Molecular chaperones: Avoiding the crowd

The involvement of two types of molecular chaperone in folding newly synthesized proteins can be rationalized in terms of the crowded nature of the intracellular environment. Recent work sheds light on how these chaperones recognise their substrates and protect them from the problems of macromolecular crowding.

Molecular Chaperones

In most cases proteins fold spontaneously under physiological conditions and do not require any external assistance. This has become evident since the experiments on ribonuclease A conducted by Anfinsen in ‘50s and ‘60s. The list of such “successful” folders has grown since and now includes many two-state proteins catalogued in Folding & Design 3, R81. These proteins fold rapidly and reliably t...

Molecular chaperones in the kidney.

The normal milieu of the kidney includes hypoxia, large osmotic fluxes, and an enormous amount of fluid/solute reabsorption. Renal adaptation to these conditions requires a host of molecular chaperones that stabilize protein conformation, target nascent proteins to their final intracellular destination, and prevent protein aggregation. Under physiologic or pharmacologic stress, inducible molecu...

Molecular chaperones: Clasping the prize

The three-dimensional structure of the substrate-binding domain of DnaK, a bacterial Hsp70, shows how such molecular chaperones can be so promiscuous in recognizing different proteins, yet so accurate in discriminating between unfolded and folded forms of their polypeptide substrates.

Molecular chaperones and the cytoskeleton.

Heat shock proteins, first observed because they are preferentially synthesized by organisms exposed to heat or other physiological stress, are also synthesized constitutively. These proteins are divided into several families, namely, HSP100, 90, 70, 60 (chaperonin), and the small heat shock/alpha-crystallin proteins. They enjoy a wide phylogenetic distribution and are important because they fu...
