Ssq1, a Mitochondrial Hsp70 Involved in Iron-Sulfur (Fe/S) Center Biogenesis

The results of in vivo and in organellar experiments indicate that the Hsp70 Ssq1 and the J-protein Jac1 function together to assist in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur (Fe/S) centers in the mitochondrial matrix. Here we present biochemical evidence supporting this idea. Isu, the proposed scaffold on which Fe/S centers are assembled, is a substrate for both Jac1 and Ssq1. Jac1 and Isu1 cooperatively stimulate the ATPase activity of Ssq1. In addition, Jac1 facilitates the interaction of Ssq1 with Isu1 in the presence of ATP. These findings are consistent with the role in Fe/S biogenesis previously proposed for the bacterial Hsp70 Hsc66 and J-protein Hsc20 that interact with the bacterial Isu homologue IscU. However, unlike the bacterial Hsp70, we found that Ssq1 has a high affinity for nucleotide, and shares a nucleotide exchange factor, Mge1, with a second mitochondrial Hsp70, Ssc1. Thus, whereas the bacterial and mitochondrial chaperone systems share critical features, they possess significant biochemical differences as well.
