Summary

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a vital molecular chaperone essential for protein folding in vivo. Recent studies reveal its ATPase-dependent mechanism and chaperone cycle, coordinated by co-chaperones.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Structural Biology

Background:

  • Protein folding in vivo often requires molecular chaperones, despite being theoretically spontaneous.
  • Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a major, yet historically mysterious, molecular chaperone.

  • To outline the Hsp90 chaperone cycle and co-chaperone coordination.

Main Methods:

  • Biochemical characterization of Hsp90 and its co-chaperones.
  • Genetic analysis of Hsp90-co-chaperone interactions.
  • Structural studies of Hsp90 complexes.

Main Results:

  • Hsp90 functions as an ATPase-dependent chaperone.
  • A detailed paradigm of the Hsp90 chaperone cycle has been established.
  • The sequential tuning and coordination by various co-chaperones are critical.

Conclusions:

  • Recent advances have significantly demystified Hsp90.
  • Understanding Hsp90's structure and activities promises deeper insights into its in vivo functions.
  • Hsp90 plays a central role in cellular protein conformation and function.
