Disease relevance of BAG1

 

Psychiatry related information on BAG1

  • Additionally, these studies suggest that regulation of GR-mediated plasticity may play a role in the treatment of bipolar disorder and raise the possibility that agents affecting BAG-1 more directly may represent novel therapies for this devastating illness [5].
 

High impact information on BAG1

  • Bag (Bcl2-associated athanogene) domains occur in a class of cofactors of the eukaryotic chaperone 70-kilodalton heat shock protein (Hsp70) family [6].
  • Here we show that Bag1, a co-chaperone for heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70), coordinates signals for cell growth in response to cell stress, by downregulating the activity of Raf-1 kinase [7].
  • BAG-1, a shorter isoform with only a duplication of the [EEX(4)] sequence, does not inhibit GR activity [8].
  • We suggest that Siah-1A may be an important mediator of p53-dependent cell-cycle arrest and demonstrate that Siah-1A is directly inhibited by BAG-1 [9].
  • p53-inducible human homologue of Drosophila seven in absentia (Siah) inhibits cell growth: suppression by BAG-1 [9].

Regulatory relationships of BAG1

  • Thus, BAG-1 regulates the Hsc70 ATPase in a manner contrary to the Hsc70-interacting protein Hip, which stabilizes the ADP-bound state [22].
  • This effect was titratable, and higher levels of wild-type but not a mutant form of Bag1 further inhibited Hsp70 refolding by up to a factor of 5 [23].
  • In addition, because effects of BAG-1 on regulated secretion of soluble HB-EGF were also identified, this interaction has the potential to alter the signaling capabilities of both the membrane-anchored and the diffusible forms of the growth factor [18].
  • Over-expression of BAG-1 significantly inhibited p53-induced growth arrest in 293 cells without preventing p53 transactivation of reporter gene plasmids [9].
  • Here we show that BAG-1 is highly expressed in gastrointestinal epithelial cells and accumulates at the Golgi apparatus, probably through interaction with COPI coated structure [16].
 

Other interactions of BAG1

  • Here we show that BAG-1 is a regulator of the Hsc70 chaperone [22].
  • We reported previously the cloning of a bradyzoite-specific gene BAG1/hsp30 (previously referred to as BAG5) encoding a cytoplasmic antigen related to small heat shock proteins [15].
  • Both BAG-1 and BAG-3/CAIR-1 interact with Bcl-2 and have been shown to have a supra-additive anti-apoptotic effect with Bcl-2 [24].
  • Bag1 functions in vivo as a negative regulator of Hsp70 chaperone activity [23].
  • BAG-1 expression in hyperplastic and neoplastic prostate tissue: is there any relationship with BCL-related proteins and androgen receptor status [4]?
