Crystal structure of the zuotin homology domain (ZHD) from yeast Zuo1
Structural highlights
FunctionZUO1_YEAST Component of the ribosome-associated complex (RAC), a heterodimeric chaperone complex involved in regulation of accurate translation termination and in folding or maintaining nascent polypeptides in a folding-competent state. RAC stimulates the ATPase activity of the ribosome-associated pool of Hsp70-type chaperones SSB1/SSB2 that bind to the nascent polypeptide chain. ZUO1 can act as a J-protein for SSB1/SSB2 only when associated with SSZ1.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedRibosome-associated J protein-Hsp70 chaperones promote nascent-polypeptide folding and normal translational fidelity. The J protein Zuo1 is known to span the ribosomal subunits, but understanding of its function is limited. Here we present new structural and cross-linking data allowing more precise positioning of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Zuo1 near the 60S polypeptide-exit site and suggesting interactions of Zuo1 with the ribosomal protein eL31 and 25S rRNA helix 24. The junction between the 60S-interacting and subunit-spanning helices is a hinge that positions Zuo1 on the 40S yet accommodates subunit rotation. Interaction between the Zuo1 C terminus and 40S occurs via 18S rRNA expansion segment 12 (ES12) of helix 44, which originates at the decoding site. Deletions in either ES12 or the Zuo1 C terminus alter readthrough of stop codons and -1 frameshifting. Our study offers insight into how this cotranslational chaperone system may monitor decoding-site activity and nascent-polypeptide transit, thereby coordinating protein translation and folding.
