Interactions between small heat shock protein subunits and substrate in small heat shock protein-substrate complexes.
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are dynamic oligomeric proteins that bind unfolding proteins and protect them from irreversible aggregation. This binding results in the formation of sHSP-substrate complexes from which substrate can later be refolded. Interactions between sHSP and substrate in sHSP-substrate complexes and the mechanism by which substrate is transferred to ATP-dependent chapero...
متن کاملSubstrate binding site flexibility of the small heat shock protein molecular chaperones.
Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) serve as a first line of defense against stress-induced cell damage by binding and maintaining denaturing proteins in a folding-competent state. In contrast to the well-defined substrate binding regions of ATP-dependent chaperones, interactions between sHSPs and substrates are poorly understood. Defining substrate-binding sites of sHSPs is key to understanding ...
متن کاملSmall heat shock proteins in protein aggregation and disaggregation
Many factors leading to unfolding and misfolding of proteins eventually result in protein aggregation. Stress imposed by high temperature was one of the first aggregation-inducing factors studied, and remains one of the main models in this field. The cell needs chaperone proteins to control and counteract the aggregation process. Elimination of aggregates can be achieved by solubilization of ag...

متن کاملDetection and Architecture of Small Heat Shock Protein Monomers
BACKGROUND Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSPs) are chaperone-like proteins involved in the prevention of the irreversible aggregation of misfolded proteins. Although many studies have already been conducted on sHSPs, the molecular mechanisms and structural properties of these proteins remain unclear. Here, we propose a better understanding of the architecture, organization and properties of the s...
