Abstract
Several cellular processes, including the recovery of misfolded proteins, the folding of polypeptide chains, transit of polypeptides across the membrane, construction and disassembly of protein complexes, and modulation of protein control, are carried out by DnaJ homolog subfamily A member 1 (DNAJA1), which belongs to the DnaJ heat-shock protein family. It is unknown if DNAJA1 regulates the production of milk in bovine mammary epithelium cells (BMECs). Methionine and leucine increased DNAJA1 expression and nuclear location, as seen by us. In contrast to DNAJA1 knockdown, overexpression of DNAJA1 boosted the production of milk proteins and fats as well as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c). As a result of amino acids, mTOR and SREBP-1c gene expression are stimulated, and DNAJA1 is a positive regulator of BMECs' amino acid-induced controlled milk protein and fat production.
