Hsp70 Molecular Chaperones: Emerging Roles in Human Disease and Identification of Small Molecule Modulators

Abstract: Molecular chaperones are best known for their ability to aid in the solubilization of mis-folded proteins, and as a result play essential roles in protein folding, degradation, and transport. However, many molecular chaperones also play essential roles in signal transduction cascades. For example, Hsp70 molecular chaperones are a highly conserved, abundant class of chaperones that are found in every species and in nearly every cellular compartment in eukaryotes. In addition to their well-established roles in f… Show more

“…It is not surprising that chaperone sequences and triose phosphate dehydrogenases (in the metabolic enzyme class) are strongly conserved, because these are genes whose sequences are highly conserved across the biome (3,21,60). Their primary locations are intracellular.…”

“…The commonalities identified here suggest that each eukaryotic lineage has conserved the mechanism to generate diverse extracellular structures but has altered the products of the mechanism in their ancestor to form cell walls (in plants) or some other extracellular matrices (in metazoans). This conserved mechanism uses GPI synthesis and processing enzymes, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, and chaperones to enable the localization and proper folding of the proteins (3,21,40,41).…”

“…They play essential roles in every aspect of cellular protein homeostasis including protein folding, transportation across membrane, assembly, degradation, and quality control. Due to the fundamental importance of maintaining protein homeostasis, Hsp70s are connected with many human diseases including various cancers and neurodegenerative diseases (Muchowski and Wacker 2005;Brodsky and Chiosis 2006;Balch et al 2008;Evans et al 2010;Murphy 2013). Qingdai Liu, Hongtao Li, Ying Yang, and Xueli Tian contributed equally to this work Hsp70s are highly conserved.…”

“…Hsp70 is abundantly expressed in many human tumors and this often correlates with metastasis and poor outcome in cancer patients (Brodsky and Chiosis, 2006;Patury et al, 2009). Up-regulated Hsp70 function is critical for the growth and survival of different human tumor cell lines (Brodsky and Chiosis, 2006;Patury et al, 2009;Powers et al, 2008). In light of the ample structural data available on this molecular chaperone, Hsp70 appears as an attractive putative drug target for the treatment of cancer.…”
