HIKESHI also known as C11orf73 functions as a nuclear import carrier for the heat shock protein Hsp70 under stress conditions. This protein weighs approximately 24 kDa and is widely expressed in various human tissues with higher concentrations in the brain testis and liver. Its role involves binding to Hsp70 enabling its translocation into the nucleus where it assists in cell survival during and after thermal and other stress conditions.
Biological function summary
HIKESHI engages in protecting cells from proteotoxic stress by ensuring the proper functioning of Hsp70 which is not bound to other co-chaperones. It does not heterodimerize but operates independently to import Hsp70 into the nucleus. This nuclear import contributes to cellular homeostasis and stress response mechanisms enhancing the cell's ability to manage damaged proteins and stress-induced protein aggregation.
Pathways
HIKESHI participates in cellular stress response and protein folding pathways. This action connects it with proteins involved in the importin beta pathway which contains various nucleocytoplasmic transport mechanisms. HIKESHI shares functional relationships with importin proteins emphasizing its specialized role in ensuring that only specific proteins like Hsp70 access the nuclear compartment during stress states.
HIKESHI influences conditions related to stress responses and degenerative diseases. Dysregulation of HIKESHI can lead to impaired cellular stress responses which are implicated in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and other protein misfolding diseases. It has connections with other chaperone-related proteins like those mutated in familial Alzheimer's linking it to broader pathways of cellular stress management and neuroprotection.
