    Steroid receptor proteins are direct transducers, binding specifically to cognate hormonal gene regulatory DNA sequences. The glucocorticoids receptor (GR) is a cytoplasmic protein in its hormone-free, untransformed, state; after hormone binding GR undergoes transformations (activation) which induces GR nuclear translocation, and the binding to specific DNA sequences termed glucocorticoids response elements. Analysis if cell extracts indicates that the untransformed GR is oligomecir, and that complexes contain non-receptor proteins. One of these is the 90 KDa a heat shochk protein, HSP 90. Whether ither factors are apart of untransformer receptor complexes is not well established, but HSP 90 kDA appears to associate with untransformed receptor even within intact cells, implying that this interaction may be physiologically relevant. HSP 90 kDa seems to be necessary to maintain the unliganded GR in a high affinity steroid binding conformation, and to repress its transcriptional activity. Upon hormone binding, HSP 90 kDa dissociates from GR and GR acquires an increases affinity for DNA. Whereas several regions involved in the formation of a stable complexes with HSP 90 kDa have been localized in the sequence of GR and other steroid hormone receptors, the corresponding regions of HSP 90 kDa still remain unidentified. To characterize these regions interacting with GR, we have, a first step, developed a fast and efficient method for the isolation of HSP 90 kDa, comprising a two-step high-performance anion-exchange and gel permeation column chromatography. The purification of this protein allowed us to determine its biochemical and physicochemical properties. As a second step, we have studied the highly negatively charged sequence region present in all eukaryotic HSP 90 kDa. Others have suggested that this region could interact with steroid receptor. Therefore, a peptide corresponding to the highly negatively charged sequence (232-266) from the mouse HSP 90 kDa ÎČ was synthesized. A polyclonal antibody (Ac232-266) was raised against this peptide. The antibody reacted with both the native and denatured forms of HSP 90 kDa, and cross-reacted with HSP 90 kDa from a broad range of species. Contrary to the monoclonal antibody Ac88 (which recognizes all eukaryotic HSP 90 kDa), our polyclonal antipeptide antibody did not interact with the untransformed rat glucocorticoid receptor. We demonstrated that epitopes recognized by these two antibodies are different and the one recognized by Ac88 is found in the part C-terminal of HSPs 90 kDa. More interestingly the addition of either Ac232-266 or peptide 232-266 to untransformed glucocorticoid receptor complexes affected steroid binding and/or physicochemical properties of the complexes. In the presence of Ac232-266 a time and antibody concentration dependent loss of steroid binding activity occurred. The same effect was observed in the presence of peptide 232-266 which was also able to induce a dissociation of the transformed from of the receptor to the DNA binding from. This effect was observed at 0-4°C and in the presence of the 10 mM molybdate. All these data strongly offred that the region extending from aminoacids 232 to 266 is directly involved in the interaction between HSP 90 kDa and the glucocorticoid receptorDans le mĂ©canisme d’action des hormones glucocorticoĂŻdes, il est admis que la transformation (ou activation) du complexe hormone glucocorticoĂŻde-rĂ©cepteur est concomitante Ă  une conversion de ce dernier d’une forme non transformĂ©e, de haut poids molĂ©culaire et incapable de se lier Ă  l’DN, Ă  la forme transformĂ©e de petit poids molĂ©culaire liant l’ADN. Le rĂ©cepteur non transformĂ©e possĂšde une structure hĂ©tĂ©rooligomĂ©trique. Il comprend en plus de la sous-unitĂ© protĂ©ique liant l’hormone d’autres facteurs protĂ©iques non liants, identifiĂ©s comme Ă©tant des protĂ©ines de choc thermique (HSP). Parmi celles-ci la plus constamment retrouvĂ©e est la protĂ©ine HSP 90 kDa dont l’association avec le rĂ©cepteur non transformĂ© a Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© mise en Ă©vidence dans les cellules intactes. L’HSP 90 kDa semble jouer un rĂŽle chaperon en stabilisant le rĂ©cepteur sous une forme capable de lier l’hormone, mais inactive sur le plan transcriptionnel. La fixation de l’hormone provoque la dissociation du complexe et l’activation du rĂ©cepteur. Les rĂ©gions de l’HSP 90 kDa interagissant avec le rĂ©cepteur sont trĂšs mal connues. Pour aborder l’étude de ce problĂšme, il nous fallait disposer de la protĂ©ine HSP 90 kDa Ă  l’état pur. Nous avons mis au point un protocole de purification, rapide et simple, de cette protĂ©ine qui nous a permis sa caractĂ©risation physicochimique et biochimique. Ensuite, nous avons produit un anticorps polyclonal (Ac232-266) dirigĂ© contre un peptide de synthĂšse de 35 acides aminĂ©s, choisi dans la partie N-terminal HSP 90 kDa entiĂšre de souris, Ă  la fois dĂ©naturĂ©e ou isolĂ©e sous ses diffĂ©rentes isoformes et possĂšde une rĂ©activitĂ© interespĂšces. Contrairement Ă  l’anticorps monoclonal (Ac88), dirigĂ© contre un Ă©pitope non identifiĂ© mais commun Ă  toutes les HSP 90 kDa eucaryotes, l’Ac232-266 reconnaĂźt la protĂ©ine HSP 90 kDa libre, mais pas celle liĂ©e au rĂ©cepteur. Nous montrons que ces anticorps reconnaissent deux Ă©pitopes diffĂ©rents et que celui reconnu par l’Ac88 serait situĂ© dans la partie C-terminal des HSPs 90 kDa. De plus, le rĂ©cepteur non transformĂ© incubĂ© en prĂ©sence de l’Ac232-266 perd sa capacitĂ© de liaisons Ă  l’hormone. Cette perte de liaison au stĂ©roĂŻde du rĂ©cepteur est aussi observĂ© en prĂ©sence du peptide 232-266 qui se rĂ©vĂšle en outre capable de convertir le rĂ©cepteur non transformĂ© en une forme de petit poids molĂ©culaire capable de se lier Ă  l’ADN. Ces rĂ©sultats suggĂšrent que la rĂ©gion peptidique 232-266 est directement impliquĂ©e dans l’interaction de l’HSP 90 kDa avec le rĂ©cepteur des glucocorticoĂŻdesThĂšse de doctorat en sciences biomĂ©dicales (biochimie) -- UCL, 199

    Characterization of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (HSP90)-associated ATP/GTPase

    The 90 kDa heat shock protein (HSP90) is an ATP-binding molecular chaperone with an associated ATPase activity having nucleoplasmin and HSP70-binding homology domains and containing Ca-binding EF-hands and a nuclear localization signal. Here we characterize the HSP90-associated ATPase and show that it is (i) a P-type ATPase inhibited by molybdate and vanadate, (ii) able to hydrolyze methylfluorescein phosphate with a 5–6-fold higher affinity, (iii) a 3-times better GTPase than ATPase in the presence of calcium and (iv) HSP27 and F-actin, but not HSP10 can “convert” the HSP90-associated ATPase activity to HSP90 autokinase activity. The HSP90-associated ATP/GTPase may participate in the regulation of complex formation of HSP90 with other proteins, such as F-actin, tubulin and heat shock proteins
