Dimeric Hdj1 then facilitates dimerization of Hsp70 and formation of a heterotetrameric Hsp70-Hsp40 complex. Our results provide a kinetic view of the conformational cycle of Hsp70 and reveal the importance of the dynamic nature of Hsp70 for its function.
The expression levels of TPD52 and DNAJB1 were elevated in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell lines tissues and bile samples suggesting that these proteins may contribute to tumor pathogenesis. In addition the expression levels of TPD52 and DNAJB1 were found to be closely associated with the clinical parameters and prognosis of patients with CCA.
The DI/VF sequence motif of BDAJB6 acts as a crucial switch that determines the state of the entire Hsp40-Hsp70 machine and eventually chaperone activity and cell death or survival.
The analyzed cancer mutants are likewise destabilized by interaction with the Hsp70/Hdj1 system. In contrast Hsp90 protects the DBD of p53 wild-type and mutant proteins from unfolding. We propose that the Hsp70 and Hsp90 chaperone systems assume complementary functions to optimally balance conformational plasticity with conformational stability.
Results suggest for the first time a role for miR-370 and miR-543 and its target DNAJB1 in the pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). In human neuronal cultures derived from SCA3 patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines miR-370 and miR-543 levels are upregulated while DNAJB1 expression is concurrently reduced.
Modeling of the different conformations of PRKACA-DNAJB1 Chimeric Kinase revealed no obvious steric interactions of the J-domain with the rest of the RIIbeta holoenzyme.
Overexpression of FUS or TDP-43 causes inhibition of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and toxicity both of which are mitigated by overexpression of the Hsp40 chaperone.
this study shows that DNAJB1/HSP40 suppresses Melanoma Differentiation-Associated Gene 5-Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein function in conjunction with HSP70
Data show that DnaJ (Hsp40) homolog subfamily B member 1 (DNAJB1) is a transcriptional target of forkhead box protein E3 (FOXE3) in a pathway that is crucial for the development of the anterior segment of the eye.
These results indicate that Mixed fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (mFL-HCC) is similar to pure FL-HCC at the genomic level and the DNAJB1:PRKACA fusion can be used as a diagnostic tool for both pure and mFL-HCC
These studies demonstrate an important role for cellular chaperone Hsp40/DnaJB1 in influenza A virus life cycle by assisting nuclear trafficking of viral ribonucleoproteins.
siRNA experiments confirmed that a reduction in Hsp27 or Hsp40 rescued CFTR in the DeltaF508 mutant but the rescue was not additive or synergistic with C4 + 18 treatment indicating these correctors shared a common pathway for rescue
