Although hsp70 antagonizes apoptosis inducing factor (AIF)-mediated cell death, the relative importance of preventing its release from mitochondria vs. sequestering leaked AIF in the cytosol remains controversial. To dissect these two protective mechanisms, hsp70 deletion mutants lacking either the chaperone function (hsp70-EEVD) or ATPase function (hsp70-ATPase) were selectively over-expressed before exposing cells to a metabolic inhibitor, an insult sufficient to cause mitochondrial AIF release, nuclear AIF accumulation and apoptosis. Compared to empty vector, over-expression of wild type human hsp70 (wt-hsp70) inhibited bax activation and reduced mitochondrial AIF release after injury. In contrast, mutants lacking either the chaperone function (hsp70-EEVD) or the ATP hydrolytic domain (hsp70-ATPase) failed to prevent mitochondrial AIF release. Although hsp70-EEVD did not inhibit bax activation or mitochondrial membrane injury after cell stress, this hsp70 mutant co-immuno-precipitated with leaked AIF in injured cells and decreased nuclear AIF accumulation. In contrast, hsp70-ATPase did not interact with AIF either in intact cells or in a cell-free system and furthermore, failed to prevent nuclear AIF accumulation. These results demonstrate that mitochondrial protection against bax-mediated injury requires both intact chaperone and ATPase functions, whereas the ATPase domain is critical for sequestering AIF in the cytosol.
