MVU4 PROTEIN FOLDING IN THE CELL -3 Flashcards
what is the nature of many chaperones?
they are heat shock proteins
all HSP are chaperones but not all chaperones are HSP
how do cells respond to stress that causes protein misfolding?
increase the expression of chaperones and other specialized proteins
where does the heat shock response happen and what does it do?
happens in cytosolic and nuclear proteins
protects against cell death
where does the unfolded protein response (UPR) happens and what does it do?
happens in ER proteins
can promote cell death if the stress is too severe
what are inducible chaperones?
the heat shock proteins
heat induces the transcriptional activation of specific genes, which induces the transcription of certain proteins
what are constitutive chaperones?
assist in protein folding
proteins that facilitate the folding of others
hold or stabilise the hydrophobic residues
universal mechanism of protein homeostasis
what can cause unfolded cytosolic proteins?
heat stress
oxidative damage
proteasome inhibition
how long after the stress is removed does the stress response continue?
only after 24 hours does the cell return to normal
what transcription factor mediates the heat shock response?
HSF1
what domains does HSF1 have?
DNA binding domain
regulatory domain
transcription activation domain
what are the active and inactive forms of HSF1?
inactive = monomeric
active = trimer
what sequence in the DNA does active HSF1 recognise?
recognises heat shock element promoters (HSE)
what does the regulatory domain of HSF1 do?
allows it to become a trimer
how is HSF1 regulated? (before, during and after the heat shock)
before the heat shock: monomeric HSF1 is folded, but mimics unfolded proteins and is bound by Hsp90 (has exposed hydrophobic patches)
after: unfolded proteins compete with HSF1 for Hsp90 binding
free HSF1, liberated from Hsp90, trimerises and activates transcription
chaperones, included Hsp90 are expressed and help fold or degrade unfolded protein
after: HSF1 is down regulated by binding excess Hsp90 to the monomer form
what do some substrates require?
some require specific chaperones or combination of chaperones
what do ATP dependent chaperones do?
actively promote folding
substrate binding and release is regulate by ATPase cycles
what do ATP independent chaperones do?
prevent aggregation and can catalyse some folding steps
how do chaperones work?
in networks, cooperate
what do different families of chaperone proteins use?
different biochemical mechanisms
what are the 3 different families of ATP dependent chaperones?
Hsp70 family
monomers
locking pliers
Hsp90 family
dimers
nutcrackers
chaperonins (Hsp60)
trimer
cage
which two chaperones from the HSP70 family are present in the cytosol?
HSC70 (constitutive)
HSP70 (inducible)
which two chaperones from the HSP90 family are present in the cytosol?
HSP90 alpha and beta
which chaperonin (HSP60) is present in the cytosol?
TRiC
which protein from the HSP70 family is present in the ER?
BiP
which protein from the HSP90 family is present in the ER?
GRP94
what chaperone in E.coli works like HSP60?
GroEL
which is the one chaperone that is not expressed constitutively?
HSP70
how do HSP70 chaperones work?
70kDa monmers
the ATPase domain controls substrate binding domain
ATP bound: no substrate peptide binding
ADP bound: the substrate binding domain is closed tightly on the peptide
binds short hydrophobic sequences
