Product Specs

Introduction
HSPA8, a member of the heat shock protein 70 family, encompasses both heat-inducible and constitutively expressed proteins known as heat-shock cognate proteins. As a heat-shock cognate protein, HSPA8 binds to newly formed polypeptide chains, ensuring their proper folding. It functions as an ATPase, playing a crucial role in disassembling clathrin-coated vesicles by facilitating the movement of membrane components within the cell. Found in colon cancer cells, HSPA8 participates in the disassembly of the reovirus outer capsid during membrane penetration, preparing the virus for gene expression and replication. Notably, serum HSPA8 levels decrease during normal human pregnancy. HSPA8 also plays a role in the effects of androgens on dermal papilla cells. Furthermore, HSPA8 exhibits a direct interaction with the influenza virus matrix protein 1, making it essential for viral production.
Description
Recombinant Human HSC70, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 666 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 1 to 646). It possesses a molecular mass of 73.1 kDa. This recombinant human HSC70 is fused to a 20 amino acid His Tag at its N-terminus and is purified using conventional chromatography techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The HSC70 protein solution is formulated with 20mM Tris buffer at a pH of 8 and contains 10% glycerol.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), keep the vial refrigerated at 4°C. For extended storage, freeze at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA at a concentration of 0.1%. It is important to minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity of the protein is greater than 90.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Classification and Structure

HSPA8 belongs to the heat-shock cognate subgroup of the Hsp70 family, which includes both heat-inducible and constitutively expressed members . The protein has a molecular weight of approximately 70 kDa and consists of two main domains:

  • N-terminal ATP-binding domain: This domain is responsible for binding and hydrolyzing ATP, which is crucial for the protein’s chaperone activity.
  • C-terminal substrate-binding domain: This domain binds to nascent polypeptides and misfolded proteins, facilitating their proper folding .

The substrate-binding domain is further divided into two subdomains: a two-layered β-sandwich subdomain (SBDβ) and an α-helical subdomain (SBDα), connected by a loop. The ATP-binding domain consists of four subdomains split into two lobes by a central ATP/ADP binding pocket .

Biological Properties and Functions

HSPA8 plays a critical role in maintaining cellular protein homeostasis. It acts as a molecular chaperone, assisting in the proper folding of newly synthesized and misfolded proteins, preventing protein aggregation, and facilitating protein transport . Some of its key functions include:

  • Protein folding: HSPA8 binds to nascent polypeptides and helps them achieve their correct three-dimensional structure.
  • Protein transport: It is involved in the transport of proteins across cellular membranes.
  • Antigen presentation: During nutrient stress, HSPA8 participates in antigen transport to regulate MHC class II presentation .
Modes of Action

HSPA8 operates through an ATP-controlled mechanism. It interacts with hydrophobic peptide segments of proteins, undergoing conformational changes that allow it to bind and release substrate proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. This process is essential for the protein’s chaperone activity .

Regulatory Mechanisms

The activity of HSPA8 is regulated by its interaction with co-chaperones and other proteins. The unstructured region at the C-terminal end of HSPA8 serves as a docking site for co-chaperones, which modulate its chaperone activity .

Clinical Relevance

HSPA8 has been associated with various diseases, including cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, cell senescence, and aging . Its role in protein homeostasis makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in these conditions.
