    Abstract Proteins carry out the vast majority of functions in cells, but can only do so when properly folded. Following stress or mutation, proteins can lose their proper fold, resulting in misfolding, inactivity, and aggregation-posing a threat to cellular health. In order to counteract protein aggregation, cells have evolved a remarkable subset of molecular chaperones, called protein disaggregases, which collaboratively possess the ability to forcibly untangle protein aggregates. Here, we review the different chaperone disaggregation machineries present in the human cytosol and their mechanisms of action. Understanding, how these disaggregases function, is both universally and clinically important, as protein aggregation has been linked to multiple, debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract Heat shock protein 104 (Hsp104) protein disaggregases are powerful molecular machines that harness the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to disaggregate a wide range of protein aggregates and amyloids, as well as to assist in yeast prion propagation. Little is known, however, about how Hsp104 chaperones recognize such a diversity of substrates, or indeed the contribution of the substrate-binding N-terminal domain (NTD) to Hsp104 function. Herein, we present a NMR spectroscopy study, which structurally characterizes the Hsp104 NTD-substrate interaction. We show that the NTD includes a substrate-binding groove that specifically recognizes exposed hydrophobic stretches in unfolded, misfolded, amyloid and prion substrates of Hsp104. In addition, we find that the NTD itself has chaperoning activities which help to protect the exposed hydrophobic regions of its substrates from further misfolding and aggregation, thereby priming them for threading through the Hsp104 central channel. We further demonstrate that mutations to this substrate-binding groove abolish Hsp104 activation by client proteins and keep the chaperone in a partially inhibited state. The Hsp104 variant with these mutations also exhibited significantly reduced disaggregation activity and cell survival at extreme temperatures. Together, our findings provide both a detailed characterization of the NTD-substrate complex and insight into the functional regulatory role of the NTD in protein disaggregation and yeast thermotolerance.

    Abstract Hsp70s are ubiquitous molecular chaperones that act in a myriad of cellular functions, affecting virtually all aspects in the life of proteins from synthesis to degradation. Hsp70 proteins act in the cell in cooperation with a large set of dedicated co-chaperones consisting of J-domain proteins and nucleotide exchange factors that regulate the Hsp70 chaperone cycle. Recent studies have made significant progress towards obtaining a better understanding of the mechanisms through which Hsp70s and their co-chaperones operate, providing insights into structural, kinetic, and functional features of the various members of this network. In this chapter we describe the emerging working principles of the Hsp70 machine and its co-chaperones, and highlight how mechanistic aspects of this network are tied to distinct protein folding functions.

    Abstract Molecular chaperones are essential cellular components that aid in protein folding and preventing the abnormal aggregation of disease-associated proteins. Mutations in one such chaperone, DNAJB6, were identified in patients with LGMDD1, a dominant autosomal disorder characterized by myofibrillar degeneration and accumulations of aggregated protein within myocytes. The molecular mechanisms through which such mutations cause this dysfunction, however, are not well understood. Here we employ a combination of solution NMR and biochemical assays to investigate the structural and functional changes in LGMDD1 mutants of DNAJB6. Surprisingly, we find that DNAJB6 disease mutants show no reduction in their aggregation-prevention activity in vitro, and instead differ structurally from the WT protein, affecting their interaction with Hsp70 chaperones. While WT DNAJB6 contains a helical element regulating its ability to bind and activate Hsp70, in LGMDD1 disease mutants this regulation is disrupted. These variants can thus recruit and hyperactivate Hsp70 chaperones in an unregulated manner, depleting Hsp70 levels in myocytes, and resulting in the disruption of proteostasis. Interfering with DNAJB6-Hsp70 binding, however, reverses the disease phenotype, suggesting future therapeutic avenues for LGMDD1.

    Abstract J-domain proteins (JDPs) constitute a large family of molecular chaperones that bind a broad spectrum of substrates, targeting them to Hsp70, thus determining the specificity of and activating the entire chaperone functional cycle. The malfunction of JDPs is therefore inextricably linked to myriad human disorders. Here, we uncover a unique mechanism by which chaperones recognize misfolded clients, present in human class A JDPs. Through a newly identified β-hairpin site, these chaperones detect changes in protein dynamics at the initial stages of misfolding, prior to exposure of hydrophobic regions or large structural rearrangements. The JDPs then sequester misfolding-prone proteins into large oligomeric assemblies, protecting them from aggregation. Through this mechanism, class A JDPs bind destabilized p53 mutants, preventing clearance of these oncoproteins by Hsp70-mediated degradation, thus promoting cancer progression. Removal of the β-hairpin abrogates this protective activity while minimally affecting other chaperoning functions. This suggests the class A JDP β-hairpin as a highly specific target for cancer therapeutics.

    Abstract Solution-based NMR spectroscopy has been an important tool for studying the structure and dynamics of relatively small proteins and protein complexes with aggregate molecular masses under approximately 50 kDa. The development of new experiments and labeling schemes, coupled with continued improvements in hardware, has significantly reduced this size limitation, enabling atomic-resolution studies of molecular machines in the 1 MDa range. In this Perspective, some of the important advances are highlighted in the context of studies of molecular chaperones involved in protein disaggregation. New insights into the structural biology of disaggregation obtained from NMR studies are described, focusing on the unique capabilities of the methodology for obtaining atomic-resolution descriptions of dynamic systems.

    Abstract The microtubule-associated protein, tau, is the major subunit of neurofibrillary tangles associated with neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. In the cell, however, tau aggregation can be prevented by a class of proteins known as molecular chaperones. While numerous chaperones are known to interact with tau, though, little is known regarding the mechanisms by which these prevent tau aggregation. Here, we describe the effects of ATP-independent Hsp40 chaperones, DNAJA2 and DNAJB1, on tau amyloid-fiber formation and compare these to the small heat shock protein HSPB1. We find that the chaperones play complementary roles, with each preventing tau aggregation differently and interacting with distinct sets of tau species. Whereas HSPB1 only binds tau monomers, DNAJB1 and DNAJA2 recognize aggregation-prone conformers and even mature fibers. In addition, we find that both Hsp40s bind tau seeds and fibers via their C-terminal domain II (CTDII), with DNAJA2 being further capable of recognizing tau monomers by a second, distinct site in CTDI. These results lay out the mechanisms by which the diverse members of the Hsp40 family counteract the formation and propagation of toxic tau aggregates and highlight the fact that chaperones from different families/classes play distinct, yet complementary roles in preventing pathological protein aggregation.
