Hsp90, the Concertmaster: Tuning Transcription

Abstract: In the last decade, Hsp90 has emerged as a major regulator of cancer cell growth and proliferation. In cancer cells, it assists in giving maturation to oncogenic proteins including several kinases and transcription factors (TF). Recent studies have shown that apart from its chaperone activity, it also imparts regulation of transcription machinery and thereby alters the cellular physiology. Hsp90 and its co-chaperones modulate transcription at least at three different levels. In the first place, they alter the … Show more

“…As HSP90 chaperoning mechanisms can be altered in cancer cells (40) and therefore in cell lines, the role of HSP90 in MeV replication was also assessed in a more relevant system based on MeV infection of primary slices of murine hippocampus conserving the three-dimensional architecture of the brain (30). HSP90 activity was also found to be critical in an ex vivo model of MeV infection of the mouse brain ( Fig.…”

“…HSP90 belongs to the essential cellular proteins, since several hundred client proteins, including major cellular kinases, rely on its chaperon activity (40)(41)(42). The involvement of HSP90 activity in an intracellular process is best studied with geldanamycin and its derivatives that compete with ATP for binding to HSP90's ATPase site (43).…”

“…Hsps are expressed at high levels in a wide range of tumors and are closely associated with resistance to therapy (3)(4)(5). The chaperone functions of Hsps, especially Hsp90, are often subverted during oncogenesis, allowing mutant proteins to retain or even gain function (1,2,6). Many mutations associated with human disease, in particular cancer, are predicted to affect protein stability (7).…”

“…Hsp90β (Hsp90AB1) is regarded as a constitutive expression while Hsp90α (Hsp90AA1) as an inducible expression, it is proved that they have 86% amino acid sequence identity (7). Hsp90 has been found as a critical regulator of cell proliferation, development, mobility and metastasis in malignant tumors, which facilitates maturation and activation of oncogenic proteins, including many kinases and transcription regulatory factors (8). Also, Hsp90 exerts anti-apoptotic activity and affects growth processes tumor cells, and overexpression of Hsp90 has been obviously associated with drug resistance…”
