Disease relevance of YDJ1

  • The 46-kDa protein YDJ1 is one of several known yeast homologues of the Escherichia coli DnaJ protein [1].
  • Hence, ZBDII is required for yeast to survive heat stress because it is essential for Ydj1 to cooperate with Hsp70 to suppress protein aggregation [2].
  • Mutations in genes encoding the molecular chaperones Hsp90 and Ydj1p suppress the toxicity of the protein tyrosine kinase p60v-src in yeast by reducing its levels or its kinase activity [3].
 

High impact information on YDJ1

 

Biological context of YDJ1

  • Haploid cells carrying the disrupted YDJ1 gene are inviable for growth in liquid media [6].
  • These results suggest that Ssa1p and Ydj1p chaperone activities play important roles in the regulation of microtubule formation in M phase [7].
  • In support of this idea, a ydj1 null mutant at the restrictive temperature was found to exhibit more prominent phenotypes than ssa1-134 [7].
  • The heat shock protein (Hsp) 70/Hsp40 chaperone system plays an essential role in cell physiology, but few of its in vivo functions are known [8].
  • Mutations in the yeast Hsp40 chaperone protein Ydj1 cause defects in Axl1 biogenesis and pro-a-factor processing [8].
 

Anatomical context of YDJ1

 

Associations of YDJ1 with chemical compounds

  • However, the Delta fes1 mutant showed increased cycloheximide sensitivity and a general translational defect, suggesting that Fes1p acts during protein translation, a process in which Ssa1p and Ydj1p are known to be involved [12].
  • In an otherwise wild-type background, the ydj1 mutation exerted strong and specific effects on three Hsp90 substrates, derepressing two (the estrogen and glucocorticoid receptors) and reducing the function of the third (the tyrosine kinase p60v-src) [5].
  • A role for the Hsp40 Ydj1 in repression of basal steroid receptor activity in yeast [13].
  • Glucocorticoid receptor containing a mutation in the carboxy-terminal transcriptional activation domain, AF-2, retained elevated basal activity, while mutation of the amino-terminal transactivation domain, AF-1, eliminated the elevated basal activity observed in ydj1 mutant strains [13].
  • A mutant form of YDJ1p, in which the conserved cysteine of the CaaX box is mutated to a serine (ydj1-S406p), cannot be farnesylated in vitro [14].
 

Regulatory relationships of YDJ1

  • In contrast, Ssa1p together with either of its Hsp40 cochaperones blocks Sup35p polymerization [15].
  • Collectively, these data indicate Ydj1p functions to promote AXL1 mRNA accumulation and in addition appears to facilitate the proper folding of nascent Axl1p [8].
  • The Hsp70-Ydj1 molecular chaperone represses the activity of the heme activator protein Hap1 in the absence of heme [16].
  • We observed that BiP, but not Ssa1p, is able to associate with GST-63Jp and that Ydj1p stimulates the ATPase activity of Ssa1p up to 10-fold but increases the ATPase activity of BiP by <2-fold [17].
  • The results suggest that Ydj1 inhibits Ure2 fibril formation by binding to the native state of Ure2, thus delaying the onset of oligomerization [18].
 

Other interactions of YDJ1

  • We further show that a related yeast protein, SIS1, is a multicopy suppressor of YDJ1 [6].
  • We show that Hsp104p greatly stimulates the assembly of Sup35p into fibrils, whereas Ydj1p has inhibitory effect [15].
  • In addition, a strain containing a single functional SSA gene, SSA1, and a deletion of YDJ1 accumulated the precursor form of alpha-factor [19].
  • First, AXL1 mRNA levels were reduced ydj1 strains [8].
  • We describe here our phenotypic analysis of two such mutants, hsf1-82 and ydj1-10, that affect the heat shock transcription factor and a yeast dnaj-like protein chaperone, respectively. hsf1-82 and ydj1-10 temperature-sensitive mutants arrest the cell division cycle at several stages [20].
