Cyclophilin catalyzes protein folding in yeast mitochondria.
Cyclophilins are a family of ubiquitous proteins that are the intracellular target of the immunosuppressant drug cyclosporin A. Although cyclophilins catalyze peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerization in vitro, it has remained open whether they also perform this function in vivo. Here we show that Cpr3p, a cyclophilin in the matrix of yeast mitochondria, accelerates the refolding of a fusion prote...
متن کاملRole of the chaperonin cofactor Hsp10 in protein folding and sorting in yeast mitochondria
Protein folding in mitochondria is mediated by the chaperonin Hsp60, the homologue of E. coli GroEL. Mitochondria also contain a homologue of the cochaperonin GroES, called Hsp10, which is a functional regulator of the chaperonin. To define the in vivo role of the co-chaperonin, we have used the genetic and biochemical potential of the yeast S. cerevisiae. The HSP10 gene was cloned and sequence...
متن کاملMembrane protein import in yeast mitochondria.
The protein import pathway that targets proteins to the mitochondrial matrix has been extensively characterized in the past 15 years. Variations of this import pathway account for the sorting of proteins to other compartments as well, but the insertion of integral inner membrane proteins lacking a presequence is mediated by distinct translocation machinery. This consists of a complex of Tim9 an...
متن کاملCyclophilin A catalyzes proline isomerization by an electrostatic handle mechanism.
Proline isomerization is a ubiquitous process that plays a key role in the folding of proteins and in the regulation of their functions. Different families of enzymes, known as "peptidyl-prolyl isomerases" (PPIases), catalyze this reaction, which involves the interconversion between the cis and trans isomers of the N-terminal amide bond of the amino acid proline. However, complete descriptions ...
متن کاملCyclophilin 20 is involved in mitochondrial protein folding in cooperation with molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp60.
We studied the role of mitochondrial cyclophilin 20 (CyP20), a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, in preprotein translocation across the mitochondrial membranes and protein folding inside the organelle. The inhibitory drug cyclosporin A did not impair membrane translocation of preproteins, but it delayed the folding of an imported protein in wild-type mitochondria. Similarly, Neurospora crass...
