Mortalin, Apoptosis, and Neurodegeneration

Abstract: Mortalin is a highly conserved heat-shock chaperone usually found in multiple subcellular locations. It has several binding partners and has been implicated in various functions ranging from stress response, control of cell proliferation, and inhibition/prevention of apoptosis. The activity of this protein involves different structural and functional mechanisms, and minor alterations in its expression level may lead to serious biological consequences, including neurodegeneration. In this article we review the … Show more

“…Despite belonging to the HSPs family, the expression of HSPA9 does not increase in response to heat stress. However, it is stimulated by glucose deprivation, Ca 2+ influx and some cytotoxins [39]. Although HSPA9 is associated with anti-apoptotic processes due to its chaperone activity and inhibition of pro-apoptotic factors, it has also been proposed that under conditions of excessive stress, HSPA9 could not be able to prevent cell death and would change the mitochondrial functions leading to apoptosis [39].…”

“…Another protein with changed expression, 75 kDa glucose-regulated protein ( GRP75 ), is a molecular chaperone localized preferentially (but not exclusively) in mitochondria. This chaperone interacts with many proteins, including NDUS3 mentioned above (29). In mitochondria, GRP75 helps to maintain mitochondrial shape and function (30, 31).…”

“…A total of 119 proteins were identified, among which mortalin, and several subunits of Complex I are notable. Mortalin belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family and plays a role in the control of cell proliferation but can also act as a chaperone [141] and associate with the protein translocation system [142,143]. Protein quality control within the cell implies intervention of many molecular chaperones and proteases [144].…”
