Abstract
Bacterial Hsp90 is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone involved in protein remodeling and activation. The E. coli Hsp90, Hsp90Ec, collaborates in protein remodeling with another ATP-dependent chaperone, DnaK, the E. coli Hsp70. Both Hsp90Ec and DnaK hydrolyze ATP and client (substrate) proteins stimulate the hydrolysis. Additionally, ATP hydrolysis by the combination of Hsp90Ec and DnaK is synergistically stimulated in the presence of client (substrate). Here, we describe two steady-state ATPase assays used to monitor ATP hydrolysis by Hsp90Ec and DnaK as well as the synergistic stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by the combination of Hsp90Ec and DnaK in the presence of a client (substrate). The first assay is a spectrophotometric assay based on enzyme-coupled reactions that utilize the ADP formed during ATP hydrolysis to oxidize NADH. The second assay is a more sensitive method that directly quantifies the radioactive inorganic phosphate released following the hydrolysis of [γ-33P] ATP or [γ-32P] ATP.
