ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
BAG (Bcl-2-associated athanogene) proteins are molecular chaperone regulators
that affect diverse cellular pathways. All members share a conserved motif,
called the BAG domain (BD), which binds to Hsp70/Hsc70 family proteins and
modulates their activity. We have determined the solution structure of BD from
BAG4/SODD (silencer of death domains) by multidimensional nuclear magnetic
resonance methods and compared it to the corresponding domain in BAG1
(Briknarová, K., Takayama, S., Brive, L., Havert, M. L., Knee, D. A., Velasco,
J., Homma, S., Cabezas, E., Stuart, J., Hoyt, D. W., Satterthwait, A. C.,
Llinás, M., Reed, J. C., and Ely, K. R. (2001) Nat. Struct. Biol. 8, 349-352).
The difference between BDs from these two BAG proteins is striking, and the
structural comparison defines two subfamilies of mammalian BD-containing
proteins. One subfamily includes the closely related BAG3, BAG4, and BAG5
proteins, and the other is represented by BAG1, which contains a structurally
and evolutionarily distinct BD. BDs from both BAG1 and BAG4 are three-helix
bundles; however, in BAG4, each helix in this bundle is three to four turns
shorter than its counterpart in BAG1, which reduces the length of the domain by
one-third. BAG4 BD thus represents a prototype of the minimal functional
fragment that is capable of binding to Hsc70 and modulating its chaperone
activity.

Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Surface maps of BAG4 BD. In panels a and b, the
solvent accessible surface of the domain is colored according to
electrostatic potential. Areas with negative, positive, or
neutral character are depicted in red, blue, or white,
respectively. In panel a, the view is the same as in Fig. 2,
with helices 2 and 3 and the Hsc70 binding site facing forward.
In panel b, the molecule is rotated 180° around a vertical
axis relative to the view in panel a, thus revealing the
opposite side with helix 1 in front. In panels c and d, the
surface is colored according to hydrophobicity. Yellow color
intensity is proportional to increasing hydrophobic character,
and the front and back views of the molecule are displayed as in
panels a and b. Charged and hydrophobic residues are labeled in
the appropriate panels.

Fig. 5. A comparative gallery of BAG domains. Contact
surfaces of BDs from BAG1, BAG3, BAG4, and BAG5 (columns 1-9),
whose sequences are aligned in Fig. 2, are colored according to
electrostatic potential (rows 1 and 2) and hydrophobicity (rows
3 and 4). Residues 99-210 of murine BAG1 (PDB ID 1I6Z), residues
99-205 of human BAG3 (PDB ID 1HX1), residues 376-457 of human
BAG4, and corresponding residues from homology models of BAG3
and BAG5 BDs are shown. Coloring and orientation are the same as
in Fig. 4 to permit direct comparison. Front views are shown in
rows 1 and 3, whereas back views are presented in rows 2 and 4.
