Abstract

Human 71 kDa heat shock cognate protein (HSPA8, also known as Hsc70, Hsp70-8, Hsc71, Hsp71 or Hsp73) is a constitutively expressed chaperone that is critical for cell proteostasis. In the cytosol, HSPA8 plays a pivotal role in folding and refolding, facilitates protein trafficking across membranes and targets proteins for degradation, among other functions. Here, we report an in solution study of recombinant HSPA8 (rHSPA8) using a variety of biophysical and biochemical approaches. rHSPA8 shares several structural and functional similarities with others human Hsp70s. It has two domains with different stabilities and interacts with adenosine nucleotides with dissociation constants in the low micromolar range, which were higher in the presence of Mg2+. rHSPA8 showed lower ATPase activity than its homolog HSPA5/hGrp78/hBiP, but it was 4-fold greater than that of recombinant HSPA1A/hHsp70-1A, with which it is 86% identical. Small angle X-ray scattering indicated that rHSPA8 behaved as an elongated monomeric protein in solution with dimensions similar to those observed for HSPA1A. In addition, rHSPA8 showed structural flexibility between its compacted and extended conformations. The data also indicated that HSPA8 has capacity in preventing the aggregation of model client proteins. The present study expands the understanding of the structure and activity of this chaperone and aligns with the idea that human homologous Hsp70s have divergent functions. (AU)
