    Abstract Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are a ubiquitous class of molecular chaperones that interacts with substrates to prevent their irreversible insolubilization during denaturation. How sHSPs interact with substrates remains poorly defined. To investigate the role of the conserved C-terminal alpha-crystallin domain versus the variable N-terminal arm in substrate interactions, we compared two closely related dodecameric plant sHSPs, Hsp18.1 and Hsp16.9, and four chimeras of these two sHSPs, in which all or part of the N-terminal arm was switched. The efficiency of substrate protection and formation of sHSP-substrate complexes by these sHSPs with three different model substrates, firefly luciferase, citrate synthase, and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) provide new insights into sHSP/substrate interactions. Results indicate that different substrates have varying affinities for different domains of the sHSP. For luciferase and citrate synthase, the efficiency of substrate protection was determined by the identity of the N-terminal arm in the chimeric proteins. In contrast, for MDH, efficient protection clearly required interactions with the alpha-crystallin domain in addition to the N-terminal arm. Furthermore, we show that sHSP-substrate complexes with varying stability and composition can protect substrate equally, and substrate protection is not correlated with sHSP oligomeric stability for all substrates. Protection of MDH by the dimeric chimera composed of the Hsp16.9 N-terminal arm and Hsp18.1 alpha-crystallin domain supports the model that a dimeric form of the sHSP can bind and protect substrate. In total, results demonstrate that sHSP-substrate interactions are complex, likely involve multiple sites on the sHSP, and vary depending on substrate.

    Abstract Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are dynamic oligomeric proteins that bind unfolding proteins and protect them from irreversible aggregation. This binding results in the formation of sHSP-substrate complexes from which substrate can later be refolded. Interactions between sHSP and substrate in sHSP-substrate complexes and the mechanism by which substrate is transferred to ATP-dependent chaperones for refolding are poorly defined. We have established C-terminal affinity-tagged sHSPs from a eukaryote (pea HSP18.1) and a prokaryote (Synechocystis HSP16.6) as tools to investigate these issues. We demonstrate that sHSP subunit exchange for HSP18.1 and HSP16.6 is temperature-dependent and rapid at the optimal growth temperature for the organism of origin. Increasing the ratio of sHSP to substrate during substrate denaturation decreased sHSP-substrate complex size, and accordingly, addition of substrate to pre-formed sHSP-substrate complexes increased complex size. However, the size of pre-formed sHSP-substrate complexes could not be reduced by addition of more sHSP, and substrate could not be observed to transfer to added sHSP, although added sHSP subunits continued to exchange with subunits in sHSP-substrate complexes. Thus, although some number of sHSP subunits within complexes remain dynamic and may be important for complex structure/solubility, association of substrate with the sHSP does not appear to be similarly dynamic. These observations are consistent with a model in which ATP-dependent chaperones associate directly with sHSP-bound substrate to initiate refolding.

    Abstract BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1), a deubiquitinating enzyme of unknown cellular function, is mutated in breast and lung cancers. In this study, we have shown for the first time that BAP1 has tumor suppressor activity in vivo by showing that BAP1 can suppress tumorigenicity of lung cancer cells in athymic nude mice. We show that BAP1 fulfills another criterion of a genuine tumor suppressor because cancer-associated BAP1 mutants are deficient in deubiquitinating activity. We show for the first time that one of the two predicted nuclear targeting motifs is required for nuclear localization of BAP1 and that a truncation mutant found in a lung cancer cell line results in BAP1 that fails to localize to the nucleus. Furthermore, we show that deubiquitinating activity and nuclear localization are both required for BAP1-mediated tumor suppression in nude mice. We show that BAP1 exerts its tumor suppressor functions by affecting the cell cycle, speeding the progression through the G(1)-S checkpoint, and inducing cell death via a process that has characteristics of both apoptosis and necrosis. Surprisingly, BAP1-mediated growth suppression is independent of wild-type BRCA1. Because deubiquitinating enzymes are components of the ubiquitin proteasome system, this pathway has emerged as an important target for anticancer drugs. The identification of the deubiquitinating enzyme BAP1 as a tumor suppressor may lead to further understanding of how the ubiquitin proteasome system contributes to cancer and aid in the identification of new targets for cancer therapy.

    Abstract Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are ubiquitous molecular chaperones that bind denatured proteins in vitro, thereby facilitating their subsequent refolding by ATP-dependent chaperones. The mechanistic basis of this refolding process is poorly defined. We demonstrate that substrates complexed to sHsps from various sources are not released spontaneously. Dissociation and refolding of sHsp bound substrates relies on a disaggregation reaction mediated by the DnaK system, or, more efficiently, by ClpB/DnaK. While the DnaK system alone works for small, soluble sHsp/substrate complexes, ClpB/DnaK-mediated protein refolding is fastest for large, insoluble protein aggregates with incorporated sHsps. Such conditions reflect the situation in vivo, where sHsps are usually associated with insoluble proteins during heat stress. We therefore propose that sHsp function in cellular protein quality control is to promote rapid resolubilization of aggregated proteins, formed upon severe heat stress, by DnaK or ClpB/DnaK.

    Abstract The solution conformation and dynamics of the 16.9 kDa small heat shock protein from wheat have been studied using a combination of hydrogen/deuterium exchange, proteolytic digestion, and mass spectrometry. At room temperature, HSP16.9 exists as a dodecameric assembly. Regions of HSP16.9 that form extensive and essential intersubunit contacts in the assembly, including residues 1-40 and 131-151, show little or no protection against hydrogen/deuterium exchange after incubation in D(2)O for 5 s. The high levels of hydrogen/deuterium exchange indicate that these regions have experienced large conformational fluctuations in solution, breaking intersubunit contacts and exposing buried amide hydrogens to solvent. When HSP16.9 is pulse labeled for 10 ms, residues 1-40 and 131-151 are substantially more protected than they are after 5 s. Thus, the breaking of intersubunit contacts occurs on a time scale between 10 milliseconds and 5 s. At 42 degrees C, HSP16.9 exists in a suboligomeric form. When the intrinsic temperature dependence of hydrogen/deuterium exchange is taken into account, exchange patterns at 25 and 42 degrees C are identical within experimental error, suggesting that the conformation of individual HSP16.9 subunits is the same in both the dodecameric and subdodecameric forms. Significant protection is seen in regions that form the dimeric interface, suggesting that the stable suboligomeric form is a dimer. Taken together, these results suggest that heat activation of HSP16.9 occurs by shifting the dodecamer <--> dimer equilibrium in favor of free dimers. The conformation of the dimers themselves does not appear to be altered with an increase in temperature.
