These investigations suggest that Hsp90 may be the critical binding partner of Swa2 in [URE3] propagation, and we propose a new model for plausible Swa2-Hsp90 cooperation in [URE3] prion propagation.
Title: Prion-specific Hsp40 function: The role of the auxilin homolog Swa2.
study reports novel role for Swa2/Aux1; found that, in addition to Sis1,[URE3-1] is specifically dependent upon Swa2; data suggest that prion-chaperone specificity arises from the Swa2 TPR domain and supports a model where Swa2 acts through Hsp70, most likely to provide additional access points for Hsp104 to promote prion template generation
Title: Swa2, the yeast homolog of mammalian auxilin, is specifically required for the propagation of the prion variant [URE3-1].
Ssa1p and Swa2p cooperatively disassemble yeast clathrin coat baskets
Title: Clathrin coat disassembly by the yeast Hsc70/Ssa1p and auxilin/Swa2p proteins observed by single-particle burst analysis spectroscopy.
Both the TPR and J-domains of Swa2p, but not its clathrin-binding and ubiquitin-association motifs, are required for its function in Flo11p processing.
Title: Swa2p-dependent clathrin dynamics is critical for Flo11p processing and 'Mat' formation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Ubiquitin (Ub) recognition occurs predominantly through an atypical interaction in which the ubiquitin-associated (UBA) helix alpha1 and the N-terminal part of helix alpha2 of Swa2 bind to Ub.
Title: Atypical binding of the Swa2p UBA domain to ubiquitin.
These data suggest that the TPR and J-domains of SWA2 collaborate in a bipartite interaction with Hsp70 to regulate its activity in clathrin disassembly.
Title: Dissection of Swa2p/auxilin domain requirements for cochaperoning Hsp70 clathrin-uncoating activity in vivo.
