The human heat-shock protein family. Expression of a novel heat-inducible HSP70 (HSP70B') and isolation of its cDNA and genomic DNA.

ABSTRACT: The human heat-shock protein multigene family comprises several highly conserved proteins with structural and functional properties in common, but which vary in the extent of their inducibility in response to metabolic stress. We have isolated and characterized a novel human HSP70 cDNA, HSP70B' cDNA, and its corresponding gene sequence. HSP70B' cDNA hybrid-selected an mRNA encoding a more basic 70 kDa heat-shock protein that both the major stress-inducible HSP70 and constitutively expressed HSC70 heat-shock proteins, which in common with other heat-shock 70 kDa proteins bound ATP. The complete HSP70B' gene was sequenced and, like the major inducible HSP70 gene, is devoid of introns. The HSP70B' gene has 77% sequence similarity to the HSP70 gene and 70% similarity to HSC70 cDNA, with greatest sequence divergence towards the 3'-terminus. The HSP70B' gene represents a functional gene, as indicated by Northern-blot analysis with specific oligonucleotides, hybrid-selected translation with a specific 3' cDNA sequence and S1 nuclease protection experiments. In contrast with HSP70 mRNA, which is present at low concentrations in HeLa cells and readily induced by heat or CdCl2 treatment in both fibroblasts and HeLa cells, HSP70B' mRNA was induced only at higher temperature and showed no basal expression. The differences in patterns of induction may be due to the special features of the promoter region of the HSP70B' gene.

Isolation of a novel inducible rat heat-shock protein (HSP70) gene and its expression during ischaemia/hypoxia and heat shock.

Project description:Most of the members of the mammalian heat-shock protein (HSP) gene family have been studied and isolated from human and mouse cells. Few studies have concentrated on the HSPs of rat, a commonly used experimental animal. We have isolated and characterized a novel inducible rat HSP70 gene using an HSP70 cDNA sequence obtained from an ischaemic rat heart cDNA library. The isolated rat HSP70 gene was found to be a functional gene, as indicated by RNAase-protection and Northern-blot analysis. The deduced amino acid sequence of the inducible rat HSP70 exhibits a high degree of similarity to previously isolated mammalian inducible HSP70 gene products. Expression of the inducible HSP70 gene in rat myogenic cells (H9c2) is markedly increased after relatively short periods of hypoxia as well as by heat shock. Two heat-shock elements (HSE) are present in the rat HSP70 promoter. Transient transfection of rat HSP70 promoter/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase constructs into H9c2 cells shows that the presence of either of the two HSEs is sufficient for heat-shock inducibility. In contrast, induction of the rat HSP70/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase constructs by hypoxia is only detectable when both HSEs are present. This leads us to conclude that the induction of HSP70 by hypoxia and heat shock occurs through the same regulatory HSEs but the activation of the inducible HSP70 gene by heat shock is several-fold higher than by hypoxia.

Tumor-derived inducible heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) is an essential component of anti-tumor immunity.

Project description:The anti-apoptotic function and tumor-associated expression of heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) is consistent with HSP70 functioning as a survival factor to promote tumorigenesis. However, its immunomodulatory activities to induce anti-tumor immunity predict the suppression of tumor growth. Using the Hsp70.1/3(-/-)(Hsp70(-/-)) mouse model, we observed that tumor-derived HSP70 was neither required for cellular transformation nor for in vivo tumor growth. Hsp70(-/-) murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were transformed by E1A/Ras and generated tumors in immunodeficient hosts as efficiently as wild-type (WT) transformants. Comparison of Bcr-Abl-mediated transformation of WT and Hsp70(-/-) bone marrow and progression of B-cell leukemogenesis in vivo revealed no differences in disease onset or survival rates, and E?-Myc-driven lymphoma in Hsp70(-/-) mice was phenotypically indistinguishable from that in WT E?-Myc mice. However, Hsp70(-/-) E1A/Ras MEFs generated significantly larger tumors than their WT counterparts in C57BL/6?J immune-competent hosts. Concurrent with this was a reduction in intra-tumoral infiltration of innate and adaptive immune cells, including macrophages and CD8(+) T cells. Evaluation of several potential mechanisms revealed an HSP70-chemokine-like activity to promote cellular migration. These observations support a role for tumor-derived HSP70 in facilitating anti-tumor immunity to limit tumor growth and highlight the potential consequences of anti-HSP70 therapy as an efficacious anti-cancer strategy.

Chemical modifications of a recombinant bovine stress-inducible 70 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp70) mimics Hsp70 isoforms from tissues.

Project description:A cDNA clone for the stress-inducible 70 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp70) has been isolated from a bovine skeletal-muscle cDNA library. This mRNA encodes a protein with a calculated molecular mass of 70250 Da. The cDNA has one continuous open reading frame capable of encoding a 641-amino-acid protein. Expression of this cDNA in a bacterial expression system produced a protein with a mobility identical with that of the inducible Hsp70 protein from bovine skeletal muscle as determined by SDS/PAGE. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis demonstrated this protein to have focusing properties identical with that of a minor isoform from bovine skeletal muscle. Upon carbamylation of this bacterially expressed protein, a train of charged proteins with charge differences of -1 were produced. These carbamylated proteins were shown to have similar focusing mobilities to the Hsp70 isoforms isolated from bovine skeletal muscle. These results demonstrate the identification of a skeletal-muscle inducible Hsp70 gene and suggest that the presence of multiple Hsp70 isoforms may be the product of post-translational modifications to the Hsp70 proteins.

Genetic determinants of HSP70 gene expression following heat shock.

Project description:The regulation of heat shock protein expression is of significant physiological and pathophysiological significance. Here we show that genetic diversity is an important determinant of heat shock protein 70 expression involving local, likely cis-acting, polymorphisms. We define DNA sequence variation for the highly homologous HSPA1A and HSPA1B genes in the major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6p21 and establish quantitative and specific assays for determining transcript abundance. We show for lymphoblastoid cell lines established from individuals of African ancestry that following heat shock, expression of HSPA1B is associated with rs400547 (P 3.88 × 10(-8)) and linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located 62-93 kb telomeric to HSPA1B. This association was found to explain 31 and 29% of the variance in HSPA1B expression following heat shock or in resting cells, respectively. The associated SNPs show marked variation in minor allele frequency among populations, being more common in individuals of African ancestry, and are located in a region showing population-specific haplotypic block structure. The work illustrates how analysis of a heritable induced expression phenotype can be highly informative in defining functionally important genetic variation.

Investigating the Chaperone Properties of a Novel Heat Shock Protein, Hsp70.c, from Trypanosoma brucei.

Project description:The neglected tropical disease, African Trypanosomiasis, is fatal and has a crippling impact on economic development. Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is an important molecular chaperone that is expressed in response to stress and Hsp40 acts as its co-chaperone. These proteins play a wide range of roles in the cell and they are required to assist the parasite as it moves from a cold blooded insect vector to a warm blooded mammalian host. A novel cytosolic Hsp70, from Trypanosoma brucei, TbHsp70.c, contains an acidic substrate binding domain and lacks the C-terminal EEVD motif. The ability of a cytosolic Hsp40 from Trypanosoma brucei J protein 2, Tbj2, to function as a co-chaperone of TbHsp70.c was investigated. The main objective was to functionally characterize TbHsp70.c to further expand our knowledge of parasite biology. TbHsp70.c and Tbj2 were heterologously expressed and purified and both proteins displayed the ability to suppress aggregation of thermolabile MDH and chemically denatured rhodanese. ATPase assays revealed a 2.8-fold stimulation of the ATPase activity of TbHsp70.c by Tbj2. TbHsp70.c and Tbj2 both demonstrated chaperone activity and Tbj2 functions as a co-chaperone of TbHsp70.c. In vivo heat stress experiments indicated upregulation of the expression levels of TbHsp70.c.

Mitochondrial heat shock protein machinery hsp70/hsp40 is indispensable for proper mitochondrial DNA maintenance and replication.

Project description:UnlabelledMitochondrial chaperones have multiple functions that are essential for proper functioning of mitochondria. In the human-pathogenic protist Trypanosoma brucei, we demonstrate a novel function of the highly conserved machinery composed of mitochondrial heat shock proteins 70 and 40 (mtHsp70/mtHsp40) and the ATP exchange factor Mge1. The mitochondrial DNA of T. brucei, also known as kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), is represented by a single catenated network composed of thousands of minicircles and dozens of maxicircles packed into an electron-dense kDNA disk. The chaperones mtHsp70 and mtHsp40 and their cofactor Mge1 are uniformly distributed throughout the single mitochondrial network and are all essential for the parasite. Following RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated depletion of each of these proteins, the kDNA network shrinks and eventually disappears. Ultrastructural analysis of cells depleted for mtHsp70 or mtHsp40 revealed that the otherwise compact kDNA network becomes severely compromised, a consequence of decreased maxicircle and minicircle copy numbers. Moreover, we show that the replication of minicircles is impaired, although the lack of these proteins has a bigger impact on the less abundant maxicircles. We provide additional evidence that these chaperones are indispensable for the maintenance and replication of kDNA, in addition to their already known functions in Fe-S cluster synthesis and protein import.ImportanceImpairment or loss of mitochondrial DNA is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and a wide range of neural, muscular, and other diseases. We present the first evidence showing that the entire mtHsp70/mtHsp40 machinery plays an important role in mitochondrial DNA replication and maintenance, a function likely retained from prokaryotes. These abundant, ubiquitous, and multifunctional chaperones share phenotypes with enzymes engaged in the initial stages of replication of the mitochondrial DNA in T. brucei.

Dataset of Nematostella vectensis Hsp70 isoform interactomes upon heat shock.

Project description:Nematostella vectensis is an estuarine sea anemone that has emerged as a model species to characterize molecular responses to physiological stressors due to its exposure to diverse, extreme abiotic conditions. In marine cnidarians, Hsp70 proteins can be effective biomarkers to determine mechanisms of physiological acclimation and evolutionary adaptations to environmental stress: a pressing issue as concerns about climate change grow. Here we show the results of affinity purification mass spectrometry of three Nematostella vectensis Hsp70 isoforms, NvHsp70A, B and D when expressed in untreated and heat shocked yeast cells lacking their native Hsp70s. We identified a total of 1031 interactors for the three NvHsp70 isoforms, 549 or which were shared. NvHsp70 isoform interactions altered substantially under heat stress with 17% of NvHsp70A, 51% of NvHsp70B and 20% of NvHsp70D interactions increasing after exposure to 39 °C for 2 hours. For further interpretation of the data presented in this article, please see the research article "Dynamic remodeling of the interactomes of Nematostella vectensis Hsp70 isoforms under heat shock".

Antarctic marine molluscs do have an HSP70 heat shock response.

Project description:The success of any organism depends not only on niche adaptation but also the ability to survive environmental perturbation from homeostasis, a situation generically described as stress. Although species-specific mechanisms to combat "stress" have been described, the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs), such as HSP70, is universally described across all taxa. Members of the HSP70 gene family comprising the constitutive (HSC70) and inducible (HSP70) members, plus GRP78 (glucose-regulated protein, 78 kDa), a related HSP70 family member, were cloned using degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from two evolutionary divergent Antarctic marine molluscs (Laternula elliptica and Nacella concinna), a bivalve and a gastropod, respectively. The expression of the HSP70 family members was surveyed via quantitative PCR after an acute 2-h heat shock experiment. Both species demonstrated significant up-regulation of HSP70 gene expression in response to increased temperatures. However, the temperature level at which these responses were induced varied with the species (+6-8 degrees C for L. elliptica and +8-10 degrees C for N. concinna) compared to their natural environmental temperature). L. elliptica also showed tissue-specific expression of the genes under study. Previous work on Antarctic fish has shown that they lack the classical heat shock response, with the inducible form of HSP70 being permanently expressed with an expression not further induced under higher temperature regimes. This study shows that this is not the case for other Antarctic animals, with the two molluscs showing an inducible heat shock response, at a level probably set during their temperate evolutionary past.

Targeting Allosteric Control Mechanisms in Heat Shock Protein 70 (Hsp70).

Project description:Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a molecular chaperone that plays critical roles in protein homeostasis. Hsp70's chaperone activity is coordinated by intra-molecular interactions between its two domains, as well as inter-molecular interactions between Hsp70 and its co-chaperones. Each of these contacts represents a potential opportunity for the development of chemical inhibitors. To illustrate this concept, we review three classes of recently identified molecules that bind distinct pockets on Hsp70. Although all three compounds share the ability to interrupt core biochemical functions of Hsp70, they stabilize different conformers. Accordingly, each compound appears to interrupt a specific subset of inter- and intra-molecular interactions. Thus, an accurate definition of an Hsp70 inhibitor may require a particularly detailed understanding of the molecule's binding site and its effects on protein-protein interactions.

OLA1 protects cells in heat shock by stabilizing HSP70.

Project description:The heat-shock response is an evolutionarily conserved cellular defense mechanism against environmental stresses, characterized by the rapid synthesis of heat-shock proteins (HSPs). HSP70, a highly inducible molecular chaperone, assists in refolding or clearance of damaged proteins, thereby having a central role in maintaining intracellular homeostasis and thermotolerance. To date, induction of HSP70 expression has been described extensively at the transcriptional level. However, post-translational regulation of HSP70, such as protein stability, is only partially understood. In this study, we investigated the role of OLA1 (Obg-like ATPase 1), a previously uncharacterized cytosolic ATPase, in regulating the turnover of HSP70. Downregulation of OLA1 in mammalian cells by either RNAi or targeted gene disruption results in reduced steady-state levels of HSP70, impaired HSP70 induction by heat, and functionally, increased cellular sensitivity to heat shock. Conversely, overexpression of OLA1 correlates with elevated HSP70 protein levels and improved thermal resistance. Protein-protein interaction assays demonstrated that binding of OLA1 to the HSP70 carboxyl terminus variable domain hinders the recruitment of CHIP (C-terminus of Hsp70-binding protein), an E3 ubiquitin ligase for HSP70, and thus prevents HSP70 from the CHIP-mediated ubiquitination. These findings suggest a novel molecular mechanism by which OLA1 stabilizes HSP70, leading to upregulation of HSP70 as well as increased survival during heat shock.
