Stress-70 protein, mitochondrial (HSPA9)

The protein contains 679 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 73680 Da.

 

Chaperone protein which plays an important role in mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) biogenesis. Interacts with and stabilizes ISC cluster assembly proteins FXN, NFU1, NFS1 and ISCU (PubMed:26702583). Regulates erythropoiesis via stabilization of ISC assembly (PubMed:21123823, PubMed:26702583). May play a role in the control of cell proliferation and cellular aging (By similarity). (updated: Jan. 31, 2018)

DESCRIPTION

HSPA9 is a highly conserved member of the HSP70 family of proteins (see 140550). It functions as a chaperone in the mitochondria, cytoplasm, and centrosome (summary by Chen et al., 2011).

CLONING

Mortalin has been shown to exhibit differential distributions in cells with mortal and immortal phenotypes. All immortal human and mouse cells that have been tested are devoid of the uniformly distributed cytosolic form of the protein that is characteristic of normal cells. Kaul et al. (1995) cloned mortalin cDNA from an immortal cell line, RS-4, established from mouse fibroblasts. The cDNA exhibited the structure of the perinuclear form, Mot2.

GENE FUNCTION

By immunoprecipitation analysis of mitochondria from human lymphoblasts and transfected COS-7 cells, Shan et al. (2007) showed that frataxin (FXN; 606829), which is encoded by the gene mutated in Friedreich ataxia (229300), interacted directly with several mitochondrial proteins, including the mitochondrial chaperone HSPA9. Reciprocal immunoprecipitation analysis confirmed the interaction of FXN and HSPA9 in transfected HEK293 cells. Heterozygous deletions spanning chromosome 5q31.2 occur frequently in myelodysplastic syndromes (153550). Chen et al. (2011) purified human cord blood hematopoietic progenitor cells and grew them under culture conditions that supported erythroid, myeloid, or megakaryocytic cell growth. They found that short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of HSPA9 in these progenitors reduced growth predominantly in erythroid progenitors. Knockdown of HSPA9 in erythroid cultures was associated with an increased number of cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and accelerated apoptosis. Knockdown of Hspa9 in mouse bone marrow cells, followed by transplantation into wildtype recipients, also resulted in loss of erythroid cell number. Chen et al. (2011) concluded that haploinsufficiency for HSPA9 may contribute to abnormal hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndromes with deletions spanning chromosome 5q31.2.

MAPPING

Using FISH, Kaul et al. (1995) mapped the human mortalin gene to chromosome 5q31.1. Gross (2011) mapped the HSPA9 gene to chromosome 5q31.2 based on an alignment of the HSPA9 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AK222758) with the genomic sequence. In mouse, Kaul et al. (1995) mapped mortalin-related genes to chromosomes 18 and X. ... More on the omim web site
