Chaperones, which assist protein folding are essential components of every living cell. The yeast ribosome-associated complex (RAC) is a chaperone that is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. The RAC consists of the J protein Zuo1 and the unconventional Hsp70 homolog Ssz1. The RAC heterodimer stimulates the ATPase activity of the ribosome-bound Hsp70 homolog Ssb, which interacts with nascent polypeptide chains to facilitate de novo protein folding. In addition, the RAC-Ssb system is required to maintain the fidelity of protein translation. Recent work reveals important details of the unique structures of RAC and Ssb and identifies how the chaperones interact with the ribosome. The new findings start to uncover how the exceptional chaperone triad cooperates in protein folding and maintenance of translational fidelity and its connection to extraribosomal functions.
伴侣蛋白是协助蛋白质折叠的重要组成部分,是每个活细胞的基本组件。酵母核糖体相关复合物(RAC)是伴侣蛋白,在真核细胞中高度保守。RAC 由 J 蛋白 Zuo1 和非典型的 Hsp70 同源物 Ssz1 组成。RAC 异二聚体刺激与新生多肽链相互作用以促进从头折叠的核糖体结合 Hsp70 同源物 Ssb 的 ATP 酶活性。此外,RAC-Ssb 系统对于维持蛋白质翻译的保真度是必需的。最近的工作揭示了 RAC 和 Ssb 独特结构的重要细节,并确定了伴侣蛋白如何与核糖体相互作用。新的发现开始揭示这个特殊的伴侣蛋白三聚体如何在蛋白质折叠和维持翻译保真度以及与核糖体外功能的连接中合作。
