FKBP51-Hsp90 Interaction-Deficient Mice Exhibit Altered Endocrine Stress Response and Sex Differences Under High-Fat Diet

FK506-binding protein 51 kDa (FKBP51), encoded by Fkbp5 gene, gained considerable attention as an important regulator of several aspects of human biology including stress response, metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and age-dependent neurodegeneration. Its catalytic peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) activity is mediated by the N-terminal FK506-binding (FK1) domain, whereas the C-terminal tetratricopeptide motif (TPR) domain is responsible for FKBP51 interaction with molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). To understand FKBP51-related biology, several mouse models have been created. These include Fkbp5 complete and conditional knockouts, overexpression, and humanized models. To dissect the role of FKBP51-Hsp90 interaction in FKBP51 biology, we have created an interaction-deficient mouse (Fkbp5TPRmut) by introducing two-point mutations in the TPR domain of FKBP51. FKBP51-Hsp90 interaction-deficient mice are viable, fertile and show Mendelian inheritance. Intracellular association of FKBP51 with Hsp90 is significantly reduced in homozygous mutants compared to wild-type animals. No behavioral differences between genotypes were seen at 2 months of age, however, sex-dependent differences were detected in Y-maze and fear conditioning tests at the age of 12 months. Moreover, we have found a significant reduction in plasma levels of corticosterone and adrenocorticotropic hormone in Fkbp5TPRmut mice after acute stress. In contrast to Fkbp5 knockout mice, females of Fkbp5TPRmut showed increased body weight gain under high-fat diet treatment. Our data confirm the importance of FKBP51-Hsp90 interactions for stress-related endocrine signaling. Also, Fkbp5TPRmut mice can serve as a useful in vivo tool to discriminate between Hsp90-dependent and independent functions of FKBP51.
