Autorepression of yeast Hsp70 cochaperones by intramolecular interactions involving their J-domains

Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Goloubinoff, Satyam Tiwari, Mathieu Rebeaud, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Adélaïde Alice Mohr

The 70 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) chaperones control protein homeostasis in all ATP-containing cellular compartments. J-domain proteins (JDPs) coevolved with Hsp70s to trigger ATP hydrolysis and catalytically upload various substrate polypeptides in ne ...

Synergetic Support of Cartilage Homeostasis via Coupled Thermal-Hydrostatic Pressure Stimuli

Yanheng Guo

Cartilage homeostasis, crucial for musculoskeletal function, is orchestrated by interconnected biophysical cues. In healthy cartilage, repetitive compressive loading not only elicits a range of mechanical stimuli but also induces a gradual transient temper ...

Why do we need so many proteins? A physical insight into the collaboration of Hsp70 and DnaJ

Adélaïde Alice Mohr

The Hsp70 cycle is a key element of protein homeostasis, which is essential to avoid protein aggregation and protein-related diseases. Despite many experimental observations of the interaction between Hsp70, its co-chaperone DnaJ and various substrates, li ...

A fluorescent multi-domain protein reveals the unfolding mechanism of Hsp70

Paolo De Los Rios, Pierre Goloubinoff, Satyam Tiwari, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Salvatore Assenza

Detailed understanding of the mechanism by which Hsp70 chaperones protect cells against protein aggregation is hampered by the lack of a comprehensive characterization of the aggregates, which are typically heterogeneous. Here we designed a reporter chaper ...

FIB-milled plasmonic nanoapertures allow for long trapping times of individual proteins

Wayne Yang Wen Wei

We have developed a fabrication methodology for label-free optical trapping of individual nanobeads and proteins in inverted-bowtie-shaped plasmonic gold nanopores. Arrays of these nanoapertures can be reliably produced using focused ion beam (FIB) milling ...

Molecular dissection of amyloid disaggregation by human HSP70

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci

The molecular steps that lead to the disaggregation of amyloid fibrils are shown to involve the synergistic action of HSP70 and its co-chaperones DNAJB1 and HSP110. The deposition of highly ordered fibrillar-type aggregates into inclusion bodies is a hallm ...

Function, evolution, and structure of J-domain proteins

Paolo De Los Rios, Alessandro Barducci, Pierre Goloubinoff

Hsp70 chaperone systems are very versatile machines present in nearly all living organisms and in nearly all intracellular compartments. They function in many fundamental processes through their facilitation of protein (re)folding, trafficking, remodeling, ...

The Chaperone and Redox Properties of CnoX Chaperedoxins Are Tailored to the Proteostatic Needs of Bacterial Species

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans

Hypochlorous acid (bleach), an oxidizing compound produced by neutrophils, turns the Escherichia coli chaperedoxin CnoX into a powerful holdase protecting its substrates from bleach-induced aggregation. CnoX is well conserved in bacteria, even in non-infec ...

Statistical Analysis of Protein Sequences: A Coevolutionary Study of Molecular Chaperones

Duccio Malinverni

Recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies led to the accumulation of enormous quantities of genetic information available in public databases. This rapid growth of available biological datasets calls for quantitative analysis tools and concomitantly o ...

CnoX Is a Chaperedoxin: A Holdase that Protects Its Substrates from Irreversible Oxidation

Camille Véronique Bernadette Goemans

Bleach (HOCl) is a powerful oxidant that kills bacteria in part by causing protein aggregation. It inactivates ATP-dependent chaperones, rendering cellular proteins mostly dependent on holdases. Here we identified Escherichia coli CnoX (YbbN) as a folding ...
