Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP (HSPA5)

The protein contains 654 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 72333 Da.

 

Endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that plays a key role in protein folding and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen (PubMed:2294010, PubMed:23769672, PubMed:23990668, PubMed:28332555). Involved in the correct folding of proteins and degradation of misfolded proteins via its interaction with DNAJC10/ERdj5, probably to facilitate the release of DNAJC10/ERdj5 from its substrate (By similarity). Acts as a key repressor of the ERN1/IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response (UPR) (PubMed:1550958, PubMed:19538957). In the unstressed endoplasmic reticulum, recruited by DNAJB9/ERdj4 to the luminal region of ERN1/IRE1, leading to disrupt the dimerization of ERN1/IRE1, thereby inactivating ERN1/IRE1 (By similarity). Accumulation of misfolded protein in the endoplasmic reticulum causes release of HSPA5/BiP from ERN1/IRE1, allowing homodimerization and subsequent activation of ERN1/IRE1 (By similarity). Plays an auxiliary role in post-translational transport of small presecretory proteins across endoplasmic reticulum (ER). May function as an allosteric modulator for SEC61 channel-forming translocon complex, likely cooperating with SEC62 to enable the productive insertion of these precursors into SEC61 channel. Appears to specifically regulate translocation of precursors having inhibitory residues in their mature region that weaken channel gating. May also play a role in apoptosis and cell proliferation (PubMed:26045166).', '(Microbial infection) Plays an important role in viral (updated: June 2, 2021)

DESCRIPTION

When Chinese hamster K12 cells are starved of glucose, the synthesis of several proteins, called glucose-regulated proteins (GRPs), is markedly increased. Hendershot et al. (1994) pointed out that one of these, GRP78 (HSPA5), also referred to as 'immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein' (BiP), is a member of the heat-shock protein-70 (HSP70) family and is involved in the folding and assembly of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Because so many ER proteins interact transiently with GRP78, it may play a key role in monitoring protein transport through the cell.

CLONING

Lee et al. (1981) cloned the hamster Grp78 gene. Ting and Lee (1988) isolated and characterized the human GRP78 gene. GRP78 is highly conserved in evolution and is transcriptionally regulated (Lee et al., 1983; Ting and Lee, 1988).

GENE FUNCTION

To examine how the binding of BiP influences the conformational maturation of thyroglobulin (TG; 188450), Muresan and Arvan (1998) expressed TG in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells genetically manipulated for selectively increased BiP expression (CHO-B cells). The TG expressed in CHO-B cells did not contain any mutations that induce misfolding (i.e., no unfolded protein response), so that levels of all other ER chaperones were normal. Increased availability of BiP did not accelerate TG secretion; rather, the export of newly synthesized TG was delayed. TG that was detained intracellularly was concentrated in the ER. Muresan and Arvan (1998) concluded that increased binding of BiP to TG leads to its delayed conformational maturation in the ER. Shen et al. (2002) found that HSPA5 binds ATF6 (605537) and dissociates from it in response to ER stress. They showed that deletion of luminal HSPA5 binding sites from ATF6, while retaining a Golgi localization signal, resulted in constitutive translocation of ATF6 to the Golgi. In cells overexpressing HSPA5, they observed that translocation of ATF6 to the Golgi was slowed. Shen et al. (2002) concluded that HSPA5 retains ATF6 in the ER by inhibiting its Golgi localization signals and that dissociation of HSPA5 during ER stress allows ATF6 to be transported to the Golgi. Sommer and Jarosch (2002) summarized the findings of Shen et al. (2002) in a discussion of the proteins involved in regulating levels of aberrant proteins within the ER. They suggested that the findings of Shen et al. (2002) demonstrated that HSPA5 is a key element in sensing the folding capacity within the ER. Two members of the HSP70 family are required for protein biogenesis in the yeast endoplasmic reticulum: Lhs1 (homologous to HYOU1; 601746) and Kar2 (homologous to HSPA5). Steel et al. (2004) found that Lhs1 and Kar2 specifically interacted to couple, and coordinately regulate, their respective activities. Lhs1 stimulated Kar2 by providing a specific nucleotide exchange activity, whereas Kar2 reciprocally activated the Lhs1 ATPase. In yeast, the 2 ATPase activities are coupled, and their coordinated regulation is essential for normal function in vivo. Ushioda et al. (2008) found that the ER-resident protein ERDJ5 (607987) had a reductase activity, cleaved the disulfide bonds of misfolded proteins, and accelerated ER-associated degradation (ERAD) through its physical and functional associations with EDEM (607673) and the ER-resident chaperone BIP. Thus, Ushioda et al. (2008) concluded that ERDJ5 is a member of a supramolecular ERAD complex that recognizes and unfolds ... More on the omim web site
