HspB2/Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase Binding Protein (MKBP) as a Novel Molecular Chaperone: Structural and Functional Aspects
The small heat shock protein, human HspB2, also known as Myotonic Dystrophy Kinase Binding Protein (MKBP), specifically associates with and activates Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase (DMPK), a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays an important role in maintaining muscle structure and function. The structure and function of HspB2 are not well understood. We have cloned and expressed the pr...
متن کاملMolecular chaperone involvement in chloroplast protein import.
Chloroplasts are organelles of endosymbiotic origin that perform essential functions in plants. They contain about 3000 different proteins, the vast majority of which are nucleus-encoded, synthesized in precursor form in the cytosol, and transported into the chloroplasts post-translationally. These preproteins are generally imported via envelope complexes termed TOC and TIC (Translocon at the O...

متن کاملAlpha-casein as a molecular chaperone
Alpha-casein, more specifically known as αS-casein, is a predominant milk protein with important nutritional properties. αS-Casein, composed of two individual gene products, αS1and αS2-casein, has been described in the past few decades as having molecular chaperone properties. In performing as molecular chaperones, αScasein and its purified constituent proteins, αS1and αS2-casein, stabilise a w...
متن کاملProtein Kinase A Regulates Molecular Chaperone Transcription and Protein Aggregation
Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) regulates one of the major pathways of protein quality control and is essential for deterrence of protein-folding disorders, particularly in neuronal cells. However, HSF1 activity declines with age, a change that may open the door to progression of neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease. We have investigated mechanisms of HSF1 regulation that may bec...
