HUMAN HSP40 (HDJ-1), NMR

OverviewOverview
The J-domain is a highly conserved domain found in all members of the DnaJ, family of molecular chaperones. The three-dimensional structure of a, recombinant, uniformly 15N-labeled 77-residue polypeptide containing the, complete J-domain from human Hsp40 (HDJ-1) has been determined by nuclear, magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in solution. On the basis of 876, upper distance constraints derived from nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE), and 173 dihedral angle constraints, a group of 20 conformers representing, the solution structure of the HDJ-1 J-domain was computed with the program, DIANA and energy-minimized with the program OPAL. The average of the, pairwise root-mean-square deviations of the individual NMR conformers, relative to the mean coordinates for the backbone atoms N, C2 and C' of, residues 4 to 54 and 4 to to 66 is 0.88 and 0.99 A respectively. The, molecular architecture includes four helices composed of residues 5 to 9, 15 to 28, 40 to 54 and 60 to 66. A turn composed of residues 10 to 14, links helices I and II, and a loop composed of residues 29 to 39, containing a highly conserved tripeptide HPD (residues 31 to 33) connects, the antiparallel helices II and III. The tertiary fold formed by helix, I-turn-helix II-loop-helix III forms a closed structural core; the less, defined helix IV stands away from the core of the domain. The side-chains, of the tripeptide HPD extend out from the core of the structure in the, opposite direction from helix IV. The structure supports the hypothesis, that the highly conserved tripeptide could play a key role in the, interaction of Hsp40 with the molecular chaperone, Hsp70.
