60 common DmHsp22-binding mitochondrial partners were detected via immunoaffinity conjugation with mass spectroscopy analysis of mitochondria from HeLa cells transfected with DmHsp22 in non-heat shock condition and after heat shock. Among the partners of DmHsp22, several ATP synthase subunits were found.
Title: Identification of proteins interacting with the mitochondrial small heat shock protein Hsp22 of Drosophila melanogaster: Implication in mitochondrial homeostasis.
This study shows that mutations of arginine to glycine in Hsp22 alpha-crystallin domain induce a number of structural changes, some of which differ from those described in mammalian small heat shock proteins.
Title: Oligomeric structure and chaperone-like activity of Drosophila melanogaster mitochondrial small heat shock protein Hsp22 and arginine mutants in the alpha-crystallin domain.
Together the results are consistent with a role of Hsp22 in the UPR(MT) and in mitochondrial proteostasis.
Title: Changes in Drosophila mitochondrial proteins following chaperone-mediated lifespan extension confirm a role of Hsp22 in mitochondrial UPR and reveal a mitochondrial localization for cathepsin D.
hsp22 could play an important role in relation to stress resistance and adaptation.
Title: Downregulation of hsp22 gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster from sites located near chemical plants.
Hsp22 and Hsp23 play important roles in the recovery from chill coma in adult males, and suggest that these contribute to adaptive responses to fluctuating thermal conditions.
Title: Knocking down expression of Hsp22 and Hsp23 by RNA interference affects recovery from chill coma in Drosophila melanogaster.
The up-regulation of genes of the OXPHOS system in Hsp22+ flies suggest that mitochondrial homeostasis is at the center of Hsp22 beneficial effects on lifespan.
Title: Gene expression profiling implicates OXPHOS complexes in lifespan extension of flies over-expressing a small mitochondrial chaperone, Hsp22.
Data show that the DmHsp22 interacts and inactivates wild type tumor suppressor protein p53, which may be one possible way of its functioning in human cells.
