摘要
Chaperone proteins are essential in all living cells to ensure protein homeostasis. Hsp90 is a major adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent chaperone highly conserved from bacteria to eukaryotes. Recent studies have shown that bacterial Hsp90 is essential in some bacteria in stress conditions and that it participates in the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. In vitro, bacterial Hsp90 directly interacts and collaborates with the Hsp70 chaperone DnaK to reactivate model substrate proteins; however, it is still unknown whether this collaboration is relevant in vivo with physiological substrates. Here, we used site-directed mutagenesis on Hsp90 to impair DnaK binding, thereby uncoupling the chaperone activities. We tested the mutants in vivo in two bacterial models in which Hsp90 has known physiological functions. We found that the Hsp90 point mutants were defective to support (1) growth under heat stress and activation of an essential Hsp90 client in the aquatic bacterium and (2) biosynthesis of the colibactin toxin involved in the virulence of pathogenic . Our study therefore demonstrates the essentiality of the direct collaboration between Hsp90 and DnaK in vivo in bacteria to support client folding. It also suggests that this collaboration already functional in bacteria has served as an evolutionary basis for a more complex Hsp70-Hsp90 collaboration found in eukaryotes.
