Abstract
J-domain proteins (JDPs) form a very large molecular chaperone family involved in proteostasis processes, such as protein folding, trafficking through membranes and degradation/disaggregation. JDPs are Hsp70 co-chaperones capable of stimulating ATPase activity as well as selecting and presenting client proteins to Hsp70. In mitochondria, human DjC20/HscB (a type III JDP that possesses only the conserved J-domain in some region of the protein) is involved in [FeS] protein biogenesis and assists human mitochondrial Hsp70 (HSPA9). Human DjC20 possesses a zinc-finger domain in its N-terminus, which closely contacts the J-domain and appears to be essential for its function. Here, we investigated the hDjC20 structure in solution as well as the importance of Zn+2 for its stability. The recombinant hDjC20 was pure, folded and capable of stimulating HSPA9 ATPase activity. It behaved as a slightly elongated monomer, as attested by small-angle X-ray scattering and SEC-MALS. The presence of Zn2+ in the hDjC20 samples was verified, a stoichiometry of 1:1 was observed, and its removal by high concentrations of EDTA and DTPA was unfeasible. However, thermal and chemical denaturation in the presence of EDTA led to a reduction in protein stability, suggesting a synergistic action between the chelating agent and denaturators that facilitate protein unfolding depending on metal removal. These data suggest that the affinity of Zn+2 for the protein is very high, evidencing its importance for the hDjC20 structure.

Abstract
This work reports endoglucanase and beta-glucosidase production by the thermophilic fungus Myceliophthora heterothallica in solid-state (SSC) and submerged (SmC) cultivation. Wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse were used for SSC and cardboard for SmC. Highest endoglucanase production in SSC occurred after 192 hours: 1,170.6 ± 0.8 U/g, and in SmC after 168 hours: 2,642 ± 561 U/g. The endoglucanases and beta-glucosidases produced by both cultivation systems showed slight differences concerning their optimal pH and temperature. The number of endoglucanases was also different: six isoforms in SSC and ten in SmC. Endoglucanase activity remained above 50% after incubation between pH 3.0 and 9.0 for 24 h for both cultivation systems. The effect of several chemicals displayed variation between SSC and SmC isoenzymes. Manganese activated the enzymes from SmC but inhibited those from SSC. For β-glucosidases, maximum production on SmC was 244 ± 48 U/g after 168 hours using cardboard as carbon source. In SSC maximum production reached 10.9 ± 0.3 U/g after 240 h with 1 : 1 wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse. Manganese exerted a significant activation on SSC β-glucosidases, and glucose inhibited the enzymes from both cultivation systems. FeCl3 exerted the strongest inhibition for endoglucanases and β-glucosidases.
