Autorepression of yeast Hsp70 cochaperones by intramolecular interactions involving their J-domains

Paolo De Los Rios, Satyam Tiwari, Pierre Goloubinoff, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Mathieu Rebeaud, Adélaïde Alice Mohr

The 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) chaperones control protein homeostasis in all ATP-containing cellular compartments. J-domain proteins (JDPs) coevolved with Hsp70s to trigger ATP hydrolysis and catalytically upload various substrate polypeptides in ne ...

Second Virtual International Symposium on Cellular and Organismal Stress Responses, September 8-9, 2022

Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Goloubinoff, Wei Li

The Second International Symposium on Cellular and Organismal Stress Responses took place virtually on September 8-9, 2022. This meeting was supported by the Cell Stress Society International (CSSI) and organized by Patricija Van OostenHawle and Andrew Tru ...

A fluorescent multi-domain protein reveals the unfolding mechanism of Hsp70

Paolo De Los Rios, Satyam Tiwari, Pierre Goloubinoff, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Salvatore Assenza

Detailed understanding of the mechanism by which Hsp70 chaperones protect cells against protein aggregation is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive characterization of the aggregates, which are typically heterogeneous. Here we designed a reporter chaper ...

Repair or Degrade: the Thermodynamic Dilemma of Cellular Protein Quality-Control

Paolo De Los Rios, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Pierre Goloubinoff, Satyam Tiwari, Mathieu Rebeaud

Life is a non-equilibrium phenomenon. Owing to their high free energy content, the macromolecules of life tend to spontaneously react with ambient oxygen and water and turn into more stable inorganic molecules. A similar thermodynamic picture applies to th ...

Function, evolution, and structure of J-domain proteins

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci, Pierre Goloubinoff

Hsp70 chaperone systems are very versatile machines present in nearly all living organisms and in nearly all intracellular compartments. They function in many fundamental processes through their facilitation of protein (re)folding, trafficking, remodeling, ...

Chaperones convert the energy from ATP into the nonequilibrium stabilization of native proteins

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci, Pierre Goloubinoff, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Alberto Stefano Sassi

During and after protein translation, molecular chaperones require ATP hydrolysis to favor the native folding of their substrates and, under stress, to avoid aggregation and revert misfolding. Why do some chaperones need ATP, and what are the consequences ...

Molecular chaperones inject energy from ATP hydrolysis into the non-equilibrium stabilisation of native proteins

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci, Alberto Stefano Sassi, Pierre Goloubinoff, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet

Protein homeostasis, namely the ensemble of cellular mechanisms collectively controlling the activity, stability and conformational states of proteins, depends on energy-consuming processes. De novo protein synthesis requires ATP hydrolysis for peptide bon ...

Experimental Milestones in the Discovery of Molecular Chaperones as Polypeptide Unfolding Enzymes

Andrija Finka, Pierre Goloubinoff

Molecular chaperones control the cellular folding, assembly, unfolding, disassembly, translocation, activation, inactivation, disaggregation, and degradation of proteins. In 1989, groundbreaking experiments demonstrated that a purified chaperone can bind a ...

Hsp70 chaperones use ATP to remodel native protein oligomers and stable aggregates by entropic pulling

Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Goloubinoff

Forceful unfolding by entropic pulling is the general mechanism by which Hsp70 and Hsp110 chaperones control the oligomeric states, structures and activities of cellular proteins. ...

Quantitative proteomics of heat-treated human cells show an across-the-board mild depletion of housekeeping proteins to massively accumulate few HSPs

Paolo De Los Rios, Andrija Finka, Pierre Goloubinoff, Vishal Sood

Classic semiquantitative proteomic methods have shown that all organisms respond to a mild heat shock by an apparent massive accumulation of a small set of proteins, named heat-shock proteins (HSPs) and a concomitant slowing down in the synthesis of the ot ...
