Stress causes upregulation of stress proteins Detection by sensors stressor Cell damages Activation of transcription factors Heat shock Oxidative stress HSFs Nrf2 Acquire tolerance Gene activation Protein synthesis Repair damages
Biological Responses to Environmental Stress 1. Cellular response to heat 2. Cellular response to electrophiles and reactive oxygen species 3. Nrf2 target genes
Heat was necessary to create life Hydrothermal vent Yellowstone hot spring Adaptation to heat is most important for life.
Heat shock induces various proteins in cells Temperature shift 43°C 37°C Activation of heat shock factors Induction of heat shock proteins (HSPs) Has60, Hsp70, Hsp90, etc.
Heat shock protein (HSP) family HSP110 HSP100 HSP90 HSP70 (DNAK) HSP60 (chaperonin, GroEL) HSP47 HSP40 (DNAJ) HSP33 HSP27 HSP15 HSP10 Some of these proteins are constitutively expressed and play their roles under normal temperature.
Some proteins return to native form following heat denaturation denature or unfolding Renature or refolding But, many proteins became aggregated when denatured
Denatured/unfolded proteins tend to aggregate Protein aggregates
Inhibition of protein aggregation by Dank-ClpB Heat shock Aggregation Native form
Chaperonin inhibits protein aggregation albumin Native form Urea + DTT Denatured form Enzyme activity turbidity ± chaperonin
ATP-dependent folding of GFP-protein by chaperonin GFP fluorescence Time (min) (-) chaperonin Inhibition of protein aggregate by chaperonin Opitical Scattering (+) chaperonin Time (min)
Chaperonin inhibits protein aggregate by heat treatment Without chaperonin With chaperonin
Discovery of chaperonin “Molecular chaperon” was found in different systems
Functions of chaperonin during protein synthesis Protein synthesis hsp Miss-folding chaperonin aggregates normal folding
