Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) are a ubiquitous group of ATP-independent chaperones found in all three domains of life. Although sHsps in bacteria and eukaryotes have been studied extensively, little information was available on their archaeal homologs until recently. Interestingly, archaeal heat shock machinery is strikingly simplified, offering a minimal repertoire of heat shock proteins to mitigate heat stress. sHsps play a crucial role in preventing protein aggregation and holding unfolded protein substrates in a folding-competent form. Besides protein aggregation protection, archaeal sHsps have been shown recently to stabilize membranes and contribute to transferring captured substrate proteins to chaperonin for refolding. Furthermore, recent studies on archaeal sHsps have shown that environment-induced oligomeric plasticity plays a crucial role in maintaining their functional form. Despite being prokaryotes, the archaeal heat shock protein repository shares several features with its highly sophisticated eukaryotic counterpart. The minimal nature of the archaeal heat shock protein repository offers ample scope to explore the function and regulation of heat shock protein(s) to shed light on their evolution. Moreover, similar structural dynamics of archaeal and human sHsps have made the former an excellent system to study different chaperonopathies since archaeal sHsps are more stable under in vitro experiments.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an important fuel of life for humans and Mycobacterium species. Its potential role in modulating cellular functions and implications in systemic, pulmonary, and ocular diseases is well studied. Plasma ATP has been used as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker owing to its close association with disease’s progression. Several stresses induce altered ATP generation, causing disorders and illnesses. Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are dynamic oligomers that are dominantly β-sheet in nature. Some important functions that they exhibit include preventing protein aggregation, enabling protein refolding, conferring thermotolerance to cells, and exhibiting anti-apoptotic functions. Expression and functions of sHSPs in humans are closely associated with several diseases like cataracts, cardiovascular diseases, renal diseases, cancer, etc. Additionally, there are some mycobacterial sHSPs like Mycobacterium leprae HSP18 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis HSP16.3, whose molecular chaperone functions are implicated in the growth and survival of pathogens in host species. As both ATP and sHSPs, remain closely associated with several human diseases and survival of bacterial pathogens in the host, therefore substantial research has been conducted to elucidate ATP-sHSP interaction. In this mini review, the impact of ATP on the structure and function of human and mycobacterial sHSPs is discussed. Additionally, how such interactions can influence the onset of several human diseases is also discussed.

FEBS J 2021; 289:1080-1104.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins maintain protein homeostasis and facilitate the survival of an organism under stress. Archaeal heat shock machinery usually consists of only sHsps, Hsp70, and Hsp60. Moreover, Hsp70 is absent in thermophilic and hyperthermophilic archaea. In the absence of Hsp70, how aggregating protein substrates are transferred to Hsp60 for refolding remains elusive. Here, we investigated the crosstalk in the heat shock response pathway of thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. In the present study, we biophysically and biochemically characterized one of the small heat shock proteins, Hsp14, of S. acidocaldarius. Moreover, we investigated its ability to interact with Hsp20 and Hsp60 to facilitate the substrate proteins' folding under stress conditions. Like Hsp20, we demonstrated that the dimer is the active form of Hsp14, and it forms an oligomeric storage form at a higher temperature. More importantly, the dynamics of the Hsp14 oligomer are maintained by rapid subunit exchange between the dimeric states, and the rate of subunit exchange increases with increasing temperature. We also tested the ability of Hsp14 to form hetero-oligomers via subunit exchange with Hsp20. We observed hetero-oligomer formation only at higher temperatures (50 °C-70 °C). Furthermore, experiments were performed to investigate the interaction between small heat shock proteins and Hsp60. We demonstrated an enthalpy-driven direct physical interaction between Hsp14 and Hsp60. Our results revealed that Hsp14 could transfer sHsp-captured substrate proteins to Hsp60, which then refolds them back to their active form.

Abstract
Mycobacterium leprae, the causative organism of leprosy, harbors many antigenic proteins, and one such protein is the 18-kDa antigen. This protein belongs to the small heat shock protein family and is commonly known as HSP18. Its chaperone function plays an important role in the growth and survival of M. leprae inside infected hosts. HSP18/18-kDa antigen is often used as a diagnostic marker for determining the efficacy of multidrug therapy (MDT) in leprosy. However, whether MDT drugs (dapsone, clofazimine, and rifampicin) do interact with HSP18 and how these interactions affect its structure and chaperone function is still unclear. Here, we report evidence of HSP18-dapsone/clofazimine/rifampicin interaction and its impact on the structure and chaperone function of HSP18. These three drugs interact efficiently with HSP18 (having submicromolar binding affinity) with 1 : 1 stoichiometry. Binding of these MDT drugs to the 'α-crystallin domain' of HSP18 alters its secondary structure and tryptophan micro-environment. Furthermore, surface hydrophobicity, oligomeric size, and thermostability of the protein are reduced upon interaction with these three drugs. Eventually, all these structural alterations synergistically decrease the chaperone function of HSP18. Interestingly, the effect of rifampicin on the structure, stability, and chaperone function of this mycobacterial small heat shock protein is more pronounced than the other two MDT drugs. This reduction in the chaperone function of HSP18 may additionally abate M. leprae survivability during multidrug treatment. Altogether, this study provides a possible foundation for rational designing and development of suitable HSP18 inhibitors in the context of effective treatment of leprosy.

Abstract
Hsp16.3, a molecular chaperone, plays a vital role in the growth and survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis inside the host. We previously reported that deletion of three amino acid residues (142 STN144 ) from C-terminal extension (CTE) of Hsp16.3 triggers its structural perturbation and increases its chaperone activity, which reaches its apex upon the deletion of its entire CTE (141 RSTN144 ). Thus, we hypothesized that Arg141 (R141) and Ser142 (S142) in the CTE of Hsp16.3 possibly hold the key in maintaining its native-like structure and chaperone activity. To test this hypothesis, we generated two deletion mutants in which R141 and S142 were deleted individually (Hsp16.3ΔR141 and Hsp16.3ΔS142) and three substitution mutants in which R141 was replaced by lysine (Hsp16.3R141K), alanine (Hsp16.3R141A), and glutamic acid (Hsp16.3R141E), respectively. Hsp16.3ΔS142 or Hsp16.3R141K mutant has native-like structure and chaperone activity. Deletion of R141 from the CTE (Hsp16.3ΔR141) perturbs the secondary and tertiary structure, lowers the subunit exchange dynamics and decreases the chaperone activity of Hsp16.3. But, the substitution of R141 with alanine (Hsp16.3R141A) or glutamic acid (Hsp16.3R141E) perturbs its secondary and tertiary structure. Surprisingly, such charge tampering of R141 enhances the subunit exchange dynamics and chaperone activity of Hsp16.3. Interestingly, neither the deletion of R141/S142 nor the substitution of R141 with lysine, alanine and glutamic acid affects the oligomeric mass/size of Hsp16.3. Overall, our study suggests that R141 (especially the positive charge on R141) plays a crucial role in maintaining the native-like structure as well as in regulating subunit exchange dynamics and chaperone activity of Hsp16.3.

Abstract
Acylation of lysine residues is a common post-translational modification of cellular proteins. Here, we show that lysine succinylation, a type of acylation, occurs in human lens proteins. All of the major crystallins exhibited Nε-succinyllysine (SuccK) residues. Quantification of SuccK in human lens proteins (from donors between the ages of 20 and 73 years) by LC-MS/MS showed a range between 1.2 and 14.3 pmol/mg lens protein. The total SuccK levels were slightly reduced in aged lenses (age > 60 years) relative to young lenses (age < 30 years). Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that SuccK was present in epithelium and fiber cells. Western blotting and immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that SuccK is particularly prominent in αB-crystallin, and succinylation in vitro revealed that αB-crystallin is more prone to succinylation than αA-crystallin. Mass spectrometric analyses showed succinylation at K72, K90, K92, K166, K175, and potentially K174 in human lens αB-crystallin. We detected succinylation at K72, K82, K90, K92, K103, K121, K150, K166, K175, and potentially K174 by mass spectrometry in mildly succinylated αB-crystallin. Mild succinylation improved the chaperone activity of αB-crystallin along with minor perturbation in tertiary and quaternary structure of the protein. These observations imply that succinylation is beneficial to αB-crystallin by improving its chaperone activity with only mild conformational alterations.

Abstract
Tuberculosis, a contagious disease of infectious origin is currently a major cause of deaths worldwide. Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP), a saprophytic nonpathogen and a potent immunomodulator is currently being investigated as an intervention against tuberculosis along with many other diseases with positive outcome. The apparent paradox of multiple chaperones in mycobacterial species and enigma about the cellular functions of the client proteins of these chaperones need to be explored. Chaperones are the known immunomodulators; thus, there is need to exploit the proteome of MIP for identification and characterization of putative chaperones. One of the immunogenic proteins, MIP_05962 is a member of heat shock protein (HSP) 20 family due to the presence of α-crystallin domain, and has amino acid similarity with Mycobacterium lepraeHSP18 protein. The diverse functions of M. lepraeHSP18 in stress conditions implicate MIP_05962 as an important protein that needs to be explored. Biophysical and biochemical characterization of the said protein proved it to be a chaperone. The observations of aggregation prevention and refolding of substrate proteins in the presence of MIP_05962 along with interaction with non-native proteins, surface hydrophobicity, formation of large oligomers, in-vivo thermal rescue of Escherichia coli expressing MIP_05962, enhancing solubility of insoluble protein maltodextrin glucosidase (MalZ) under in-vivo conditions, and thermal stability and reversibility confirmed MIP_05962 as a molecular chaperone.
