Co-chaperone FKBP38 Promotes HERG Trafficking

The Long QT Syndrome is a cardiac disorder associated with ventricular arrhythmias that can lead to syncope and sudden death. One prominent form of the Long QT syndrome has been linked to mutations in the HERG gene (KCNH2) that encodes the voltage-dependent delayed rectifier potassium channel (IKr). In order to search for HERG-interacting proteins important for HERG maturation and trafficking, we conducted a proteomics screen using myc-tagged HERG transfected into cardiac (HL-1) and non-cardiac (human embryonic kidney 293) cell lines. A partial list of putative HERG-interacting proteins includes several known components of the cytosolic chaperone system, including Hsc70 (70-kDa heat shock cognate protein), Hsp90 (90-kDa heat shock protein), Hdj-2, Hop (Hsp-organizing protein), and Bag-2 (BCL-associated athanogene 2). In addition, two membrane-integrated proteins were identified, calnexin and FKBP38 (38-kDa FK506-binding protein, FKBP8). We show that FKBP38 immunoprecipitates and co-localizes with HERG in our cellular system. Importantly, small interfering RNA knock down of FKBP38 causes a reduction of HERG trafficking, and overexpression of FKBP38 is able to partially rescue the LQT2 trafficking mutant F805C. We propose that FKBP38 is a co-chaperone of HERG and contributes via the Hsc70/Hsp90 chaperone system to the trafficking of wild type and mutant HERG potassium channels.

The Long QT Syndrome is a cardiac disorder characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on the surface electrocardiogram that has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias whose clinical features range from minor dizziness to seizure, syncope, and sudden death.

Cell. 1995; 80: 795-803Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (2002) Google Scholar) and has been linked to genetic mutations in the KCNH2 gene that encodes the HERG subunit. The HERG channel is a tetramer of HERG subunits that comprises the α-subunit of the voltage-dependent delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) (2Sanguinetti M.C. Jiang C. Curran M.E. Keating M.T. Cell. 1995; 81: 299-307Abstract Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (2161) Google Scholar). To date, more than 200 naturally occurring LQT2 mutants have been identified that result in either abnormal HERG channel function or a decrease in cell surface localization. Approximately 13% of these HERG mutations are characterized as trafficking-deficient mutants and represent the most dominant mechanism for the loss of HERG function in LQT2 (3Anderson C.L. Delisle B.P. Anson B.D. Kilby J.A. Will M.L. Tester D.J. Gong Q. Zhou Z. Ackerman M.J. January C.T. Circulation. 2006; 113: 365-373Crossref PubMed Scopus (337) Google Scholar). HERG trafficking mutants represent a potential target for pharmacological intervention as roughly 70% can be rescued, suggesting that the folding defects might be subtle (3Anderson C.L. Delisle B.P. Anson B.D. Kilby J.A. Will M.L. Tester D.J. Gong Q. Zhou Z. Ackerman M.J. January C.T. Circulation. 2006; 113: 365-373Crossref PubMed Scopus (337) Google Scholar). Under physiological conditions wild type (WT) HERG exhibits two bands on Western blot analysis, with the generation of both bands involving asparagine (Asn)-linked glycosylation (4Zhou Z. Gong Q. Ye B. Fan Z. Makielski J.C. Robertson G.A. January C.T. Biophys. J. 1998; 74: 230-241Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (632) Google Scholar). The core-glycosylated, immature form is represented by a 135-kDa band and is present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), whereas the fully glycosylated mature protein is observable as a 155-kDa band and represents HERG either in the Golgi apparatus or at the cell surface (5Petrecca K. Atanasiu R. Akhavan A. Shrier A. J. Physiol. 1999; 515 (, Pt. 1,): 41-48Crossref PubMed Scopus (127) Google Scholar, 6Gong Q. Anderson C.L. January C.T. Zhou Z. Am. J. Physiol. 2002; 283 (-H84): H77Crossref PubMed Scopus (20) Google Scholar). Comparison of the intensity of these two bands provides a useful assay of HERG trafficking. The prevailing view is that mutants with trafficking deficiencies are recognized and retained as misfolded proteins by the quality control machinery of the ER (7Ellgaard L. Helenius A. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003; 4: 181-191Crossref PubMed Scopus (1681) Google Scholar). Recently, it has been reported that HERG forms complexes with the molecular chaperones Hsc70 (70-kDa heat shock cognate protein), Hsp90 (90-kDa heat shock protein) (8Ficker E. Dennis A.T. Wang L. Brown A.M. Circ. Res. 2003; 92 (-e100): e87Crossref PubMed Google Scholar), and calnexin (9Gong Q. Jones M.A. Zhou Z. J. Biol. Chem. 2006; 281: 4069-4074Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (69) Google Scholar), which are known to be important for polypeptide folding, sorting, transport, and degradation (10McClellan A.J. Tam S. Kaganovich D. Frydman J. Nat. Cell Biol. 2005; 7: 736-741Crossref PubMed Scopus (228) Google Scholar, 11Young J.C. Agashe V.R. Siegers K. Hartl F.U. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2004; 5: 781-791Crossref PubMed Scopus (944) Google Scholar). Ficker et al. (8Ficker E. Dennis A.T. Wang L. Brown A.M. Circ. Res. 2003; 92 (-e100): e87Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) demonstrated that two LQT2-trafficking mutants, R752W and G601S, also interacted with Hsc70 and Hsp90 when retained in the ER and these interactions were prolonged relative to WT HERG. The recovery of channel trafficking and function by temperature reduction or pharmacological stabilization was tightly coupled to the dissociation of channel-chaperone complexes (8Ficker E. Dennis A.T. Wang L. Brown A.M. Circ. Res. 2003; 92 (-e100): e87Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). This finding suggests that the Hsc70 and Hsp90 chaperone system is important for the folding of HERG and that regulation of exit from the ER is mechanistically linked to the dissociation of HERG from this complex. The Hsc70/Hsp90 network has been characterized more extensively for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) (12Wang X. Venable J. LaPointe P. Hutt D.M. Koulov A.V. Coppinger J.

However, little is known about the protein complexes that form between HERG and molecular chaperones to facilitate HERG folding, maturation, and retention. To identify additional possible HERG-interacting chaperones we conducted a proteomic analysis. This revealed several known cytosolic chaperones, including Hsc70, Hsp90, Hdj-2, Hsp-organizing protein (Hop), and Bag-2 as well as two transmembrane proteins that included calnexin and FKBP38 (38-kDa FK506-binding protein, FKBP8). FKBP38 is of particular interest in that it is almost entirely exposed to the cytosol and is related to the known tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain co-chaperone FKBP52 (23Peattie D.A. Harding M.W. Fleming M.A. DeCenzo M.T. Lippke J.A. Livingston D.J. Benasutti M. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.
