 The activity of a protein depends on its
three-dimensional structure.
 Intramolecular bonds, especially
hydrogen bonds, maintain

Interesting story
F. Ritossa –1960 discovered the heat shock (HS)
response while observing the salivary
cells of Drosophila and named them HSP’s
My name is
Chaperone
How do Chaperones work?
 One major function of chaperones is to prevent both newly synthesised
polypeptide chains and assembled subunits from aggregating into
nonfunctional structures
 High temperatures and other stresses, such as altered pH and oxygen
deprivation, make it more difficult for proteins to form their proper
structures and cause some already structured proteins to unfold
 Heat Shock Proteins are induced rapidly at high levels to deal with this
problem
Different Types of Heat
Shock Proteins
Heat Shock Proteins are classified by their molecular
weight, size, structure, and function.
They are divided into several families, namely -
1. HSP100
2. HSP90
3. HSP70
4. HSP60 (chaperonin)
5. Small Heat Shock Proteins/ (alpha)-crystalline
proteins
HSP100
Functions
-solubilizes protein aggregates thereby dissociating them
-facilitates proteolysis
-essential in yeast for acquired thermotolerance
-essential for yeast prion propagation
 6-7 monomer
 ATP
 no co-chaperon is required
HSP 90
stabilizes proteins prior to complete folding or activation
forms stable complexes with inactive glucocorticoid receptor and other
transcription factors
most abundant non-ribosomal protein (cytosolic version)
most abundant protein in endoplasmic reticulum (ER version)
 dimer
 ATP
 HoP and p23
HSP90 interacts with HSP40, HSC70/HSP90 organizing protein
(HOP), and co-chaperones to bind and stabilize newly synthesized substrate/client proteins. This ATPregulated
cycle of substrate binding is critical to the activation of many oncogenic signaling molecules.
HSP70
 monomer
 ATP
 DnaJ and GrpE
 assists in protein transport into mitochondria and the endoplasmic
reticulum
 protects proteins under stress
 stabilizes proteins prior to complete folding
 transports across membranes and proteolysis
HSP70 works with HSP40 to capture and transfer misfolded client proteins to prefoldin and other chaperonins for refolding
HSP60
 14-16 monomer
 ATP
 GroES and GroEL
 mediate the native folding of proteins through
cooperation of HSP70 and 60

binding sites of GroEL
sHsp
 8-24 monomer
 exhibit chaperone activity in vitro and thermoprotection in vivo
 produced at significant levels in cells experiencing heat stress
 most are heat inducible, but some are synthesized in unstressed
conditions-such as for cell development
Denatured or unfolded substrates bind to the hydrophilic surface of small HSP complexes and prevent the
substrate from aggregating.The substrate either stays sequestered or is released to be refolded or degraded.
Why Don't Heat Shock Proteins
Denature?
Better Hydrogen Bonds
Better Hydrophobic Internal Packing
Enhanced Secondary Structure
Helix Dipole Stabilization
