Extracts proteins from aggregates by unfolding and threading them in an ATP-dependent process through the axial channel of the protein hexamer, after which they can be refolded by components of the Hsp70/Hsp40 chaperone system. Substrate binding is ATP-dependent, and release of bound polypeptide is triggered by ATP hydrolysis. Also responsible for the maintenance of prions by dissociating prion fibrils into smaller oligomers, thereby producing transmissible seeds that can infect daughter cells during mitosis and meiosis. Loss of HSP104 can cure yeast cells of the prions [PSI+], [URE3] and [PIN+]. Excess HSP104 can also specifically cure cells of [PSI+]. Publication Abstract from PubMed Hsp104 is a yeast member of the Hsp100 family which functions as a molecular chaperone to disaggregate misfolded polypeptides. To understand the mechanism by which the Hsp104 N-terminal domain (NTD) interacts with its peptide substrates, crystal structures of the Hsp104 NTDs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScHsp104NTD) and Candida albicans (CaHsp104NTD) have been determined at high resolution. The structures of ScHsp104NTD and CaHsp104NTD reveal that the yeast Hsp104 NTD may utilize a conserved putative peptide-binding groove to interact with misfolded polypeptides. In the crystal structures ScHsp104NTD forms a homodimer, while CaHsp104NTD exists as a monomer. The consecutive residues Gln105, Gln106 and Lys107, and Lys141 around the putative peptide-binding groove mediate the monomer-monomer interactions within the ScHsp104NTD homodimer. Dimer formation by ScHsp104NTD suggests that the Hsp104 NTD may specifically interact with polyQ regions of prion-prone proteins. The data may reveal the mechanism by which Hsp104 NTD functions to suppress and/or dissolve prions. Crystal structures of Hsp104 N-terminal domains from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans suggest the mechanism for the function of Hsp104 in dissolving prions.,Wang P, Li J, Weaver C, Lucius A, Sha B Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol. 2017 Apr 1;73(Pt 4):365-372. doi:, 10.1107/S2059798317002662.
