Description:
A 73-kilodalton (kD) intracellular protein was found to bind to peptide regions that target intracellular proteins for lysosomal degradation in response to serum withdrawal. This protein cross-reacted with a monoclonal antibody raised to a member of the 70-kD heat shock protein (hsp70) family, and sequences of two internal peptides of the 73-kD protein confirm that it is a member of this family. In response to serum withdrawal, the intracellular concentration of the 73-kD protein increased severalfold. In the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and MgCl2, the 73-kD protein enhanced protein degradation in two different cell-free assays for lysosomal proteolysis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Chiang, H L -- Terlecky, S R -- Plant, C P -- Dice, J F -- AG06116/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- DK07542/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Oct 20;246(4928):382-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physiology, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA 02111.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2799391" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
