Several structurally divergent proteins associate with molecular chaperones of the 70-kDa heat shock protein (hsp70) family and modulate their activities. We investigated the cofactors Hap46 and Hop/p60 and the effects of their binding to mammalian hsp70 and the cognate form hsc70. Hap46 associates with the amino-terminal ATP binding domain and stimulates ATP binding two- to threefold but inhibits binding of misfolded protein substrate to hsc70 and reactivation of thermally denatured luciferase in an hsc70-dependent refolding system. By contrast, Hop/p60 interacts with a portion of the carboxy-terminal domain of hsp70s, which is distinct from that involved in the binding of misfolded proteins. Thus, Hop/p60 and substrate proteins can form ternary complexes with hsc70. Hop/p60 exerts no effect on ATP and substrate binding but nevertheless interferes with protein refolding. Even though there is no direct interaction between these accessory proteins, Hap46 inhibits the binding of Hop/p60 to hsc70 but Hop/p60 does not inhibit the binding of Hap46 to hsc70. As judged from respective deletions, the amino-terminal portions of Hap46 and Hop/p60 are involved in this interference. These data suggest steric hindrance between Hap46 and Hop/p60 during interaction with distantly located binding sites on hsp70s. Thus, not only do the major domains of hsp70 chaperones communicate with each other, but cofactors interacting with these domains affect each other as well.
