Control of the DnaK chaperone cycle by substoichiometric concentrations of the co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE

The polypeptide binding and release cycle of the molecular chaperone DnaK (Hsp70) of Escherichia coli is regulated by the two co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE. Here, we show that the DnaJ-triggered conversion of DnaK.ATP (T state) to DnaK.ADP.Pi (R state), as monitored by intrinsic protein fluorescence, is monophasic and occurs simultaneously with ATP hydrolysis. This is in contrast with the T-->R conversion in the absence of DnaJ which is biphasic, the first phase occurring simultaneously with the hydrolysis of ATP (Theyssen, H., Schuster, H.-P., Packschies, L., Bukau, B., and Reinstein, J. (1996) J. Mol. Biol. 263, 657-670). Apparently, DnaJ not only stimulates ATP hydrolysis but also couples it with conformational changes of DnaK. In the absence of GrpE, DnaJ forms a tight ternary complex with peptide.DnaK.ADP.Pi (Kd = 0.14 microM). However, by monitoring complex formation between DnaK (1 microM) and a fluorophore-labeled peptide in the presence of ATP (1 mM), DnaJ (1 microM), and varying concentrations of the ADP/ATP exchange factor GrpE (0.1-3 microM), substoichiometric concentrations of GrpE were found to shift the equilibrium from the slowly binding and releasing, high-affinity R state of DnaK completely to the fast binding and releasing, low-affinity T state and thus to prevent the formation of a long lived ternary DnaJ. substrate.DnaK.ADP.Pi complex. Under in vivo conditions with an estimated chaperone ratio of DnaK:DnaJ:GrpE = 10:1:3, both DnaJ and GrpE appear to control the chaperone cycle by transient interactions with DnaK.
