hsp90: Twist and Fold
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular chaperones are cellular machines that facilitate protein folding. The crystal structures of HtpG, the Escherichia coli homolog of hsp90, reported in this issue (Shiau et al., 2006) together with the recently published structures of an hsp90-cochaperone complex (Ali et al., 2006) and an hsp90-client protein complex (Vaughan et al., 2006), reveal exciting insights into the hsp90 reaction cycle.

Effect of enviromental temperature on heat shock proteins (HSP30, HSP70, HSP90) and IGF-I mRNA expression in Sparus aurata
Ambient temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting physiological mechanisms and biochemical reactions of living organisms. Thus the effect of ambient temperature on HSPs and IGF-I gene expression levels in the liver and muscle tissues of Sparus aurata were investigated in this research. The levels of HSPs, and IGF-I gene expression of the liver and muscle of Sparus...
متن کاملExpression of hsp90 Alpha and hsp90 Beta during Xenopus laevis Embryonic Development
Background: Members of the eukaryotic Hsp90 family function as important molecular chaperones in the assembly, folding and activation of cellular signaling in development. Two hsp90 genes, hsp90 alpha and hsp90 beta, have been identified in fish and homeothermic vertebrates but not in poikilothermic vertebrates. In the present study, the expression of hsp90 alpha and hsp90 beta genes in Xenopus...

The aim of the present study is to determine the feasibility of making a rectangular twist waveguide used to rotate electromagnetic waves. For this purpose, the process of fabricating an aluminum rectangular twist waveguide was simulated by making use of finite element method and Deform software. The optimum length and angle of the twist die for manufacturing a twist waveguide with inner cross ...
متن کاملEvaluation of prostate-specific antigen as a novel biomarker of Hsp90 inhibition.
OBJECTIVES Hsp90 inhibition has already been evaluated by assessing the expression of proteins, like the androgen receptor (AR) and the IGFBP-2. We hypothesized that AR-regulated proteins, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), may serve as biomarkers for Hsp90 inhibition. DESIGN AND METHODS We utilized the androgen-stimulated BT-474 breast cancer cells to trigger PSA secretion, which was q...
متن کاملInhibition of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase kinase and Sln1 yeast histidine kinase by the antifungal antibiotic radicicol.
The 90-kDa heat shock family (HSP90) of protein and two-component histidine kinases, although quite distinct at the primary amino acid sequence level, share a common structural ATP-binding domain known as the Bergerat fold. The Bergerat fold is important for the ATPase activity and associated chaperone function of HSP90. Two-component histidine kinases occur in bacteria, yeast, and plants but h...
