Yeast Pdr13p and Zuo1p molecular chaperones are new functional Hsp70 and Hsp40 partners.
The deletion of the TOM1 gene encoding a putative ubiquitin ligase causes a temperature sensitive cellular growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The arrested cells exhibit pleiotropic defects in nuclear division, maintenance of nuclear structure and heat stress responses. We previously identified a zuo1 mutation as an extragenic suppressor of the tom1 mutant. ZUO1 encodes a DnaJ-related Hsp40. Here we show that a recessive cold sensitive mutation in PDR13 coding for an Hsp70 suppressed the tom1 mutation. The pdr13 deletion mutant was sensitive to high osmolarity, just like the zuo1 deletion mutant. A zuo1 pdr13 double deletion mutant did not show additive phenotypes. Furthermore, a tagged-Zuo1p was co-immunoprecipitated with a tagged-Pdr13p. Taken together, we propose that Pdr13p and Zuo1p are a new pair of Hsp70:Hsp40 molecular chaperones. In addition, Pdr13p co-sedimented with translating ribosomes and this association was independent of the presence of Zuo1p.
