10 kDa heat shock protein, mitochondrial (HSPE1)

The protein contains 102 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 10932 Da.

 

Co-chaperonin implicated in mitochondrial protein import and macromolecular assembly. Together with Hsp60, 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:7912672, PubMed:1346131, PubMed:11422376). 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). (updated: Oct. 10, 2018)

DESCRIPTION

Chaperonins are ubiquitous, indispensable proteins that facilitate protein folding in an ATP-dependent manner (Todd et al., 1994), enhancing the yield of properly folded substrate protein under conditions where spontaneous folding does not occur. Chaperonins are typified by the E. coli heat-shock proteins GroEL (cpn60; 118190) and GroES (cpn10). GroES is a heptameric ring of identical 10.4-kD subunits that binds to each end of GroEL to form a symmetric, functional heterodimer.

CLONING

Monzini et al. (1994) found complete identity of human and bovine chaperonin 10 cDNA. See reviews by Zeilstra-Ryalls et al. (1991) and Georgopoulos and Welch (1993). Hansen et al. (2003) presented the full sequence of the HSP60 (GroEL) and HSP10 genes.

GENE FUNCTION

Using a luciferase-reporter assay, Hansen et al. (2003) demonstrated that the region between the HSP10 and HSP60 (118190) genes functions as a bidirectional promoter. The transcriptional activity of the promoter fragment in the HSP60 direction is approximately twice that in the HSP10 direction under normal growth conditions; upon heat shock, promoter activity in either direction increased by a factor of approximately 12. Tokuriki and Tawfik (2009) examined the ability of the E. coli GroEL/GroES chaperonins to buffer destabilizing and adaptive mutations. Mutational drifts performed in vitro with 4 different enzymes indicated the GroEL/GroES overexpression doubled the number of accumulating mutations, and promoted the folding of enzyme variants carrying mutations in the protein core and/or mutations with higher destabilizing effects. The divergence of modified enzymatic specificity occurred much faster under GroEL/GroES overexpression, in terms of the number of adapted variants (greater than or equal to 2-fold) and their improved specificity and activity (greater than or equal to 10-fold). Tokuriki and Tawfik (2009) concluded that protein stability is a major constraint in protein evolution, and that buffering mechanisms such as chaperonins are key in alleviating this constraint.

GENE STRUCTURE

Hansen et al. (2003) found that the HSP10 gene consists of 4 exons. The authors demonstrated that the 2 genes are linked head to head. The first exon of HSP60 is noncoding, and the first exon of HSP10 ends with the start codon.

MAPPING

By radiation hybrid analysis, Hansen et al. (2003) mapped the mitochondrial chaperonin HSP60 (HSPD1; 118190) and its co-chaperonin HSP10 (heat-shock protein 10) between markers AFMA121YH1 and WI-10756 on chromosome 2. This localization and the position of 2 homologous fragments in the human genome assembly were consistent with the cytogenetic location 2q33.1. ... More on the omim web site
