Sequential interplay between BAG6 and HSP70 upon heat shock

A Corduan et al. Cell Mol Life Sci. 2009 Jun.

Abstract

BAG6/Scythe/Bat3 is a cochaperone of the heat shock protein HSP70 and is involved in various developmental processes, cellular stress and viability. BAG6 interferes with the protein-refolding activity of HSP70 but its precise involvement in proteotoxic stresses remains unknown. We show that BAG6 is required for the accumulation of HSP70 upon heat shock and that conversely, once accumulated, HSP70 leads to the massive and CHIP-independent degradation of BAG6 through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. These reciprocal influences between BAG6 and HSP70 upon heat shock suggest that BAG6 is a central regulator of the cellular content of HSP70. The HSP70-driven degradation of BAG6, following the BAG6-dependent accumulation of HSP70, could allow the protein-refolding activity of HSP70 and limit the extent of its induction.
