A quantitative chaperone interaction network for exploring the wiring of cellular protein folding pathways

Abstract:
  Chaperones are abundant cellular proteins that promote the folding and function of their substrate proteins, or clients. In vivo, chaperones also associate with a large and diverse set of co-chaperones that regulate their specificity and function. However, how these co-chaperones regulate protein folding and whether they have Hsp90- or Hsp70-independent biological functions is still poorly understood for most co-chaperones and substrates. Here, we combine mass spectrometry and a quantitative high-throughput LUMIER assay to explore the chaperone/ cochaperone/ client interaction network in human cells. We uncover hundreds of novel chaperone clients and characterize their integration into specific co-chaperone complexes. As a salient example of the power of such analysis, we show that convergent evolution of β-propeller folds has co-occurred with divergent evolution of β-propeller-specific NUDC family co-chaperones, suggesting that the evolution of these abundant protein folds has been facilitated by specialized co-chaperones. We provide a comprehensive framework for understanding how the proteostasis network is regulated and a resource for exploring how it changes in development and disease.
