Abstract

The Hsp70 Ssb serves a dual role in de novo protein folding and ribosome biogenesis; however, the mechanism by which Ssb affects ribosome production is unclear. Here we establish that Ssb is causally linked to the regulation of ribosome biogenesis via the TORC1-Sch9 signaling pathway. Ssb is bound to Sch9 posttranslationally and required for the TORC1-dependent phosphorylation of Sch9 at T737. Also, Sch9 lacking phosphorylation at T737 displays significantly reduced kinase activity with respect to targets involved in the regulation of ribosome biogenesis. The absence of either Ssb or Sch9 causes enhanced ribosome aggregation. Particularly with respect to proper assembly of the small ribosomal subunit, SSB and SCH9 display strong positive genetic interaction. In combination, the data indicate that Ssb promotes ribosome biogenesis not only via cotranslational protein folding, but also posttranslationally via interaction with natively folded Sch9, facilitating access of the upstream kinase TORC1 to Sch9-T737.
