The 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) is involved in providing the appropriate conformation of various nuclear hormone receptors, including the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The Bcl-2 associated athanogene 1M (Bag-1M) is known to downregulate the DNA binding by the GR. Also, Bag-1M interacts with the ATPase domain of Hsp70 to modulate the release of the substrate from Hsp70. In this study, we demonstrate that ATP hydrolysis enhances Bag-1M-mediated inhibition of the DNA binding by the GR. However, the inhibitory effect of Bag-1M was abolished when the intracellular ATP was depleted. In addition, a Bag-1M mutant lacking the interaction with Hsp70 did not influence the GR to bind DNA, suggesting the interaction of Bag-1M with Hsp70 in needed for its negative effect. These results indicate that ATP hydrolysis is essential for Bag-1M-mediated inhibition of the DNA binding by the GR and Hsp70 is a mediator for this process.
70千道尔顿热休克蛋白(Hsp70)参与为包括糖皮质激素受体(GR)在内的各种核激素受体提供合适的构象。已知Bcl-2相关抗凋亡基因1M(Bag-1M)可下调GR的DNA结合。此外,Bag-1M与Hsp70的ATP酶结构域相互作用,以调节底物从Hsp70的释放。在本研究中,我们证明ATP水解增强了Bag-1M介导的对GR与DNA结合的抑制作用。然而,当细胞内ATP耗尽时,Bag-1M的抑制作用被消除。此外,缺乏与Hsp70相互作用的Bag-1M突变体不影响GR与DNA的结合,这表明Bag-1M与Hsp70的相互作用是其产生负效应所必需的。这些结果表明,ATP水解对于Bag-1M介导的对GR与DNA结合的抑制作用至关重要,并且Hsp70是该过程的介质。
