Tamoxifen Enhances the Hsp90 Molecular Chaperone ATPase Activity
BACKGROUND Hsp90 is an essential molecular chaperone that is also a novel anti-cancer drug target. There is growing interest in developing new drugs that modulate Hsp90 activity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using a virtual screening approach, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, the active metabolite of the anti-estrogen drug tamoxifen, was identified as a putative Hsp90 ligand. Surprisingly, while all dru...
متن کاملPhysiological release of endogenous tau is stimulated by neuronal activity
Propagation of tau pathology is linked with progressive neurodegeneration, but the mechanism underlying trans-synaptic spread of tau is unknown. We show that stimulation of neuronal activity, or AMPA receptor activation, induces tau release from healthy, mature cortical neurons. Notably, phosphorylation of extracellular tau appears reduced in comparison with intracellular tau. We also find that...
متن کاملRegulation of stress-induced intracellular sorting and chaperone function of Hsp27 (HspB1) in mammalian cells.
In vitro, small Hsps (heat-shock proteins) have been shown to have chaperone function capable of keeping unfolded proteins in a form competent for Hsp70-dependent refolding. However, this has never been confirmed in living mammalian cells. In the present study, we show that Hsp27 (HspB1) translocates into the nucleus upon heat shock, where it forms granules that co-localize with IGCs (interchro...
متن کاملAlteration of the protein kinase binding domain enhances function of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae molecular chaperone Cdc37.
Cdc37 is a molecular chaperone that has a general function in the biogenesis of protein kinases. We identified mutations within the putative "protein kinase binding domain" of Cdc37 that alleviate the conditional growth defect of a strain containing a temperature-sensitive allele, tpk2(Ts), of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). These dominant mutations alleviate the temperature-sens...
متن کاملSecretable chaperone Grp170 enhances therapeutic activity of a novel tumor suppressor, mda-7/IL-24.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7 (mda-7)/interleukin-24 (IL-24) is a cancer-specific, apoptosis-inducing gene with broad-spectrum antitumor activity, making it an ideal candidate for a novel cancer gene therapy. A systemic and sustained antitumor immune response generated at the time of initial molecular-targeted therapy would provide additional clinical benefits in cancer patients, r...
