Streszczenie:
The Sgt1 protein is a binding partner of heat shock proteins such as Hsp90, Hsp70 or Hsc70. In this work we show that the level of Sgt1 is increased in HEp-2 cells exposed to heat shock or radicicol. The citrate synthase aggregation assay shows that Sgt1 attenuates aggregation of the enzyme induced by increased temperature as efficiently as p23, a known co-chaperone of Hsp90. We have cloned two fragments of the human Sgt1 gene promoter (−708/+98 and −351/+98) into pGL3-luciferase vector and found that both fragments generated a 2-fold increase in luciferase activity upon heat shock. Furthermore, electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed binding of the HSF-1 transcription factor to the heat shock element in the proximal (−42/−2) Sgt1 gene promoter fragment. These results indicate that Sgt1 is a co-chaperone protein with an expression pattern matching that of the well known heat shock proteins.
