Summary: Enables ATP hydrolysis activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fungal-type cell wall beta-glucan biosynthetic process; intracellular protein transmembrane transport; and karyogamy involved in conjugation with cellular fusion. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Part of luminal surveillance complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human HSPA5 (heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Reductive stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) inhibits the Ost3-dependent N-glycosylation of Sil1, which regulates specific BiP functions appropriate to the needs of the ER under reductive stress.
Title: Diminished Ost3-dependent N-glycosylation of the BiP nucleotide exchange factor Sil1 is an adaptive response to reductive ER stress.
Here the authors demonstrate that BiP's nucleotide exchange factor - Sil1 - can reverse BiP cysteine oxidation.
Title: An unexpected role for the yeast nucleotide exchange factor Sil1 as a reductant acting on the molecular chaperone BiP.
Increased endoplasmic reticulum glutathione import triggers H2O2-dependent Bip oxidation through Ero1 reductive activation, which inhibits glutathione import in a negative regulatory loop.
Title: Endoplasmic Reticulum Transport of Glutathione by Sec61 Is Regulated by Ero1 and Bip.
The authors found that the ATPase activity displayed by unmodified Kar2 is fully maintained when Cys63 is replaced with Ala or Val.
Title: A Conserved Cysteine within the ATPase Domain of the Endoplasmic Reticulum Chaperone BiP is Necessary for a Complete Complement of BiP Activities.
the susceptibility of BiP to modification with glutathione may serve also to prevent irreversible oxidation of BiP by peroxide.
Title: Formation and Reversibility of BiP Protein Cysteine Oxidation Facilitate Cell Survival during and post Oxidative Stress.
Alteration of KAR2 (BiP) activity upon oxidation helps cells cope with disruption to oxidative folding within the endoplasmic reticulum during oxidative stress.
Title: Redox signaling via the molecular chaperone BiP protects cells against endoplasmic reticulum-derived oxidative stress.
Coexpression of Kar2p, Pdi1p and Ero1p gave a synergistic effect on CPY expression

Data indicate that BiP (GRP78/Kar2) stabilizes torsinA and torsinADeltaE in mammalian cells.
Title: The BiP molecular chaperone plays multiple roles during the biogenesis of torsinA, an AAA+ ATPase associated with the neurological disease early-onset torsion dystonia.
The inability to induce KAR2 under stress had no effect on its known housekeeping functions.
Title: Endoplasmic reticulum stress regulation of the Kar2p/BiP chaperone alleviates proteotoxicity via dual degradation pathways.
Kar2p mobility represents a powerful new tool capable of distinguishing between the different mechanisms leading to unfolded protein response activation in living cells.
