Gusev 1,* 1 Department of Biochemistry, School of Biology, Moscow State University, Moscow 119991, Russian; [email protected] 2 Laboratory for Biocrystallography, Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, KU Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 May 2020; Accepted: 12 June 2020; Published: 15 June 2020 Abstract: Ubiquitously expressed human small heat shock proteins (sHsps) HspB1, HspB5, HspB6 and HspB8 contain a conserved motif (S/G)RLFD in their N-terminal domain. For each of them, we prepared mutants with a replacement of the conserved R by A (R/A mutants) and a complete deletion of the pentapeptide (D mutants) and analyzed their heterooligomerization with other wild-type (WT) human sHsps. We found that WT HspB1 and HspB5 formed heterooligomers with HspB6 only upon heating. In contrast, both HspB1 mutants interacted with WT HspB6 even at low temperature. HspB1/HspB6 heterooligomers revealed a broad size distribution with equimolar ratio suggestive of heterodimers as building blocks, while HspB5/HspB6 heterooligomers had an approximate 2:1 ratio. In contrast, R/A or D mutants of HspB6, when mixed with either HspB1 or HspB5, resulted in heterooligomers with a highly variable molar ratio and a decreased HspB6 incorporation. No heterooligomerization of HspB8 or its mutants with either HspB1 or HspB5 could be detected. Finally, R/A or D mutations had no effect on heterooligomerization of HspB1 and HspB5 as analyzed by ion exchange chromatography. We conclude that the conserved N-terminal motif plays an important role in heterooligomer formation, as especially pronounced in HspB6 lacking the C-terminal IXI motif. Keywords: small heat shock proteins; HspB1; HspB5; HspB6; HspB8; heterooligomerization 1. Introduction Small heat shock proteins (sHsp) form a large family of ubiquitously expressed proteins playing an important role in proteostasis [1–3]. Human genomes contains ten genes encoding sHsps [4,5] and four members (HspB1, HspB5, HspB6 and HspB8) of this large family are expressed in practically all human tissues [6,7]. In certain tissues (for instance, in skeletal muscles and heart), some of these proteins are simultaneously expressed at comparably high level, reaching up to 3–5% of the total soluble proteins [8]. Small heat shock proteins tend to form oligomers of various size [9,10]. In line with a considerable conservation of primary structure across different sHsps [11], they are capable of forming heterooligomeric complexes [12–14] which are structurally and functionally distinct from the corresponding homooligomers. The formation of heterooligomeric complexes formed by HspB1 and HspB5 [14,15], HspB5 and HspB6 [14,16–18], HspB8 and other sHsps [19,20] has been reported in the literature. The interaction of HspB1 and HspB6 and their ability to form heterooligomeric complexes has been analyzed especially rigorously [21–24]. Special attempts were undertaken in order to establish the formation of heterooligomeric complexes among all four ubiquitously expressed sHsps (HspB1, HspB5, HspB6, HspB8) [19,25,26]. Int. J. Mol.

Kraków, Poland 2University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Faculty of Biology, Animal Sciences and Bioeconomy, Akademicka 13, 20-950 Lublin, Poland The subject of the studies carried out was physical mapping of the HSPB1, HSPB2, CRY- AB (alternative name HSPB5), HSPB6 and HSPB8 genes from the family of small heat shock protein genes (HSPB) on chromosomes of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica) and European wild pig (Sus scrofa scrofa). The application of FISH technique with pro- bes derived from porcine BAC clones: CH242-237N5, CH242-333E2, CH242-173G9 and CH242-102C8 made it possible to determine the location of the studied genes, respectively, in 3p15, 9p21, 6q12 and 14q21 genome regions of domestic and wild pigs. The physical localization of HSPB genes allowed assigning these loci to the linkage and syntenic groups of genes in Suidae. Precise, molecular and cytogenetic identification of genes responsible for resistance to stress and disease, and determining meat production is essential for the genetic selection effects, aimed to reduce mortality causing significant economic loss in animal production. The studies performed may help to elucidate the role of the HSPB genes in protection against pathogenic or environmental stress, affecting pigs’ survivability and meat quality. Key words: Suidae, FISH, HSPB genes, muscle development, meat quality Small heat shock proteins (HSPB) are the smallest, most variable in size, class of the multigene heat shock protein (HSP) family, having molecular masses ranging approximately from 15 to 30 kDa and the α-crystallin domains (~85 amino acids residues) in the highly conserved C-terminal protein regions.

  • Genome-Wide DNA Methylation Map of Human Neutrophils Reveals Widespread Inter-Individual Epigenetic Variation
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide DNA methylation map of human neutrophils reveals widespread inter-individual Received: 15 June 2015 Accepted: 29 October 2015 epigenetic variation Published: 27 November 2015 Aniruddha Chatterjee1,2, Peter A. Stockwell3, Euan J. Rodger1, Elizabeth J. Duncan2,4, Matthew F. Parry5, Robert J. Weeks1 & Ian M. Morison1,2 The extent of variation in DNA methylation patterns in healthy individuals is not yet well documented. Identification of inter-individual epigenetic variation is important for understanding phenotypic variation and disease susceptibility. Using neutrophils from a cohort of healthy individuals, we generated base-resolution DNA methylation maps to document inter-individual epigenetic variation. We identified 12851 autosomal inter-individual variably methylated fragments (iVMFs). Gene promoters were the least variable, whereas gene body and upstream regions showed higher variation in DNA methylation. The iVMFs were relatively enriched in repetitive elements compared to non-iVMFs, and were associated with genome regulation and chromatin function elements. Further, variably methylated genes were disproportionately associated with regulation of transcription, responsive function and signal transduction pathways. Transcriptome analysis indicates that iVMF methylation at differentially expressed exons has a positive correlation and local effect on the inclusion of that exon in the mRNA transcript. Methylation of DNA is a mechanism for regulating gene function in all vertebrates. It has a role in gene silencing, tissue differentiation, genomic imprinting, chromosome X inactivation, phenotypic plasticity, and disease susceptibility1,2. Aberrant DNA methylation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sev- eral human diseases, especially cancer3–5. Variation in DNA methylation patterns in healthy individuals has been hypothesised to alter human phenotypes including susceptibility to common diseases6 and response to drug treatments7.

Abstract: Small heat shock proteins (HSPs), such as HSP27, are ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperones and are essential for cellular homeostasis. The major functions of HSP27 include chaper- oning misfolded or unfolded polypeptides and protecting cells from toxic stress. Dysregulation of stress proteins is associated with many human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is characterized by the presence of aggregates of α-synuclein in the central and peripheral nervous system, which induces the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and in the autonomic nervous system. Autonomic dys- function is an important non-motor phenotype of PD, which includes cardiovascular dysregulation, Citation: Navarro-Zaragoza, J.; among others. Nowadays, the therapies for PD focus on dopamine (DA) replacement.
