J Struct Biol. 123:1998;248-259. Cryoelectron micrographs of ClpAP were used to characterize the symmetry mismatch between the heptameric ClpP cylinder and the hexameric ClpA ring. A cylindrical three-dimensional reconstruction reveals three internal cavities of the holocomplex: the central proteolytic chamber, a cavity within the ATPase ring and a connecting channel between these two chambers.

The first three-dimensional reconstruction of 26S proteasomes, based on electron microscopic analysis, reveals a complex overall shape of the eukaryotic regulatory particle. A flexible linkage of the regulatory particle and the core particle is documented in addition to movements within the regulatory particle.

Cell. 94:1998;615-623. Upon deletion of Rpn10, a non-ATPase subunit of the proteasome, the regulatory particle can be dissociated into two distinct subcomplexes. Whereas the lid contains eight non-ATPase subunits and is required for ubiquitin-dependent degradation of proteasomal substrates, the base complex is composed of the six ATPase subunits plus two non-ATPase subunits and is able to activate the peptidase activity of the proteolytic core particle in the presence of ATP.

In this study, the six proteasomal ATPases were shown to be functionally differentiated. Despite a high degree of sequence conservation among this subset of proteasomal subunits, individual inactivation results in distinct phenotypes from subunit to subunit. An Rpt2 mutant exhibited an inhibition of proteasomal peptidase activity, suggesting a possible role for Rpt2 in gating of the proteasome channel.

29. •] in the presence of AMP-PNP and ATP, respectively, provided insight into the subunit interactions of AAA+ proteins and into the nature of the nucleotide-binding pocket. In conjunction with the sequence conservation pattern of this protein family [2], it suggested a model for the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to conformational changes within the ring structure.

The putative substrate-binding domains of various Clp ATPases and of Lon were analyzed for their ability to bind to in vivo substrates of the corresponding protease. They were shown to display distinct but overlapping substrate binding specificities.

The authors present the first evidence for a chaperone-like activity of an isolated ATPase domain of a eukaryotic energy-dependent protease, the AAA domain of the yeast mitochondrial membrane protease Yme1. Substrate binding by Yme1 is proposed to be guided by specific recognition of unfolded solvent exposed domains of integral membrane proteins.

ClpXP exerts a dual function during bacteriophage Mu DNA replication. Its proteolytic activity is required to deactivate the repressor for Mu transposition, while the chaperone activity remodels MuA transposase, a step that is necessary for the transition to replisome assembly. Interestingly MuA is not degraded by ClpX during this process.

42. Hoskins JR, Pak M, Maurizi MR, Wickner S The role of the ClpA chaperone in proteolysis by ClpAP. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 95:1998;12135-12140. The individual steps of ClpAP mediated protein degradation were analyzed. It was shown that a protein bound to ClpA can be translocated to ClpP in the presence of ATP. While the assembly of the ClpAP holocomplex is achieved in the presence of non-hydrolyzable ATP analogs, substrate translocation requires ATP hydrolysis.

J Biol Chem. 274:1999;19316-19322. By employing a chaperone-defective ClpA molecule, which is able to exert this activity only upon association with ClpP, the authors present evidence that the ClpAP holocomplex is able to exert both a proteolytic and protein-remodeling function.

In this study, a chaperone-like activity of the eukaryotic proteasome was demonstrated for the model substrate citrate synthase. The non-native molecule binds to the base subassembly. It is released in a folding-competent state in an ATP-stimulated process.

Molec Cell. 3:1999;687-695. Rad 23 is a mediator of nucleotide excision repair that was previously demonstrated to associate with the proteasome via a ubiquitin-like domain at its amino-terminus. This paper shows that the Rad23-proteasome interaction is important for nucleotide excision repair in vitro. The data also suggest for the first time a non-proteolytic activity of the proteasome, which is suggested to be a chaperone activity.

This study provides the first direct evidence for an active unfolding event in a chaperone-mediated refolding system. By analyzing the velocity of hydrogen exchange of tritium-labeled protein, it was demonstrated that protected protons become accessible to the surrounding medium during Rubisco refolding in the presence of the complete chaperonin system.
48. Kihara A, Akiyama Y, Ito K Dislocation of membrane proteins in FtsH-mediated proteolysis. EMBO J. 18:1999;2970-2981. FtsH is a membrane-inserted ATP-dependent protease with its functional domains facing the cytoplasm. Despite this topology, FtsH is able to degrade a membrane-bound protein that is exposed to the periplasmic space. Complete degradation by FtsH is only possible if disulfide bond formation in the periplasm is prevented. Presumably the disulfide bonds impose a steric block to the unfolding and pulling forces imposed by FtsH during the degradation process.

50. Mayer TU, Braun T, Jentsch S Role of the proteasome in membrane extraction of a short-lived ER-transmembrane protein. EMBO J. 17:1998;3251-3257. The authors show that the proteasome plays a key role in the extraction of membrane proteins from the ER membrane prior to their degradation. Data obtained with proteasome mutants suggest that the driving force for retrograde protein transport from the ER may be generated by the proteasome.
