DnaK chaperone-dependent disaggregation by caseinolytic peptidase B (ClpB) mutants reveals functional overlap in the N-terminal domain and nucleotide-binding domain-1 pore tyrosine.

چکیده
Protein disaggregation in Escherichia coli is carried out by ClpB, an AAA(+) (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) molecular chaperone, together with the DnaK chaperone system. Conformational changes in ClpB driven by ATP binding and hydrolysis promote substrate binding, unfolding, and translocation. Conserved pore tyrosines in both nucleotide-binding domain-1 (NBD-1) and -2 (NBD-2), which reside in flexible loops extending into the central pore of the ClpB hexamer, bind substrates. When the NBD-1 pore loop tyrosine is substituted with alanine (Y251A), ClpB can collaborate with the DnaK system in disaggregation, although activity is reduced. The N-domain has also been implicated in substrate binding, and like the NBD-1 pore loop tyrosine, it is not essential for disaggregation activity. To further probe the function and interplay of the ClpB N-domain and the NBD-1 pore loop, we made a double mutant with an N-domain deletion and a Y251A substitution. This ClpB double mutant is inactive in substrate disaggregation with the DnaK system, although each single mutant alone can function with DnaK. Our data suggest that this loss in activity is primarily due to a decrease in substrate engagement by ClpB prior to substrate unfolding and translocation and indicate an overlapping function for the N-domain and NBD-1 pore tyrosine. Furthermore, the functional overlap seen in the presence of the DnaK system is not observed in the absence of DnaK. For innate ClpB unfolding activity, the NBD-1 pore tyrosine is required, and the presence of the N-domain is insufficient to overcome the defect of the ClpB Y251A mutant.

ClpB N-terminal domain plays a regulatory role in protein disaggregation.
ClpB/Hsp100 is an ATP-dependent disaggregase that solubilizes and reactivates protein aggregates in cooperation with the DnaK/Hsp70 chaperone system. The ClpB-substrate interaction is mediated by conserved tyrosine residues located in flexible loops in nucleotide-binding domain-1 that extend into the ClpB central pore. In addition to the tyrosines, the ClpB N-terminal domain (NTD) was suggested...
متن کاملThermotolerance Requires Refolding of Aggregated Proteins by Substrate Translocation through the Central Pore of ClpB
Cell survival under severe thermal stress requires the activity of the ClpB (Hsp104) AAA+ chaperone that solubilizes and reactivates aggregated proteins in concert with the DnaK (Hsp70) chaperone system. How protein disaggregation is achieved and whether survival is solely dependent on ClpB-mediated elimination of aggregates or also on reactivation of aggregated proteins has been unclear. We en...
متن کاملThe N terminus of ClpB from Thermus thermophilus is not essential for the chaperone activity.
ClpB from Thermus thermophilus belongs to the Clp/Hsp100 protein family and reactivates protein aggregates in cooperation with the DnaK chaperone system. The mechanism of protein reactivation and interaction with the DnaK system remains unclear. ClpB possesses two nucleotide binding domains, which are essential for function and show a complex allosteric behavior. The role of the N-terminal doma...
متن کاملStability of the two wings of the coiled-coil domain of ClpB chaperone is critical for its disaggregation activity.
The ClpB chaperone forms a hexamer ring and rescues aggregated proteins in co-operation with the DnaK system. Each subunit of ClpB has two nucleotide-binding modules, AAA (ATPase associated with various cellular activities)-1 and AAA-2, and an 85-A (1 A=0.1 nm)-long coiled-coil. The coiled-coil consists of two halves: wing-1, leaning toward AAA-1, and wing-2, leaning away from all the domains. ...

Heat-shock protein 104 (Hsp104) and caseinolytic peptidase B (ClpB), members of the AAA+ superfamily, are molecular machines involved in disaggregating insoluble protein aggregates, a process not long ago thought to be impossible. During extreme stress they are essential for cell survival. In addition, Hsp104 regulates prion assembly and disassembly. For most of their protein remodeling activit...
