Chaperones of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family engage in protein-protein interactions (PPIs) with many co-chaperones. One hotspot for co-chaperone binding is the EEVD motif that is found at the extreme C-terminus of cytoplasmic Hsp70s. This motif is known to bind tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain co-chaperones, such as the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP, and Class B J-domain proteins (JDPs), such as DnaJB4. Although complexes between Hsp70-CHIP and Hsp70-DnaJB4 are both important for chaperone functions, the molecular determinants that dictate the competition between these co-chaperones are not clear. Using a collection of EEVD-derived peptides, we find that DnaJB4 binds to the IEEVD motif of Hsp70s, but not the related MEEVD motif of cytoplasmic Hsp90s. Then, we explored which residues are critical for binding to CHIP and DnaJB4, revealing that they rely on some shared features of the IEEVD motif, such as the C-terminal carboxylate. However, they also had unique preferences, especially at the isoleucine position. Finally, we observed a functionally important role for competition between CHIP and DnaJB4 in vitro, as DnaJB4 can limit the ubiquitination activity of the Hsp70-CHIP complex, while CHIP suppresses the chaperone activities of Hsp70-DnaJB4. Together, these results suggest that the EEVD motif has evolved to support diverse PPIs, such that competition between co-chaperones could help guide whether Hsp70-bound proteins are folded or degraded.

Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mtHsp70/Hsp75/Grp75/mortalin/TRAP-1/PBP74) is an essential mitochondrial chaperone and a member of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family. Although many studies have shown the protective properties of overexpression of the cytosolic inducible member of the HSP70 family, Hsp72, few studies have investigated the protective potential of Hsp75 against ischemic injury. Mitochondria are one of the primary targets of ischemic injury in astrocytes. In this study, we analyzed the effects of Hsp75 overexpression on cellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP levels, and viability during the ischemia-like conditions of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) or glucose deprivation (GD) in primary astrocytic cultures. We show that Hsp75 overexpression decreases ROS production and preserves mitochondrial membrane potential during GD, and preserves ATP levels and cell viability during OGD. These findings indicate that Hsp75 can provide protection against ischemia-like in vitro injury and suggest that it should be further studied as a potential candidate for protection against ischemic injury.

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a chaperon that stabilizes unfolded or partially folded proteins, preventing inappropriate inter- and intramolecular interactions. Here, we examined the developmental competence of in vitro matured oocytes exposed to heat stress with or without HSP70. Bovine oocytes were matured for 24 h at 39 °C without (group C39) or with HSP70 (group H39) and at 41 °C for the first 6 h, followed by 16 h at 39 °C with (group H41) or without HSP70 (group C41). After insemination, zygotes were cultured for 9 days at 39 °C. Cleavage and embryo yield were assessed 48 h post insemination and on days 7, 8, 9, respectively. Gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR in oocytes, cumulus cells and blastocysts. In C41, blastocysts formation rate was lower than in C39 and on day 9 it was lower than in H41. In oocytes, HSP70 enhanced the expression of three HSP genes regardless of incubation temperature. HSP70 at 39 °C led to tight coordination of gene expression in oocytes and blastocysts, but not in cumulus cells. Our results imply that HSP70, by preventing apoptosis, supporting signal transduction, and increasing antioxidant protection of the embryo, protects heat stressed maturing bovine oocyte and restores its developmental competence.

Εισαγωγή: Η υπερπλασία του έσω χιτώνα παίζει μείζων ρόλο στην επαναστένωση (in-stentrestenosis). Στην παρούσα μελέτη αξιολογήσαμε in vitro την επίδραση της D-24851(κυτταροτοξική ουσία που σταματά τον κυτταρικό κύκλο στο στάδιο G2-M) στονπολλαπλασιασμό των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρων και μελετήσαμε την ασφάλεια και τηνδραστικότητα μίας ενδαγγειακής πρόθεσης (stent) επικαλυμμένης με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνει την D-24851, στην αναστολή της υπερπλασίας του έσω χιτώνα χωρίς ναεμποδίζει την αναγεννητική ικανότητα του ενδοθηλίου σε in vivo πειραματικό μοντέλο.Υλικό και Μέθοδοι: Γυμνά μεταλλικά stent (n=6), stent επικαλυμμένα μόνο με πολυμερήουσία (polymer-coated, n=7) και stent επικαλυμμένα με πολυμερή ουσία πουαπελευθερώνουν 31±1μg (low-dose, n=7), 216±8 μg (high-dose, n=6) ή 1774±39 μg(extreme-dose, n=5) της D-24851 εμφυτεύτηκαν στις μηριαίες αρτηρίες λευκών New Zealandκουνελιών. Τα πειραματόζωα θυσιάστηκαν στις 28 ημέρες για ιστομορφομετρική ανάλυση.Για την αξιολόγηση της ενδοθηλιακής αναγέννησης στις 90 ημέρες, 12 πειραματόζωαχρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την τοποθέτηση polymer-coated (n=3), low dose (n=3), high dose(n=3) or extreme dose (n=3) ενδαγγειακών προθέσεων.Αποτελέσματα: In vitro η D-24851 αναστέλλει την υπερπλασία των λείων μυϊκών κυττάρωνκαι επάγει την απόπτωση τους χωρίς να αυξάνει την επαγωγή της heat shock protein 70(HSP-70), μία κυτταροπροστατευτική και αντι-αποπτωτική πρωτεΐνη. Η θεραπεία με lowdoseD-24851 stents συνδυάστηκε με 38% (P=0.029) μείωση της υπερπλαστικής περιοχήςτου έσω χιτώνα και 35% (P=0.003) μείωση της επι τοις εκατό στένωσης του αυλού σεσύγκριση με τα γυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ο τραυματισμός και η φλεγμονή του αρτηριακού τοιχώματος δεν παρουσίασαν σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων. Τα επικαλυμμέναμόνο με πολυμερή ουσία stents εμφάνισαν παρόμοια ανάπτυξη νεοιστού σε σύγκριση με ταγυμνά μεταλλικά stents. Ωστόσο, όλες οι ομάδες των stents με D-24851 παρουσίασαν ατελήενδοθηλιοποίηση συγκρινόμενα με τα polymer-coated stents.Συμπεράσματα: Οι επικεκαλυμμένες ενδαγγειακές προσθέσεις με πολυμερή ουσία καιχαμηλη δόση D-24851 μειώνουν σημαντικά την υπερπλασιά του έσω χιτώνα. Λόγω τηςατελούς ενδοθηλιοποίησης, μακράς διάρκειας μελέτες είναι απαραίτητες για ναπιστοποιήσουν ότι η αναστολή του νεοιστού παραμένει και μετά τις 28 ημέρες.

Oligomeric protein complexes containing the nuclear oncogene p53 and the simian virus 40 large tumor antigen (D. I. H. Linzer and A. J. Levine, Cell 17:43-51, 1979), the adenovirus E1B 55-kilodalton (kDa) tumor antigen, and the heat shock protein hsc70 (P. Hinds, C. Finlay, A. Frey, and A. J. Levine, Mol. Cell. Biol. 7:2863-2869, 1987) have all been previously described. To begin isolating, purifying, and testing these complexes for functional activities, we have developed a rapid immunoaffinity column purification. p53-protein complexes are eluted from the immunoaffinity column by using a molar excess of a peptide comprising the epitope recognized by the p53 monoclonal antibody. This mild and specific elution condition allows p53-protein interactions to be maintained. The hsc70-p53 complex from rat cells is heterogeneous in size, with some forms of this complex associated with a 110-kDa protein. The maximum apparent molecular mass of such complexes is 660,000 daltons. Incubation with micromolar levels of ATP dissociates this complex in vitro into p53 and hsc70 110-kDa components. Nonhydrolyzable substrates of ATP fail to promote this dissociation of the complex. Murine p53 synthesized in Escherichia coli has been purified 660-fold on the same antibody affinity column and was found to be associated with an E. coli protein of 70 kDa. Immunoblot analysis with specific antisera demonstrated that this E. coli protein was the heat shock protein dnaK, which has extensive sequence homology with the rat hsc70 protein. Incubation of the immunopurified p53-dnaK complex with ATP resulted in the dissociation of the p53-dnaK complex as it did with the p53-hsc70 complex. This remarkable conservation of p53-heat shock protein interactions and the specificity of dissociation reactions suggest a functionally important role for heat shock proteins in their interactions with oncogene proteins.
