Abstract
Cochaperones are essential for Hsp70- and Hsc70-mediated folding of proteins and include nucleotide-exchange factors (NEFs) that assist protein folding by accelerating ADP-ATP exchange on Hsp70. The cochaperone Bag2 binds misfolded Hsp70 clients and also acts as an NEF, but the molecular basis for its function is unclear. We show that, rather than being a member of the Bag domain family, Bag2 contains a new type of Hsp70 NEF domain, which we call the 'brand new bag' (BNB) domain. Free and Hsc70-bound crystal structures of Bag2-BNB show its dimeric structure, in which a flanking linker helix and loop bind to Hsc70 to promote nucleotide exchange. NMR analysis demonstrates that the client binding sites and Hsc70-interaction sites of the Bag2-BNB overlap, and that Hsc70 can displace clients from Bag2-BNB, indicating a distinct mechanism for the regulation of Hsp70-mediated protein folding by Bag2.
Figure 1.
(a) Comparison between domain organizations of Bag2 and Bag1S, the shortest isoform of Bag1. The C-terminal domain of each protein binds to Hsp70 and has NEF activity. (b) Cartoon representations of the Bag2-BNB dimer, related by an approximately 90° rotation. Dotted lines indicate the disordered linker loops of each monomer. (c) Structure of the Bag1-Bag domain^8 (PDB 1HX1). (d) Packing between protomers of the Bag2-BNB dimer. Side chains of nonpolar residues are shown as spheres. (e) Sedimentation velocity analysis of Bag2-BNB (left) and Bag2 (right) at 48,000 r.p.m. (186,000g) and 20 °C. The sedimentation coefficient distribution c(s) of Bag2-BNB shows a single species corresponding to a dimer, in agreement with the crystal structure, whereas Bag2 shows multiple species. Mass estimates suggest that the large peak corresponds to a tetramer (Supplementary Table 1).
Figure 2.
(a) The asymmetric unit of the crystal, containing two Hsc70-NBD molecules and a Bag2-BNB dimer. (b) Closer view of the interface between the Bag2-BNB dimer and one of the Hsc70-NBD molecules. The BNB dimer contacts Hsc70-NBD subdomains Ib and IIb, largely through the Bag2 linker loop and L helix. (c) Close-up view of contacts between the Bag2-BNB linker loop and residues on subdomain Ib of Hsc70-NBD. Dotted lines represent likely hydrogen bonds or salt bridges. (d) Close-up view of contacts between the Bag2-BNB dimer and subdomain IIb of Hsc70-NBD. (e) Close-up view of additional contacts between Bag2-BNB and subdomain IIb of Hsc70-NBD. This view is related to that in d by a rotation of approximately 180° about the vertical axis.
