BAG3
geneOn this page
Summary
BAG3 (BAG cochaperone 3, HGNC:939) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q26.11, encoding BAG family molecular chaperone regulator 3 (O95817). Co-chaperone and adapter protein that connects different classes of molecular chaperones including heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s), e.g. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
BAG proteins compete with Hip for binding to the Hsc70/Hsp70 ATPase domain and promote substrate release. All the BAG proteins have an approximately 45-amino acid BAG domain near the C terminus but differ markedly in their N-terminal regions. The protein encoded by this gene contains a WW domain in the N-terminal region and a BAG domain in the C-terminal region. The BAG domains of BAG1, BAG2, and BAG3 interact specifically with the Hsc70 ATPase domain in vitro and in mammalian cells. All 3 proteins bind with high affinity to the ATPase domain of Hsc70 and inhibit its chaperone activity in a Hip-repressible manner.

Function. Co-chaperone and adapter protein that connects different classes of molecular chaperones including heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s), e.g. HSPA1A/HSP70 or HSPA8/HSC70, and small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), e.g. HSPB8. Acts as a nucleotide-exchange factor (NEF) promoting the release of ADP from HSP70s, thereby triggering client protein release. Nucleotide release is mediated via BAG3 binding to the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSP70s, whereas client release is mediated via binding to the substrate-binding domain (SBD). Has anti-apoptotic activity. Plays a role in the HSF1 nucleocytoplasmic transport.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a ternary complex with HSPA1A/HSP70 and HSPB8, serving as scaffold subunit. Component of the chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) complex consisting of BAG3, HSPA8/HSC70, HSPB8 and STUB1/CHIP. Binds to the ATPase domain of HSP70 chaperones. Interacts with BCL2. Interacts with phospholipase C-gamma proteins. Interacts with DNAJB1 and DNAJB6. Interacts (via BAG domain) with HSF1; this interaction occurs in normal and heat-shocked cells promoting HSF1 nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. Interacts with HSPA8/HSC70 (via NBD). Interacts with HSPA1A (via NBD) and HSPA1B (via NBD). Interacts (via WW domain 1) with SYNPO2 (via PPPY motif). Interacts with HSPB8.

Disease relevance. Myopathy, myofibrillar, 6 (MFM6) [MIM:612954] A form of myofibrillar myopathy, a group of chronic neuromuscular disorders characterized at ultrastructural level by disintegration of the sarcomeric Z disk and myofibrils, and replacement of the normal myofibrillar markings by small dense granules, or larger hyaline masses, or amorphous material. MFM6 is characterized by early-onset of severe, progressive, diffuse muscle weakness associated with cardiomyopathy, severe respiratory insufficiency during adolescence, and a rigid spine in some patients. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cardiomyopathy, dilated, 1HH (CMD1HH) [MIM:613881] A disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal dominant 15 (HMND15) [MIM:621094] A form of distal hereditary motor neuronopathy, a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders caused by selective degeneration of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, without sensory deficit in the posterior horn. The overall clinical picture consists of a classical distal muscular atrophy syndrome in the legs without clinical sensory loss. Weakness and atrophy may expand to the proximal muscles of the lower limbs and/or to the distal upper limbs. HMND15 is an adult-onset, autosomal dominant form with incomplete penetrance. HMND15 affected individuals exhibit a slowly progressive and symmetric distal weakness and atrophy of lower limb muscles, along with absent Achille reflexes. Sensory deficits are not present. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2JJ (CMT2JJ) [MIM:621095] An autosomal dominant, axonal form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy, initially of the peroneal muscles and later of the distal muscles of the arms. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is classified in two main groups on the basis of electrophysiologic properties and histopathology: primary peripheral demyelinating neuropathies (designated CMT1 when they are dominantly inherited) and primary peripheral axonal neuropathies (CMT2). Neuropathies of the CMT2 group are characterized by signs of axonal degeneration in the absence of obvious myelin alterations, normal or slightly reduced nerve conduction velocities, and progressive distal muscle weakness and atrophy. CMT2JJ is characterized by adult onset of distal sensory impairment and distal muscle weakness and atrophy predominantly affecting the lower limbs. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The BAG domain interacts with the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSP70s and is essential for the nucleotide-exchange factor activity.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 107 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
