimers, tetramers, pentamers and hexamers (comprising ∼4% of the total particles) with rigid body rotations from one subunit to the next within ∼1.5-3.5° of that for the heptamer, indicating that these may lie directly on the assembly/disassembly pathway. We also observe a closed-ring hexamer (∼2% of the particles) which may represent an off-pathway species in the assembly/disassembly process in so far that conversion to the mature heptamer would require the closed-ring hexamer to open to accept an additional subunit. Lastly, we observe several classes of tetramers where additional subunits characterized by fuzzy electron density are caught in the act of oligomer extension.

Abstract
Constant evolution of omics-technologies has provided access to identification of various important gene families. Recently, genome assemblies on widely used ecotoxicological model species, including rotifers and copepods have been completed and representative detoxification-related gene families have been discovered for biomarker genes. However, despite ubiquitous presence of stress-response proteins, limited information on full genome-wide report on heat shock proteins (Hsps) is available. Various studies have demonstrated multiple cellular functions of Hsps in living organisms as an important biomarker in response to abiotic and biotic stressors, however, full genome-wide identification of Hsps, particularly in aquatic invertebrates, has not been reported. This is the first study to report the entire Hsps and basal gene expression levels in three regional-specific copepods: Tigriopus japonicus and kingsejongensis, Paracyclopina nana, and Eurytemora affnis, and how each Hsp family gene is regulated at a basal level.

Structural basis for active single and double ring complexes in human mitochondrial Hsp60-Hsp10 chaperonin. Nat Commun 2020; 11:1916.

Abstract
mHsp60-mHsp10 assists the folding of mitochondrial matrix proteins without the negative ATP binding inter-ring cooperativity of GroEL-GroES. Here we report the crystal structure of an ATP (ADP:BeF3-bound) ground-state mimic double-ring mHsp6014-(mHsp107)2 football complex, and the cryo-EM structures of the ADP-bound successor mHsp6014-(mHsp107)2 complex, and a single-ring mHsp607-mHsp107 half-football. The structures explain the nucleotide dependence of mHsp60 ring formation, and reveal an inter-ring nucleotide symmetry consistent with the absence of negative cooperativity. In the ground-state a two-fold symmetric H-bond and a salt bridge stitch the double-rings together, whereas only the H-bond remains as the equatorial gap increases in an ADP football poised to split into half-footballs. Refolding assays demonstrate obligate single- and double-ring mHsp60 variants are active, and complementation analysis in bacteria shows the single-ring variant is as efficient as wild-type mHsp60. Our work provides a structural basis for active single- and double-ring complexes coexisting in the mHsp60-mHsp10 chaperonin reaction cycle.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) overexpresses in various types of cancer, but its expression levels and functions in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are still in dispute. We aim to clarify this issue and examine whether HSP60 could be a therapeutic target for HCC. We found drastically enhanced cell apoptosis and suppressed cell proliferation in two HCC cell lines with HSP60-silencing, and also indicated survivin was involved in this regulatory process in vitro and in vivo. However, HSP60-silencing in normal human hepatocytes only resulted in a minimal reduction of cell proliferation but without effects on cell apoptosis. We also showed HSP60 interacted with cytosolic but not mitochondrial survivin by immunoprecipitation assay. A rigorous method was used to standardize quantification from immunoblot assay to obtain more precise expression levels of HSP60 and survivin. The expression of HSP60 and survivin positively correlated in both cancerous and non-cancerous liver tissues (P < 0.001) after analyzing 145 surgically removed HCC tissues. A total of 56.6% of HCC patients overexpressed HSP60 in cancerous tissues, and 40.0% under-expressed HSP60. Higher expression of HSP60 and survivin in non-cancerous tissues both correlated with shorter overall survival (P = 0.029 and P < 0.001, respectively). Finally, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of HSP60 using extraneous delivery of jetPEI/shHSP60 complexes. The treatment results showed significant reduction of tumor weight by 44.3% (P < 0.05), accompanied by under-expression of survivin. These studies suggested that HSP60 not only served as a prognostic marker but also served as a novel therapeutic target for HCC.

Abstract
The focus of this review is to summarise the known relationships between the expression of heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) and its association with the pathogenesis of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hsp60 is a mitochondrial stress protein that is induced by mitochondrial impairment. It is known to be secreted from a number of cell types and circulating levels have been documented in both Types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The biological significance of extracellular Hsp60, however, remains to be established. We will examine the links between Hsp60 and cellular anti- and proinflammatory processes and specifically address how Hsp60 appears to affect immune inflammation by at least two different mechanisms: as a ligand for innate immune receptors and as an antigen recognised by adaptive immune receptors. We will also look at the role of Hsp60 during immune cell activation in atherosclerosis, a significant risk factor during the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The chloroplast cpn20 protein is a functional homolog of the cpn10 co-chaperonin, but its gene consists of two cpn10-like units joined head-to-tail by a short chain of amino acids. This double protein is unique to plastids and was shown to exist in plants as well plastid-containing parasites. In vitro assays showed that this cpn20 co-chaperonin is a functional homolog of cpn10. In terms of structure, existing data indicate that the oligomer is tetrameric, yet it interacts with a heptameric cpn60 partner. Thus, the functional oligomeric structure remains a mystery. In this review, we summarize what is known about this distinctive chaperonin and use a bioinformatics approach to examine the expression of cpn20 in Arabidopsis thaliana relative to other chaperonin genes in this species. In addition, we examine the primary structure of the two homologous domains for similarities and differences, in comparison with cpn10 from other species. Lastly, we hypothesize as to the oligomeric structure and raison d'être of this unusual co-chaperonin homolog.

Abstract
We have previously reported the association of a mutation (c.292G > A/p.V98I) in the human HSPD1 gene that encodes the mitochondrial Hsp60 chaperonin with a dominantly inherited form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. Here, we show that the purified Hsp60-(p.V98I) chaperonin displays decreased ATPase activity and exhibits a strongly reduced capacity to promote folding of denatured malate dehydrogenase in vitro. To test its in vivo functions, we engineered a bacterial model system that lacks the endogenous chaperonin genes and harbors two plasmids carrying differentially inducible operons with human Hsp10 and wild-type Hsp60 or Hsp10 and Hsp60-(p.V98I), respectively. Ten hours after shutdown of the wild-type chaperonin operon and induction of the Hsp60-(p.V98I)/Hsp10 mutant operon, bacterial cell growth was strongly inhibited. No globally increased protein aggregation was observed, and microarray analyses showed that a number of genes involved in metabolic pathways, some of which are essential for robust aerobic growth, were strongly up-regulated in Hsp60-(p.V98I)-expressing bacteria, suggesting that the growth arrest was caused by defective folding of some essential proteins. Co-expression of Hsp60-(p.V98I) and wild-type Hsp60 exerted a dominant negative effect only when the chaperonin genes were expressed at relatively low levels. Based on our in vivo and in vitro data, we propose that the major effect of heterozygosity for the Hsp60-(p.V98I) mutation is a moderately decreased activity of chaperonin complexes composed of mixed wild-type and Hsp60-(p.V98I) mutant subunits.

Abstract
The heat shock chaperones mortalin/mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mtHsp70) and Hsp60 are found in multiple subcellular sites and function in the folding and intracellular trafficking of many proteins. The chaperoning activity of these 2 proteins involves different structural and functional mechanisms. In spite of providing an excellent model for an evolutionarily conserved molecular "brotherhood", their individual functions, although overlapping, are nonredundant. As they travel to various locations, both chaperones acquire different binding partners and exert a more divergent involvement in tumorigenesis, cellular senescence, and immunology. An understanding of their functional biology may lead to novel designing and development of therapeutic strategies for cancer and aging.

Abstract
Epolactaene is a microbial metabolite isolated from Penicillium sp., from which we synthesized its derivative ETB (epolactaene tertiary butyl ester). In the present paper, we report on the identification of the binding proteins of epolactaene/ETB, and the results of our investigation into its inhibitory mechanism. Using biotin-labelled derivatives of epolactaene/ETB, human Hsp (heat-shock protein) 60 was identified as a binding protein of epolactaene/ETB in vitro as well as in situ. In addition, we found that Hsp60 pre-incubated with epolactaene/ETB lost its chaperone activity. The in vitro binding study showed that biotin-conjugated epolactaene/ETB covalently binds to Hsp60. In order to investigate the binding site, binding experiments with alanine mutants of Hsp60 cysteine residues were conducted. As a result, it was suggested that Cys442 is responsible for the covalent binding with biotin-conjugated epolactaene/ETB. Furthermore, the replacement of Hsp60 Cys442 with an alanine residue renders the chaperone activity resistant to ETB inhibition, while the alanine replacement of other cysteine residues do not. These results indicate that this cysteine residue is alkylated by ETB, leading to Hsp60 inactivation.

Abstract
Proteins that bind ATP and GTP are important cellular components. We developed an immunological approach to selectively tag nucleotide-binding proteins based on the use of 5'-[4-(fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]adenosine and 5'-[4-(fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]guanosine affinity tags and an antibody against 4-(sulfonyl)benzoate. Detection follows affinity labeling, gel electrophoresis, and ester bond cleavage to expose the epitope. Trial analyses of labeled proteins from lymphoid cells identified multiple ATP-binding proteins, including chaperones, actin, kinases, an RNA splicing factor, a membrane ATPase, and ATP synthase.

Abstract
We previously reported that, in human heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 (hHsp90), there are 4 highly immunogenic sites, designated sites Ia, Ib, Ic, and II. This study was performed to further characterize their epitopes and to identify the epitope that is potentially common to all members of the Hsp90 family. Panning of a bacterial library carrying randomized dodecapeptides revealed that Glu251-Ser-X-Asp254 constituted site Ia and Pro295-Ile-Trp-Thr-Arg299, site Ic. Site II (Asp701-Pro717) was composed of several epitopes. When 19 anti-hHsp90 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were subjected to immunoblotting against recombinant forms of 7 Hsp90-family members, 2 mAbs (K41110 and K41116C) that recognized site Ic bound to yeast Hsp90 with affinity identical to that for hHsp90, and 1 mAb (K3729) that recognized Glu222-Ala23, of hHsp90beta could bind to human 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp94), an endoplasmic reticulum paralog of Hsp90. Among the 5 amino acids constituting site Ic, Trp297 and Pro295 were essential for recognition by all anti-site-Ic mAbs, and Arg299 was important for most of them. The necessity of Ile296, Thr298, and Arg299, which are replaced by Leu, Met/Leu, and Lys, respectively, in some eukaryotic Hsp90, was dependent on the mAbs, and K41110 and K41116C could react with Hsp90s carrying these substitutions. From these data taken together, we propose that the pentapeptide Pro295-Ile-Trp-Thr-Arg299 of hHsp90 functions as an immunodominant epitope common to all eukaryotic Hsp90.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), including unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (MI), are clinical manifestations of a progressive atherosclerotic process. Antibodies (Ab) to heat shock proteins (hsp) have been reported to be associated with atherosclerosis. Blood samples from 35 patients with ACS and 20 healthy volunteers were tested for Ab to human hsp60 by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Levels of specific serum Ab against hsp60 were significantly elevated in patients with ACS when compared to clinically healthy subjects. To determine the antigenic determinants recognized by these Ab, antibody binding to seven peptides, selected from the hydrophilic and acrophilic regions of the human hsp60 molecule, was assessed. Despite the individual variation in the immune response among patients, one immunodominant region was revealed corresponding to the hsp60 (409-424) peptide. The identification of this epitope may be important for understanding the function of this protein in the atherosclerotic process.

Abstract
The heat shock protein Hsp65 has been characterized previously in several mycobacterial species. This is the first report of the complete sequence of the coding region of the Mycobacterium avium homologue. The sequence was highly homologous to the Hsp65 of other mycobacterial species, as well as being related closely to the murine and human homologues. Recombinant Hsp65 (rHsp65) was expressed in Escherichia coli to high levels and the recombinant protein tested for its immunogenicity in a murine model of M. avium infection. Although mice infected with M. avium produced antibodies that reacted with rHsp65, they showed low proliferative T-cell responses and no cytokine production in response to the same antigen. However, immunization with rHsp65 in the adjuvant dimethydioctadecylammonium bromide (DDA), induced T cells that responded to native Hsp65 with proliferation and IFN-gamma production, indicating that the recombinant and native forms of the protein were antigenically similar. Therefore, the findings indicate that Hsp65 is not a dominant T-cell antigen during M. avium infection.

Abstract
Previous studies showed that hepatitis B virus polymerase (HBV Pol) interacts with host factors such as the Hsp90 complex, which is a critical step in viral genome replication. In this report, we propose that another chaperone, Hsp60, interacts with human HBV Pol and that this is a very important step for maturation of human HBV Pol into the active state. In the immunoprecipitation of recombinant human HBV Pol expressed in insect cells with the recombinant baculovirus expression system, the 60-kDa protein was coimmunoprecipitated with Pol and the protein was identified as Hsp60 through peptide sequencing and immunogenic analysis with an anti-Hsp60 antibody. In vitro experiments showed that Hsp60 strongly affected human HBV Pol activity in that (i) blocking of Hsp60 by the protein-specific antibody reduced human HBV Pol activity, (ii) the activity was increased by addition of Hsp60 in the presence of ATP, and (iii) ATP synergistically activated human HBV Pol with Hsp60. In vivo experiments showed that inhibition of Hsp60 in cells by a mutant Hsp60, C Delta 540, resulted in the reduction of human HBV Pol activity. In summary, our results indicate that the interaction is significant for conversion of human HBV Pol into the active state.

Abstract
A new 55-kDa HDL/apolipoprotein binding protein was demonstrated in plasma membrane preparations of the human cell lines and primary cultured hepatocytes. Analysis of specific binding by ligand immunoblots of HDL, apoA-I, and apoA-II to a partially purified 55-kDa PA-I plasma membrane preparation demonstrated a K(d,HDL) = 50 nM (10 microg/ml), K(d,apoA-II) = 20 nM (0.4 microg/ml), and K(d, apoA-I) = 330 nM (10 microg/ml). Following preparative SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of a plasma membrane preparation isolated from human PA-I cells, fractions with apoA-II binding activity were collected, concentrated, and subjected to two-dimensional electrophoresis. Internal microprotein sequencing of the 55-kDa protein band revealed the binding protein as being heat shock protein 60 (hsp60). The hsp60 monoclonal antibody LK-1 blocked apoA-II binding to the 55-kDa HBP preparation. In summary, these results provide a potential mechanism to explain the known association between immunity developed against hsp60 and the development of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Chaperonins participate in the facilitated folding of a variety of proteins in vivo. To see whether the same spectrum of target proteins can be productively folded by the double-ring prokaryotic chaperonin GroEL-GroES and its single-ring human mitochondrial homolog, Hsp60-Hsp10, we expressed the latter in an Escherichia coli strain engineered so that the groE operon is under strict regulatory control. We found that expression of Hsp60-Hsp10 restores viability to cells that no longer express GroEL-GroES, formally demonstrating that Hsp60-Hsp10 can carry out all essential in vivo functions of GroEL-GroES.

Abstract
The heat shock protein hsp60 plays a functional role in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The hsp60 epitope p277 (aa 437-aa 460) is effective in vaccinating mice against diabetes. A synthetic peptide gene (p277) that encodes the human hsp60 epitope was cloned to the 3' end of the cellulose-binding domain gene (cbd). CBD-p277 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified on a cellulose column. A methionine at the C-terminal end of CBD enabled CNBr cleavage between CBD and p277. After CNBr cleavage, free CBD and residual uncleaved CBD-p277 were recovered by cellulose chromatography. The p277 peptide was further purified on a RPC-FPLC column. The molecular weight of the recombinant peptide was confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry. The recombinant peptide was found to be biologically active in assays involving clone C9 T-cell proliferation, lymph-node cell proliferation, and antibody production. Thus the use of CBD as an affinity tag and the utilization of affordable cellulose matrices offers an attractive method for the production and purification of recombinant peptides.

Abstract
Facilitated protein folding by the double toroidal bacterial chaperonin, GroEL/GroES, proceeds by a "two-stroke engine" mechanism in which an allosteric interaction between the two rings synchronizes the reaction cycle by controlling the binding and release of cochaperonin. Using chimeric chaperonin molecules assembled by fusing equatorial and apical domains derived from GroEL and its mammalian mitochondrial homolog, Hsp60, we show that productive folding by Hsp60 and its cognate cochaperonin, Hsp10, proceeds in vitro and in vivo without the formation of a two-ring structure. This simpler "one-stroke" engine works because Hsp60 has a different mechanism for the release of its cochaperonin cap and bound target protein.

Abstract
This paper describes the process of dimer assembly of mitochondrial very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) subunit. Mature VLCAD is a homodimer of a 70-kDa protein associated with the mitochondrial membrane. Newly synthesized VLCAD was present as a monomer and the major fraction was associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane. The association of VLCAD subunit with the mitochondrial membrane was observed early during dimer formation. In contrast, a VLCAD monomeric mutant S583W, a novel mutation identified from a patient with VLCAD deficiency, did not associate with the mitochondrial membrane after import and the major fraction remained in the mitochondrial matrix. These results suggest that association of VLCAD protein with mitochondrial inner membrane is necessary for dimer assembly and formation of mature VLCAD.

Abstract
Chaperonins are a class of stress-inducible molecular chaperones involved in protein folding. We report the cloning, sequencing and characterisation of the rat mitochondrial chaperonin 60 and chaperonin 10 genes. The two genes are arranged in a head-to-head configuration and together comprise 14 kb and contain 14 introns. The genes are linked together by a region of approximately 280 bp, which constitutes a bidirectional promoter and includes a common heat-shock element. Insertion of the shared promoter region between two reporter genes is sufficient to drive their expression under both constitutive and heat-shock conditions. The arrangement of the mammalian chaperonin genes suggests the potential to provide the coordinated regulation of their products in a manner that is mechanistically distinct from, yet conceptually similar to, that employed by the bacterial chaperonin (groE) operon.

Abstract
Recent findings support the premise that chaperonins (60 kDa stress-proteins) and alpha-subunits of F-type ATPases (alpha-ATPase) are evolutionary related protein families. Two-dimensional gel patterns of synthesized proteins in unstressed and heat-shocked embryonic Drosophila melanogaster SL2 cells revealed that antibodies raised against the alpha-subunit of the F1-ATPase complex from rat liver recognize an inducible p71 member of the 70 kDa stress-responsive protein family. Molecular recognition of this stress-responsive 70 kDa protein by antibodies raised against the F1-ATPase alpha-subunit suggests the possibility of partial sequence similarity within these ATP-binding protein families. A multiple sequence alignment between alpha-ATPases and 60 kDa and 70 kDa molecular chaperones is presented. Statistical evaluation of sequence similarity reveals a significant degree of sequence conservation within the three protein families. The finding suggests a common evolutionary origin for the ATPases and molecular chaperone protein families of 60 kDa and 70 kDa, despite the lack of obvious structural resemblance between them.

Abstract
We report the isolation and characterization of a gene (designated mcp60) encoding the mitochondrial (mt) 60-kDa heat-shock protein (HSP60) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The deduced amino-acid sequence (582 aa) of this gene is highly similar to the known mt HSP60 from diverse organisms. When its sequence was related to the known functional domains of bacterial HSP60 (GroEL), the similarity was particularly high for the intermediate domains that connect the apical domain with the equatorial domain. The mRNA level of mcp60 increased several-fold upon temperature upshift (from 25 to 35 degrees C), while gradually decreased during sporulation. Gene disruption experiments revealed that mcp60 is essential for cell viability at all temperatures.

Abstract
We have identified, by differential cDNA library screening, 15 serum inducible genes in the human diploid fibroblast cell line WI-38. The genes fall into two classes that are distinguished by their dependence on protein synthesis for the induction by serum, i.e., primary and secondary genes. While 11 of these genes encode known proteins, 4 other genes have not been described to date. The former genes encode proteins of diverse functions, including the monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MONAP), calmodulin, tropomyosin, tenascin, collagenase, plasminogen activator inhibitor-2a, the ‘sperm-specific’ cleavage signal-1 protein, metallothionein IIa and the mitochondrial chaperonin hsp-60. Interestingly, one of the unknown genes contains a large open reading frame for a polypeptide that is highly homologous to a previously unidentified long open reading frame in the opposite strand of the gene coding for the transcription factor HTF-4. We also studied the regulation of these serum-induced genes during cell cycle progression in normally cycling WI-38 and HL-60 cells separated by counterflow elutriation as well as in serum-stimulated HL-60 cells. Our results clearly show that, in contrast to the prevailing opinion, the expression of most genes induced after mitogen stimulation is not subject to a significant regulation in normally proliferating cells. This supports the hypothesis that the progression into S from either G0 or G1 are distinct processes with specific patterns of gene expression.

Abstract
In contrast to other bacterial species, mycobacteria were thus far considered to contain groEL and groES genes that are present on separate loci on their chromosomes, Here, by screening a Mycobacterium leprae lambda gt11 expression library with serum from an Ethiopian lepromatous leprosy patient, two DNA clones were isolated that contain a groEL gene arranged in an operon with a groES gene. The complete DNA sequence of this groESL operon was determined. The predicted amino acid sequences of the GroES and GroEL proteins encoded by this operon are 85-90% and 59-61% homologous to the sequences from previously characterized mycobacterial GroES and GroEL proteins. Southern blotting analyses with M. leprae groES- and groEL-specific probes demonstrate that similar groESL homologous DNA is present in the genomes of other mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This strongly suggests that mycobacteria contain a groESL operon in addition to a separately arranged second groEL gene. Using five T-cell clones from two leprosy patients as probes, expression of the M. leprae GroES protein in Escherichia coli after heat shock was demonstrated. Four of these clones recognized the same M. leprae-specific GroES-derived peptide in a DR2-restricted fashion. No expression of the groEL gene from this operon was detected in E. coli after heat shock, as tested with a panel of T-cell clones and monoclonal antibodies reactive to previously described GroEL proteins of mycobacteria.
