Résumé
The small heat shock proteins function as molecular chaperones, an activity often requiring reversible oligomerization and which protects against irreversible protein denaturation. An abundantly produced small heat shock protein termed p26 is thought to contribute to the remarkable stress resistance exhibited by encysted embryos of the crustacean, Artemia franciscana. Three novel sequence motifs termed G, R and TS were individually deleted from p26 by site-directed mutagenesis. G encompasses residues G8-G29, a glycine-enriched region, and R includes residues R36-R45, an arginine-enhanced sequence, both in the amino terminus. TS, composed of residues T169-T186, resides in the carboxy-extension and is augmented in threonine and serine. Deletion of R had more influence than removal of G on p26 oligomerization and chaperoning, the latter determined by thermotolerance induction in Escherichia coli, protection of insulin and citrate synthase from dithiothreitol- and heat-induced aggregation, respectively, and preservation of citrate synthase activity upon heating. Oligomerization of the TS and R variants was similar, but the TS deletion was slightly more effective than R as a chaperone. The extent of p26 structural perturbation introduced by internal deletions, including modification of intrinsic fluorescence, 1-anilino-8-naphthalene-sulphonate binding and secondary structure, paralleled reductions in oligomerization and chaperoning. Three-dimensional modeling of p26 based on wheat Hsp16.9 crystal structure indicated many similarities between the two proteins, including peptide loops associated with secondary structure elements. Loop 1 of p26 was deleted in the G variant with minimal effect on oligomerization and chaperoning, whereas loop 3, containing beta-strand 6 was smaller than the corresponding loop in Hsp16.9, which may influence p26 function.
