Abstract: The folding of newly synthesized proteins and the maintenance of pre-existing proteins are essential in sustaining a living cell. A network of molecular chaperones tightly guides the folding, intracellular localization, and proteolytic turnover of proteins. Many of the key regulators of cell growth and differentiation have been identified as clients of molecular chaperones, which implies that chaperones are potential mediators of oncogenesis. In this review, we briefly provide an overview of the role of chaperones, including HSP70 and HSP90, in cancer. We further summarize and highlight the emerging the role of chaperonin TRiC (T-complex protein-1 ring complex, also known as CCT) in the development and progression of cancer mediated through its critical interactions with oncogenic clients that modulate growth deregulation, apoptosis, and genome instability in cancer cells. Elucidation of how TRiC modulates the folding and function of oncogenic clients will provide strategies for developing novel cancer therapies.

Molecular Chaperones and Oncogenesis Molecular chaperones constitute a major arm of the proteostasis network (Figure1); they play a central role in the maintenance of protein homeostasis through an intricate system of cooperative mechanisms that balance protein biosynthesis, folding, translocation, assembly/disassembly, and clearance [1,2]. Molecular chaperones are a diverse group of proteins that interact with and assist other proteins to properly attain functional conformation [3]. They can be classified into two mechanistic classes—chaperones that promote folding of non-native proteins by binding to and releasing their substrates into the bulk matrix of the cell and chaperones that promote folding by sequestering single protein molecules within a molecular cage (chaperonins). The former include most heat shock proteins (HSPs) whose expression is known to be up regulated in response to environmental stress, most prominently, HSP70 and HSP90. The eukaryotic chaperonin family includes the type I chaperonin, HSP60, and the type II hetero-oligomeric chaperonin, TRiC (T-complex protein-1 ring complex, also known as CCT). Chaperones often function as large protein complexes that include other proteins called co-chaperones. They are essential for cell survival as they protect against proteotoxic stress that may lead to protein misfolding and aggregation. The primary Int. J. Mol.

Role of Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) in Oncogenic Signaling Chaperone support and maintenance of oncogenic signaling pathways is integral to the biology of malignant tumor initiation and growth. For example, HSP90’s activity is necessary for the conformational stability and activity of many kinases, transcription factors and hormones most of which are known oncogenes or closely linked to oncogenic signaling pathways [18–20]. The cytoprotective qualities of the protein folding network and its ability to adaptively respond to environmental cues have been co-opted in cancer. Chaperones are essential in supporting events that induce malignant cell transformation such as mutations or increased expression of oncogenic proteins and play a crucial

Depending upon the shape, size, and charge, protein provides its functional role in diferent parts of the cell. Therefore, understanding to the knowledge of their molecular weight and charges is (pI) is very important. Therefore, we conducted a proteome‑wide analysis of protein sequences of 689 fungal species (7.15 million protein sequences) and construct a virtual 2‑D map of the fungal proteome. The analysis of the constructed map revealed the presence of a bimodal distribution of fungal proteomes. The molecular mass of individual fungal proteins ranged from 0.202 to 2546.166 kDa and the predicted isoelectric point (pI) ranged from 1.85 to 13.759 while average molecular weight of fungal proteome was 50.98 kDa. A non‑ribosomal peptide synthase (RFU80400.1) found in Trichoderma arundinaceum was identifed as the largest protein in the fungal kingdom. The collective fungal proteome is dominated by the presence of acidic rather than basic pI proteins and Leu is the most abundant amino acid while Cys is the least abundant amino acid. Aspergillus ustus encodes the highest percentage (76.62%) of acidic pI proteins while Nosema ceranae was found to encode the highest percentage (66.15%) of basic pI proteins. Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine amino acids were not found in any of the analysed fungal proteomes.

ALWINE* Department of Microbiology, School of Medicine/G2, UnivSersity of Pennsylvania, Phtiladelphia, Pennsylvania /9104 Received 3 April 1984/Accepted 8 May 1984 The hexanucleotide AAUAAA has been demonstrated to be part of the signal for cleavage and polyadenyla- tion at appropriate sites on eucaryotic mRNA precursors. Since this sequence is not unique to polyadenylation sites, it cannot be the entire signal for the cleavage event. We have extended the definition of the polyadenylation cleavage signal by examining the cleavage event at the site of polyadenylation for the simian virus 40 late mRNAs. Using viable mutants, we have determined that deletion of sequences between 3 and 60 nucleotides on the 3' side of the AAUAAA decreases the efficiency of utilization of the normal polyadenylation site. These data strongly indicate a second major element of the polyadenylation signal. The phenotype of these deletion mutants is an enrichment of viral late transcripts longer than the normally polyadenylated RNA in infected cells. These extended transcripts appear to have an increased half-life due to the less efficient cleavage at the normal polyadenylation site. The enriched levels of extended transcripts in cells infected with the deletion mutants allowed us to examine regions of the late transcript which normally are difficult to study. The extended transcripts have several discrete 3' ends which we have analyzed in relation to polyadenylation and other RNA processing events.

We previously identified an HSR regulatory network in stress response Caenorhabditis elegans consisting of highly conserved genes that have important cellular roles in main- protein folding taining proteostasis. Unexpectedly, the effects of these genes on the HSR are distinctly tissue-specific. Here, proteostasis we explore this apparent discrepancy and find that muscle-specific regulation of the HSR by the TRiC/CCT HSF1 chaperonin is not driven by an enrichment of TRiC/CCT in muscle, but rather by the levels of one of its most heat shock abundant substrates, actin. Knockdown of actin subunits reduces induction of the HSR in muscle upon TRiC/ response CCT knockdown; conversely, overexpression of an actin subunit sensitizes the intestine so that it induces the HSR upon TRiC/CCT knockdown. Similarly, intestine-specific HSR regulation by the signal recognition particle (SRP), a component of the secretory pathway, is driven by the vitellogenins, some of the most abundant secretory proteins. Together, these data indicate that the specific protein folding requirements from the unique cellular proteomes sensitizes each tissue to disruption of distinct subsets of the proteostasis network. These findings are relevant for tissue-specific, HSR-associated human diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
