Abstract
In enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli, the general stress response is mediated by σs, the stationary phase dissociable promoter specificity subunit of RNA polymerase. σs is degraded by ClpXP during active growth in a process dependent on the RssB adaptor, which is thought to be stimulated by the phosphorylation of a conserved aspartate in its N-terminal receiver domain. Here we present the crystal structure of full-length RssB bound to a beryllofluoride phosphomimic. Compared to the structure of RssB bound to the IraD anti-adaptor, our new RssB structure with bound beryllofluoride reveals conformational differences and coil-to-helix transitions in the C-terminal region of the RssB receiver domain and in the interdomain segmented helical linker. These are accompanied by masking of the α4-β5-α5 (4-5-5) "signaling" face of the RssB receiver domain by its C-terminal domain. Critically, using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, we identify σs-binding determinants on the 4-5-5 face, implying that this surface needs to be unmasked to effect an interdomain interface switch and enable full σs engagement and hand-off to ClpXP. In activated receiver domains, the 4-5-5 face is often the locus of intermolecular interactions, but its masking by intramolecular contacts upon phosphorylation is unusual, emphasizing that RssB is a response regulator that undergoes atypical regulation.

Abstract
Hsp90 and Hsp70 are highly conserved molecular chaperones that help maintain proteostasis by participating in protein folding, unfolding, remodeling and activation of proteins. Both chaperones are also important for cellular recovery following environmental stresses. Hsp90 and Hsp70 function collaboratively for the remodeling and activation of some client proteins. Previous studies using E. coli and S. cerevisiae showed that residues in the Hsp90 middle domain directly interact with a region in the Hsp70 nucleotide binding domain, in the same region known to bind J-domain proteins. Importantly, J-domain proteins facilitate and stabilize the interaction between Hsp90 and Hsp70 both in E. coli and S. cerevisiae. To further explore the role of J-domain proteins in protein reactivation, we tested the hypothesis that J-domain proteins participate in the collaboration between Hsp90 and Hsp70 by simultaneously interacting with Hsp90 and Hsp70. Using E. coli Hsp90, Hsp70 (DnaK), and a J-domain protein (CbpA), we detected a ternary complex containing all three proteins. The interaction involved the J-domain of CbpA, the DnaK binding region of E. coli Hsp90, and the J-domain protein binding region of DnaK where Hsp90 also binds. Additionally, results show that E. coli Hsp90 interacts with E. coli J-domain proteins, DnaJ and CbpA, and that yeast Hsp90, Hsp82, interacts with a yeast J-domain protein, Ydj1. Together these results suggest that the complexes may be transient intermediates in the pathway of collaborative protein remodeling by Hsp90 and Hsp70.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the parity-violating elastic electron scattering asymmetry on ^{27}Al. The ^{27}Al elastic asymmetry is A_{PV}=2.16±0.11(stat)±0.16(syst) ppm, and was measured at ⟨Q^{2}⟩=0.02357±0.00010 GeV^{2}, ⟨θ_{lab}⟩=7.61°±0.02°, and ⟨E_{lab}⟩=1.157 GeV with the Q_{weak} apparatus at Jefferson Lab. Predictions using a simple Born approximation as well as more sophisticated distorted-wave calculations are in good agreement with this result. From this asymmetry the ^{27}Al neutron radius R_{n}=2.89±0.12 fm was determined using a many-models correlation technique. The corresponding neutron skin thickness R_{n}-R_{p}=-0.04±0.12 fm is small, as expected for a light nucleus with a neutron excess of only 1. This result thus serves as a successful benchmark for electroweak determinations of neutron radii on heavier nuclei. A tree-level approach was used to extract the ^{27}Al weak radius R_{w}=3.00±0.15 fm, and the weak skin thickness R_{wk}-R_{ch}=-0.04±0.15 fm. The weak form factor at this Q^{2} is F_{wk}=0.39±0.04.

Abstract
A beam-normal single-spin asymmetry generated in the scattering of transversely polarized electrons from unpolarized nucleons is an observable related to the imaginary part of the two-photon exchange process. We report a 2% precision measurement of the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry in elastic electron-proton scattering with a mean scattering angle of θ_{lab}=7.9° and a mean energy of 1.149 GeV. The asymmetry result is B_{n}=-5.194±0.067(stat)±0.082 (syst) ppm. This is the most precise measurement of this quantity available to date and therefore provides a stringent test of two-photon exchange models at far-forward scattering angles (θ_{lab}→0) where they should be most reliable.

Abstract
Dorich et al. present the first crystal structure of RssB bound to an antiadaptor, the DNA damage-inducible IraD. The structural data, together with mechanistic studies, suggest that RssB plasticity is critical for regulation of σS degradation. The stationary phase promoter specificity subunit σS (RpoS) is delivered to the ClpXP machinery for degradation dependent on the adaptor RssB. This adaptor-specific degradation of σS provides a major point for regulation and transcriptional reprogramming during the general stress response. RssB is an atypical response regulator and the only known ClpXP adaptor that is inhibited by multiple but dissimilar antiadaptors (IraD, IraP, and IraM). These are induced by distinct stress signals and bind to RssB in poorly understood manners to achieve stress-specific inhibition of σS turnover. Here we present the first crystal structure of RssB bound to an antiadaptor, the DNA damage-inducible IraD. The structure reveals that RssB adopts a compact closed architecture with extensive interactions between its N-terminal and C-terminal domains. The structural data, together with mechanistic studies, suggest that RssB plasticity, conferred by an interdomain glutamate-rich flexible linker, is critical for regulation of σS degradation. Structural modulation of interdomain linkers may thus constitute a general strategy for tuning response regulators.

Abstract
Bacterial Hsp90 is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone involved in protein remodeling and activation. The E. coli Hsp90, Hsp90Ec, collaborates in protein remodeling with another ATP-dependent chaperone, DnaK, the E. coli Hsp70. Both Hsp90Ec and DnaK hydrolyze ATP and client (substrate) proteins stimulate the hydrolysis. Additionally, ATP hydrolysis by the combination of Hsp90Ec and DnaK is synergistically stimulated in the presence of client (substrate). Here, we describe two steady-state ATPase assays used to monitor ATP hydrolysis by Hsp90Ec and DnaK as well as the synergistic stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by the combination of Hsp90Ec and DnaK in the presence of a client (substrate). The first assay is a spectrophotometric assay based on enzyme-coupled reactions that utilize the ADP formed during ATP hydrolysis to oxidize NADH. The second assay is a more sensitive method that directly quantifies the radioactive inorganic phosphate released following the hydrolysis of [γ-33P] ATP or [γ-32P] ATP.

Abstract
ClpB of E. coli and yeast Hsp104 are homologous molecular chaperones and members of the AAA+ (ATPases Associated with various cellular Activities) superfamily of ATPases. They are required for thermotolerance and function in disaggregation and reactivation of aggregated proteins that form during severe stress conditions. ClpB and Hsp104 collaborate with the DnaK or Hsp70 chaperone system, respectively, to dissolve protein aggregates both in vivo and in vitro. In yeast, the propagation of prions depends upon Hsp104. Since protein aggregation and amyloid formation are associated with many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, understanding how disaggregases function is important. In this study, we have explored the innate substrate preferences of ClpB and Hsp104 in the absence of the DnaK and Hsp70 chaperone system. The results suggest that substrate specificity is determined by nucleotide binding domain-1.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that remodels hundreds of client proteins, many involved in the progression of cancer and other diseases. It functions with the Hsp70 chaperone and numerous cochaperones. The bacterial Hsp90 functions with an Hsp70 chaperone, DnaK, but is independent of Hsp90 cochaperones. We explored the collaboration between Escherichia coli Hsp90 and DnaK and found that the two chaperones form a complex that is stabilized by client protein binding. A J-domain protein, CbpA, facilitates assembly of the Hsp90Ec-DnaK-client complex. We identified E. coli Hsp90 mutants defective in DnaK interaction in vivo and show that the purified mutant proteins are defective in physical and functional interaction with DnaK. Understanding how Hsp90 and Hsp70 collaborate in protein remodeling will provide the groundwork for the development of new therapeutic strategies targeting multiple chaperones and cochaperones.

Abstract
ClpXP is a two-component ATP-dependent protease that unfolds and degrades proteins bearing specific recognition signals. One substrate degraded by Escherichia coli ClpXP is FtsZ, an essential cell division protein. FtsZ forms polymers that assemble into a large ring-like structure, termed the Z-ring, during cell division at the site of constriction. The FtsZ monomer is composed of an N-terminal polymerization domain, an unstructured linker region and a C-terminal conserved region. To better understand substrate selection by ClpXP, we engineered FtsZ mutant proteins containing amino acid substitutions or deletions near the FtsZ C-terminus. We identified two discrete regions of FtsZ important for degradation of both FtsZ monomers and polymers by ClpXP in vitro. One region is located 30 residues away from the C-terminus in the unstructured linker region that connects the polymerization domain to the C-terminal region. The other region is near the FtsZ C-terminus and partially overlaps the recognition sites for several other FtsZ-interacting proteins, including MinC, ZipA and FtsA. Mutation of either region caused the protein to be more stable and mutation of both caused an additive effect, suggesting that both regions are important. We also observed that in vitro MinC inhibits degradation of FtsZ by ClpXP, suggesting that some of the same residues in the C-terminal site that are important for degradation by ClpXP are important for binding MinC.

Abstract
A set of small protein anti-adaptors stabilizes the E. coli stress transcription factor RpoS by inhibiting the adaptor protein. In this study, Gottesman and colleagues isolate RssB mutants resistant to anti-adaptor action. Each of the anti-adaptors is unique in its interaction with RssB and sensitivity to RssB mutants. Interestingly, mutations in the C-terminal PP2C domain activate RssB and are similar to constitutively activated mutants found in a very different bacterial PP2C protein. The results provide insight into how anti-adaptors perturb response regulator function and activation. RpoS, an RNA polymerase σ factor, controls the response of Escherichia coli and related bacteria to multiple stress responses. During nonstress conditions, RpoS is rapidly degraded by ClpXP, mediated by the adaptor protein RssB, a member of the response regulator family. In response to stress, RpoS degradation ceases. Small anti-adaptor proteins—IraP, IraM, and IraD, each made under a different stress condition—block RpoS degradation. RssB mutants resistant to either IraP or IraM were isolated and analyzed in vivo and in vitro. Each of the anti-adaptors is unique in its interaction with RssB and sensitivity to RssB mutants. One class of mutants defined an RssB N-terminal region close to the phosphorylation site and critical for interaction with IraP but unnecessary for IraM and IraD function. A second class, in the RssB C-terminal PP2C-like domain, led to activation of RssB function. These mutants allowed the response regulator to act in the absence of phosphorylation but did not abolish interaction with anti-adaptors. This class of mutants is broadly resistant to the anti-adaptors and bears similarity to constitutively activated mutants found in a very different PP2C protein. The mutants provide insight into how the anti-adaptors perturb RssB response regulator function and activation.

Abstract
The Q(weak) experiment has measured the parity-violating asymmetry in ep elastic scattering at Q(2)=0.025(GeV/c)(2), employing 145 μA of 89% longitudinally polarized electrons on a 34.4 cm long liquid hydrogen target at Jefferson Lab. The results of the experiment's commissioning run, constituting approximately 4% of the data collected in the experiment, are reported here. From these initial results, the measured asymmetry is A(ep)=-279±35 (stat) ± 31 (syst) ppb, which is the smallest and most precise asymmetry ever measured in ep scattering. The small Q(2) of this experiment has made possible the first determination of the weak charge of the proton Q(W)(p) by incorporating earlier parity-violating electron scattering (PVES) data at higher Q(2) to constrain hadronic corrections. The value of Q(W)(p) obtained in this way is Q(W)(p)(PVES)=0.064±0.012, which is in good agreement with the standard model prediction of Q(W)(p)(SM)=0.0710±0.0007. When this result is further combined with the Cs atomic parity violation (APV) measurement, significant constraints on the weak charges of the up and down quarks can also be extracted. That PVES+APV analysis reveals the neutron's weak charge to be Q(W)(n)(PVES+APV)=-0.975±0.010.

Abstract
The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) family of heat shock proteins is an abundantly expressed and highly conserved family of ATP-dependent molecular chaperones. Hsp90 facilitates remodeling and activation of hundreds of proteins. In this study, we developed a screen to identify Hsp90-defective mutants in E. coli. The mutations obtained define a region incorporating residues from the middle and C-terminal domains of E. coli Hsp90. The mutant proteins are defective in chaperone activity and client binding in vitro. We constructed homologous mutations in S. cerevisiae Hsp82 and identified several that caused defects in chaperone activity in vivo and in vitro. However, the Hsp82 mutant proteins were less severely defective in client binding to a model substrate than the corresponding E. coli mutant proteins. Our results identify a region in Hsp90 important for client binding in E. coli Hsp90 and suggest an evolutionary divergence in the mechanism of client interaction by bacterial and yeast Hsp90.

Abstract
Protein disaggregation in Escherichia coli is carried out by ClpB, an AAA(+) (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) molecular chaperone, together with the DnaK chaperone system. Conformational changes in ClpB driven by ATP binding and hydrolysis promote substrate binding, unfolding, and translocation. Conserved pore tyrosines in both nucleotide-binding domain-1 (NBD-1) and -2 (NBD-2), which reside in flexible loops extending into the central pore of the ClpB hexamer, bind substrates. When the NBD-1 pore loop tyrosine is substituted with alanine (Y251A), ClpB can collaborate with the DnaK system in disaggregation, although activity is reduced. The N-domain has also been implicated in substrate binding, and like the NBD-1 pore loop tyrosine, it is not essential for disaggregation activity. To further probe the function and interplay of the ClpB N-domain and the NBD-1 pore loop, we made a double mutant with an N-domain deletion and a Y251A substitution. This ClpB double mutant is inactive in substrate disaggregation with the DnaK system, although each single mutant alone can function with DnaK. Our data suggest that this loss in activity is primarily due to a decrease in substrate engagement by ClpB prior to substrate unfolding and translocation and indicate an overlapping function for the N-domain and NBD-1 pore tyrosine. Furthermore, the functional overlap seen in the presence of the DnaK system is not observed in the absence of DnaK. For innate ClpB unfolding activity, the NBD-1 pore tyrosine is required, and the presence of the N-domain is insufficient to overcome the defect of the ClpB Y251A mutant.

Abstract
ClpB and Hsp104, members of the AAA+ superfamily of proteins, protect cells from the devastating effects of protein inactivation and aggregation that arise after extreme heat stress. They exist as a hexameric ring and contain two nucleotide-binding sites per monomer. ClpB and Hsp104 are able to dissolve protein aggregates in conjunction with the DnaK/Hsp70 chaperone system, although the roles of the individual chaperones in disaggregation are not well understood. In the absence of the DnaK/Hsp70 system, ClpB and Hsp104 alone are able to perform protein remodeling when their ATPase activity is asymmetrically slowed either by providing a mixture of ATP and ATP gamma S, a nonphysiological and slowly hydrolyzed ATP analog, or by inactivating one of the two nucleotide-binding domains by mutation. To gain insight into the roles of ClpB and the DnaK system in protein remodeling, we tested whether there was a further stimulation by the DnaK chaperone system under conditions that elicited remodeling activity by ClpB alone. Our results demonstrate that ClpB and the DnaK system act synergistically to remodel proteins and dissolve aggregates. The results further show that ATP is required and that both nucleotide-binding sites of ClpB must be able to hydrolyze ATP to permit functional collaboration between ClpB and the DnaK system.

Abstract
Two members of the AAA+ superfamily, ClpB and Hsp104, collaborate with Hsp70 and Hsp40 to rescue aggregated proteins. However, the mechanisms that elicit and underlie their protein-remodeling activities remain unclear. We report that for both Hsp104 and ClpB, mixtures of ATP and ATP-gammaS unexpectedly unleash activation, disaggregation and unfolding activities independent of cochaperones. Mutations reveal how remodeling activities are elicited by impaired hydrolysis at individual nucleotide-binding domains. However, for some substrates, mixtures of ATP and ATP-gammaS abolish remodeling, whereas for others, ATP binding without hydrolysis is sufficient. Remodeling of different substrates necessitates a diverse balance of polypeptide 'holding' (which requires ATP binding but not hydrolysis) and unfolding (which requires ATP hydrolysis). We suggest that this versatility in reaction mechanism enables ClpB and Hsp104 to reactivate the entire aggregated proteome after stress and enables Hsp104 to control prion inheritance.

Abstract
DnaK/Hsp70 proteins are universally conserved ATP-dependent molecular chaperones that help proteins adopt and maintain their native conformations. DnaJ/Hsp40 and GrpE are co-chaperones that assist DnaK. CbpA is an Escherichia coli DnaJ homolog. It acts as a multicopy suppressor for dnaJ mutations and functions in vitro in combination with DnaK and GrpE in protein remodeling reactions. CbpA binds nonspecifically to DNA with preference for curved DNA and is a nucleoid-associated protein. The DNA binding and co-chaperone activities of CbpA are modulated by CbpM, a small protein that binds specifically to CbpA. To identify the regions of CbpA involved in the interaction of CbpA with CbpM and those involved in DNA binding, we constructed and characterized deletion and substitution mutants of CbpA. We discovered that CbpA interacted with CbpM through its N-terminal J-domain. We found that the region C-terminal to the J-domain was required for DNA binding. Moreover, we found that the CbpM interaction, DNA binding, and co-chaperone activities were separable; some mutants were proficient in some functions and defective in others.

Abstract
Clp/Hsp100 proteins comprise a large family of AAA(+) ATPases. Some Clp proteins function alone as molecular chaperones, whereas others act in conjunction with peptidases, forming ATP-dependent proteasome-like compartmentalized proteases. Protein degradation by Clp proteases is regulated primarily by substrate recognition by the Clp ATPase component. The ClpA and ClpX ATPases of Escherichia coli generally recognize short amino acid sequences that are located near the N or C terminus of a substrate. However, both ClpAP and ClpXP are able to degrade proteins in which the end containing the recognition signal is fused to GFP such that the signal is in the interior of the primary sequence of the substrate. Here, we tested whether the internal ClpA recognition signal was the sole element required for targeting the substrate to ClpA. The results show that, in the absence of a high-affinity peptide recognition signal at the terminus, two elements are important for recognition of GFP-RepA fusion proteins by ClpA. One element is the natural ClpA recognition signal located at the junction of GFP and RepA in the fusion protein. The second element is the C-terminal peptide of the fusion protein. Together, these two elements facilitate binding and unfolding by ClpA and degradation by ClpAP. The internal site appears to function similarly to Clp adaptor proteins but, in this case, is covalently attached to the polypeptide containing the terminal tag and both the "adaptor" and "substrate" modules are degraded.

Abstract
ClpA and ClpX function both as molecular chaperones and as the regulatory components of ClpAP and ClpXP proteases, respectively. ClpA and ClpX bind substrate proteins through specific recognition signals, catalyze ATP-dependent protein unfolding of the substrate, and when in complexes with ClpP translocate the unfolded polypeptide into the cavity of the ClpP peptidase for degradation. To examine the mechanism of interaction of ClpAP with dimeric substrates, single round binding and degradation experiments were performed, revealing that ClpAP degraded both subunits of a RepA homodimer in one cycle of binding. Furthermore, ClpAP was able to degrade both protomers of a RepA heterodimer in which only one subunit contained the ClpA recognition signal. In contrast, ClpXP degraded both subunits of a dimeric substrate only when both protomers contained a recognition signal. These data suggest that ClpAP and ClpXP may recognize and bind substrates in significantly different ways.

Abstract
The DnaK chaperone system, consisting of DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE, remodels and refolds proteins during both normal growth and stress conditions. CbpA, one of several DnaJ analogs in Escherichia coli, is known to function as a multicopy suppressor for dnaJ mutations and to bind nonspecifically to DNA and preferentially to curved DNA. We found that CbpA functions as a DnaJ-like co-chaperone in vitro. CbpA acted in an ATP-dependent reaction with DnaK and GrpE to remodel inactive dimers of plasmid P1 RepA into monomers active in P1 DNA binding. Additionally, CbpA participated with DnaK in an ATP-dependent reaction to prevent aggregation of denatured rhodanese. The cbpA gene is in an operon with an open reading frame, yccD, which encodes a protein that has some homology to DafA of Thermus thermophilus. DafA is a protein required for the assembly of ring-like particles that contain trimers each of T. thermophilus DnaK, DnaJ, and DafA. The E. coli YccD was isolated because of its potential functional relationship to CbpA. Purified YccD specifically inhibited both the co-chaperone activity and the DNA binding activity of CbpA, suggesting that YccD modulates the activity of CbpA. We named the product of the yccD gene CbpM for "CbpA modulator."

Abstract
DNA replication of plasmid P1 requires a plasmid-encoded origin DNA-binding protein, RepA. RepA is an inactive dimer and is converted by molecular chaperones into an active monomer that binds RepA binding sites. Although the sequence of RepA is not homologous to that of F plasmid RepE, we found by using fold-recognition programs that RepA shares structural homology with RepE and built a model based on the RepE crystal structure. We constructed mutants in the two predicted DNA binding domains to test the model. As expected, the mutants were defective in P1 DNA binding. The model predicted that RepA binds the first half of the binding site through interactions with the C-terminal DNA binding domain and the second half through interactions with the N-terminal domain. The experiments supported the prediction. The model was further supported by the observation that mutants defective in dimerization map to the predicted subunit interface region, based on the crystal structure of pPS10 RepA, a RepE family member. These results suggest P1 RepA is structurally homologous to plasmid initiators, including those of F, R6K, pSC101, pCU1, pPS10, pFA3, pGSH500, Rts1, RepHI1B, RepFIB, and RSF1010.

Abstract
DnaK, the Hsp70 chaperone of Escherichia coli interacts with protein substrates in an ATP-dependent manner, in conjunction with DnaJ and GrpE co-chaperones, to carry out protein folding, protein remodeling, and assembly and disassembly of multisubunit protein complexes. To understand how DnaJ targets specific proteins for recognition by the DnaK chaperone system, we investigated the interaction of DnaJ and DnaK with a known natural substrate, bacteriophage P1 RepA protein. By characterizing RepA deletion derivatives, we found that DnaJ interacts with a region of RepA located between amino acids 180 and 200 of the 286-amino acid protein. A peptide corresponding to amino acids 180-195 inhibited the interaction of RepA and DnaJ. Two site-directed RepA mutants with alanine substitutions in this region were about 4-fold less efficiently activated for oriP1 DNA binding by DnaJ and DnaK than wild type RepA. We also identified by deletion analysis a site in RepA, in the region of amino acids 35-49, which interacts with DnaK. An alanine substitution mutant in amino acids 36-39 was constructed and found defective in activation by DnaJ and DnaK. Taken together the results suggest that DnaJ and DnaK interact with separate sites on RepA.

Abstract
Although much has been learned about the structure and function of Clp chaperones and their role in proteolysis, the mechanism of protein unfolding catalyzed by Clp ATPases and the mechanism of translocation of the unfolded proteins from Clp ATPases to partner proteases remain unsolved puzzles. However, models in which mechanical force is used to destabilize the structure of the substrate in a processive and directional manner are probable. It also seems likely that when ClpA ATPases are associated with proteases, unfolding is coupled to extrusion of the unfolded protein into the proteolytic cavity. In summary, it is anticipated that the large family of Clp ATPases will accomplish their many important cellular functions by similar mechanisms and what has been learned by studying the prokaryotic members reviewed here will shed a great deal of light on all members of the family.

Abstract
Clp/Hsp100 ATPases comprise a large family of ATP-dependent chaperones, some of which are regulatory components of two-component proteases. Substrate specificity resides in the Clp protein and the current thinking is that Clp proteins recognize motifs located near one or the other end of the substrate. We tested whether or not ClpA and ClpX can recognize tags when they are located in the interior of the primary sequence of the substrate. A protein with an NH2-terminal ClpA recognition tag, plasmid P1 RepA, was fused to the COOH terminus of green fluorescent protein (GFP). GFP is not recognized by ClpA or ClpX and is not degraded by ClpAP or ClpXP. We found that ClpA binds and unfolds the fusion protein and ClpAP degrades the protein. Both the GFP and RepA portions of the fusion protein are degraded. A protein with a COOH-terminal ClpX tag, MuA, was fused to the NH2 terminus of GFP. ClpXP degrades MuA-GFP, however, the rate is 10-fold slower than that of GFP-MuA. The MuA portion but not the GFP portion of MuA-GFP is degraded. Thus, a substrate with an internal ClpA recognition motif can be unfolded by ClpA and degraded by ClpAP. Similarly, although less efficiently, ClpXP degrades a substrate with an internal ClpX recognition motif. We also found that ClpA recognizes the NH2-terminal 15 aa RepA tag, when it is fused to the COOH terminus of GFP. Moreover, ClpA recognizes the RepA tag in either the authentic or inverse orientation.

Abstract
The sigma(S) subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase regulates the expression of stationary phase and stress response genes. Control over sigma(S) activity is exercised in part by regulated degradation of sigma(S). In vivo, degradation requires the ClpXP protease together with RssB, a protein homologous to response regulator proteins. Using purified components, we reconstructed the degradation of sigma(S) in vitro and demonstrate a direct role for RssB in delivering sigma(S) to ClpXP. RssB greatly stimulates sigma(S) degradation by ClpXP. Acetyl phosphate, which phosphorylates RssB, is required. RssB participates in multiple rounds of sigma(S) degradation, demonstrating its catalytic role. RssB promotes sigma(S) degradation specifically; it does not affect degradation of other ClpXP substrates or other proteins not normally degraded by ClpXP. sigma(S) and RssB form a stable complex in the presence of acetyl phosphate, and together they form a ternary complex with ClpX that is stabilized by ATP[gamma-S]. Alone, neither sigma(S) nor RssB binds ClpX with high affinity. When ClpP is present, a larger sigma(S)--RssB--ClpXP complex forms. The complex degrades sigma(S) and releases RssB from ClpXP in an ATP-dependent reaction. Our results illuminate an important mechanism for regulated protein turnover in which a unique targeting protein, whose own activity is regulated through specific signaling pathways, catalyzes the delivery of a specific substrate to a specific protease.

Abstract
ClpA, a member of the Clp/Hsp100 ATPase family, is a molecular chaperone and regulatory component of ClpAP protease. We explored the mechanism of protein recognition by ClpA using a high affinity substrate, RepA, which is activated for DNA binding by ClpA and degraded by ClpAP. By characterizing RepA derivatives with N- or C-terminal deletions, we found that the N-terminal portion of RepA is required for recognition. More precisely, RepA derivatives lacking the N-terminal 5 or 10 amino acids are degraded by ClpAP at a rate similar to full-length RepA, whereas RepA derivatives lacking 15 or 20 amino acids are degraded much more slowly. Thus, ClpA recognizes an N-terminal signal in RepA beginning in the vicinity of amino acids 10-15. Moreover, peptides corresponding to RepA amino acids 4-13 and 1-15 inhibit interactions between ClpA and RepA. We constructed fusions of RepA and green fluorescent protein, a protein not recognized by ClpA, and found that the N-terminal 15 amino acids of RepA are sufficient to target the fusion protein for degradation by ClpAP. However, fusion proteins containing 46 or 70 N-terminal amino acids of RepA are degraded more efficiently in vitro and are noticeably stabilized in vivo in clpADelta and clpPDelta strains compared with wild type.

Abstract
ClpX and ClpA are molecular chaperones that interact with specific proteins and, together with ClpP, activate their ATP-dependent degradation. The chaperone activity is thought to convert proteins into an extended conformation that can access the sequestered active sites of ClpP. We now show that ClpX can catalyze unfolding of a green fluorescent protein fused to a ClpX recognition motif (GFP-SsrA). Unfolding of GFP-SsrA depends on ATP hydrolysis. GFP-SsrA unfolded either by ClpX or by treatment with denaturants binds to ClpX in the presence of adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) and is released slowly (t(1/2) approximately 15 min). Unlike ClpA, ClpX cannot trap unfolded proteins in stable complexes unless they also have a high-affinity binding motif. Addition of ATP or ADP accelerates release (t(1/2) approximately 1 min), consistent with a model in which ATP hydrolysis induces a conformation of ClpX with low affinity for unfolded substrates. Proteolytically inactive complexes of ClpXP and ClpAP unfold GFP-SsrA and translocate the protein to ClpP, where it remains unfolded. Complexes of ClpXP with translocated substrate within the ClpP chamber retain the ability to unfold GFP-SsrA. Our results suggest a bipartite mode of interaction between ClpX and substrates. ClpX preferentially targets motifs exposed in specific proteins. As the protein is unfolded by ClpX, additional motifs are exposed that facilitate its retention and favor its translocation to ClpP for degradation.

Abstract
ClpA, a bacterial member of the Clp/Hsp100 chaperone family, is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone and the regulatory component of the ATP-dependent ClpAP protease. To study the mechanism of binding and unfolding of proteins by ClpA and translocation to ClpP, we used as a model substrate a fusion protein that joined the ClpA recognition signal from RepA to green fluorescent protein (GFP). ClpAP degrades the fusion protein in vivo and in vitro. The substrate binds specifically to ClpA in a reaction requiring ATP binding but not hydrolysis. Binding alone is not sufficient to destabilize the native structure of the GFP portion of the fusion protein. Upon ATP hydrolysis the GFP fusion protein is unfolded, and the unfolded intermediate can be sequestered by ClpA if a nonhydrolyzable analog is added to displace ATP. ATP is required for release. We found that although ClpA is unable to recognize native proteins lacking recognition signals, including GFP and rhodanese, it interacts with those same proteins when they are unfolded. Unfolded GFP is held in a nonnative conformation while associated with ClpA and its release requires ATP hydrolysis. Degradation of unfolded untagged proteins by ClpAP requires ATP even though the initial ATP-dependent unfolding reaction is bypassed. These results suggest that there are two ATP-requiring steps: an initial protein unfolding step followed by translocation of the unfolded protein to ClpP or in some cases release from the complex.

Abstract
ClpA, a member of the Clp/Hsp100 family of ATPases, is both an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone and the regulatory component of ClpAP protease. We demonstrate that chaperone and protease activities occur concurrently in ClpAP complexes during a single round of RepA binding to ClpAP and ATP-dependent release. This result was substantiated with a ClpA mutant, ClpA(K220V), carrying an amino acid substitution in the N-terminal ATP binding site. ClpA(K220V) is unable to activate RepA, but the presence of ClpP or chemically inactivated ClpP restores its ability to activate RepA. The presence of ClpP simultaneously facilitates degradation of RepA. ClpP must remain bound to ClpA(K220V) for these effects, indicating that both chaperone and proteolytic activities of the mutant complex occur concurrently. ClpA(K220V) itself is able to form stable complexes with RepA in the presence of a poorly hydrolyzed ATP analog, adenosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate), and to release RepA upon exchange of adenosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) with ATP. However, the released RepA is inactive in DNA binding, indicating that the N-terminal ATP binding site is essential for the chaperone activity of ClpA. Taken together, these results suggest that substrates bound to the complex of the proteolytic and ATPase components can be partitioned between release/reactivation and translocation/degradation.

Abstract
ClpA, a member of the Clp/Hsp100 family of ATPases, is a molecular chaperone and, in combination with a proteolytic component ClpP, participates in ATP-dependent proteolysis. We investigated the role of ClpA in protein degradation by ClpAP by dissociating the reaction into several discrete steps. In the assembly step, ClpA-ClpP-substrate complexes assemble either by ClpA-substrate complexes interacting with ClpP or by ClpA-ClpP complexes interacting with substrate; ClpP in the absence of ClpA is unable to bind substrates. Assembly requires ATP binding but not hydrolysis. We discovered that ClpA translocates substrates from their binding sites on ClpA to ClpP. The translocation step specifically requires ATP; nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs are ineffective. Only proteins that are degraded by ClpAP are translocated. Characterization of the degradation step showed that substrates can be degraded in a single round of ClpA-ClpP-substrate binding followed by ATP hydrolysis. The products generated are indistinguishable from steady-state products. Taken together, our results suggest that ClpA, through its interaction with both the substrate and ClpP, acts as a gatekeeper, actively translocating specific substrates into the proteolytic chamber of ClpP where degradation occurs. As multicomponent ATP-dependent proteases are widespread in nature and share structural similarities, these findings may provide a general mechanism for regulation of substrate import into the proteolytic chamber.
