Abstract
Type I restriction-modification (RM) systems are comprised of two multi-subunit enzymes, the methyltransferase (∼160 kDa), responsible for methylation of DNA, and the restriction endonuclease (∼400 kDa), responsible for DNA cleavage. Both enzymes share a number of subunits. An engineered RM system, EcoR124I(NT), based on the N-terminal domain of the specificity subunit of EcoR124I was constructed that recognises the symmetrical sequence GAAN(7)TTC and is active as a methyltransferase. Here, we investigate the restriction endonuclease activity of R. EcoR124I(NT)in vitro and the subunit assembly of the multi-subunit enzyme. Finally, using small-angle neutron scattering and selective deuteration, we present a low-resolution structural model of the endonuclease and locate the motor subunits within the multi-subunit enzyme. We show that the covalent linkage between the two target recognition domains of the specificity subunit is not required for subunit assembly or enzyme activity, and discuss the implications for the evolution of Type I enzymes.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) targets a broad spectrum of client proteins with divergent modes of interaction and consequences. The homologous epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ERBB2 receptors as well as kinase-deficient mutants thereof differ in their requirement for HSP90 in the nascent versus mature state of the receptor. Specific features of the kinase domain have been implicated for the selective association of HSP90 with mature ERBB2. We evaluated the role of HSP90 for the homologous ERBB3 receptor. ERBB3 is naturally kinase deficient, a central mediator in cell survival and stress response and the primary dimerization partner for ERBB2 in signaling. Cellular studies indicate that, similar to EGFR, the geldanamycin (GA) sensitivity of ERBB3 and HSP90 binding resides in the nascent state and is dependent on the presence of the kinase domain of ERBB3. Furthermore, despite its intrinsic lack of kinase activity and in contrast to the reported GA sensitivity of mature and kinase-deficient EGFR, the GA sensitivity of the nascent state of ERBB3 appears to be exclusive. Geldanamycin disrupts the interaction of ERBB3 and HSP90 and inhibits ERBB3 maturation at an early stage of synthesis, prior to export from the ER. Studies with a photo-convertible fusion protein of ERBB3 suggest geldanamycin sensitivity at a later stage in maturation, possibly through the putative role of HSP90 in structural proofreading.

Abstract
The Type I R-M system EcoR124I is encoded by three genes. HsdM is responsible for modification (DNA methylation), HsdS for DNA sequence specificity and HsdR for restriction endonuclease activity. The trimeric methyltransferase (M(2)S) recognises the asymmetric sequence (GAAN(6)RTCG). An engineered R-M system, denoted EcoR124I(NT), has two copies of the N-terminal domain of the HsdS subunit of EcoR124I, instead of a single S subunit with two domains, and recognises the symmetrical sequence GAAN(7)TTC. We investigate the methyltransferase activity of EcoR124I(NT), characterise the enzyme and its subunits by analytical ultracentrifugation and obtain low-resolution structural models from small-angle neutron scattering experiments using contrast variation and selective deuteration of subunits.

Abstract
Hsc/Hsp70-interacting protein (HIP) is a rapidly evolving Hsp70 cofactor. Analyses of multiple Drosophila species indicate that the HIP gene is duplicated only in D. melanogaster. The HIP region, in fact, contains seven distinctly evolving duplicated genes. The regional duplication occurred in two steps, fixed rapidly, and illustrates multiple modes of duplicate gene evolution. HIP and its duplicate HIP-R are adaptively evolving in a manner unique to the region: they exhibit elevated divergence from other drosophilids and low polymorphism within D. melanogaster. HIP and HIP-R are virtually identical, share polymorphisms, and are subject to gene conversion. In contrast, two other duplicate genes in the region, CG33221 and GP-CG32779, are pseudogenes, and the chimeric gene Crg1 is subject to balancing selection. HIP and HIP-R are evolving rapidly and adaptively; however, positive selection is not sufficient to explain the molecular evolution of the region as a whole.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a highly abundant chaperone whose clientele includes hundreds of cellular proteins, many of which are central players in key signal transduction pathways and the majority of which are protein kinases. In light of the variety of Hsp90 clientele, the mechanism of selectivity of the chaperone toward its client proteins is a major open question. Focusing on human kinases, we have demonstrated that the chaperone recognizes a common surface in the amino-terminal lobe of kinases from diverse families, including two newly identified clients, NFkappaB-inducing kinase and death-associated protein kinase, and the oncoprotein HER2/ErbB-2. Surface electrostatics determine the interaction with the Hsp90 chaperone complex such that introduction of a negative charge within this region disrupts recognition. Compiling information on the Hsp90 dependence of 105 protein kinases, including 16 kinases whose relationship to Hsp90 is first examined in this study, reveals that surface features, rather than a contiguous amino acid sequence, define the capacity of the Hsp90 chaperone machine to recognize client kinases. Analyzing Hsp90 regulation of two major signaling cascades, the mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, leads us to propose that the selectivity of the chaperone to specific kinases is functional, namely that Hsp90 controls kinases that function as hubs integrating multiple inputs. These lessons bear significance to pharmacological attempts to target the chaperone in human pathologies, such as cancer.

Abstract
A variety of cellular internal and external stress conditions can be classified as proteotoxic stresses. Proteotoxic stresses can be defined as stresses that increase the fraction of proteins that are in an unfolded state, thereby enhancing the probability of the formation of intracellular aggregates. These aggregates, if not disposed, can lead to cell death. In response to the appearance of damaged proteins, cells induce the expression of heat shock proteins. These can function as molecular chaperones to prevent protein aggregation and to keep proteins in a state competent for either refolding or degradation. Most knowledge of the function and regulation (by co-factors) of individual heat shock proteins comes from cell free studies on refolding of heat- or chemically denatured, purified proteins. Unlike the experimental situation in a test tube, cells contain multiple chaperones and co-factors often moving in and out different subcompartments that contain a variety of protein substrates at different folding states. Also, within cells folding competes with the degradative machinery. In this chapter, an overview will be provided on how the main cytosolic/nuclear chaperone Hsp70 is regulated, what is known about its interaction with other main cytosolic/nuclear chaperone families (Hsp27, Hsp90, and Hsp110), and how it may function as a molecular chaperone in living mammalian cells to protect against proteotoxic stresses.

Abstract
We have cloned the M and S genes of the restriction-modification (R-M) system AhdI and have purified the resulting methyltransferase to homogeneity. M.AhdI is found to form a 170 kDa tetrameric enzyme having a subunit stoichiometry M2S2 (where the M and S subunits are responsible for methylation and DNA sequence specificity, respectively). Sedimentation equilibrium experiments show that the tetrameric enzyme dissociates to form a heterodimer at low concentration, with K(d) approximately 2 microM. The intact (tetrameric) enzyme binds specifically to a 30 bp DNA duplex containing the AhdI recognition sequence GACN5GTC with high affinity (K(d) approximately 50 nM), but at low enzyme concentration the DNA binding activity is governed by the dissociation of the tetramer into dimers, leading to a sigmoidal DNA binding curve. In contrast, only non-specific binding is observed if the duplex lacks the recognition sequence. Methylation activity of the purified enzyme was assessed by its ability to prevent restriction by the cognate endonuclease. The subunit structure of the M.AhdI methyltransferase resembles that of type I MTases, in contrast to the R.AhdI endonuclease which is typical of type II systems. AhdI appears to be a novel R-M system with properties intermediate between simple type II systems and more complex type I systems, and may represent an intermediate in the evolution of R-M systems.

Abstract
Murine stress-inducible protein 1 (mSTI1) is a co-chaperone that is homologous with the human Hsp70/Hsp90-organizing protein (Hop). Guided by Hop structural data and sequence alignment analyses, we have used site-directed mutagenesis, co-precipitation assays, circular dichroism spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence, and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy to both qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the contacts necessary for the N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat domain (TPR1) of mSTI1 to bind to heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70) and to discriminate between Hsc70 and Hsp90. We have shown that substitutions in the first TPR motif of Lys(8) or Asn(12) did not affect binding of mSTI1 to Hsc70, whereas double substitution of these residues abrogated binding. A substitution in the second TPR motif of Asn(43) lowered but did not abrogate binding. Similarly, a deletion in the second TPR motif coupled with a substitution of Lys(8) or Asn(12) reduced but did not abrogate binding. These results suggest that mSTI1-Hsc70 interaction requires a network of interactions not only between charged residues in the TPR1 domain of mSTI1 and the EEVD motif of Hsc70 but also outside the TPR domain. We propose that the electrostatic interactions in the first TPR motif made by Lys(8) or Asn(12) define part of the minimum interactions required for successful mSTI1-Hsc70 interaction. Using a truncated derivative of mSTI1 incapable of binding to Hsp90, we substituted residues on TPR1 potentially involved in hydrophobic contacts with Hsc70. The modified protein had reduced binding to Hsc70 but now showed significant binding capacity for Hsp90. In contrast, topologically equivalent substitutions on a truncated derivative of mSTI1 incapable of binding to Hsc70 did not confer Hsc70 specificity on TPR2A. Our results suggest that binding of Hsc70 to TPR1 is more specific than binding of Hsp90 to TPR2A with serious implications for the mechanisms of mSTI1 interactions with Hsc70 and Hsp90 in vivo.

Abstract
Functional steroid receptor complexes are assembled and maintained by an ordered pathway of interactions involving multiple components of the cellular chaperone machinery. Two of these components, Hop and Hip, serve as co-chaperones to the major heat shock proteins (Hsps), Hsp70 and Hsp90, and participate in intermediate stages of receptor assembly. In an effort to better understand the functions of Hop and Hip in the assembly process, we focused on a region of similarity located near the C-terminus of each co-chaperone. Contained within this region is a repeated sequence motif we have termed the DP repeat. Earlier mutagenesis studies implicated the DP repeat of either Hop or Hip in Hsp70 binding and in normal assembly of the co-chaperones with progesterone receptor (PR) complexes. We report here that the DP repeat lies within a protease-resistant domain that extends to or is near the C-terminus of both co-chaperones. Point mutations in the DP repeats render the C-terminal regions hypersensitive to proteolysis. In addition, a Hop DP mutant displays altered proteolytic digestion patterns, which suggest that the DP-repeat region influences the folding of other Hop domains. Although the respective DP regions of Hop and Hip share sequence and structural similarities, they are not functionally interchangeable. Moreover, a double-point mutation within the second DP-repeat unit of Hop that converts this to the sequence found in Hip disrupts Hop function; however, the corresponding mutation in Hip does not alter its function. We conclude that the DP repeats are important structural elements within a C-terminal domain, which is important for Hop and Hip function.

Abstract
Cyclophilin 40 (CyP40) is a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing immunophilin and a modulator of steroid receptor function through its binding to heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Critical to this binding are the carboxyl-terminal MEEVD motif of Hsp90 and the TPR domain of CyP40. Two different models of the CyP40-MEEVD peptide interaction were used as the basis for a comprehensive mutational analysis of the Hsp90-interacting domain of CyP40. Using a carboxyl-terminal CyP40 construct as template, 24 amino acids from the TPR and flanking acidic and basic domains were individually mutated by site-directed mutagenesis, and the mutants were coexpressed in yeast with a carboxyl-terminal Hsp90beta construct and qualitatively assessed for binding using a beta-galactosidase filter assay. For quantitative assessment, mutants were expressed as glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins and assayed for binding to carboxyl-terminal Hsp90beta using conventional pulldown and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay microtiter plate assays. Collectively, the models predict that the following TPR residues help define a binding groove for the MEEVD peptide: Lys-227, Asn-231, Phe-234, Ser-274, Asn-278, Lys-308, and Arg-312. Mutational analysis identified five of these residues (Lys-227, Asn-231, Asn-278, Lys-308, and Arg-312) as essential for Hsp90 binding. The other two residues (Phe-234 and Ser-274) and another three TPR domain residues not definitively associated with the binding groove (Leu-284, Lys-285, and Asp-329) are required for efficient Hsp90 binding. These data confirm the critical importance of the MEEVD binding groove in CyP40 for Hsp90 recognition and reveal that additional charged and hydrophobic residues within the CyP40 TPR domain are required for Hsp90 binding.

Abstract
The highly coordinated interactions of several molecular chaperones, including hsp70 and hsp90, are required for the folding and conformational regulation of a variety of proteins in eukaryotic cells, such as steroid hormone receptors and many other signal transduction regulators. The protein called Hop serves as an adaptor protein for hsp70 and hsp90 and is thought to optimize their functional cooperation. Here we characterize the assembly of the hsp70-Hop-hsp90 complex and reveal interactions that cause conformational changes between the proteins in the complex. We found that hsp40 plays an integral role in the assembly by enhancing the binding of hsp70 to the Hop complex. This is accomplished by stimulating the conversion of hsp70-ATP to hsp70-ADP, the hsp70 conformation favored for Hop binding. The hsp70-Hop-hsp90 complex is highly dynamic, as has been observed previously for hsp90 in its interaction with client proteins. Nonetheless, hsp90 binds with high affinity to Hop (K(d) = 90 nm), and this binding is not affected by hsp70. hsp70 binds with lower affinity to Hop (K(d) = 1.3 microm) on its own, but this affinity is increased (K(d) = 250 nm) in the presence of hsp90. hsp90 also reduces the number of hsp70 binding sites on the Hop dimer from two sites in the absence of hsp90 to one site in its presence. Hop can inhibit the ATP binding and p23 binding activity of hsp90, yet this can be reversed if hsp70 is present in the complex. Taken together, our results suggest that the assembly of hsp70-Hop-hsp90 complexes is selective and influences the conformational state of each protein.

Abstract
A human aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor signalling pathway was constructed in yeast and used to identify regulatory proteins that may be related to those present in mammalian cells. The sequence similarity of human hepatitis B protein X-associated protein 2 (XAP2) protein to yeast Cpr7 and Cns1 proteins suggested that these proteins might be involved in Ah receptor signalling in this model system. Ah receptor signalling from a lacZ reporter gene was reduced by approximately 60% in cells that lacked Cpr7. In vitro interaction experiments indicated that a Cpr7-GST fusion protein and Ah receptor formed a complex. Expression of Cpr7, Cns1 and the isolated tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) region of Cpr7 from plasmids restored Ah receptor signalling function in the Cpr7-deficient strain. Thus, Cpr7 and Cns1 proteins facilitate the signalling of human Ah receptor expressed in yeast, perhaps in the same manner as the TPR-containing XAP2 protein and related chaperone proteins in mammalian cells.

Abstract
The type IC DNA methyltransferase M.EcoR124I is a trimeric enzyme of 162 kDa consisting of two modification subunits, HsdM, and a single specificity subunit, HsdS. Studies have been largely restricted to the HsdM subunit or to the intact methyltransferase since the HsdS subunit is insoluble when over-expressed independently of HsdM. Two soluble fragments of the HsdS subunit have been cloned, expressed and purified; a 25 kDa N-terminal fragment (S3) comprising the N-terminal target recognition domain together with the central conserved domain, and a 8.6 kDa fragment (S11) comprising the central conserved domain alone. Analytical ultracentrifugation shows that the S3 subunit exists principally as a dimer of 50 kDa. Gel retardation and competition assays show that both S3 and S11 are able to bind to HsdM, each with a subunit stoichiometry of 1:1. The tetrameric complex (S3/HsdM)(2) is required for effective DNA binding. Cooperative binding is observed and at low enzyme concentration, the multisubunit complex dissociates, leading to a loss of DNA binding activity. The (S3/HsdM)(2) complex is able to bind to both the EcoR124I DNA recognition sequence GAAN(6)RTCG and a symmetrical DNA sequence GAAN(7)TTC, but has a 30-fold higher affinity binding for the latter DNA sequence. Exonuclease III footprinting of the (S3/HsdM)(2) -DNA complex indicates that 29 nucleotides are protected on each strand, corresponding to a region 8 bp on both the 3' and 5' sides of the recognition sequence bound by the (S3/HsdM)(2) complex.

Abstract
FKBP52, a multidomain peptidyl prolyl cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase), is found in complex with the chaperone Hsp90 and the co-chaperone p23. It displays both PPIase and chaperone activity in vitro. To localize these two activities to specific regions of the protein, we created and analyzed a set of fragments of FKBP52. The PPIase activity toward both peptides and proteins is confined entirely to domain 1 (amino acids 1-148). The chaperone activity, however, resides in the C-terminal part of FKBP52, mainly in the region between amino acids 264 and 400 (domain 3). Interestingly, this domain also contains the tetratricopeptide repeats, which are responsible for the binding to C-terminal amino acids of Hsp90. Competition assays with a C-terminal Hsp90 peptide suggest that the non-native protein and Hsp90 are bound by different regions within this domain.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-attenuated response genes (GARG) belong to a recently described family of genes responsive to the action of dexamethasone. Full-length cDNA of one member of this family, GARG16, has been cloned from rat microglia and regulation of its mRNA expression has been studied. Moreover, regulation of retinoid/retinoic acid activated transcription factor (RXR/RAR) mRNAs in mixed astrocyte and in purified microglia cultures has been investigated. RARbeta mRNA was undetectable in microglia by RT-PCR, whereas clearly present in the mixed cultures. RXRalpha, RARgamma, and GARG16 mRNAs were found in both culture systems. RXRalpha mRNA was strongly expressed in control microglia but rapidly declined upon treatment with LPS. Conversely, GARG16 mRNA was almost untraceable in control microglia but rapidly increased by LPS. Time-course studies revealed an oscillating behavior of expression of both mRNAs during the first 6 hr, which receded to control levels (RXRalpha high, GARG16 low) at 72 hr of LPS-treatment. Additionally, p38 MAPK and SEK phosphorylations peaked at 1 hr followed by steady declines, whereas MEK and c-Jun showed double peaks at 1+4 hr and 1+6 hr, respectively, before subsiding to control levels. This behavior was not observed in comparative studies with TNF-alpha, interleukin-10 (IL-10), or interferon-gamma inducible protein 10 (IP-10). Finally, inhibitors of p38 MAPK, p42/p44 ERK, and PKCalpha as well as the use of dexamethasone revealed major influences of the p38 MAPK-c-Jun-AP-1 signaling pathway on RXRalpha and GARG16 mRNA expressions. The counter regulatory control of GARG16 and RXRalpha mRNA expression is believed to be an example of a fine-tuned cellular mechanism to react to inflammatory stimuli.

Abstract
Heat shock protein (hsp)90 functions in a complex chaperoning pathway where its activity is modulated by ATP and by interaction with several co-chaperones. One co-chaperone, p23, binds selectively to the ATP-bound state of hsp90. However, the isolated ATP-binding domain of hsp90 does not bind p23. In an effort to identify the p23-binding domain, we have constructed a series of hsp90 deletion mutants fused with glutathione-S-transferase (GST). Full-length GST-hsp90 is able to bind p23, and also, to chaperone assembly of progesterone receptor complexes. Truncations from the C terminus of GST-hsp90 reveal a C-terminal boundary for the p23-binding domain at approximately residue 490. This fragment contains, in order, the ATP-binding domain, a highly charged region, and 203 residues beyond the charged region. p23 binding is unaffected by deletion of the charged region, indicating that two noncontiguous regions of hsp90 are involved in p23 binding. These regions are only effective when hsp90 is in a dimeric state as shown by loss of p23 binding upon removal of GST or as shown by use of FK506-binding protein12-hsp90 constructs that form dimers and bind p23 only in the presence of a bivalent drug. Thus, p23 binding requires an hsp90 dimer with close proximity between N-terminal regions of hsp90 and a conformation specified by ATP.

Abstract
The hsp90 family of molecular chaperones was expanded recently due to the cloning of TRAP1 and hsp75 by yeast two-hybrid screens. Careful analysis of the human TRAP1 and hsp75 sequences revealed that they are identical, and we have cloned a similar protein from Drosophila. Immunofluorescence data show that human TRAP1 is localized to mitochondria. This mitochondrial localization is supported by the existence of mitochondrial localization sequences in the amino termini of both the human and Drosophila proteins. Due to the striking homology of TRAP1 to hsp90, we tested the ability of TRAP1 to function as an hsp90-like chaperone. TRAP1 did not form stable complexes with the classic hsp90 co-chaperones p23 and Hop (p60). Consistent with these observations, TRAP1 had no effect on the hsp90-dependent reconstitution of hormone binding to the progesterone receptor in vitro, nor could it substitute for hsp90 to promote maturation of the receptor to its hormone-binding state. However, TRAP1 is sufficiently conserved with hsp90 such that it bound ATP, and this binding was sensitive to the hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin. In addition, TRAP1 exhibited ATPase activity that was inhibited by both geldanamycin and radicicol. Thus, TRAP1 has functions that are distinct from those of hsp90.

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