Structural Analysis of the Rubisco-Assembly Chaperone RbcX-II from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
The most prevalent form of the Rubisco enzyme is a complex of eight catalytic large subunits (RbcL) and eight regulatory small subunits (RbcS). Rubisco biogenesis depends on the assistance by specific molecular chaperones. The assembly chaperone RbcX stabilizes the RbcL subunits after folding by chaperonin and mediates their assembly to the RbcL8 core complex, from which RbcX is displaced by Rb...
متن کاملHsp110 is required for spindle length control
Systematic affinity purification combined with mass spectrometry analysis of N- and C-tagged cytoplasmic Hsp70/Hsp110 chaperones was used to identify new roles of Hsp70/Hsp110 in the cell. This allowed the mapping of a chaperone-protein network consisting of 1,227 unique interactions between the 9 chaperones and 473 proteins and highlighted roles for Hsp70/Hsp110 in 14 broad biological processe...
متن کاملMechanisms of the Hsp70 chaperone system1
Molecular chaperones of the Hsp70 family have diverse functions in cells. They assist the folding of newly synthesized and stress-denatured proteins, as well as the import of proteins into organelles, and the dissociation of aggregated proteins. The well-conserved Hsp70 chaperones are ATP dependent: binding and hydrolysis of ATP regulates their interactions with unfolded polypeptide substrates,...
متن کاملHsp70 nucleotide exchange factor Fes1 is essential for ubiquitin-dependent degradation of misfolded cytosolic proteins.
Protein quality control systems protect cells against the accumulation of toxic misfolded proteins by promoting their selective degradation. Malfunctions of quality control systems are linked to aging and neurodegenerative disease. Folding of polypeptides is facilitated by the association of 70 kDa Heat shock protein (Hsp70) molecular chaperones. If folding cannot be achieved, Hsp70 interacts w...
متن کاملCharacterization of interactions between the anti-apoptotic protein BAG-1 and Hsc70 molecular chaperones.
The anti-cell death protein BAG-1 binds to 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70/Hsc70) and modulates their chaperone activity. Among other facilitory roles, BAG-1 may serve as a nucleotide exchange factor for Hsp70/Hsc70 family proteins and thus represents the first example of a eukaryotic homologue of the bacterial co-chaperone GrpE. In this study, the interactions between BAG-1 and Hsc70 are cha...
