Crystal structure of HspBP1 alone and in complex with the Hsp70 ATPase domain reveals an armadillo-repeat fold whose concave face embraces lobe II of the ATPase domain; steric conflict displaces lobe I, reducing nucleotide affinity — a mechanism distinct from BAG-1 or GrpE, which instead trigger a conformational change in lobe II. |

HspBP1 is a nucleotide exchange factor (NEF) for Hsc70; it promotes nucleotide dissociation from both yeast Ssa1p and mammalian Hsc70 in vitro, establishing it as a member of the eukaryotic NEF family homologous to yeast Fes1p. |

HspBP1 has two structural domains: an N-terminal largely unstructured domain I (aa 1–83) and a helical domain II (aa 84–359). Domain II is sufficient to bind Hsp70 and alter the conformation of the Hsp70 ATPase domain; domain I enhances both functions. |

Yeast Fes1 (ortholog of HspBP1) acts as a cytosolic triaging factor that selectively interacts with misfolded proteins bound to Hsp70 and triggers their release; in the absence of Fes1, misfolded proteins fail to undergo polyubiquitylation, aggregate, and induce a strong heat-shock response. |

Fes1 and HspBP1 each contain a flexible N-terminal release domain (RD) with substrate-mimicking properties; the RD contacts the Hsp70 substrate-binding domain and competes with peptide substrate for binding, ensuring efficient release of persistent substrates. The armadillo domain triggers nucleotide exchange while the RD drives substrate release. |

The FES1 transcript is alternatively spliced at its 3' end to produce two isoforms: Fes1L (targeted to the nucleus, the first identified nuclear Hsp70 NEF) and Fes1S (cytosolic). Fes1S is essential for proteasomal degradation of misfolded proteins and proteostasis; Fes1L localizes to the nucleus but cannot substitute for cytosolic Fes1S function. |

HSPBP1 inhibits CHIP-mediated ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of inducible HSP70 family members (HSPA1L and HSPA2) in testes, thereby stabilizing these chaperones at the posttranslational level. Loss of HSPBP1 in mice leads to impaired meiosis and spermatocyte apoptosis due to reduced HSPA1L and HSPA2 levels. |

The inhibitory effect of HspBP1 on Hsp70-dependent protein folding can be reversed by the cooperative action of both Hsp40 and TPR1 together; neither cochaperone alone is sufficient to dissociate the Hsp70-HspBP1 complex. |

Fes1 undergoes reversible methionine oxidation at a cluster of three methionine residues in its core armadillo domain under oxidizing conditions; this oxidation inhibits NEF activity and consequently alters Hsp70 chaperone activity. Oxidation is reversed by cytoplasmic methionine sulfoxide reductases Mxr1 (MsrA) and Mxr2 (MsrB). |

HspBP1 antagonizes the prosurvival function of Hsp70 by interfering with Hsp70-mediated stabilization of lysosomal membranes; ectopic HspBP1 promotes lysosomal membrane permeabilization, cathepsin release into cytosol, and caspase-3 activation in response to anticancer drugs, in a manner dependent on its ability to bind Hsp70. |

HspBP1 is an integral component of cytoplasmic stress granules (SGs) under oxidative stress, co-localizing with G3BP1, HuR, and TIA-1/TIAR; HspBP1 associates with polyA-RNA in vivo and binds RNA homopolymers directly in vitro. HspBP1 knockdown impairs SG assembly while overexpression promotes SG formation without stress, with the Hsp70-binding domain contributing to SG regulation. |
