The Chaperonopathies

Abstract

In this chapter are presented chaperonopathies in which a genetic mechanism is involved but are different from those discussed in chapter 4. Thus, chaperonopathies due to gene dysregulation such as those observed in aged individuals and in some cases with neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, and other conditions), are presented. Likewise, examples of the impact of chaperone-gene polymorphisms on health and disease are given. The quantitative chaperonopathies attributable to gene dysregulation are discussed.

Section 5.1 CHAPERONOPATHIES DUE TO GENE DYSREGULATION DnaJB

  • This gene is upregulated in Parkinsons disease. DNAJB6 is increased in astrocytes in Parkinson’s disease, and it is present in Lewy bodies. Durrenberger PF, Filiou MD, Moran LB, Michael GJ, Novoselov S, Cheetham ME, Clark P, Pearce RK, Graeber MB (2009). DnaJB6 is present in the core of Lewy bodies and is highly up-regulated in parkinsonian astrocytes. J Neurosci Res 87:238–245

AlphaB-Crystallin (CRYAB; HspB5)

  • This small Hsp is overexpressed in some neurodegenerative disorders. This increase in HspB5 may be paralleled in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, which is characterized by deposition of mutated transthyretin in the extracellular space, by activation of the heat-shock factor HSF-1 and increase in Hsp27 and Hsp70.
