[Characterization of recombinant human HSP70's domains functions and interdomain interactions]
Abstract:
We investigated ATP-ase and peptide-binding activity of recombinant human heat shock protein HSP70(A1B), HSC70, and two hybrid proteins derived from those. The UV-spectral recorded data was used to characterize conformational rearrangements, which were induced by domain replacement or HSP70-peptide interaction. We have shown that N-terminal domain dramatically affect substrate specificity of C-terminal peptide-binding domain. This proposes new hypothesis for HSP70 chaperone machinery. The linear dependence between ATP-ase activity and peptide complex ratio was found. This relationship could be used for unlabeled peptide-HSP70 complex quantification.
