HSP70/HSPA1A Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

The HSP70/HSPA1A protein is an important molecular chaperone that protects proteome integrity by counteracting stress, aiding protein folding, activating misfolded proteolysis, and regulating protein complex dynamics. In protein quality control systems, it ensures accurate protein folding, controls substrate targeting for degradation through the ATP cycle, and interacts with co-chaperones such as HSP40, BAG1/2/3, HOPX, and STUB1. HSP70/HSPA1A Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived HSP70/HSPA1A protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of HSP70/HSPA1A Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is 640 a.a., with molecular weight of ~85 kDa.

HSP70/HSPA1A protein, a molecular chaperone, plays a pivotal role in diverse cellular processes crucial for proteome maintenance. It is involved in protecting the proteome from stress, facilitating the folding and transport of newly synthesized polypeptides, activating the proteolysis of misfolded proteins, and orchestrating the formation and dissociation of protein complexes. Within the protein quality control system, HSP70 ensures the accurate folding of proteins, the re-folding of misfolded counterparts, and control over the targeting of proteins for subsequent degradation. This regulation occurs through cycles of ATP binding, ATP hydrolysis, and ADP release, mediated by co-chaperones. Co-chaperones exhibit specificity, promoting the folding or degradation of substrates. The nucleotide-bound state of HSP70 modulates its affinity for polypeptides, with the ATP-bound form displaying low substrate protein affinity and a conformational change upon ATP hydrolysis to ADP, increasing substrate protein affinity. These cycles of ATP hydrolysis and nucleotide exchange permit repeated cycles of substrate binding and release. Co-chaperones are categorized into three types: J-domain co-chaperones (e.g., HSP40s), nucleotide exchange factors (e.g., BAG1/2/3), and TPR domain chaperones (e.g., HOPX and STUB1). HSP70 maintains protein homeostasis during cellular stress through two opposing mechanisms: protein refolding and degradation, determined by its acetylation/deacetylation state controlling the competitive binding of co-chaperones HOPX and STUB1. During the early stress response, the acetylated form assists in chaperone-mediated protein refolding by binding to HOPX, transitioning to deacetylation and subsequent binding to ubiquitin ligase STUB1 for ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation. Beyond its role in protein homeostasis, HSP70 regulates centrosome integrity during mitosis, essential for maintaining a functional mitotic centrosome supporting the assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle. It enhances STUB1-mediated SMAD3 ubiquitination and degradation, facilitating STUB1-mediated inhibition of TGF-beta signaling, and is indispensable for STUB1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of FOXP3 in regulatory T-cells during inflammation. Negatively regulating heat shock-induced HSF1 transcriptional activity, it is also involved in the clearance of misfolded PRDM1/Blimp-1 proteins, sequestering them in the cytoplasm and promoting their association with SYNV1/HRD1, leading to proteasomal degradation. In the context of microbial infection, particularly rotavirus A infection, HSP70 serves as a post-attachment receptor facilitating the virus's entry into the cell.

Hsp70 has ATPase activity at the time of manufacture of 21.591 µM phosphate liberated/h/µg protein in a 200µl reaction at 37°C in the presence of 10 ul of 4mM ATP using a Malachite Green assay.
