Immunophilin protein with PPIase and co-chaperone activities (By similarity). Component of unligated steroid receptors heterocomplexes through interaction with heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90). May play a role in the intracellular trafficking of heterooligomeric forms of steroid hormone receptors between cytoplasm and nuclear compartments (By similarity). The isomerase activity controls neuronal growth cones via regulation of TRPC1 channel opening. Acts also as a regulator of microtubule dynamics by inhibiting MAPT/TAU ability to promote microtubule assembly. May have a protective role against oxidative stress in mitochondria.
Confocal microscopy images revealed that the tetratricopeptide repeat motif (TPR) domain immunophilin FKBP51 shows colocalization with the specific mitochondrial marker MitoTracker. Signal specificity was tested with different antibodies and by FKBP51 knockdown. This unexpected subcellular localization of FKBP51 was confirmed by colocalization studies with other mitochondrial proteins, biochemical fractionation, and electron microscopy imaging. Interestingly, FKBP51 forms complexes in mitochondria with the glucocorticoid receptor and the Hsp90/Hsp70-based chaperone heterocomplex. Although Hsp90 inhibitors favor FKBP51 translocation from mitochondria to the nucleus in a reversible manner, TPR domain-deficient mutants of FKBP51 are constitutively nuclear and fully excluded from mitochondria, suggesting that a functional TPR domain is required for its mitochondrial localization. FKBP51 overexpression protects cells against oxidative stress, whereas FKBP51 knockdown makes them more sensitive to injury. In summary, this is the first demonstration that FKBP51 is a major mitochondrial factor that undergoes nuclear-mitochondrial shuttling, an observation that may be related to antiapoptotic mechanisms triggered during the stress response.
Immunophilins, a family of proteins that exhibit rotamase (peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase) activity in vitro, are expressed in many organisms and most tissues. Although some immunophilins can mediate the immunosuppressive actions of FK506, rapamycin, and cyclosporin A, the physiological role of the unligated proteins is not known. A 59-kilodalton member of the FK506- and rapamycin-binding class was found to associate in the absence of these drugs with two heat shock proteins (hsp90 and hsp70) and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Together, these proteins make up the inactive GR, thus biochemically linking two families of proteins proposed to be involved in protein folding and assembly as well as two potent immunosuppressive modalities.

Using an FK506 affinity column to identify mammalian immunosuppressant-binding proteins, we identified an immunophilin with an apparent M(r) approximately 55,000, which we have named FKBP52. We used chemically determined peptide sequence and a computerized algorithm to search GenPept, the translated GenBank data base, and identified two cDNAs likely to encode the murine FKBP52 homolog. We amplified a murine cDNA fragment, used it to select a human FKBP52 (hFKBP52) cDNA clone, and then used the clone to deduce the hFKBP52 sequence (calculated M(r) 51,810) and to express hFKBP52 in Escherichia coli. Recombinant hFKBP52 has peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity that is inhibited by FK506 and rapamycin and an FKBP12-like consensus sequence that probably defines the immunosuppressant-binding site. FKBP52 is apparently common to several vertebrate species and associates with the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp90) in untransformed mammalian steroid receptor complexes. The putative immunosuppressant-binding site is probably distinct from the hsp90-binding site, and we predict that FKBP52 has different structural domains to accommodate these functions. hFKBP52 contains 12 protein kinase phosphorylation-site motifs and a potential calmodulin-binding site, implying that posttranslational phosphorylation could generate multiple isoforms of the protein and that calmodulin and intracellular Ca2+ levels could affect FKBP52 function. FKBP52 transcripts are present in a variety of human tissues and could vary in abundance and/or stability.
It has previously been shown that 9S, untransformed progestin, estrogen, androgen, and glucocorticoid receptor complexes in rabbit uterine and liver cytosols contain a 59-kDa protein [Tai, P. K., Maeda, Y., Nakao, K., Wakim, N. G., Duhring, J. L., & Faber, L. E. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 5269-5275]. In this work we show that the monoclonal antibody KN 382/EC1 raised against the rabbit 59-kDa protein reacts with 9S, untransformed glucocorticoid receptor complexes in cytosol prepared from human IM-9 lymphocytes but not with 4S salt-transformed receptors. The human protein recognized by the EC1 antibody is a 56-kDa protein (p56) of moderate abundance located predominantly in the cytoplasm by indirect immunofluorescence. There are at least six isomorphs of p56 by two-dimensional gel analysis. N-Terminal sequencing (20 amino acids) shows that p56 is a unique human protein. When p56 is immunoadsorbed from IM-9 cell cytosol, both the 70- and 90-kDa heat shock proteins are coadsorbed in an immune-specific manner. Neither heat shock protein reacts directly with the EC1 antibody. We conclude that p56 exists in cytosol in a higher order complex containing hsp70 and hsp90, both of which in turn have been found to be associated with untransformed steroid receptors.
Immunophilins, including FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), are protein chaperones with peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) activity. Initially identified as pharmacological receptors for immunosuppressants to regulate immune responses via isomerase-independent mechanisms, FKBPs are most highly expressed in the nervous system, where their physiological function as isomerases remains unknown. We demonstrate that FKBP12 and FKBP52 catalyze cis/trans isomerization of regions of TRPC1 implicated in controlling channel opening. FKBP52 mediates stimulus-dependent TRPC1 gating through isomerization, which is required for chemotropic turning of neuronal growth cones to netrin-1 and myelin-associated glycoprotein and for netrin-1/DCC-dependent midline axon guidance of commissural interneurons in the developing spinal cord. By contrast, FKBP12 mediates spontaneous opening of TRPC1 through isomerization and is not required for growth cone responses to netrin-1. Our study demonstrates a novel physiological function of proline isomerases in chemotropic nerve guidance through TRPC1 gating and may have significant implication in clinical applications of immunophilin-related therapeutic drugs.

The molecular chaperone hsp90 in the eukaryotic cytosol interacts with a variety of protein cofactors. Several of these cofactors have protein domains containing tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs, which mediate binding to hsp90. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, the 12-kDa C-terminal domain of human hsp90alpha (C90) was found to mediate the interaction of hsp90 with TPR-containing sequences from the hsp90 cofactors FKBP51/54 and FKBP52. In addition, the mitochondrial outer membrane protein hTOM34p was identified as a TPR-containing putative partner protein of hsp90. In experiments with purified proteins, the TPR-containing cofactor p60 (Hop) was shown to form stable complexes with hsp90. A deletion mutant of hsp90 lacking the C90 domain was unable to bind p60, whereas deletion of the approximately 25-kDa N-terminal domain of hsp90 did not affect complex formation. Both p60 and FKBP52 bound specifically to the C90 domain fused to glutathione S-transferase and competed with each other for binding. In reticulocyte lysate, the C90 fusion protein recognized the TPR proteins p60, FKBP52, and Cyp40. Thus, our results identify the C90 domain as the specific binding site for a set of hsp90 cofactors having TPR domains.
Large peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) are important components of the Hsp90 chaperone complex. In mammalian cells, either Cyp40, FKBP51 or FKBP52 is incorporated into these complexes. It has been suggested that members of this protein family exhibit both prolyl isomerase and chaperone activity. Here we define the structural and functional properties of the three mammalian large PPIases. We find that in all cases two PPIase monomers bind to an Hsp90 dimer. However, the affinities of the PPIases are different with FKBP52 exhibiting the strongest interaction and Cyp40 the weakest. Furthermore, in the mammalian system, in contrast to the yeast system, the catalytic activity of prolyl isomerization corresponds well to that of the respective small PPIases. Interestingly, Cyp40 and FKBP51 are the more potent chaperones. Thus, it seems that both the affinity for Hsp90 and the differences in their chaperone properties, which may reflect their interaction with the non-native protein in the Hsp90 complex, are critical for the selective incorporation of a specific large PPIase.

FAP48 was identified and cloned thanks to its interaction with FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) such as FKBP52 and FKBP12, which belong to the large family of immunophilins that bind the macrolide immunosuppressant drugs FK506 and rapamycin. We have previously shown that FAP48-FKBP complexes are dissociated by FK506 and rapamycin, suggesting that FAP48 is an endogenous ligand of FKBP. The present work describes the biochemical consequences of FAP48 overexpression, induced by the tetracycline analogue doxycycline, in an established cell line derived from Jurkat T cells. We report that overexpression of FAP48 results in the inhibition of cellular proliferation as does the exposure of Jurkat T cells to FK506. We also show that the expression levels of argininosuccinate synthetase and the Myc antagonist Mxi1 are modified by overexpression of FAP48, suggesting that these proteins could be good candidates to mediate the antiproliferative effect of FAP48. FAP48 affects neither the calcineurin-dependent nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)1 nor JNKp38-dependent pathways that mediate immunosuppression by FK506. However, contrary to FK506, which blocks IL2 synthesis, we observed that FAP48-FKBP complexes increase IL2 production, thus revealing a previously uncharacterized aspect of the immunosuppressive mechanism of FK506.

Protein which is transiently involved in the noncovalent folding, assembly and/or disassembly of other polypeptides or RNA molecules, including any transport and oligomerisation processes they may undergo, and the refolding and reassembly of protein and RNA molecules denatured by stress. Though involved in these processes, chaperones are not an integral part of these functioning molecules. Also used for metallochaperones, which function to provide a metal directly to target proteins while protecting this metal from scavengers.
Enzyme that catalyzes the 1,1-, 1,2- or 1,3-hydrogen shift. The 1,1- hydrogen shift is an inversion at an asymmetric carbon center (racemases, epimerases). The 1,2-hydrogen shift involved a hydrogen transfer between two adjacent carbon atoms, one undergoing oxidation, the other reduction (aldose-ketose isomerases). The 1,3-hydrogen shifts are allylic or azaallylic (when nitrogen is one of the three atoms) isomerizations.
