Supplementary information

'Hsp104' also known as heat shock protein 104 is a chaperone protein found mainly in yeast but also in some bacteria. It has a molecular weight of about 104 kDa. This protein helps with the disaggregation of protein aggregates by unwinding misfolded proteins using ATP hydrolysis. You can find 'Hsp104' in the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cells where it acts to prevent protein toxicity by refolding denatured proteins. This protein plays a defensive role especially under stress conditions like heat shock by aiding cellular recovery.
Biological function summary

'Hsp104' assists in the maintenance and repair of cellular proteins under stress conditions. It is not usually part of larger complexes; instead it functions as a hexameric ring forming a powerful disaggregase. By refolding aggregated proteins 'Hsp104' enables the cell to maintain proteostasis and environmental adaptability. This activity is critical in organisms facing stressful environments allowing for survival under extreme conditions that could otherwise be fatal due to protein aggregation.

Pathways

'Hsp104' is involved in the protein quality control and stress response pathways. Its role in these pathways is important for cellular homeostasis and survival during heat shock or oxidative stress. 'Hsp104' interacts with other molecular chaperones like Hsp70 and Hsp40 which help in the initial binding and targeting of protein aggregates to 'Hsp104'. These interactions facilitate a coordinated response that ultimately leads to the restoration of cellular protein functionality.

Researchers are investigating 'Hsp104' for its potential role in neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. These diseases are characterized by the accumulation of misfolded proteins and 'Hsp104's ability to refold and disaggregate proteins makes it a candidate of interest for therapies. Although 'Hsp104' is not naturally found in mammalian cells scientists are exploring ways to harness its properties in human cells as a treatment strategy. The protein's interactions with similar proteins such as Hsp70 highlight the complexity of protein aggregation disorders and the potential multi-faceted approach needed to address them.

Target data

Required, in concert with Hsp40 (YDJ1) and Hsp70 (SSA1) and small Hsps (HSP26), for the dissociation, resolubilization and refolding of aggregates of damaged proteins after heat or other environmental stresses. Extracts proteins from aggregates by unfolding and threading them in an ATP-dependent process through the axial channel of the protein hexamer, after which they can be refolded by components of the Hsp70/Hsp40 chaperone system. Substrate binding is ATP-dependent, and release of bound polypeptide is triggered by ATP hydrolysis. Also responsible for the maintenance of prions by dissociating prion fibrils into smaller oligomers, thereby producing transmissible seeds that can infect daughter cells during mitosis and meiosis. Loss of HSP104 can cure yeast cells of the prions [PSI+], [URE3] and [PIN+]. Excess HSP104 can also specifically cure cells of [PSI+].
