Abstract
- For maintenance of cytoplasmic protein quality control (PQC), cytoplasmic heat shock proteins (HSPs) negatively control heat shock transcriptional factor (HSF) in a negative feedback loop. However, how mitochondrial protein quality control (mtPQC) is maintained is largely unknown. Here we present evidence that HSF directly monitors mtPQC in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mitochondrial HSP70 (Ssc1) negatively regulated HSF activity. Importantly, HSF was localized not only in the nucleus but also on mitochondria. The mitochondrial localization of HSF was increased by heat shock and compromised by SSC1 overexpression. Furthermore, the mitochondrial protein translocation system downregulated HSF activity. Finally, mtPQC modulated the mtHSP genes SSC1 and MDJ1 via HSF, and SSC1 overexpression compromised mitochondrial function. These findings illustrate a model in which HSF directly monitors mtPQC.
