Heat shock protein Hsp20 is a family of heat shock proteins. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms respond to heat shock or other environmental stress by inducing the synthesis of proteins collectively known as heat-shock proteins (hsp).[2] Amongst them is a family of proteins with an average molecular weight of 20 kDa, known as the hsp20 proteins.[3] These seem to act as protein chaperones that can protect other proteins against heat-induced denaturation and aggregation. Hsp20 proteins seem to form large heterooligomeric aggregates. Structurally, this family is characterised by the presence of a conserved C-terminal domain, alpha-crystallin domain, of about 100 residues. Recently, small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) were found in marine viruses (cyanophages).[4]

Function and Regulation

edit

Hsp20, like all heat shock proteins, is in abundance when cells are under stressed conditions [5]. Hsp20 is known to be expressed in many human tissues, including the brain and heart [6]. Hsp20 has been studied extensively in cardiac myocytes and is know to act as a chaperon protein, binding to protein kinase 1 (PDK1) and allowing its nuclear transport [7]. In addition, the phosphorylation of hsp20 has been shown to effect the structure of cells cytoskeletons. [8]. Due to hsp20 commonly forming dimers with itself when heated, its function of chaperoning can be greatly affected [9].
