Product Specs

Introduction
STUB1, a highly conserved cytoplasmic protein, plays a crucial role in protein quality control. Its TPR domain facilitates interactions with chaperones Hsc70-Hsp70 and Hsp90, while its U-box domain exhibits E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. This interaction with chaperones leads to client substrate ubiquitylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Thus, STUB1 promotes protein degradation, linking chaperone-mediated folding with degradation pathways. Notably, STUB1 inhibits anchorage-independent cell growth and metastasis by degrading oncogenic proteins like SRC-3. Additionally, quercetin-induced inhibition of Her-2/neu tyrosine kinase activity alters Her-2/neu structure, promoting STUB1 recruitment and downregulation. STUB1 also targets and mediates the degradation of toxic, oligomeric forms of alphaSyn.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

STIP1 Homology and U-Box Containing Protein 1, also known as STUB1, is a protein encoded by the STUB1 gene located on chromosome 16q13.3. This protein is also referred to as CHIP (C-terminus of Hsc70-Interacting Protein). It plays a crucial role in protein quality control and is involved in various physiological and pathological processes, including neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and immune responses .

Structure

STUB1/CHIP is characterized by three distinct domains:

  1. Amino-terminal Tetratricopeptide Repeat (TPR) Domain: This domain is involved in protein-protein interactions, particularly with molecular chaperones such as Hsp70 and Hsp90.
  2. Highly Charged Middle Domain: This domain is essential for the structural integrity of the protein.
  3. Carboxy-terminal U-box Domain: This domain confers E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, enabling the protein to tag misfolded proteins for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system .
Function

STUB1/CHIP is a molecular chaperone-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase. It is involved in the regulation of protein quality control by promoting the degradation of misfolded or damaged proteins. This function is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing the accumulation of toxic protein aggregates that can lead to diseases .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the STUB1 gene have been associated with various forms of spinocerebellar ataxia, including autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia 16 (SCAR16) and spinocerebellar ataxia 48 (SCA48). These conditions are characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, cognitive decline, dystonia, parkinsonism, and other neurological symptoms. The age of onset and severity of symptoms can vary widely among individuals .

Research and Therapeutic Potential

Recent studies have highlighted the potential of targeting STUB1/CHIP in therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. By modulating its activity, it may be possible to enhance the degradation of pathogenic proteins and improve cellular function. Additionally, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying STUB1-related disorders can provide insights into the development of novel treatments .
