Hsf-1 (heat shock factor-1) is a transcription factor that is known to regulate cellular heat shock response through its binding with the multispecific transporter protein, Ralbp1. Results of present studies demonstrate that Hsf-1 causes specific and saturable inhibition of the transport activity of Ralbp1 and that the combination of Hsf-1 and POB1 causes nearly complete inhibition through specific bindings with Ralbp1. Augmentation of cellular levels of Hsf-1 and POB1 caused dramatic apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cell line H358 through Ralbp1 inhibition. These findings indicate a novel model for mutual regulation of Hsf-1 and Ralbp1 through Ralbp1-mediated sequestration of Hsf-1 in the cellular cytoskeleton and Hsf-1-mediated inhibition of the transport activity of membrane-bound Ralbp1.
热休克因子1(Hsf-1)是一种转录因子,已知它通过与多特异性转运蛋白Ralbp1结合来调节细胞热休克反应。目前的研究结果表明,Hsf-1对Ralbp1的转运活性具有特异性和饱和性抑制作用,并且Hsf-1与POB1的组合通过与Ralbp1的特异性结合导致几乎完全抑制。Hsf-1和POB1细胞水平的增加通过抑制Ralbp1在非小细胞肺癌细胞系H358中引起显著凋亡。这些发现表明了一种新的模型,即通过Ralbp1介导的Hsf-1在细胞骨架中的隔离以及Hsf-1介导的对膜结合Ralbp1转运活性的抑制,实现Hsf-1和Ralbp1的相互调节。
