The protein encoded by the HSPD1 (heat shock protein family D member 1) gene forms a double-barrel chaperonin complex with heat shock protein 10 (HSP10). This chaperonin complex facilitates folding of proteins to their native state in the mitochondrial matrix space. Missense mutation in the HSP60 gene has been associated with a rare dominant form of hereditary spastic paraplegia and a recessively inherited white matter disorder called MitCHAP60 disease. HSP60 is also found to interact with the transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), which is involved in the induction of IFN-β (interferon- β) signaling pathway, a crucial host-protective response.

General description

The HSPD1 (heat shock protein family D member 1) gene encodes the HSP60 (heat shock protein 60) subunit of the HSP60/HSP10 chaperonin complex. The HSPD1 gene consisting of 12 exons is localized to human chromosome 2q33.1.

Immunogen

The epitope recognized by PLA0269 maps to a region between residue 250 and 300 of human Heat Shock Protein 60 using the numbering given in entry NP_002147.2 (GeneID 3329).

Other Notes

Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) is a member of the chaperonin family. HSP60 is a mitochondrial protein that may function as a signaling molecule in the innate immune system. It is essential for the folding and assembly of newly imported proteins in the mitochondria. [taken from NCBI Entrez Gene (GeneID: 3329)].
