A member 1A of heat shock protein 70 family (HSPA1A, classical HSP70) is a stress-induced cytoplasmic molecular chaperone without intron encoded by HSPA 1A gene. The protein exists widely in the cytoplasm and nucleus of almost all cells in human body, and its expression level will be significantly increased under the conditions of heat shock, oxidative damage, endoplasmic reticulum protein toxic stress and chemotherapy stimulation. Different from the continuous expression of housekeeper molecular chaperone HSC70, the transcription process of HSPA1A is strictly regulated by heat shock transcription factor 1(HSF1) under stress stimulation. Its protein structure contains N-terminal ATPase domain and C-terminal hydrophobic peptide binding pocket, which can mediate polypeptide folding, misfolded protein renaturation and toxic protein aggregation removal in ATP-dependent manner. In the physiological state without stress, the basic expression level of HSPA1A is extremely low to avoid unnecessary energy loss of cells. When cells encounter protein toxic damage or chemotherapy intervention, HSPA1A will induce a large number of expressions, inhibit the activation of apoptosis cascade, stabilize the signal proteins that promote survival, and reduce the accumulation of toxic protein aggregates. Tumor cells can maintain a high level of HSPA1A to resist cell death caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which is one of the core mechanisms of tumor drug resistance. The stress-specific cytoprotective molecular chaperone function of HSPA1A cannot be completely compensated by other constitutively expressed Hsp70 subtypes. Blocking the function of HSPA1A by gene knockout or drug inhibition can significantly enhance the sensitivity of cells to protein toxicity damage and enhance the response effect of tumor cells against tumor therapy, which also makes HSPA1A an important research target for cell stress protein homeostasis research and molecular chaperone targeted anti-tumor compound screening.
HSPA1A can play the role of ATP-driven circulating molecular chaperone in cytoplasm and nucleus, and dynamically regulate the binding affinity with substrate polypeptide in the process of nucleotide exchange cycle by relying on the allosteric interaction between ATPase domain and substrate binding domain. Its stress-triggered expression feature clearly distinguishes it from constitutive HSC70, granting exclusive injury protective effects to damaged cells. HSPA1A-mediated protein quality control balances cellular stress tolerance and tumor apoptotic threshold based on external toxic stimulus intensity. HSPA1A participates in nascent polypeptide maturation, misfolded protein clearance and carcinoma chemoresistance regulation. Deficient HSPA1A expression completely eliminates endogenous proteotoxic stress buffering capacity. Therefore, HSPA1A represents a pivotal research target for stress chaperone biology and tumor compound screening.
