NMR Studies on the Structure of Yeast Sis1 and the Dynamics of Its Interaction with Ssa1-EEVD.

ABSTRACT: HSP70 chaperones play pivotal roles in facilitating protein folding, refolding, and disaggregation through their binding and releasing activities. This intricate process is further supported by J-domain proteins (JDPs), also known as DNAJs or HSP40s, which can be categorized into classes A and B. In yeast, these classes are represented by Ydj1 and Sis1, respectively. While both classes stimulate the ATPase activity of Ssa1 (yeast HSP70) through the J-domain, only class B JDPs possess the unique ability to efficiently stimulate Ssa1 in disaggregation processes. The C-terminal EEVD motif of HSP70 plays a crucial role in mediating these interactions by connecting with both client proteins and JDPs. However, the removal of the EEVD motif disrupts the capacity of HSP70 to associate with class B
