Overlay histogram showing HAP1 wildtype (green line) and HAP1-HSPB1 knockout cells (red line) stained with ab109376. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min)� and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab109376, 1�g/ml) for 30 min at 22�C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor� 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) presorbed (ab150081) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22�C. A rabbit IgG isotype control antibody� (ab172730) was used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody (HAP1 wildtype - black line, HAP1-HSPB1 knockout - grey line). Unlabelled sample was also used as a control (this line is not shown for the purpose of simplicity). Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab109376).

Supplementary information

Hsp27 also known as HSPB1 is a small heat shock protein with a molecular weight of approximately 27 kilodaltons. This protein is expressed in various tissues including muscle heart and brain. It functions as a molecular chaperone that stabilizes unfolded proteins preventing their aggregation. Hsp27 undergoes phosphorylation at specific residues which modulates its chaperone activity and interaction with other proteins.
Biological function summary

Hsp27 plays a critical role in cellular stress response by regulating actin cytoskeleton dynamics and inhibiting apoptosis. It forms part of a complex that includes other proteins such as alphaB-crystallin. This complex facilitates the reorganization of proteins under stress conditions enhancing cell survival during oxidative stress or thermal shock. Hsp27 also modulates inflammatory responses and has been shown to affect cell migration.

Pathways

Hsp27 integrates into the apoptosis and inflammation pathways. It interacts with apoptotic machinery such as caspase proteins to protect cells by hindering apoptosome formation. Additionally Hsp27 can engage with pathways involving the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) impacting inflammatory signaling. CPTC (carboxyl-pyrene-trioctylamine) can modulate these pathways by altering Hsp27 function and interactions.

Hsp27 has connections to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. In neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease its chaperone activity is thought to protect neurons from misfolded protein aggregates. In cancer Hsp27 supports tumor cell survival and resistance to chemotherapy by interacting with proteins like Akt and p53. These interactions highlight the complex role of Hsp27 in modulating cellular responses in various pathological states.

Target data

Small heat shock protein which functions as a molecular chaperone probably maintaining denatured proteins in a folding-competent state (PubMed : 10383393, PubMed : 20178975). Plays a role in stress resistance and actin organization (PubMed : 19166925). Through its molecular chaperone activity may regulate numerous biological processes including the phosphorylation and the axonal transport of neurofilament proteins (PubMed : 23728742).
