Death by chaperone: HSP90, HSP70 or both?

HSP70 family members are highly conserved proteins that function as molecular chaperones. Their principle role is to aid protein folding and promote the correct cellular localisations of their respective substrates. The function of HSP70 isoforms can be exhibited independently or with the HSP90 chaperone system in which HSP70 is important for substrate recruitment. In addition to their chaperone role, HSP70 isoforms promote cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis at multiple points within both the intrinsic and extrinsic cell death pathways. Consistent with this cytoprotective function, increased expression of HSP70 isoforms is commonly associated with the malignant phenotype. We recently reported that dual silencing of the major constitutive (HSC70) and inducible (HSP72) isoforms of HSP70 in cancer cells could phenocopy the effects of a pharmacologic HSP90 inhibitor to induce proteasome-dependent degradation of HSP90 client proteins CRAF, CDK4 and ERBB2. This was accompanied by a G1 cell cycle arrest and extensive apoptosis which was not seen in non-tumorigenic human cell lines. Here we discuss the possible implications of our research for the development of HSP70 family modulators which offer not only the possibility of inhibiting HSP70 activity but also the simultaneous inhibition of HSP90, resulting in extensive tumour-specific apoptosis.     

Comparison of the small heat shock proteins αB-crystallin, MKBP, HSP25, HSP20, and cvHSP in heart and skeletal muscle

Seven members of the small heat shock protein (sHSP) family are exceptional with respect to their constitutive high abundance in muscle tissue. It has been suggested that sHSPs displaying chaperone-like properties may stabilize myofibrillar proteins during stress conditions and prevent them from loss of function. In the present study five sHSPs (B-crystallin, MKBP, HSP25, HSP20, and cvHSP) were investigated with respect to similarities and differences of their expression in heart and skeletal muscle under normal and ischemic conditions. In ischemic heart and skeletal muscle these five sHSPs translocated from cytosol to the Z-/I-area of myofibrils. Myofibrillar binding of all sHSPs was very tight and resisted for the most part extraction with 1 M NaSCN or 1 M urea. MKBP and HSP20 became extracted by 1 M NaSCN to a significant extent indicating that these two sHSPs may bind partially to actin-associated proteins which were completely extracted by this treatment. Ultrastructural localization of B-crystallin showed diffuse distribution of immunogold label throughout the entire I-band in skeletal muscle fibers whereas in cardiomyocytes B-crystallin was preferentially located at the N-line position of the I-band. These observations indicate different myofibrillar binding sites of B-crystallin in cardiomyocytes versus skeletal muscle fibers. Further differences of the properties of sHSPs could be observed regarding fiber type distribution of sHSPs. Thus sHSPs form a complex stress–response system in striated muscle tissue with some common as well as some distinct functions in different muscle types.

Absolute amounts and diffusibility of HSP72, HSP25, and αB-crystallin in fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers of rat

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are essential for normal cellular stress responses. Absolute amounts of HSP72, HSP25, and αB-crystallin in rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscle were ascertained by quantitative Western blotting to better understand their respective capabilities and limitations. HSP72 content of EDL and SOL muscle was only ～1.1 and 4.6 μmol/kg wet wt, respectively, and HSP25 content approximately twofold greater (～3.4 and ～8.9 μmol/kg, respectively). αB-crystallin content of EDL muscle was ～4.9 μmol/kg but in SOL muscle was ～30-fold higher (～140 μmol/kg). To examine fiber heterogeneity, HSP content was also assessed in individual fiber segments; every EDL type II fiber had less of each HSP than any SOL type I fiber, whereas the two SOL type II fibers examined were indistinguishable from the EDL type II fibers. Sarcolemma removal (fiber skinning) demonstrated that 10-20% of HSP25 and αB-crystallin was sarcolemma-associated in SOL fibers. HSP diffusibility was assessed from the extent and rate of diffusion out of skinned fiber segments. In unstressed SOL fibers, 70-90% of each HSP was readily diffusible, whereas ～95% remained tightly bound in fibers from SOL muscles heated to 45°C. Membrane disruption with Triton X-100 allowed dispersion of HSP72 and sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase pumps but did not alter binding of HSP25 or αB-crystallin. The amount of HSP72 in unstressed EDL muscle is much less than the number of its putative binding sites, whereas SOL type I fibers contain large amounts of αB-crystallin, suggesting its importance in normal cellular function without upregulation.

Protein, carbohydrate, lipid concentrations and HSP 70–HSP 90 (stress protein) expression over an annual cycle: useful tools to detect feeding constraints in a benthic suspension feeder

In the present paper we suggest an effect of seasonal variations in food availability on two ecophysiological parameters in a warm temperate benthic suspension feeder: the tissue concentrations of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids on the one hand, and the expression of stress proteins (HSP 70 and 90, inducible and/or constitutive) on the other hand. The concentrations of biomacromolecules have already been used to describe bentho-pelagic and reproductive processes, but this is the first time that stress protein expression is suggested to be directly related with food constraints in marine organisms. Paramuricea clavata (Cnidaria: Gorgonacea) express HSP 70 and 90 (constitutive and/or inducible) throughout the seasonal cycle, and HSP 70 levels are twice as high as the levels of HSP 90. In summer and autumn, when seston availability to suspension feeders was low, P. clavata showed low levels of carbohydrates and lipids, but high levels of HSPs expression. The levels of HSP 70 and 90 expression fit with negative exponential functions of carbohydrate and lipid concentrations. We suggest a direct effect of food availability on the studied ecophysiological parameters while the effect of temperature may be rather indirect. HSP expression as well as the tissue concentrations of carbohydrate and lipids may be used as biomarkers of environmental changes and seston availability to benthic suspension feeders.
