HSPA activates KCNH2. 8 / 8

reach
"The cytosolic chaperone proteins Hsp70 and Hsp90 were also discovered to bind to hERG and to mediate maturation of hERG subunits."

reach
"Furthermore, it is possible that combined manipulation of HSC70, HSP70 and DNAJA1 could enhance their assistance of hERG folding, for at least some of the LQT2 mutants."

reach
"The reduced expression and inhibition of Hsp90 and Hsp70 will significantly decrease the maturation of the hERG protein and accelerate the degradation of the immature protein (Ficker et al., 2003; Li et al., 2011)."

reach
"Interestingly, although both Hsp70 and Hsc70 associated with hERG channels, it was reported that Hsp70 enhanced the maturation of hERG channels while Hsc70 suppressed their maturation 59."

reach
"Expectedly, we found that knockdown of Hsp70 significantly reduced hERG maturation in the presence of FLV (Figure 5G) and LPV (Figure 5H)."

reach
"Knockdown of Hsp70 reverses drug-induced maturation of the hERG protein."

reach
"A concern to be addressed will be pleiotropic effects of such therapies - for example, inhibition of HSP70 to relieve CHIP mediated degradation of DeltaF508 CFTR could also impair HSP70 dependent folding of hERG, leading to cardiac arrhythmias in CF patients."

reach
"XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR We have also reported that HSP70 increases the activity of Kv1.5 and hERG channels."
