Stress-inducible heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) interacts with superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2) in the cytosol after synthesis to transfer the enzyme to the mitochondria for subsequent activation. However, the structural basis for this interaction remains to be defined. To map the SOD2-binding site in hsp70, mutants of hsp70 were made and tested for their ability to bind SOD2. These studies showed that SOD2 binds in the amino acid 393-537 region of the chaperone. To map the hsp70-binding site in SOD2, we used a series of pulldown assays and showed that hsp70 binds to the amino-terminal domain of SOD2. To better define the binding site, we used a series of decoy peptides derived from the primary amino-acid sequence in the SOD2-binding site in hsp70. This study shows that SOD2 specifically binds to hsp70 at 445-GERAMT-450. Small peptides containing GERAMT inhibited the transfer of SOD2 to the mitochondria and decreased SOD2 activity in vitro and in vivo. To determine the amino acid residues in hsp70 that are critical for SOD2 interactions, we substituted each amino acid residue for alanine (A) or more conservative residues, glutamine (Q) or asparagine (N) in the GERAMT-binding site. Substitutions of E446> A/Q and R447>A/Q inhibited the ability of the GERAMT peptide to bind SOD2 and preserved SOD2 function, more than other substitutions. Together, these findings indicate that the GERAMT sequence is critical for hsp70- mediated regulation of SOD2 and that E446 and R447 cooperate with other amino acid residues in the GERAMT-binding site for proper chaperone-dependent regulation of SOD2 antioxidant function.
