The β sheet subdomain consists of stranded β sheets with upward protruding loops, as a typical β barrel, which enclose the peptide backbone of the substrate. Substrate binding domain – is composed of a 15 kDa β sheet subdomain and a 10 kDa helical subdomain. ![]() The exchange of ATP and ADP leads to conformational changes in the other two domains. The NBD (nucleotide binding domain) consists of two lobes with a deep cleft between them, at the bottom of which nucleotide (ATP and ADP) binds. N-terminal ATPase domain – binds ATP ( Adenosine triphosphate) and hydrolyzes it to ADP ( Adenosine diphosphate).The Hsp70 proteins have three major functional domains: Hsp70, heat shock protein 70 kDa NBD, N‐terminal nucleotide‐binding domain SBD, substrate binding domain at C‐terminal. (c) Secondary structures of Hsp70 virtualized using VMD 1.9.1 software. (b) the complete amino acid sequence of human Hsp70 (UniProtKB identifier: P0DMV8) as a major stress‐inducible member of the Hsp70 family. EEVD‐motif participates in binding to co‐chaperones and other HSPs. The NBD contains the ATP/ADP pocket that binds and The SBD contains a substrate‐binding pocket that interacts with extended polypeptides as substrate, an α‐helical subdomain from the C‐terminal side of SBD forms a flexible lid. The Hsp70s consist of two high conserved functional domains including an NBD and a C‐terminal substrate‐binding domain (SBD), also an EEVD‐motif at C‐terminal. Structure (a) The Hsp70s schematic domains. This was later described as the "Heat Shock Response" and the proteins were termed the "Heat Shock Proteins" (Hsps). When examining the chromosomes, Ritossa found a "puffing pattern" that indicated the elevated gene transcription of an unknown protein. Heat shock was originally discovered by Ferruccio Ritossa in the 1960s when a lab worker accidentally boosted the incubation temperature of Drosophila (fruit flies). Members of the Hsp70 family are very strongly upregulated by heat stress and toxic chemicals, particularly heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, copper, mercury, etc. Additionally, membrane-bound Hsp70s have been identified as a potential target for cancer therapies and their extracellularly localized counterparts have been identified as having both membrane-bound and membrane-free structures. Intracellularly localized Hsp70s are an important part of the cell's machinery for protein folding, performing chaperoning functions, and helping to protect cells from the adverse effects of physiological stresses. Proteins with similar structure exist in virtually all living organisms. ![]() The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins ( Hsp70s or DnaK) are a family of conserved ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. This imbalance leads to disease progression. The protective intracellular HSP70 is decreased whereas the levels of inflammatory extracellular HSP70 is increased. Schematic diagram highlighting the role of HSP70 in pathologies. Structure of the ATPase fragment of a 70K heat-shock cognate protein. ![]()
