Hsp90 (90 kDa heat-shock protein) is one of a group of molecular chaperones responsible for managing protein folding and quality control in the crowded environment of the cell [1]. Although Hsp90 is involved in the triage of misfolded proteins under stress, it also plays a key role under normal conditions in regulating the stability and activation state of a range of ‘client’ proteins, many of which are critical for signal transduction [2]. As an extension of its protein-stabilizing role, work in model organisms shows that Hsp90 acts as a buffer or capacitor of genetic variation in morphological evolution [3]. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that Hsp90 plays an important role in disease states, particularly in cancer, where the chaperoning of mutated and overexpressed oncoproteins is critical [4]. This has driven the development of Hsp90 inhibitors for cancer treatment and, potentially, other diseases [5]. Recent systems-biology studies indicate that Hsp90 is a major interaction node, regulating a very diverse set of cellular functions [6,7]
