Abstract: Hsp90 is an ATP dependent molecular chaperone involved in the folding and activation of an unknown number of substrate proteins. These substrate proteins include protein kinases and transcription factors. Consistent with this task, Hsp90 is an essential protein in all eucaryotes. The interaction of Hsp90 with its substrate proteins involves the transient formation of multiprotein complexes with a set of highly conserved partner proteins. The specific function of each component in the processing of substrates is still unknown. Large ATP-dependent conformational changes of Hsp90 occur during the hydrolysis reaction and these changes are thought to drive the chaperone cycle. Natural inhibitors of the ATPase activity, like geldanamycin and radicicol, block the processing of Hsp90 substrate proteins. As many of these substrates are critical elements in signal transduction, Hsp90 seems to introduce an additional level of regulation.

CRINEPT-TROSY NMR reveals p53 core domain bound in an unfolded form to the chaperone Hsp90.
TL;DR: Transverse relaxation-optimized NMR spectroscopy combined with cross-correlated relaxation-enhanced polarization transfer (CRINEPT-TROSY) shows that p53 core domain bound in an ≈200-kDa complex with Hsp90 was predominantly unfolded lacking helical or sheet secondary structure.

TL;DR: An important role is revealed for free radical-mediated nitration of tyrosine residues, in apoptosis induced by endogenously produced and exogenously added peroxynitrite; moreover, tyrosines-containing peptides may offer a novel strategy to neutralize the toxic effects of peroxysitrite.
Heat shock proteins as gatekeepers of proteolytic pathways-Implications for age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
TL;DR: Increasing evidence is focused on the increasing evidence that, HSPs, proteasomes and autophagy regulate protein turnover in the RPE cells and thus have important roles in AMD disease.
Hsp90 structure and function studied by NMR spectroscopy
TL;DR: The different approaches that allowed the investigation of Hsp90 using state-of-the-art NMR methods and the results that were obtained are described and the ability of this method to contribute to the structural characterization of not fully folded proteins becomes crucial.
Mechanisms of Legionella pneumophila-induced interleukin-8 expression in human lung epithelial cells

TL;DR: The results suggest that L. pneumophila induces activation of NF-κB through an intracellular signaling pathway that involves NF-σκB-inducing kinase and IκB kinase, leading to IL-8 gene transcription, and that hsp90 acts as a crucial regulator in L.neumophila.

The steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily
TL;DR: A superfamily of regulatory proteins that include receptors for thyroid hormone and the vertebrate morphogen retinoic acid is identified, suggesting mechanisms underlying morphogenesis and homeostasis may be more ubiquitous than previously expected.
Hsp90 as a capacitor for morphological evolution
TL;DR: It is reported that when Drosophila Hsp90 is mutant or pharmacologically impaired, phenotypic variation affecting nearly any adult structure is produced, with specific variants depending on the genetic background and occurring both in laboratory strains and in wild populations.

William B. Pratt,David O. Toft +1 more
TL;DR: A historical perspective on a body of steroid receptor research dealing with the structure and physiological significance of the untransformed 9S receptor is provided, and it is shown that hsp90 itself exists in a variety of native multiprotein heterocomplexes independent of steroid receptors and other 'substrate' proteins.

Identification and Structural Characterization of the ATP/ADP-Binding Site in the Hsp90 Molecular Chaperone

TL;DR: Crystal structures of complexes between the N-terminal domain of the yeast Hsp90 chaperone and ADP/ATP unambiguously identify a specific adenine nucleotide binding site homologous to the ATP-binding site of DNA gyrase B, suggesting that geldanamycin acts by blocking the binding of nucleotides to Hsp 90 and not the binding to incompletely folded client polypeptides as previously suggested.
