STRUCTURE OF THE TETRAGONAL FORM OF THE N-TERMINAL DOMAIN OF THE YEAST HSP90 CHAPERONE
Structural highlights
Function[HSP82_YEAST] Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. The nucleotide-free form of the dimer is found in an open conformation in which the N-termini are not dimerized and the complex is ready for client protein binding. Binding of ATP induces large conformational changes, resulting in the formation of a ring-like closed structure in which the N-terminal domains associate intramolecularly with the middle domain and also dimerize with each other, stimulating their intrinsic ATPase activity and acting as a clamp on the substrate. Finally, ATP hydrolysis results in the release of the substrate. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co-chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function.

Publication Abstract from PubMedHsp90 is a highly specific chaperone for many signal transduction proteins, including steroid hormone receptors and a broad range of protein kinases. The crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of the yeast Hsp90 reveals a dimeric structure based on a highly twisted sixteen stranded beta-sheet, whose topology suggests a possible 30-domain-swapped structure for the intact Hsp90 dimer. The opposing faces of the beta-sheets in the dimer define a potential peptide-binding cleft, suggesting that the N-domain may serve as a molecular 'clamp' in the binding of ligand proteins to Hsp90.
