Molecular chaperones: How J domains turn on Hsp70s
نویسنده
چکیده
Molecular chaperones of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) variety facilitate protein folding and assembly. They are assisted in this role by their Hsp40 partners, and recent studies have shed new light on how the 'J domains' of these 'cochaperones' activate substrate binding by Hsp70 molecules.

Roles of cytosolic Hsp70 and Hsp40 molecular chaperones in post-translational translocation of presecretory proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum.
Hsp70 molecular chaperones and their co-chaperones work together in various cellular compartments to guide the folding of proteins and to aid the translocation of proteins across membranes. Hsp70s stimulate protein folding by binding exposed hydrophobic sequences thereby preventing irreversible aggregation. Hsp40s stimulate the ATPase activity of Hsp70s and target unfolded proteins to Hsp70s. G...
متن کاملRoles of Hsp70s in Stress Responses of Microorganisms, Plants, and Animals
Hsp70s (heat shock protein 70s) are a class of molecular chaperones that are highly conserved and ubiquitous in organisms ranging from microorganisms to plants and humans. Most research on Hsp70s has focused on the mechanisms of their functions as molecular chaperones, but recently, studies on stress responses are coming to the forefront. Hsp70s play key roles in cellular development and protec...
متن کاملThe application of HSP70 as a target for gene therapy.
The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70s) are well-studied and characterized heat shock proteins (HSPs). They constitute essential components of a quality control system of protein synthesis, and function as molecular chaperones to prevent proteins from misfolding and aggregating during both de novo synthesis and under conditions of stress. Moreover, it is now well established that HSP70s play im...
متن کاملKey features of an Hsp70 chaperone allosteric landscape revealed by ion-mobility native mass spectrometry and double electron-electron resonance
Proteins are dynamic entities that populate conformational ensembles, and most functions of proteins depend on their dynamic character. Allostery, in particular, relies on ligand-modulated shifts in these conformational ensembles. Hsp70s are allosteric molecular chaperones with conformational landscapes that involve large rearrangements of their two domains (viz. the nucleotide-binding domain a...
متن کاملThe Complex Evolutionary Dynamics of Hsp70s: A Genomic and Functional Perspective
Hsp70 molecular chaperones are ubiquitous. By preventing aggregation, promoting folding, and regulating degradation, Hsp70s are major factors in the ability of cells to maintain proteostasis. Despite a wealth of functional information, little is understood about the evolutionary dynamics of Hsp70s. We undertook an analysis of Hsp70s in the fungal clade Ascomycota. Using the well-characterized 1...
