Characterization of interactions between the anti-apoptotic protein BAG-1 and Hsc70 molecular chaperones.

چکیده
The anti-cell death protein BAG-1 binds to 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70/Hsc70) and modulates their chaperone activity. Among other facilitory roles, BAG-1 may serve as a nucleotide exchange factor for Hsp70/Hsc70 family proteins and thus represents the first example of a eukaryotic homologue of the bacterial co-chaperone GrpE. In this study, the interactions between BAG-1 and Hsc70 are characterized and compared with the analogous GrpE-DnaK bacterial system. In contrast to GrpE, which binds DnaK as a dimer, BAG-1 binds to Hsc70 as a monomer with a 1:1 stoichiometry. Dynamic light scattering, sedimentation equilibrium, and circular dichroism measurements provided evidence that BAG-1 exists as an elongated, highly helical monomer in solution. Isothermal titration microcalorimetry was used to determine the complex stoichiometry and an equilibrium dissociation constant, KD, of 100 nM. Kinetic analysis using surface plasmon resonance yielded a KD consistent with the calorimetrically determined value. Molecular modeling permitted a comparison of structural features between the functionally homologous BAG-1 and GrpE proteins. These data were used to propose a mechanism for BAG-1 in the regulation of Hsp70/Hsc70 chaperone activity.

GrpE-like regulation of the hsc70 chaperone by the anti-apoptotic protein BAG-1.
The BAG-1 protein appears to inhibit cell death by binding to Bcl-2, the Raf-1 protein kinase, and certain growth factor receptors, but the mechanism of inhibition remains enigmatic. BAG-1 also interacts with several steroid hormone receptors which require the molecular chaperones Hsc70 and Hsp90 for activation. Here we show that BAG-1 is a regulator of the Hsc70 chaperone. BAG-1 binds to the A...
متن کاملBAG-1 modulates the chaperone activity of Hsp70/Hsc70.
The 70 kDa heat shock family of molecular chaperones is essential to a variety of cellular processes, yet it is unclear how these proteins are regulated in vivo. We present evidence that the protein BAG-1 is a potential modulator of the molecular chaperones, Hsp70 and Hsc70. BAG-1 binds to the ATPase domain of Hsp70 and Hsc70, without requirement for their carboxy-terminal peptide-binding domai...
متن کاملDistinct isoforms of the cofactor BAG-1 differentially affect Hsc70 chaperone function.
In the mammalian cytosol and nucleus the activity of the molecular chaperone Hsc70 is regulated by chaperone cofactors that modulate ATP binding and hydrolysis by Hsc70. Among such cofactors is the anti-apoptotic protein BAG-1. Remarkably, BAG-1 is expressed as multiple isoforms, which are distinguished by their amino termini. We investigated whether distinct isoforms differ with respect to the...
متن کاملNon-canonical Interactions between Heat Shock Cognate Protein 70 (Hsc70) and Bcl2-associated Anthanogene (BAG) Co-Chaperones Are Important for Client Release.
Heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70) regulates protein homeostasis through its reversible interactions with client proteins. Hsc70 has two major domains: a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD), that hydrolyzes ATP, and a substrate-binding domain (SBD), where clients are bound. Members of the BAG family of co-chaperones, including Bag1 and Bag3, are known to accelerate release of both ADP and client...
متن کاملTranscriptional stimulation by the DNA binding protein Hap46/BAG-1M involves hsp70/hsc70 molecular chaperones.
The hsp70/hsc70-associating protein Hap46 of human origin, also called BAG-1M (Bcl-2-associated athanogene 1), has been characterized previously as a DNA binding protein, which is able to stimulate transcription. By use of in vitro assays we now show that Hap46-mediated transcriptional activation can occur from linearized as well as from supercoiled circular DNA and does not require the presenc...
