BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 2 (BAG2)

The protein contains 211 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 23772 Da.

 

Co-chaperone for HSP70 and HSC70 chaperone proteins. Acts as a nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) promoting the release of ADP from the HSP70 and HSC70 proteins thereby triggering client/substrate protein release (PubMed:24318877, PubMed:9873016). (updated: Oct. 25, 2017)

Bcl2-associated athanogene 2; bag2

The chaperone activity of Hsp70 (see 140550) family members such as Hsc70 (600816) is regulated by partner proteins that either modulate the peptide-binding cycle or target the actions of these chaperones to specific proteins and subcellular compartments. The Hip protein collaborates with Hsc70/Hsp70 and DNAJ (see 602837) family proteins to stimulate ATP hydrolysis and thus stabilize Hsc70/Hsp70 complexes with substrate polypeptides. BAG1 (601497) competes with Hip for binding to the Hsc70/Hsp70 ATPase domain and promotes substrate release. Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen with the ATPase domain of Hsc70 as bait, Takayama et al. (1999) isolated cDNAs encoding 2 BAG1-like proteins that they named BAG2 and BAG3 (603883). By searching an EST database, they identified partial cDNAs corresponding to 2 additional BAG1 family members, BAG4 (603884) and BAG5 (603885). All the BAG proteins have an approximately 45-amino acid BAG domain near the C terminus but differ markedly in their N-terminal regions. The predicted BAG2 protein contains 211 amino acids. Takayama et al. (1999) demonstrated that the BAG domains of BAG1, BAG2, and BAG3 interact specifically with the Hsc70 ATPase domain in vitro and in mammalian cells. Surface plasmon resonance and in vitro protein refolding assays revealed that all 3 proteins bind with high affinity to the ATPase domain of Hsc70 and inhibit its chaperone activity in a Hip-repressible manner. These authors stated that the functional antagonisms displayed between BAG family proteins and Hip suggest that a proper balance of these 2 types of protein is required for achieving optimal cycles of substrate binding and release required for inducting conformational changes in proteins, with Hip promoting peptide substrate binding by Hsc70/Hsp70 and BAG family proteins promoting dissociation. ...
