Disease relevance of DNAJA1

  • Within the ulcerated plaque group, there was a correlation between degree of stenosis and high HDJ-2 mRNA expression (r = 0.896, P =.016) [1].
 

Psychiatry related information on DNAJA1

 

High impact information on DNAJA1

  • Overexpression of wild-type HDJ-2/HSDJ in HeLa cells decreases the frequency of ataxin-1 aggregation [3].
  • Furthermore, we demonstrated that the J-domain of two human DnaJ homologs, HSJ1 or DNAJ2, could substitute functionally for the amino-terminus of TAg in promoting viral DNA replication [4].
  • Unexpectedly, dj2, but not dj1, together with hsc70 refolded the protein efficiently [5].
  • To investigate roles of dj2 and dj1, we developed a system of chaperone depletion from and readdition to rabbit reticulocyte lysates [5].
  • We propose that dj2 is the functional partner DnaJ homologue of hsc70 in the mammalian cytosol [5].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of DNAJA1

  • The level of expression of HDJ-2 mRNA was also correlated to the presence of plaque ulceration and the degree of luminal stenosis associated with the lesion [1].
 

Biological context of DNAJA1

 

Anatomical context of DNAJA1

  • Overexpression of HDJ-2/HSDJ did not modify inclusion formation in PC12 and SH-SY5Y cells but increased inclusion formation in COS-7 cells [2].
  • Simultaneous depletion of dj2 and dj3 from rabbit reticulocyte lysate markedly reduced mitochondrial import of pre-ornithine transcarbamylase and refolding of guanidine-denatured luciferase [9].
  • These results indicate that HSDJ is involved in an early step(s) of protein import into mitochondria [10].
  • HSDJ mRNA was heat-induced in cultured cells [10].
  • Increased HDJ-2 expression in carotid artery plaques was independent of hsp70 (Pearson correlation, r = 0.11; Bartlett chi(2) analysis, P =.71) [1].
 

Associations of DNAJA1 with chemical compounds

  • Transiently expressed HSDJ was also prenylated, whereas its mutant C394S in which cysteine of the "CaaX box" was mutated to serine, was not [10].
  • Polyglutamine-expanded androgen receptors form aggregates that sequester heat shock proteins, proteasome components and SRC-1, and are suppressed by the HDJ-2 chaperone [11].
  • Hdj2 inactivation paralleled the oxidation of cysteine thiols and concomitant release of coordinated zinc, suggesting a role of cysteine residues in the zinc finger domain of Hdj2 as a redox sensor of chaperone-mediated protein-folding machinery [12].
  • Treatment with tipifarnib suppressed FTase (but not geranylgeranyltransferase I) in bone marrow and peripheral blood mononuclear cells and also inhibited the farnesylation of HDJ-2 in unfractionated mononuclear cells and purified myeloma cells [13].
  • L-778,123 inhibited HDJ2 prenylation for the duration of the drug infusion in a dose-dependent manner, but seemed to plateau above 560 mg/m(2)/day [14].
 

Regulatory relationships of DNAJA1

  • Mechanistically, peptide-K inhibited, while peptide-Phi enhanced, HDJ2-induced stimulation of Hsc70 ATPase activity in vitro [15].
 

Other interactions of DNAJA1

  • In a reconstituted system, both hsc70-dj2 and hsc70-dj3 were effective in protein refolding [9].
  • Our results, together with the current structural information of the Hsp40 C-terminal and J-domains, were used to generate models of the internal structural organization of DjA1 and DjB4 [16].
  • CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that expression of HDJ-2 is significantly increased in atherosclerotic carotid artery plaques as compared with hsp60 and hsp70 and correlates with luminal stenosis in ulcerated atherosclerotic carotid artery plaques [1].
  • A subset of the neuronal intranuclear inclusions stained positively for the chaperones Hsp90alpha and HDJ-2, a member of the Hsp40 family [17].
  • Small and large NIIs contained ataxin-7, human DnaJ homologue 2 (HDJ-2) and proteasome subunit 19S [18].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of DNAJA1

  • In addition, Western blot analysis showed that expression of HDJ-2 was also not affected by heat shock [19].
  • We have also shown that the expression of HDJ-2 is highly elevated in kidney allograft biopsies of kidneys undergoing rejection [Y.G. Alevy, D. Brennan, S. Durriya, T. Howard, T. Mohanakumar, Increased expression of the HDJ-2 heat shock protein in biopsies of human rejected kidneys, Transplantation 61 (1996) 963-967] [19].
  • We identified a specific interaction of Hdj2 with the cellular redox enzyme thioredoxin using a yeast two-hybrid assay and a coimmunoprecipitation assay, thereby investigating how the redox environment of the cell regulates Hdj2 function [12].
  • RESULTS: The expression of heat shock protein HDJ-2 was significantly higher in samples from lung transplant recipients undergoing rejection when compared with recipients without rejection or infection [20].
  • In contrast, drug-induced increases in the slower migrating, unprocessed species of the chaperone protein HDJ-2 and the intranuclear intermediate filament protein lamin A were detected in all four cell lines after treatment with either agent [21].
