Crystal structure of GrpE from Thermus thermophilus HB8

Structural highlights

3a6m is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Thet8. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
Gene:	TTHA1490 (THET8)
Resources:	FirstGlance, OCA, RCSB, PDBsum

Function

[GRPE_THET8] Participates actively in the response to hyperosmotic and heat shock by preventing the aggregation of stress-denatured proteins, in association with DnaK and GrpE. It is the nucleotide exchange factor for DnaK and may function as a thermosensor. Unfolded proteins bind initially to DnaJ; upon interaction with the DnaJ-bound protein, DnaK hydrolyzes its bound ATP, resulting in the formation of a stable complex. GrpE releases ADP from DnaK; ATP binding to DnaK triggers the release of the substrate protein, thus completing the reaction cycle. Several rounds of ATP-dependent interactions between DnaJ, DnaK and GrpE are required for fully efficient folding (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

A homodimeric GrpE protein functions as a nucleotide exchange factor of the eubacterium DnaK molecular chaperone system. The co-chaperone GrpE accelerates ADP dissociation from, and promotes ATP binding to, DnaK, which cooperatively facilitates the DnaK chaperone cycle with another co-chaperone, DnaJ. GrpE characteristically undergoes two-step conformational changes in response to elevation of the environmental temperature. In the first transition at heat-shock temperatures, a fully reversible and functionally deficient structural alteration takes place in GrpE, and then the higher temperatures lead to the irreversible dissociation of the GrpE dimer into monomers as the second transition. GrpE is also thought to be a thermosensor of the DnaK system, since it is the only member of the DnaK system that changes its structure reversibly and loses its function at heat-shock temperatures of various organisms. We here report the crystal structure of GrpE from Thermus thermophilus HB8 (GrpE(Tth)) at 3.23 A resolution. The resolved structure is compared with that of GrpE from mesophilic Escherichia coli (GrpE(Eco)), revealing structural similarities, particularly in the DnaK interaction regions, and structural characteristics for the thermal stability of GrpE(Tth). In addition, the structure analysis raised the possibility that the polypeptide chain in the reported GrpE(Eco) structure was misinterpreted. Comparison of these two GrpE structures combined with the results of limited proteolysis experiments provides insight into the protein dynamics of GrpE(Tth) correlated with the shift of temperature, and also suggests that the localized and partial unfolding at the plausible DnaK interaction sites of GrpE(Tth) causes functional deficiency of nucleotide exchange factor in response to the heat shock.
