Abstract


The cytoplasmic [PSI+] element of budding yeast represents the prion conformation of translation release factor eRF-3 (Sup35). Prions are transmissible agents caused by self-seeded highly ordered aggregates (amyloids). Much interest lies in understanding how prions are developed and transmitted. However, the cellular mechanism involved in the prion clearance is unknown. Recently we have reported that excess misfolded multi-transmembrane protein, Dip5ΔC-v82, eliminates yeast prion [PSI+]. In this study, we showed that the prion loss was caused by enlargement of prion amyloids, unsuitable for transmission, and its efficiency was affected by the cellular balance between the chaperone Hsp70-Ssa1 and Sgt2, a small cochaperone known as a regulator of chaperone targeting to different types of aggregation-prone proteins. The present findings suggest that Sgt2 is titrated by excess Dip5ΔC-v82, and the shortage of Sgt2 led to non-productive binding of Ssa1 on [PSI+] amyloids. Clearance of prion [PSI+] by the imbalance between Ssa1 and Sgt2 might provide a novel array to regulate the release factor function in yeast.
