Introduction

Myosins are actin-based motors that play essential roles in a variety of cellular processes, including cytokinesis, cellular trafficking, phagocytosis, maintenance of cell shape, and muscle contraction (Berg et al., 2001). Myosin-based movement results from a precise cycle of the myosin head binding and releasing ATP and actin. During this process, the myosin head transitions through multiple folding conformations.

Molecular chaperones appear necessary for de novo folding and structural maintenance of the myosin head. Expression of the myosin motor domain in bacteria results in misfolding (McNally et al., 1988). In vertebrate systems, the chaperonin containing TCP-1 (CCT), as well as molecular chaperones Hsp90 and Hsc70, are necessary but not sufficient in the folding of striated muscle myosin (Srikakulam and Winkelmann, 1999; Srikakulam and Winkelmann, 2004).

Evidence from a variety of experimental systems indicates that myosins use specialized chaperones during their activity, folding, and assembly. Mutations in UNC-45/Cro1p/She4p(Dim1p) domain (UCS) proteins lead to phenotypes related to defects in myosin folding and assembly (Hutagalung et al., 2002). Decreased UCS domain protein function in fungal mutants produces myosins defective in actin:ATP transduction (Wesche et al., 2003; Lord and Pollard, 2004). In Caenorhabditis elegans, null unc-45 alleles lead to embryonic arrest of body wall muscle development (Venolia and Waterston, 1990), and temperature-sensitive mutations lead to a paralyzed or uncoordinated phenotype at the restrictive temperature with marked disorganization of myofibrils (Epstein and Thomson, 1974; Barral et al., 1998). In vitro, UNC-45 exerts chaperone activity on the myosin head and acts as a cochaperone that specifically binds Hsp90 (Barral et al., 2002).8 L" w3 g$ s; d0 l( |

UNC-45 has recently been shown to be a substrate of an E3/E4-multiubiquitination complex containing CHN-1 (the C. elegans homologue of CHIP) and UFD-2 (Hoppe et al., 2004). chn-1–null worms are viable and morphologically normal. However, UNC-45 overexpression leads to an uncoordinated phenotype in these worms, suggesting that increased levels of UNC-45 may cause muscle defects. Previous studies have shown that unassembled components of myofibrils are degraded through the ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS) in muscle wasting conditions, including cancer and starvation (Koohmaraie, 1992; Solomon and Goldberg, 1996; Solomon et al., 1998; Acharyya et al., 2004). Our results suggest that enhanced levels of UNC-45 may promote nonnative myosin conformations, rendering them susceptible to degradation by the UPS.% C5 q/ W' w; ]/ ?8 D9 k! h

Wild-type levels of UNC-45 are critical for proper myofibril assembly

Loss-of-function (Lof) temperature-sensitive UNC-45 mutations result in severely paralyzed worms, with pronounced disorganization of the sarcomere (Epstein and Thomson, 1974; Barral et al., 1998). To investigate the consequences of increased UNC-45 levels in a wild-type background, we used the transgenic line, suIs2 , expressing UNC-45 under control of the strong muscle–specific unc-54 promoter. In contrast to lines overexpressing UNC-45FLAG from an extrachromosomal array, this line stably transmits the transgene from generation to generation. suIs2 worms overexpress UNC-45 at 10-fold greater amounts than that of the previously studied integrated line suIs1 (Hoppe et al., 2004; Fig. 1 A).3 ]$ M- K0 }4 W) @/ f+ ~" }3 u4 w9 r

Figure 1. Overexpression of UNC-45FLAG results in decreased thick filament assembly and a mild paralysis phenotype. (A) Expression levels of UNC-45FLAG protein by two different integrated lines. Two integrated lines overexpressing UNC-45, suIs1, and suIs2 were analyzed for UNC-45FLAG levels by Western blots using a mAb to the C-terminal FLAG tag on transgenic UNC-45. Each lane contains 10 worms total. (B) UNC-45FLAG overexpression results in a mild paralysis phenotype. Motility in liquid was measured at 20°C for N2 and suIs2 grown at 20°C, unc-45(e286) grown at 15 and 20°C, and suIs2;unc-45(e286) grown at 25°C . N2 and suIs2 worms showed a mean of 33 and 21 body bends, respectively, over 15 s. The UNC-45FLAG transgene expressed in suIs2 was able to rescue the motility defect of unc-45(e286) at 25°C from a mean of 2 to 16 bends in 15 s. *, P

Although not as pronounced as in Lof alleles, the increased concentrations of UNC-45 in suIs2 also lead to abnormal thick filament assembly and a concomitant defect in movement. We measured body bend rates and found that suIs2 worms were 36% slower than wild type (Fig. 1 B). However, this is not as severe as the temperature-sensitive unc-45(e286) mutants grown at the restrictive temperature, which is the result of diminished, rather than augmented, UNC-45 function. Transgenic UNC-45FLAG was able to rescue the motility defects of unc-45(e286) at the restrictive temperature, indicating that it is functional (Fig. 1 B).

C. elegans young adult (Ya) wild-type muscle cells are 120–150 μm in length with a mean of seven to nine myosin thick filament–containing A bands per cell (Fig. 1 C; Mackenzie et al., 1978a). Similarly staged suIs2 worms demonstrated cells 108–130 μm in length that contained only five to six A bands (Fig. 1, C and D). Thus, UNC-45 overexpression in suIs2 worms results in a decreased number of myosin-containing thick filaments. This phenotype arises specifically from increased levels of UNC-45FLAG. Transgenic overexpression of the unrelated protein GFP under control of the unc-54 promoter does not result in altered muscle cells (Fig. S1 A, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200607084/DC1). Furthermore, integration of the UNC-45FLAG transgene by itself is not responsible for the muscle phenotype, as the expression of UNC-45FLAG as an extrachromosomal array also decreased the number of myosin-containing A bands in cells in which it was expressed (Fig. S1 B). Moreover, in rare instances in which individual muscle cells in suIs2 worms expressed undetectable levels of UNC-45FLAG, a wild-type phenotype was observed (Fig. S1 C).

Altered UNC-45 levels lead to decreased myosin accumulation0 h2 R. j1 }' ]3 F

We next investigated whether the overall myosin content was decreased in these worms. Four distinct myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms are expressed in C. elegans as major components of the sarcomere (Miller et al., 1983; Dibb et al., 1989). MHC A and B are present in the body wall muscles, whereas MHC C and D are located in the minor pharyngeal muscles (Ardizzi and Epstein, 1987). To assess myosin levels, individual worms were analyzed for MHC A, B, and D. In contrast to MHC D, which was not affected because UNC-45FLAG is specifically expressed in body wall muscle, both body wall MHC A and B were decreased in suIs2 to 70% of wild type (Fig. 2 A). Worms homozygous for the e286 allele grown at the restrictive temperature resulted in decreased accumulation of all myosin isoforms examined (Fig. 2 A). This is expected, as endogenous UNC-45 is involved in pharyngeal as well as body wall muscle myosin assembly (Venolia and Waterston, 1990). Previous results showing that MHC A content was not substantially affected in e286 mutant worms may be explained by the fact that the protein paramyosin was used for normalization. Paramyosin is also a major component of thick filaments, and e286 worms at the restrictive temperature have a 45% mean decrease in number of thick filaments compared with worms at the permissive temperature (Barral et al., 1998). Paramyosin levels are also decreased in suIs2 worms, indicating a loss of total thick filaments (Fig. S2, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200607084/DC1).9 O) ]7 u* V  ^% l. o

Figure 2. Overexpression of UNC-45FLAG results in diminished accumulation of body wall myosins. (A) C. elegans worms overexpressing UNC-45FLAG or harboring an UNC-45 Lof mutation have decreased levels of body wall muscle MHC. Individual worms from N2, suIs2, and unc-45(e286) strains at either the permissive (15°C) or restrictive (25°C) temperatures were isolated at the Ya stage. Western blots against MHC A, B, and D show that only body wall muscle MHC A and B are affected in transgenic UNC-45FLAG worms, whereas MHC D is also decreased in e286 mutant worms. (B) Quantification of MHC levels in worms overexpressing UNC-45FLAG and in UNC-45 Lof mutants. Analysis of Western blots performed in triplicate show that suIs2 worms have 30% less MHC A and B than N2 wild-type worms. Note that this decrease is not as great as that of e286 mutants, which have 70% less body wall MHC than wild type. *, P

Because our transgenic line carries multiple copies of the unc-54 promoter, the possibility existed that the observed muscle phenotype was caused by its excessive binding of transcription factors. However, real-time RT-PCR verified that mRNA levels of both myo-3 and unc-54, which encode MHC A and B, respectively, were not significantly different between N2 wild-type and suIs2 worms (Fig. 2 C) with GAPDH mRNA as a control. These results indicated that the decrease in body wall myosin is not a result of diminished transcription.' h0 ]; j1 R) O6 [3 T

The UPS is responsible for decreased myosin accumulation in worms overexpressing UNC-45) L' U/ W) E& Y8 g1 L

To examine a role for the UPS in the degradation of endogenous myosin in C. elegans, we first tested whether we could detect ubiquitinated myosin species in whole worm lysates. We performed pull downs from wild-type worms with antiubiquitin and antimyosin antibodies and blotted them subsequently with a myosin-specific mAb (Fig. 3 A). The ubiquitin mAb was able to pull down full-length myosin as well as species of slower mobility, consistent with polyubiquitinated myosin species. Several smaller myosin-immunoreactive bands were also detected in both pull downs, which may represent ubiquitinated proteolytic fragments of myosin, consistent with previous studies (Zdinak et al., 1997; Ikemoto et al., 2001; Acharyya et al., 2004; Du et al., 2004). Sarcomeric myosin can thus be ubiquitinated in C. elegans. Elevated ubiquitination would lead to accelerated degradation, which in fact was observed in lysates of suIs2 and unc-45(e286) worms at 25°C when compared with N2 and unc-45(e286) worms at 15°C (Fig. S3, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200607084/DC1).

Figure 3. The UPS is responsible for degrading myosin in worms overexpressing UNC-45FLAG. (A) C. elegans myosin is ubiquitinated in vivo. Pull downs from N2 wild-type worms using anti-MHC and antiubiquitin antibodies subsequently subjected to anti-MHC immunoblotting. Bands of slower mobility can be observed in the lane corresponding to the antiubiquitin pull down, which may correspond to multiubiquitinated myosin species. Bands of faster mobility observed in lanes of both pull downs may represent proteolytic fragments of myosin. (B) Degradation of myosin in C. elegans is dependent on ATP and is inhibited by the proteasome inhibitor MG132. Supernatants of worm lysates were incubated with no supplementation, ATP, MG132, or ATP/MG132 at room temperature. Samples were removed at the indicated time points. Western blots to detect MHC B were performed using mAb 28.2. (C) Partial inhibition of proteasomal function through RPT2 RNAi leads to restoration of both MHC isoforms in suIs2 worms. Western blots for MHC A and B were performed on suIs2 worms grown on Escherichia coli containing an empty vector or an RPT2 RNAi vector, as indicated. (D) Quantification of MHC levels in suIs2 worms after partial inhibition of the proteasome. Analysis of Western blots performed in triplicate shows that inhibition of the proteasome induces an increase in myosin levels in suIs2 worms. *, P

Proteasome-dependent proteolytic degradation requires ATP and is inhibited by MG132 (Rock et al., 1994). We thus tested whether degradation of endogenous C. elegans myosin exhibited these properties. We incubated separate reactions containing crude wild-type worm extracts with no additions, ATP supplementation, MG132 supplementation, and a combination of both, and examined the levels of full-length myosin and its degradation products by immunoblotting (Fig. 3 B). The unsupplemented reaction exhibited constant levels of full-length myosin, whereas the reaction supplemented with ATP showed a clear reduction of full-length myosin over time. MG132 by itself had no effects on full-length myosin levels, but the observed ATP-dependent degradation was effectively blocked by addition of MG132. The proteasome is therefore capable of degrading myosin in C. elegans.
/ Q; q- c% Y  l2 {- @
We next tested whether proteasome inhibition could restore the diminished myosin levels observed in the suIs2 worms that overexpress UNC-45FLAG. RNAi against the proteasomal subunit RPT-2 has been previously used to inhibit proteasome function in living C. elegans worms (Hoppe et al., 2004). Importantly, at the concentration used (see Materials and methods), RPT-2 RNAi did not result in complete inhibition of the proteasome, which allowed the nematodes to survive. When RPT-2 RNAi was fed to suIs2 worms, we observed clear restoration of body wall myosin (Fig. 3, C and D). Furthermore, RPT-2 RNAi also significantly improved the mobility of suIs2 nematodes (Fig. 3 E). Because UNC-45 itself is subject to degradation by the UPS, the previous observation that unc-45 Lof mutants are rescued by RPT-2 RNAi (Hoppe et al., 2004) can be explained by increased levels of UNC-45, myosin, or both. Our current results show that endogenous myosin can be ubiquitinated in C. elegans and that proteasome inhibition can prevent its degradation, in both a wild-type background as well as that resulting from increased UNC-45 function.* z+ L, v, U7 v* o3 H

We have found that UNC-45 overexpression results in diminished myosin accumulation and assembly because of its increased degradation via the UPS. Lof mutants also show similar but enhanced defects. These results allow us to propose an idealized model in which precise levels of UNC-45 are critical for supporting adequate myosin folding and assembly into thick filaments (Fig. 4). As a myosin chaperone (Barral et al., 2002), UNC-45 binds to newly synthesized myosin motor domains that have not yet attained their full native structure. UNC-45 assists in folding of the motor domain so that it becomes competent for assembly. We hypothesize that myosin produced in the context of UNC-45 Lof mutations is less capable of attaining its native structure and, as a result, is degraded by the UPS, thus explaining its drastically reduced levels (Fig. 2 A) and aberrant assembly into thick filaments (Barral et al., 1998). Myosin synthesized in the context of excess UNC-45 may also be prevented from reaching the assembled state because of mass action and is then susceptible to degradation via the UPS. Because both endogenous and transgenic UNC-45 can associate with assembled myosin in vivo (Ao and Pilgrim, 2000; unpublished data), excess UNC-45 may also be capable of shifting the myosin equilibrium from the assembled state into a degradation-susceptible unassembled state. The interplay between UNC-45, myosin, and the UPS may be of relevance to similar concentration-dependent phenomena between chaperones and client proteins capable of polymerization, such as those reported for Hsp104 and yeast prions (Chernoff et al., 1995).

(B) Proposed mechanism of UNC-45 chaperone–mediated myosin assembly, disassembly, and consequent degradation. All reactions represented by opposing arrows are reversible; myosin degradation represented by a single arrow is irreversible. By mass action, chaperone deficiency leads to a buildup of free, nonnative myosin, a substrate for the proteasome. Similarly, excess chaperone leads to a buildup of its complexes with myosin molecules and filaments. These complexes lead to increased levels of free, nonnative myosin and its proteasomal degradation./ N& X8 z3 G) r7 i

Vertebrates contain two distinct genes encoding different UNC-45 isoforms. General cell UNC-45 is expressed in multiple tissues and appears necessary for various cytoskeletal functions, whereas striated muscle (SM) UNC-45 is specifically expressed in heart and skeletal muscle and may be necessary for sarcomere organization (Price et al., 2002). SM UNC-45 may function during sarcomere assembly in a mechanism similar to the one described here for C. elegans UNC-45. Alterations in human SM UNC-45 function or concentrations may be significant in hypertrophy, dilation, and failure of the heart, as well as in skeletal muscle wasting in a variety of human disorders.
