Modulation of cellular thermoresistance and actin filament stability accompanies phosphorylation-induced changes in the oligomeric structure of heat shock protein 27

Phosphorylation of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) can modulate actin filament dynamics in response to growth factors. During heat shock, HSP27 is phosphorylated at the same sites and by the same protein kinase as during mitogenic stimulation. This suggests that the same function of the protein may be activated during growth factor stimulation and the stress response. To determine the role of HSP27 phosphorylation in the heat shock response, several stable Chinese hamster cell lines that constitutively express various levels of the wild-type HSP27 (HU27 cells) or a nonphosphorylatable form of human HSP27 (HU27pm3 cells) were developed. In contrast to HU27 cells, which showed increased survival after heat shock, HU27pm3 cells showed only slightly enhanced survival. Evidence is presented that stabilization of microfilaments is a major target of the protective function of HSP27. In the HU27pm3 cells, the microfilaments were thermosensitized compared with those in the control cells, whereas wild-type HSP27 caused an increased stability of these structures in HU27 cells. HU27 but not HU27pm3 cells were highly resistant to cytochalasin D treatment compared with control cells. Moreover, in cells treated with cytochalasin D, wild-type HSP27 but not the phosphorylated form of HSP27 accelerated the reappearance of actin filaments. The mutations in human HSP27 had no effect on heat shock-induced change in solubility and cellular localization of the protein, indicating that phosphorylation was not involved in these processes. However, induction of HSP27 phosphorylation by stressing agents or mitogens caused a reduction in the multimeric size of the wild-type protein, an effect which was not observed with the mutant protein. We propose that early during stress, phosphorylation-induced conformational changes in the HSP27 oligomers regulate the activity of the protein at the level of microfilament dynamics, resulting in both enhanced stability and accelerated recovery of the filaments. The level of protection provided by HSP27 during heat shock may thus represent the contribution of better maintenance of actin filament integrity to overall cell survival.
