DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Heat shock proteins (Hsps) play dual roles in cellular biology; they are the first line of defense against cytotoxic stresses, and are tightly integrated into signaling and regulatory pathways under normal growth conditions. A subset of Hsps, including Hsp70 and Hsp90, act as molecular chaperones, and may be required at multiple stages during a substrate protein's lifetime, ranging from biogenesis, localization, and stability, to activation and degradation. Protein chaperones are induced during numerous pathophysiological conditions including ischemia and tumorigenesis, and are known to facilitate stability and activity of oncoproteins such as v-src kinase and the p53 tumor suppressor. The Hsp110 class of chaperones is a poorly understood Hsp70 relative and is present in all eukaryotes, with tissue-specific isoforms of unknown function in humans. Our long-term objective is to elucidate the cellular roles of this chaperone family. The baker's yeast Hsp110 homolog is encoded by the SSE1 and SSE2 genes, and little is known about their function. We have discovered that Sse1 exists as a heterodimer in vivo with the cytosolic Hsp70s Ssa and Ssb, and that Sse1 is required for signal transduction activity of the Hsp90 chaperone system. We therefore hypothesize that Sse1, and by extension the mammalian Hsp110 chaperone, may function primarily as a modulator of Hsp70 activity. This proposal seeks to gain a mechanistic understanding of the cellular roles of Hsp110 chaperones by asking two specific questions: 1) How does Sse1 operate in partnership with the yeast Hsp70 Ssa1 and 2) How does Sse1 participate in signal transduction with Hsp90? In the first aim we will determine interaction sites and regulation of Hsp70 by Sse1 using purified chaperones, ultimately deciphering effects of Sse1 on protein folding in vitro. We will complement these experiments with in vivo assays to determine the contribution of Sse1 to Ssa1-dependent processes. In the second aim, we will determine both the stage at which Sse1 acts in the Hsp90 substrate folding cycle, and specific effects on substrate maturation using the model client protein glucocorticoid receptor. Finally we will apply these findings to understand how Sse1 in collaboration with Hsp90 is required for heat shock survival by modulating signaling through the Slt2 MAP kinase in the cell integrity pathway. These lines of investigation in yeast will serve as a model for predicting which processes Hsp110 may facilitate in mammalian cells.

描述（由申请人提供）：热休克蛋白（HSP）在细胞生物学中起双重作用；它们是针对细胞毒性应激的第一道防线，在正常生长条件下紧密整合到信号传导和调节途径中。 HSP的子集，包括HSP70和HSP90，充当分子伴侣，在底物蛋白质的寿命期间，可能需要在多个阶段，从生物发生，定位和稳定性到激活和降解。在包括缺血和肿瘤发生在内的许多病理生理条件下诱导蛋白质伴侣，众所周知，促进了癌细胞蛋白（如V-SRC激酶和p53肿瘤抑制剂）的稳定性和活性。 HSP110类伴侣是一个知之甚少的HSP70相对，并且存在于所有真核生物中，在人类中具有未知功能的组织特异性同工型。我们的长期目标是阐明该伴侣家族的细胞作用。贝克的酵母HSP110同源物由SSE1和SSE2基因编码，对其功能知之甚少。我们发现，SSE1作为胞体中的异二聚体与胞质HSP70S SSA和SSB存在，并且SSE1是HSP90伴侣系统的信号转导活性所必需的。因此，我们假设SSE1并通过扩展哺乳动物HSP110伴侣，可能主要起作用HSP70活性的调节剂。该提案试图通过提出两个特定问题来获得对HSP110伴侣的细胞作用的机械理解：1）SSE1与酵母HSP70 SSA1和2）SSE1如何合作运作，SSE1如何参与与HSP90的信号传递？在第一个目标中，我们将使用纯化的伴侣确定SSE1对HSP70的相互作用位点和调节，最终是SSE1对体外蛋白质折叠的解密作用。我们将使用体内测定来补充这些实验，以确定SSE1对SSA1依赖性过程的贡献。在第二个目标中，我们将确定SSE1在HSP90底物折叠周期中起作用的阶段，以及使用模型客户蛋白蛋白质糖皮质激素受体对底物成熟的特定影响。最后，我们将应用这些发现，以了解如何通过通过细胞完整性途径中的SLT2 MAP激酶调节信号传导来与HSP90合作进行热冲击存活。这些在酵母中的研究线将作为预测HSP110过程可能有助于哺乳动物细胞的模型。
