Popis: Effect of recombinant chicken small heat shock protein with molecular mass 24 kDa (Hsp24) and recombinant human small heat shock protein with molecular mass 27 kDa (Hsp27) on the heat-induced denaturation and aggregation of skeletal F-actin was analyzed by means of differential scanning calorimetry and light scattering. All small heat shock proteins did not affect thermal unfolding of F-actin measured by differential scanning calorimetry, but effectively prevented aggregation of thermally denatured actin. Small heat shock protein formed stable complexes with denatured (but not with intact) F-actin. The size of these highly soluble complexes was smaller than the size of intact F-actin filaments. It is supposed that protective effect of small heat shock proteins on the cytoskeleton is at least partly due to prevention of aggregation of denatured actin.
