As a protein-quality-control hub, HSPA1A recruits the 26S proteasome to translating ribosomes during acute heat stress and, with co-chaperones HSPH1 and DNAJB1, keeps ubiquitylated nascent proteins soluble for proteasomal clearance during thermotolerance [PMID:34010456]; it also suppresses aggregation of amyloidogenic clients such as islet amyloid polypeptide [PMID:26960140]. It maintains genomic stability and facilitates DNA repair, with knockout cells showing chromosome aberrations, radioresistant DNA synthesis, and enhanced transformation [PMID:14701760], a repair role linked to direct interaction with and stimulation of casein kinase 2 [PMID:23979991]. At the lysosome, HSPA1A binds the anionic lipid bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) through its lipid-binding domain to enhance acid sphingomyelinase activity and stabilize the lysosomal membrane; oxidative carbonylation by HNE renders it susceptible to mu-calpain cleavage, and loss of intact HSPA1A precipitates lysosomal rupture and neuronal death [PMID:20171158, PMID:25074941]. HSPA1A embeds in anionic phospholipid membranes via its nucleotide-binding domain and translocates to the plasma membrane through selective interaction with phosphatidylserine [PMID:26342809, PMID:30999671]. It blocks the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by limiting cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation [PMID:15243143] and acts cytoprotectively through Wnt/β-catenin signaling [PMID:36538982]. Extracellularly, HSPA1A engages innate-immune receptors TLR2/TLR4 and modulates NF-κB-dependent inflammatory output [PMID:22115967, PMID:29445009].

Plays a pivotal role in the protein quality control system, ensuring the correct folding of proteins, the re-folding of misfolded proteins and controlling the targeting of proteins for subsequent degradation. This is achieved through cycles of ATP binding, ATP hydrolysis and ADP release, mediated by co-chaperones. The co-chaperones have been shown to not only regulate different steps of the ATPase cycle, but they also have an individual specificity such that one co-chaperone may promote folding of a substrate while another may promote degradation. The affinity for polypeptides is regulated by its nucleotide bound state. In the ATP-bound form, it has a low affinity for substrate proteins. However, upon hydrolysis of the ATP to ADP, it undergoes a conformational change that increases its affinity for substrate proteins. It goes through repeated cycles of ATP hydrolysis and nucleotide exchange, which permits cycles of substrate binding and release. The co-chaperones are of three types: J-domain co-chaperones such as HSP40s (stimulate ATPase hydrolysis by HSP70), the nucleotide exchange factors (NEF) such as BAG1/2/3 (facilitate conversion of HSP70 from the ADP-bound to the ATP-bound state thereby promoting substrate release), and the TPR domain chaperones such as HOPX and STUB1 (PubMed:24012426, PubMed:24318877, PubMed:26865365). Maintains protein homeostasis during cellular stress through two opposing mechanisms: protein refolding and degradation. Its acetylation/deacetylation state determines whether it functions in protein refolding or protein degradation by controlling the competitive binding of co-chaperones HOPX and STUB1. During the early stress response, the acetylated form binds to HOPX which assists in chaperone-mediated protein refolding, thereafter, it is deacetylated and binds to ubiquitin ligase STUB1 that promotes ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation (PubMed:27708256). Regulates centrosome integrity during mitosis, and is required for the maintenance of a functional mitotic centrosome that supports the assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle (PubMed:27137183). Enhances STUB1-mediated SMAD3 ubiquitination and degradation and facilitates STUB1-mediated inhibition of TGF-beta signaling (PubMed:24613385). Essential for STUB1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of FOXP3 in regulatory T-cells (Treg) during inflammation (PubMed:23973223). Required as a co-chaperone for optimal STUB1/CHIP ubiquitination of NFATC3 (By similarity). Negatively regulates heat shock-induced HSF1 transcriptional activity during the attenuation and recovery phase period of the heat shock response (PubMed:9499401). Involved in the clearance of misfolded PRDM1/Blimp-1 proteins. Sequesters them in the cytoplasm and promotes their association with SYNV1/HRD1, leading to proteasomal degradation (PubMed:28842558) (Microbial infection) In case of rotavirus A infection, serves as

As a protein-quality-control hub, HSPA1A recruits the 26S proteasome to translating ribosomes during acute heat stress and, with co-chaperones HSPH1 and DNAJB1, keeps ubiquitylated nascent proteins soluble for proteasomal clearance during thermotolerance [#9]; it also suppresses aggregation of amyloidogenic clients such as islet amyloid polypeptide [#30].
