摘要: The 70 kDa heat shock family of molecular chaperones is essential to a variety cellular processes, yet it unclear how these proteins are regulated in vivo. We present evidence that the protein BAG-1 potential modulator chaperones, Hsp70 and Hsc70. binds ATPase domain Hsc70, without requirement for their carboxy-terminal peptide-binding domain, can be co-immunoprecipitated with Hsp/Hsc70 from cell lysates. Purified efficiently form heteromeric complexes vitro. inhibits Hsp/Hsc70-mediated vitro refolding an unfolded substrate, whereas mutants fail bind do not affect chaperone activity. binding one its known targets, Bcl-2, lysates was found dependent on ATP, consistent possible involvement complex formation. Overexpression also protected certain lines shock-induced death. identification as partner may explain diverse interactions observed between several other proteins, including Raf-1, steroid hormone receptors tyrosine kinase growth factor receptors. inhibitory effects activity suggest represents novel type regulatory thus link signaling, death stress response.
