Function

Chaperonin implicated in mitochondrial protein import and macromolecular assembly. Together with Hsp10, facilitates the correct folding of imported proteins. May also prevent misfolding and promote the refolding and proper assembly of unfolded polypeptides generated under stress conditions in the mitochondrial matrix (PubMed:11422376, PubMed:1346131). The functional units of these chaperonins consist of heptameric rings of the large subunit Hsp60, which function as a back-to-back double ring. In a cyclic reaction, Hsp60 ring complexes bind one unfolded substrate protein per ring, followed by the binding of ATP and association with 2 heptameric rings of the co-chaperonin Hsp10. This leads to sequestration of the substrate protein in the inner cavity of Hsp60 where, for a certain period of time, it can fold undisturbed by other cell components. Synchronous hydrolysis of ATP in all Hsp60 subunits results in the dissociation of the chaperonin rings and the release of ADP and the folded substrate protein (Probable).

Supplementary info

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
Activity summary

Hsp60 also known as HSPD1 and heat shock protein 60 is a significant chaperonin with a molecular weight of approximately 60 kDa. It resides predominantly in the mitochondria and functions to assist in the proper folding of proteins preventing their aggregation. Hsp60 is expressed mainly in cells with high metabolic activity. Its presence as a mitochondrial marker highlights its essential role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and function.

Biological function summary

The protein ensures mitochondrial protein stability by facilitating the refolding of misfolded proteins and cooperating with other chaperonins like Hsp10. Hsp60 participates in forming a complex with these proteins to create a conducive environment for protein folding. It plays a part in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis impacting cell survival and apoptosis processes.

Pathways

Hsp60 links to the ATP synthesis and apoptosis pathways showcasing its importance as a mitochondrial marker. It interacts with proteins like caspase-3 to modulate cell death mechanisms highlighting its influence beyond simple protein folding. In the ATP synthesis pathway it contributes indirectly to energy production by maintaining mitochondrial function.

Associated diseases and disorders

Hsp60 shows a connection to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Altered Hsp60 levels correlate with increased apoptosis in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Additionally in cancer interactions with proteins such as AKT suggest its potential role in cell proliferation and survival. Understanding its role could aid in the development of therapeutic interventions targeting mitochondrial dysfunction.

    IHC image of Hsp60 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human liver* performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab46798, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
