The posttranslational translocation of proteins across the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane in yeast requires ATP hydrolysis and the action of hsc70s (DnaK homologues) and DnaJ homologues in both the cytosol and ER lumen. Although the cytosolic hsc70 (Ssa1p) and the ER lumenal hsc70 (BiP) are homologous, they cannot substitute for one another, possibly because they interact with specific DnaJ homologues on each side of the ER membrane. To investigate this possibility, we purified Ssa1p, BiP, Ydj1p (a cytosolic DnaJ homologue), and a GST–63Jp fusion protein containing the lumenal DnaJ region of Sec63p. We observed that BiP, but not Ssa1p, is able to associate with GST–63Jp and that Ydj1p stimulates the ATPase activity of Ssa1p up to 10-fold but increases the ATPase activity of BiP by <2-fold. In addition, Ydj1p and ATP trigger the release of an unfolded polypeptide from Ssa1p but not from BiP. To understand further how BiP drives protein translocation, we purified four dominant lethal mutants of BiP. We discovered that each mutant is defective for ATP hydrolysis, fails to undergo an ATP-dependent conformational change, and cannot interact with GST–63Jp. Measurements of protein translocation into reconstituted proteoliposomes indicate that the mutants inhibit translocation even in the presence of wild-type BiP. We conclude that a conformation- and ATP-dependent interaction of BiP with the J domain of Sec63p is essential for protein translocation and that the specificity of hsc70 action is dictated by their DnaJ partners.

AbstractIn eukaryotes, an Hsp70 molecular chaperone triad assists folding of nascent chains emerging from the ribosome tunnel. In fungi, the triad consists of canonical Hsp70 Ssb, atypical Hsp70 Ssz1 and J-domain protein cochaperone Zuo1. Zuo1 binds the ribosome at the tunnel exit. Zuo1 also binds Ssz1, tethering it to the ribosome, while its J-domain stimulates Ssb’s ATPase activity to drive efficient nascent chain interaction. But the function of Ssz1 and how Ssb engages at the ribosome are not well understood. Employing in vivo site-specific crosslinking, we found that Ssb(ATP) heterodimerizes with Ssz1. Ssb, in a manner consistent with the ADP conformation, also crosslinks to ribosomal proteins across the tunnel exit from Zuo1. These two modes of Hsp70 Ssb interaction at the ribosome suggest a functionally efficient interaction pathway: first, Ssb(ATP) with Ssz1, allowing optimal J-domain and nascent chain engagement; then, after ATP hydrolysis, Ssb(ADP) directly with the ribosome.

Near-neighbor interactions between translocating nascent chains and Sec61p were investigated by chemical cross-linking. At stages of translocation before signal sequence cleavage, nascent chains could be cross-linked to Sec61p at high (60-80%) efficiencies. Cross-linking occurred through the signal sequence and the mature portion of wild-type and signal cleavage mutant nascent chains. At later stages of translocation, as represented through truncated translocation intermediates, cross-linking to Sec61p was markedly reduced. Dissociation of the ribosome into its large and small subunits after assembly of the precursor into the translocon, but before cross-linking, resulted in a dramatic reduction in subsequent cross-linking yield, indicating that at early stages of translocation, nascent chain-Sec61p interactions are in part mediated through interactions of the ribosome with components of the ER membrane, such as Sec61p. Dissociation of the ribosome was, however, without effect on subsequent translocation. These results are discussed with respect to a model in which Sec61p performs a function essential for the initiation of protein translocation.

A general kinetic model is presented for the chemomechanical coupling of dimeric kinesin molecular motors with and without extension of their neck linkers (NLs). A peculiar feature of the model is that the rate constants of ATPase activity of a kinesin head are independent of the strain on its NL, implying that the heads of the wild-type kinesin dimer and the mutant with extension of its NLs have the same force-independent rate constants of the ATPase activity. Based on the model, an analytical theory is presented on the force dependence of the dynamics of kinesin dimers with and without extension of their NLs at saturating ATP. With only a few adjustable parameters, diverse available single molecule data on the dynamics of various kinesin dimers, such as wild-type kinesin-1, kinesin-1 with mutated residues in the NLs, kinesin-1 with extension of the NLs and wild-type kinesin-2, under varying force and ATP concentration, can be reproduced very well. Additionally, we compare the power production among different kinesin dimers, showing that the mutation in the NLs reduces the power production and the extension of the NLs further reduces the power production.

To assess the participation of the 150-kDa oxygen-regulated protein (ORP150) in protein transport, its function in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells was studied. Exposure of MDCK cells to hypoxia resulted in an increase of ORP150 antigen and increased binding of ORP150 to GP80/clusterin (80-kDa glycoprotein), a natural secretory protein in this cell line. In ORP150 antisense transformant MDCK cells, GP80 was retained within the endoplasmic reticulum after exposure to hypoxia. Metabolic labeling showed the delay of GP80 maturation in antisense transformants in hypoxia, whereas its matured form was detected in wild-type cells, indicating a role of ORP150 in protein transport, especially in hypoxia. The affinity chromatographic analysis of ORP150 suggested its ability to bind to ATP-agarose. Furthermore, the ATP hydrolysis analysis showed that ORP150 can release GP80 at a lower ATP concentration. These data indicate that ORP150 may function as a unique molecular chaperone in renal epithelial cells by facilitating protein transport/maturation in an environment where less ATP is accessible.

ABSTRACT We report on the identification of Fes1p (yBR101cp) as a cytosolic homologue of Sls1p, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein previously shown to act as a nucleotide exchange factor for yeast BiP (M. Kabani, J.-M. Beckerich, and C. Gaillardin, Mol. Cell. Biol. 20:6923-6934, 2000). We found that Fes1p associates preferentially to the ADP-bound form of the cytosolic Hsp70 molecular chaperone Ssa1p and promotes nucleotide release. Fes1p activity was shown to be compartment and species specific since Sls1p and Escherichia coli GrpE could not substitute for Fes1p. Surprisingly, whereas Sls1p stimulated the ATPase activity of BiP in cooperation with luminal J proteins, Fes1p was shown to inhibit the Ydj1p-mediated activation of Ssa1p ATPase activity in steady-state and single-turnover assays. Disruption of FES1 in several wild-type backgrounds conferred a strong thermosensitive phenotype but partially rescued ydj1-151 thermosensitivity. The Δfes1 strain was proficient for posttranslational protein translocation, as well as for the ER-associated degradation of two substrates. However, the Δfes1 mutant showed increased cycloheximide sensitivity and a general translational defect, suggesting that Fes1p acts during protein translation, a process in which Ssa1p and Ydj1p are known to be involved. In support of this hypothesis, Fes1p was found to be associated with ribosomes.

Abstract The translocation of proteins across the yeast ER membrane requires ATP hydrolysis and the action of DnaK (hsp70) and DnaJ homologues. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the cytosolic hsp70s that promote post-translational translocation are the products of the Ssa gene family. Ssa1p maintains secretory precursors in a translocation-competent state and interacts with Ydj1p, a DnaJ homologue. Although it has been proposed that Ydj1p stimulates the ATPase activity of Ssa1p to release preproteins and engineer translocation, support for this model is incomplete. To this end, mutations in the ATP-binding pocket of SSA1 were constructed and examined both in vivo and in vitro. Expression of the mutant Ssa1p's slows wild-type cell growth, is insufficient to support life in the absence of functional Ssa1p, and results in a dominant effect on post-translational translocation. The ATPase activity of the purified mutant proteins was not enhanced by Ydj1p and the mutant proteins could not bind an unfolded polypeptide substrate. Our data suggest that a productive interaction between Ssa1p and Ydj1p is required to promote protein translocation.

The organotin complex dibutyltin-3-hydroxyflavone bromide [Bu2Sn(of)Br] has been shown to bind to the 16 kDa proteolipid of Nephrops norvegicus, either in the form of the native protein or after heterologous expression in Saccharomyces and assembly into a hybrid vacuolar H+-ATPase. Titration of Bu2Sn(of)Br against the 16 kDa proteolipid results in a marked fluorescence enhancement, consistent with binding to a single affinity site on the protein. Vacuolar ATPase-dependent ATP hydrolysis was also inhibited by Bu2Sn(of)Br, with the inhibition constant correlating well with dissociation constants determined for binding of Bu2Sn(of)Br complex to the proteolipid. The fluorescence enhancement produced by interaction of probe with proteolipid can be back-titrated by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), which covalently modifies Glu140 on helix-4 of the polypeptide. Expression of a mutant proteolipid in which Glu140 was changed to a glycine resulted in assembly of a vacuolar ATPase which was inactive in proton pumping and which had reduced ATPase activity. Co-expression studies with this mutant and wild-type proteolipids suggest that proton pumping can only occur in a vacuolar ATPase containing exclusively wild-type proteolipid. The fluorescent enhancement or affinity of Bu2Sn(of)Br for the mutant proteolipid was not significantly altered, with the organotin complex having no effect on residual ATPase activity. Interaction of the probe with mutant proteolipid was unaffected by DCCD. These data suggest an overlap in the binding sites for organotin and DCCD, and have implications for the organization and structure of proton-translocating pathways in the vacuolar H+-ATPase.

ABSTRACT We have characterized the effects of the T199S, T199A, and K70A mutations on the biochemical activity and in vivo functioning ofEscherichia coli DnaK. Threonine-199 is the site of autophosphorylation of DnaK, and the lysine residue of bovine Hsc70 corresponding to K70 of DnaK has been shown to be essential for the hydrolysis of ATP. The dnaK alleles T199A and K70A are completely unable, and the T199S allele is only partially able, to complement the defects of a ΔdnaK mutant. The ATPase activities of the DnaK T199A and DnaK K70A proteins are nearly abolished, while the ATPase activity of the DnaK T199S protein has a steady-state rate similar to that of wild-type DnaK. The DnaK T199S protein also retains approximately 13% of the autophosphorylation activity of wild-type DnaK, while the autophosphorylation activities of the T199A and K70A derivatives are completely abolished. All four DnaK proteins bind a model peptide substrate, and the wild-type, T199A, and T199S DnaK proteins release the peptide with similar kinetics upon the addition of ATP. The DnaK K70A protein, in contrast, does not release the peptide upon the addition of ATP. ATP induces a conformational change in the wild-type, T199A, and T199S DnaK proteins but not in the DnaK K70A protein. The T199A and K70A mutations both disrupt the ATPase activity of DnaK but have profoundly different effects on the ATP-induced conformational change and peptide release activities of DnaK, implying that the two mutations affect different steps in the functional cycle of DnaK. The DnaK T199S protein represents a new class of DnaK mutant, one which has near-normal levels of ATPase activity and undergoes an ATP-induced conformational change that results in the release of peptide but which is not able to fully complement loss of DnaK function in the cell.

The movement of a molecular motor protein along a cytoskeletal track requires communication between enzymatic, polymer-binding, and mechanical elements. Such communication is particularly complex and not well understood in the dynein motor, an ATPase that is comprised of a ring of six AAA domains, a large mechanical element (linker) spanning over the ring, and a microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) that is separated from the AAA ring by a ~135 Å coiled-coil stalk. We identified mutations in the stalk that disrupt directional motion, have microtubule-independent hyperactive ATPase activity, and nucleotide-independent low affinity for microtubules. Cryo-electron microscopy structures of a mutant that uncouples ATPase activity from directional movement reveal that nucleotide-dependent conformational changes occur normally in one half of the AAA ring, but are disrupted in the other half. The large-scale linker conformational change observed in the wild-type protein is also inhibited, revealing that this conformational change is not required for ATP hydrolysis. These results demonstrate an essential role of the stalk in regulating motor activity and coupling conformational changes across the two halves of the AAA ring.
