2 HSP- Overview/Structure
Classified into 6 structural classes - HSP100, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, sHSP and ubiquitin Involved in folding of denatured proteins Respond/elevated in temp and stress changes Heat shock factors (HSF) and heat-shock elements (HSEs) Associated with nuclei, cytoskeleton and membranes HSP ->are classified into 6 structural conserved classes according to their molecular weight Synthesized in dramatically increased amounts after a brief exposure of cells to an elevated temperature (Ex. 42°C for cell that normally live at 37°C) High temperatures and other stresses, such as altered pH and oxygen deprivation make it more difficult for proteins to form their proper structures and cause some already structured proteins to unfold. They bind partially to denatured proteins, preventing irreversible protein aggregation during stress. Transcriptional regulation of sHSPs depends on particular activation of heat shock factors (HSF) which recognize the highly conserved heat-shock elements (HSEs). After the heat stress has been released, the sHSPs are quite stable, suggesting that sHSPs may be important for recovery as well.

3 Overview- General Structure
α-crystallin kDa -αA-crystallin & αB-crystallin amino acid sequences=> α-crystallin core domain Forms distinct structural and functional unit N terminus => variable in sequence and length C terminus=> conveys stability and solubility α-crystallin, ranges in mass from 12 to 43 kDa, a major lens protein that is composed of two similar subunits-> α-crystallin and αB-crystallin, that form large complexes and functions as molecular chaperones sHSPs are characterized by an amino acid sequence known as the α-crystallin core, that is located in the C-terminal domain Info Summary: All members of the family are characterized by the presence of a homologous sequence of about 80 residues, which has been dubbed the “α-crystallin domain” and probably forms a distinct structural and functional unit. This domain is preceded by an N-terminal region of variable length, which shows little of no similarity between the various branches of the family. A short and variable sequence, but containing a conserved motif, extends C-terminally from the “α-crystallin domain”.

5 Primary Structure Picture: Schematic and linear representation of the domain structure and co-chaperone-binding sites of Hsp70 and Hsp90. The amino-acid residue numbers, domains and co-chaperone-binding sites are indicated. (A) Domain structure of human Hsp70. The C-terminal EEVD motif is characteristic for cytosolic Hsp70s and is involved in binding of TPR-domain-containing proteins. (B) Domain structure of human Hsp90α. The C-terminal MEEVD motif is involved in binding of TPR-domain-containing proteins. Binding sites of co-chaperones on Hsp90 are a composite of sites of interaction for mammalian and yeast Hsp90 [adapted from previous reports

6 Secondary Structure 2 hydrophobic β-sheet- rich motifs, connected by a hydrophobic α- helical region α-helix β-sheets Info: Picture: Schematic of the SBD of DnaK. This secondary structure representation of the SBD of DnaK in a partial space-filling and ribbon representation is derived from the crystal structure of the C-terminal domain bound to the peptide NRLLLTG (shown in pink; Ref. 13 ). The SBD is composed of -pleated sheets comprising the peptide binding cleft and an α-helical lid region. An arch formed by residues M404 and A429 (gray) encloses the peptide backbone and a deep pocket formed by residue V436 (green) accommodates hydrophobic side chains.

7 Cell Book (pg 390) (A) Showing the catalysis of protein refolding. A misfolded protein is initially captured by hydrophobic interactions along one rim of the barrel. The subsequent binding of ATP plus a protein cap increases the diameter of the barrel rim, which may transiently stretch (partly unfold) the client protein. This also confines the protein in an enclosed space, where it has a new opportunity to fold. After about 15 seconds, ATP hydrolysis occurs, weakening the complex. Subsequent binding of another ATP molecule eject the protein, whether folded or not, and the cycle repeats. (B) The structure of GroEL bound to its GroES cap, as determined by X-ray crystallography. On the left is shown the outside of the barrel-like structure and on the right a cross section through its center.

10 Small Heat Shock Proteins (sHSP) are chaperone-like proteins involved in multiple cellular processes such as denatured protein aggregate prevention, apoptose inhibition, or cytosqueleton protection. These proteins are large assemblies generally composed of several copies of the same monomer. We aim to understand the building process of these complexes, starting from the dynamical properties of the monomer (figure a), to the association into dimers (figure b) to finally reach the functional assembly (figure c). The study of these objects requires many bioinformatics tools such as multiple sequence alignments, homology modelling, molecular dynamics and docking simulation with a modelisation scale ranging from all-atom to coarse grain. Based on sequence informations, we are currently working on the structural properties of the different regions of the sHSP monomers, namely the Nter, Alpha Crystallin Domain (ACD) and Cter regions.
