Abstract
The intricate protein-chaperone network is vital for cellular function. Recent discoveries have unveiled the existence of specialized chaperone complexes called epichaperomes, protein assemblies orchestrating the reconfiguration of protein-protein interaction networks, enhancing cellular adaptability and proliferation. This study delves into the structural and regulatory aspects of epichaperomes, with a particular emphasis on the significance of post-translational modifications in shaping their formation and function. A central finding of this investigation is the identification of specific PTMs on HSP90, particularly at residues Ser226 and Ser255 situated within an intrinsically disordered region, as critical determinants in epichaperome assembly. Our data demonstrate that the phosphorylation of these serine residues enhances HSP90's interaction with other chaperones and co-chaperones, creating a microenvironment conducive to epichaperome formation. Furthermore, this study establishes a direct link between epichaperome function and cellular physiology, especially in contexts where robust proliferation and adaptive behavior are essential, such as cancer and stem cell maintenance. These findings not only provide mechanistic insights but also hold promise for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting chaperone complexes in diseases characterized by epichaperome dysregulation, bridging the gap between fundamental research and precision medicine.

Structural dynamics of RAF1-HSP90-CDC37 and HSP90 complexes reveal asymmetric client interactions and key structural elements. Commun Biol 2024; 7:260. [PMID: 38431713 PMCID: PMC10908828 DOI: 10.1038/s42003-024-05959-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
RAF kinases are integral to the RAS-MAPK signaling pathway, and proper RAF1 folding relies on its interaction with the chaperone HSP90 and the cochaperone CDC37. Understanding the intricate molecular interactions governing RAF1 folding is crucial for comprehending this process. Here, we present a cryo-EM structure of the closed-state RAF1-HSP90-CDC37 complex, where the C-lobe of the RAF1 kinase domain binds to one side of the HSP90 dimer, and an unfolded N-lobe segment of the RAF1 kinase domain threads through the center of the HSP90 dimer. CDC37 binds to the kinase C-lobe, mimicking the N-lobe with its HxNI motif. We also describe structures of HSP90 dimers without RAF1 and CDC37, displaying only N-terminal and middle domains, which we term the semi-open state. Employing 1 μs atomistic simulations, energetic decomposition, and comparative structural analysis, we elucidate the dynamics and interactions within these complexes. Our quantitative analysis reveals that CDC37 bridges the HSP90-RAF1 interaction, RAF1 binds HSP90 asymmetrically, and that HSP90 structural elements engage RAF1's unfolded region. Additionally, N- and C-terminal interactions stabilize HSP90 dimers, and molecular interactions in HSP90 dimers rearrange between the closed and semi-open states. Our findings provide valuable insight into the contributions of HSP90 and CDC37 in mediating client folding.

[PMID: 38110033 PMCID: PMC10819763 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.105576] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023] Open
Abstract
The sixth family phosphodiesterases (PDE6) are principal effector enzymes of the phototransduction cascade in rods and cones. Maturation of nascent PDE6 protein into a functional enzyme relies on a coordinated action of ubiquitous chaperone HSP90, its specialized cochaperone aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein-like 1 (AIPL1), and the regulatory Pγ-subunit of PDE6. Deficits in PDE6 maturation and function underlie severe visual disorders and blindness. Here, to elucidate the roles of HSP90, AIPL1, and Pγ in the maturation process, we developed the heterologous expression system of human cone PDE6C in insect cells allowing characterization of the purified enzyme. We demonstrate that in the absence of Pγ, HSP90, and AIPL1 convert the inactive and aggregating PDE6C species into dimeric PDE6C that is predominantly misassembled. Nonetheless, a small fraction of PDE6C is properly assembled and fully functional. From the analysis of mutant mice that lack both rod Pγ and PDE6C, we conclude that, in contrast to the cone enzyme, no maturation of rod PDE6AB occurs in the absence of Pγ. Co-expression of PDE6C with AIPL1 and Pγ in insect cells leads to a fully mature enzyme that is equivalent to retinal PDE6. Lastly, using immature PDE6C and purified chaperone components, we reconstituted the process of the client maturation in vitro. Based on this analysis we propose a scheme for the PDE6 maturation process.
