Symbol: HSP104 Name: Heat shock protein that cooperates with Ydj1p (Hsp40) and Ssa1p (Hsp70) to refold and reactivate previously denatured, aggregated proteins; responsive to stresses including: heat, ethanol, and sodium arsenite; involved in [PSI+] propagation Entrez gene ID: 850633 Ensembl gene ID: YLL026W Species: Yeast (Taxid: 4932) Functional description: Heat shock protein required for thermotolerance and resolublizing aggregates of denatured proteins; Hsp104p; Heat shock protein that cooperates with Ydj1p (Hsp40) and Ssa1p (Hsp70) to refold and reactivate previously denatured, aggregated proteins; responsive to stresses including: heat, ethanol, and sodium arsenite; involved in [PSI+] propagation [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003949] [Ensembl] Observation: Deletion of HSP104 leads to a 14% [9851879] to 40% [17908928] reduction in mean replicative lifespan, therfore it is required for required for longevity. Overexpression of HSP104 driven by GAL promoter is insufficient to extend replicative lifespan [9851879]. Overproduction of HSP104 in wild-type cells has no effect on replicative life span, but suppresses the reduced lifespan of Sir2-deficient cells [17908928]. Exposure of cells to transient sub-lethal heat-stress extends mean lifespan by 12% while decreasing maximum lifespan by 14%. This effect does not occur in an HSP104 null mutant [9851879]. HSP104 null mutant is viable but displays reduced high temperature survival and its overproduction is sufficient to induce thermotolerance [8643570].
