STUB1 (
STIP1 homology and
U-
Box containing protein
1) is a human gene that codes for the protein CHIP (
C terminus of
HSC70-
Interacting
Protein).
Function
The CHIP protein encoded by this gene binds to and inhibits the
ATPase
ATPases (, Adenosine 5'-TriPhosphatase, adenylpyrophosphatase, ATP monophosphatase, triphosphatase, SV40 T-antigen, ATP hydrolase, complex V (mitochondrial electron transport), (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, HCO3−-ATPase, adenosine triphosphatase) are ...
activity of the
chaperone proteins HSC70 and
HSP70
The 70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (Hsp70s or DnaK) are a family of conserved ubiquitously expressed heat shock proteins. Proteins with similar structure exist in virtually all living organisms. Intracellularly localized Hsp70s are an importa ...
and blocks the forward reaction of the HSC70-HSP70 substrate-binding cycle.
In addition, CHIP possesses
E3 ubiquitin ligase
A ubiquitin ligase (also called an E3 ubiquitin ligase) is a protein that recruits an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that has been loaded with ubiquitin, recognizes a protein substrate, and assists or directly catalyzes the transfer of ubiquitin ...
activity and promotes
ubiquitylation,
mainly of chaperone-bound misfolded proteins.
CHIP enhances HSP70 induction during acute stress and also mediates its turnover during the stress recovery process. Hence CHIP appears to maintain protein homeostasis by controlling chaperone levels during stress and recovery.
