    ClpB, a bacterial homologue of heat shock protein 104 (Hsp104), can disentangle aggregated proteins with the help of the DnaK, a bacterial Hsp70, and its co-factors. As a member of the expanded superfamily of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+), ClpB forms a hexameric ring structure, with each protomer containing two AAA+ modules, AAA1 and AAA2. A long coiled-coil middle domain (MD) is present in the C-terminal region of the AAA1 and surrounds the main body of the ring. The MD is subdivided into two oppositely directed short coiled-coils, called motif-1 and motif-2. The MD represses the ATPase activity of ClpB, and this repression is reversed by the binding of DnaK to motif-2. To better understand how the MD regulates ClpB activity, here we investigated the roles of motif-1 in ClpB from Thermus thermophilus (TClpB). Using systematic alanine substitution of the conserved charged residues, we identified functionally important residues in motif-1, and using a photoreactive cross-linker and LC-MS/MS analysis, we further explored potential interacting residues. Moreover, we constructed TClpB mutants in which functionally important residues in motif-1 and in other candidate regions were substituted by oppositely charged residues. These analyses revealed that the intra-subunit pair Glu-401-Arg-532 and the inter-subunit pair Asp-404-Arg-180 are functionally important, electrostatically interacting pairs. Considering these structural findings, we conclude that the Glu-401-Arg-532 interaction shifts the equilibrium of the MD conformation to stabilize the activated form and that the Arg-180-Asp-404 interaction contributes to intersubunit signal transduction, essential for ClpB chaperone activities.

    The ATP-dependent bacterial protein disaggregation machine, ClpB belonging to the AAA+ superfamily, refolds toxic protein aggregates into the native state in cooperation with the cognate Hsp70 partner. The ring-shaped hexamers of ClpB unfold and thread its protein substrate through the central pore. However, their function-related structural dynamics has remained elusive. Here we directly visualize ClpB using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to gain a mechanistic insight into its disaggregation function. The HS-AFM movies demonstrate massive conformational changes of the hexameric ring during ATP hydrolysis, from a round ring to a spiral and even to a pair of twisted half-spirals. HS-AFM observations of Walker-motif mutants unveil crucial roles of ATP binding and hydrolysis in the oligomer formation and structural dynamics. Furthermore, repressed and hyperactive mutations result in significantly different oligomeric forms. These results provide a comprehensive view for the ATP-driven oligomeric-state transitions that enable ClpB to disentangle protein aggregates.
