sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. ScHsp26 is temperature-regulated, it switches from an inactive to a chaperone-active form upon elevation in temperature. It associates into large 24-mers storage forms which upon heat shock disassociate into dimers. These dimers initiate the interaction with non-native substrate proteins and re-assemble into large globular assemblies having one monomer of substrate bound per dimer. This group also contains Arabidopsis thaliana (Ath) Hsp15.7, a peroxisomal matrix protein which can complement the morphological phenotype of S. cerevisiae mutants deficient in Hsps26. AthHsp15.7 is minimally expressed under normal conditions and is strongly induced by heat and oxidative stress. Also belonging to this group is wheat HSP16.9 which differs in quaternary structure from the shell-type particles of ScHsp26, it assembles as a dodecameric double disc, with each disc organized as a trimer of dimers.

IbpA and IbpB are 16 kDa small heat shock proteins (sHsps). sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. IbpA and IbpB are produced during high-level production of various heterologous proteins, specifically human prorenin, renin and bovine insulin-like growth factor 2 (bIGF-2), and are strongly associated with inclusion bodies containing these heterologous proteins. IbpA and IbpB work as an integrated system to stabilize thermally aggregated proteins in a disaggregation competent state. The chaperone activity of IbpB is also significantly elevated as the temperature increases from normal to heat shock. The high temperature results in the disassociation of 2-3-MDa IbpB oligomers into smaller approximately 600-kDa structures. This elevated activity seen under heat shock conditions is retained for an extended period of time after the temperature is returned to normal. IbpA also forms multimers. Length = 90

>cd06476 ACD_HspB2_like Alpha crystallin domain (ACD) found in mammalian small heat shock protein (sHsp) HspB2/heat shock 27kDa protein 2 and similar proteins
sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. HspB2 is preferentially and constitutively expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. HspB2 shows homooligomeric activity and forms aggregates in muscle cytosol. Although its expression is not induced by heat shock, it redistributes to the insoluble fraction in response to heat shock. In the mouse heart, HspB2 plays a role in maintaining energetic balance, by protecting cardiac energetics during ischemia/reperfusion, and allowing for increased work during acute inotropic challenge. hHspB2 [previously also known as myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) binding protein (MKBP)] is selectively up-regulated in skeletal muscles from myotonic dystrophy patients.
sHsps are small stress induced proteins with monomeric masses between 12 -43 kDa, whose common feature is the Alpha-crystallin domain (ACD). sHsps are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits, and are believed to be ATP-independent chaperones that prevent aggregation and are important in refolding in combination with other Hsps.

>cd06477 ACD_HspB3_Like Alpha crystallin domain (ACD) found in mammalian HspB3, also known as heat-shock protein 27-like protein (HSPL27, 17-kDa) and similar proteins
sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. HspB3 is expressed in adult skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and heart, and in several other fetal tissues. In muscle cells HspB3 forms an oligomeric 150 kDa complex with myotonic dystrophy protein kinase-binding protein (MKBP/ HspB2), this complex may comprise one of two independent muscle-cell specific chaperone systems. The expression of HspB3 is induced during muscle differentiation controlled by the myogenic factor MyoD. HspB3 may also interact with Hsp22 (HspB8).
>KOG0710 consensus Molecular chaperone (small heat-shock protein Hsp26/Hsp42) [Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones]
6 KDa small heat shock protein (sHsp) HspB8, also denoted as Hsp22 in humans, and similar proteins. sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. A chaperone complex formed of HspB8 and Bag3 stimulates degradation of protein complexes by macroautophagy. HspB8 also forms complexes with Hsp27 (HspB1), MKBP (HspB2), HspB3, alphaB-crystallin (HspB5), Hsp20 (HspB6), and cvHsp (HspB7). These latter interactions may depend on phosphorylation of the respective partner sHsp. HspB8 may participate in the regulation of cell proliferation, cardiac hypertrophy, apoptosis, and carcinogenesis. Point mutations in HspB8 have been correlated with the development of several congenital neurological diseases, including Charcot Marie tooth disease and distal motor neuropathy type II.

>cd00298 ACD_sHsps_p23-like This domain family includes the alpha-crystallin domain (ACD) of alpha-crystallin-type small heat shock proteins (sHsps) and a similar domain found in p23-like proteins
sHsps are small stress induced proteins with monomeric masses between 12 -43 kDa, whose common feature is this ACD. sHsps are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits, and are believed to be ATP-independent chaperones that prevent aggregation and are important in refolding in combination with other Hsps. p23 is a cochaperone of the Hsp90 chaperoning pathway. It binds Hsp90 and participates in the folding of a number of Hsp90 clients including the progesterone receptor. p23 also has a passive chaperoning activity. p23 in addition may act as the cytosolic prostaglandin E2 synthase. Included in this family is the p23-like C-terminal CHORD-SGT1 (CS) domain of suppressor of G2 allele of Skp1 (Sgt1) and the p23-like domains of human butyrate-induced transcript 1 (hB-ind
>cd06469 p23_DYX1C1_like p23_like domain found in proteins similar to dyslexia susceptibility 1 (DYX1) candidate 1 (C1) protein, DYX1C1
The human gene encoding this protein is a positional candidate gene for developmental dyslexia (DD), it is located on 15q21.3 by the DYX1 DD susceptibility locus (15q15-21). Independent association studies have reported conflicting results. However, association of short-term memory, which plays a role in DD, with a variant within the DYX1C1 gene has been reported. Most proteins belonging to this group contain a C-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) protein binding region.
>PF05455 GvpH: GvpH; InterPro: IPR008633 This family consists of archaeal GvpH proteins which are thought to be involved in gas vesicle synthesis []
Both are co-chaperones for the heat shock protein (Hsp) 90. p23 binds Hsp90 and participates in the folding of a number of Hsp90 clients, including the progesterone receptor. p23 also has a passive chaperoning activity and in addition may participate in prostaglandin synthesis. Both p23 and Sba1p can regulate telomerase activity. This group includes domains similar to the C-terminal CHORD-SGT1 (CS) domain of suppressor of G2 allele of Skp1 (Sgt1). Sgt1 interacts with multiple protein complexes and has the features of a co-chaperone. Human (h) Sgt1 interacts with both Hsp70 and Hsp90, and has been shown to bind Hsp90 through its CS domain. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) Sgt1 is a subunit of both core kinetochore and SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box) ubiquitin ligase complexes. Sgt1 is required for pathogen resistance in plants. This group also includes the p23_like domains of
>cd06466 p23_CS_SGT1_like p23_like domain similar to the C-terminal CHORD-SGT1 (CS) domain of Sgt1 (suppressor of G2 allele of Skp1)
Sgt1 interacts with multiple protein complexes and has the features of a cochaperone. Human (h) Sgt1 interacts with both Hsp70 and Hsp90, and has been shown to bind Hsp90 through its CS domain. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) Sgt1 is a subunit of both core kinetochore and SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box) ubiquitin ligase complexes. Sgt1 is required for pathogen resistance in plants. ScSgt1 is needed for the G1/S and G2/M cell-cycle transitions, and for assembly of the core kinetochore complex (CBF3) via activation of Ctf13, the F-box protein. Binding of Hsp82 (a yeast Hsp90 homologue) to ScSgt1, promotes the binding of Sgt1 to Skp1 and of Skp1 to Ctf13. Some proteins in this group have an SGT1-specific (SGS) domain at the extreme C-terminus. The ScSgt1-SGS domain binds adenylate cyclase. The hSgt1-SGS domain interacts with some S100 family proteins, and studies sug
>PF04969 CS: CS domain; InterPro: IPR017447 The function of the CS domain is unknown
The CS domain is sometimes found C-terminal to the CHORD domain (IPR007051 from INTERPRO) in metazoan proteins, but occurs separately from the CHORD domain in plants. This association is thought to be indicative of an functional interaction between CS and CHORD domains [].; PDB: 1WGV_A 2KMW_A 2O30_B 1WH0_A 1EJF_A 2RH0_B 1RL1_A 2CR0_A 1WFI_A 2XCM_D ....
>cd06465 p23_hB-ind1_like p23_like domain found in human (h) butyrate-induced transcript 1 (B-ind1) and similar proteins
hB-ind1 participates in signaling by the small GTPase Rac1. It binds to Rac1 and enhances different Rac1 effects including activation of nuclear factor (NF) kappaB and activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). hB-ind1 also plays a part in the RNA replication and particle production of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) through its interaction with heat shock protein Hsp90, HCV nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A), and the immunophilin FKBP8. hB-ind1 is upregulated in the outer layer of Chinese hamster V79 cells grown as multicell spheroids, versus in the same cells grown as monolayers. This group includes the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sba1, a co-chaperone of the Hsp90. Sba1 has been shown to be is required for telomere length maintenance, and may modulate telomerase DNA-binding activity.
hSgt1 is a co-chaperone which has been shown to be elevated in HEp-2 cells as a result of stress conditions such as heat shock. It interacts with the heat shock proteins (HSPs) Hsp70 and Hsp90, and it expression pattern is synchronized with these two Hsps. The interaction with HSP90 has been shown to involve the hSgt1_CS domain, and appears to be required for correct kinetochore assembly and efficient cell division. Some proteins in this subgroup contain a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) HSP-binding domain N-terminal to this CS domain, and most proteins in this subgroup contain a Sgt1-specific (SGS) domain C-terminal to the CS domain. The SGS domain interacts with some S100 family proteins. Studies suggest that S100A6 modulates in a Ca2+ dependent manner the interactions of hSgt1 with Hsp90 and Hsp70. The yeast Sgt1 CS domain is not found in this subgroup.
>cd06467 p23_NUDC_like p23_like domain of NUD (nuclear distribution) C and similar proteins
Aspergillus nidulas (An) NUDC is needed for nuclear movement. AnNUDC is localized at the hyphal cortex, and binds NUDF at spindle pole bodies (SPBs) and in the cytoplasm at different stages in the cell cycle. At the SPBs it is part of the dynein molecular motor/NUDF complex that regulates microtubule dynamics. Mammalian(m) NUDC associates both with the dynein complex and also with an anti-inflammatory enzyme, platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase I, PAF-AH(I) complex, through binding mNUDF, the regulatory beta subunit of PAF-AH(I). mNUDC is important for cell proliferation both in normal and tumor tissues. Its expression is elevated in various cell types undergoing mitosis or stimulated to proliferate, with high expression levels observed in leukemic cells and tumors. For a leukemic cell line, human NUDC was shown to activate the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor (Mpl) by binding to its ext
>cd06468 p23_CacyBP p23_like domain found in proteins similar to Calcyclin-Binding Protein(CacyBP)/Siah-1-interacting protein (SIP)
CacyBP/SIP interacts with S100A6 (calcyclin), with some other members of the S100 family, with tubulin, and with Siah-1 and Skp-1. The latter two are components of the ubiquitin ligase that regulates beta-catenin degradation. The beta-catenin gene is an oncogene participating in tumorigenesis in many different cancers. Overexpression of CacyBP/SIP, in part through its effect on the expression of beta-catenin, inhibits the proliferation, tumorigenicity, and invasion of gastric cancer cells. CacyBP/SIP is abundant in neurons and neuroblastoma NB2a cells. An extensive re-organization of microtubules accompanies the differentiation of NB2a cells. CacyBP/SIP may contribute to NB2a cell differentiation through binding to and increasing the oligomerization of tubulin. CacyBP/SIP is also implicated in differentiation of erythroid cells, rat neonatal cardiomyocytes
>cd06488 p23_melusin_like p23_like domain similar to the C-terminal (tail) domain of vertebrate Melusin and related proteins
Melusin's tail domain interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of beta1-A and beta1-D isoforms of beta1 integrin, it does not bind other integrin beta subunits. Melusin is a muscle-specific protein expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles but not in smooth muscle or other tissues. It is needed for heart hypertrophy following mechanical overload. The integrin-binding portion of this domain appears to be sequestered in the full length melusin protein, Ca2+ may modulate the protein's conformation exposing this binding site. This group includes Chordc1, also known as Chp-1, which is conserved from vertebrates to humans. Mammalian Chordc1 interacts with the heat shock protein (HSP) Hsp90 and is implicated in circadian and/or homeostatic mechanisms in the brain. The N-terminal portions of proteins belonging to this group contain two cysteine and histidine rich domain (C

Mammalian(m) NUDC associates both with the dynein complex and also with an anti-inflammatory enzyme, platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase I, PAF-AH(I) complex, through binding mNUDF, the regulatory beta subunit of PAF-AH(I). mNUDC is important for cell proliferation both in normal and tumor tissues. Its expression is elevated in various cell types undergoing mitosis or stimulated to proliferate, with high expression levels observed in leukemic cells and tumors. For a leukemic cell line, human NUDC was shown to activate the thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor (Mpl) by binding to its extracellular domain, and promoting cell proliferation and differentiation.
>cd06495 p23_NUDCD3_like p23-like NUD (nuclear distribution) C-like domain found in human NUDC domain-containing protein 3 (NUDCD3) and similar proteins
NCB5OR is widely expressed in human organs and tissues and is localized in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). It appears to play a critical role in maintaining viable pancreatic beta cells. Mice homozygous for a targeted knockout (KO) of the gene encoding NCB5OR develop an early-onset nonautoimmune diabetes phenotype with a non-inflammatory beta-cell deficiency. The role of NCB5OR in beta cells may be in maintaining or regulating their redox status. Proteins in this group in addition contain an N-terminal cytochrome b5 domain and a C-terminal cytochrome b5 oxidoreductase domain. The gene encoding NCB5OR has been considered as a positional candidate for type II diabetes and other diabetes subtypes related to B-cell dysfunction, however variation in its coding region does not appear not to be a major contributor to the pathogenesis of these diseases.

sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. HspB3 is expressed in adult skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and heart, and in several other fetal tissues. In muscle cells HspB3 forms an oligomeric 150 kDa complex with myotonic dystrophy protein kinase-binding protein (MKBP/ HspB2), this complex may comprise one of two independent muscle-cell specific chaperone systems. The expression of HspB3 is induced during muscle differentiation controlled by the myogenic factor MyoD. HspB3 may also interact with Hsp22 (HspB8).
>cd06476 ACD_HspB2_like Alpha crystallin domain (ACD) found in mammalian small heat shock protein (sHsp) HspB2/heat shock 27kDa protein 2 and similar proteins
sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. HspB2 is preferentially and constitutively expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. HspB2 shows homooligomeric activity and forms aggregates in muscle cytosol. Although its expression is not induced by heat shock, it redistributes to the insoluble fraction in response to heat shock. In the mouse heart, HspB2 plays a role in maintaining energetic balance, by protecting cardiac energetics during ischemia/reperfusion, and allowing for increased work during acute inotropic challenge. hHspB2 [previously also known as myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) binding protein (MKBP)] is selectively up-regulated in skeletal muscles from myotonic dystrophy patients.

>cd06470 ACD_IbpA-B_like Alpha-crystallin domain (ACD) found in Escherichia coli inclusion body-associated proteins IbpA and IbpB, and similar proteins
IbpA and IbpB are 16 kDa small heat shock proteins (sHsps). sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. IbpA and IbpB are produced during high-level production of various heterologous proteins, specifically human prorenin, renin and bovine insulin-like growth factor 2 (bIGF-2), and are strongly associated with inclusion bodies containing these heterologous proteins. IbpA and IbpB work as an integrated system to stabilize thermally aggregated proteins in a disaggregation competent state. The chaperone activity of IbpB is also significantly elevated as the temperature increases from normal to heat shock. The high temperature results in the disassociation of 2-3-MDa IbpB oligomers into smaller approximately 6

sHsps are molecular chaperones that suppress protein aggregation and protect against cell stress, and are generally active as large oligomers consisting of multiple subunits. HspB7 is a 25-kDa protein, preferentially expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. It binds the cytoskeleton protein alpha-filamin (also known as actin-binding protein 280). The expression of HspB7 is increased during rat muscle aging. Its expression is also modulated in obesity implicating this protein in this and related metabolic disorders. As the human gene encoding HspB7 is mapped to chromosome 1p36.23-p34.3 it is a positional candidate for several dystrophies and myopathies.
