Abstract
Yeast are an ideal system to study Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70) function in a cellular context. This protocol was generated to analyze the function of non-native Hsp70 proteins by expressing them as the sole cytosolic Hsp70 in yeast. As an initial step, Hsp70 variants (such as Ssa1 point mutants and non-yeast versions such as Nematostella vectensis NvHsp70A, B and D) are cloned into an appropriate expression plasmid. Next, these plasmids are transformed into ssa1-4∆ yeast [expressing native Ssa1 from an uracil-based (URA3) plasmid] which are subsequently cured of the original yeast on 5-Fluroorotic Acid (5-FOA). The resulting cells can be screened for a variety of phenotypes which match to the activity of well-studied cellular pathways.
Keywords: Hsp70 (Hsp70)Background
cHsp70 is a molecular chaperone that plays a role in protein folding of newly synthesized and misfolded proteins (Rosenzweig et al., 2019). It also controls the activity of regulatory proteins that contribute to cell cycle progression, protein degradation, apoptosis and resistance to anticancer therapeutics. Hsp70 is highly conserved throughout nature and is essential for cell viability. Organisms can express several highly similar Hsp70 isoforms. For example, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae expresses 4 cytosolic isoforms, Ssa1-4 (Lotz et al., 2019). In order to characterize Hsp70 function, we can express different Hsp70 isoforms, paralogs, point mutations and truncations as the sole cytosolic Hsp70 protein in S. cerevisiae using a 5-FOA plasmid swap strategy (Boeke et al.,1987).
We were recently able to use this methodology to express Nematostella vectensis Hsp70 isoforms (NvHsp70A, B and D) in yeast and asses their functionality through phenotypic screens, growth assays and analysis of interaction partners (Waller et al., 2018; Knighton et al., 2019). These results contribute to a better understanding of Hsp70 isoform function and the potential basis of local adaptation in populations of N. vectensis.
