Yeast heat shock protein 104 (Hsp104), the only known eukaryotic disaggregase, remodels both disordered protein aggregates and cross-β sheet amyloids. To handle this diverse clientele, DeSantis et al. report that Hsp104 hexamers use distinct mechanisms-individual subunits are able to dissolve disordered aggregates, but global subunit cooperativity is required to untangle amyloids.

Protein aggregation plays key roles in age-related degenerative diseases, but how different proteins coalesce to form inclusions that vary in composition, morphology, molecular dynamics and confer physiological consequences is poorly understood. Here we employ a general reporter based on mutant Hsp104 to identify proteins forming aggregates in human cells under common proteotoxic stress. We identify over 300 proteins that form different inclusions containing subsets of aggregating proteins.

Article Synopsis
- Molecular chaperones help proteins that have clumped together to come apart, but we don’t know exactly how they do this.
- Hsp104 is a special protein that works with others to break down stress granules and harmful clumps in yeast.
- Researchers discovered that changes in a specific part of Hsp104 can stop it from breaking down stress granules, but it still helps with other types of protein clumps, even if the resulting proteins don't work as well.

Patients with the fatal disorder Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR) experience polyneuropathy through the progressive destruction of peripheral nervous tissue. In these patients, the transthyretin (TTR) protein dissociates from its functional tetrameric structure, misfolds, and aggregates into extracellular amyloid deposits that are associated with disease progression. These aggregates form large fibrillar structures as well as shorter oligomeric aggregates that are suspected to be cytotoxic.

Heat shock protein 104 (Hsp104) protein disaggregases are powerful molecular machines that harness the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to disaggregate a wide range of protein aggregates and amyloids, as well as to assist in yeast prion propagation. Little is known, however, about how Hsp104 chaperones recognize such a diversity of substrates, or indeed the contribution of the substrate-binding N-terminal domain (NTD) to Hsp104 function. Herein, we present a NMR spectroscopy study, which structurally characterizes the Hsp104 NTD-substrate interaction.

α-Synuclein (α-Syn) forms pathological amyloid aggregates deposited in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites in the brain of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are the major components of the cellular chaperone network, which are responsible for preventing proteins from amyloid aggregation. Different Hsps were reported to interact with α-syn.
