The Hsp104 N domain is bipartite and mediates both substrate binding and Hsp70 interaction. (a) Key residues involved in substrate binding are shown in red (Set-1), and those involved in Hsp70 interaction21 in blue (Set-2). (b,c) Set-1 and Set-2 mutants affect protein disaggregation differently. Disaggregase activities of Hsp104 and Hsp104 variants (Set-1 red; and Set-2 blue) in the presence of Hsp70/40. Recoveries of (b) FFL and (c) G6PDH activity expressed relative to the native bi-chaperone system. (d,e) Set-1T4L and Set-2T4L show substantial defects in protein disaggregation in a constitutively active background. (d) Impaired recovery of β-gal activity by Set-1T4L (red) and Set-2T4L (blue). (e) Hsp70/40 restores the protein disaggregation defect of Set-1T4L (red), but not of Set-2T4L (blue). Averages of three independent measurements ± SD are shown.
