Abstract

Interactions between Hsp90, its co-chaperone Cdc37 and kinases have been biochemically studied for over three decades and have been shown to be functionally important in organisms from yeast to humans. However, formation of a stable complex for structural studies has been elusive. In this protocol we describe expression and purification of Hsp90-Cdc37-Cdk4 kinase protein complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae utilizing the viral 2A sequences to titrate the three proteins at similar levels.

Keywords: Hsp90 (HSP90) search Cdc37 (Cdc37) search Cdk4 (Cdk4) search Chaperone (伴侣) search Kinase (激酶) search 2A peptides (2A肽) search Yeast protein expression (酵母蛋白表达) search

Background

Robustly forming complexes between Hsp90 molecular chaperone and its client kinases has proven to be refractory in vitro. Previous work indicated that overexpression of Hsp90’s co-chaperone Cdc37 together with a client kinase in insect Sf9 cells led to a stable complex between Sf9 Hsp90, exogenous Cdc37 and exogenous kinase (Vaughan et al., 2006). However, insect cell culture requires special equipment, is more difficult to genetically manipulate and is significantly slower to both grow and clone into than other well studied expression systems, like bacteria and yeast. Co-expression of the above proteins in E. coli did not yield soluble kinase/stable complex. We reasoned that Saccharomyces cerevisiae would possess the necessary machinery to help fold and facilitate the complex formation and sought to generate the complex between human Hsp90 beta, human Cdc37 and human Cdk4 kinase by co-expressing these proteins in S. cerevisiae. To attain stoichiometric expression of the three proteins, we utilized viral 2A peptides, which allowed transcription of the three proteins on one mRNA with subsequent cleaving at the translation stage. This system has been utilized in human cell lines and in rabbit reticulolysates (Kim et al., 2011; Minskaia and Ryan, 2013), but to our knowledge this is the first utilization of 2A viral expression peptides in S. cerevisiae.
