Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a chaperone with vital roles in regulating proteostasis, long recognized for its function in protein folding and maturation. A view is emerging that identifies HSP90 not as one protein that is structurally and functionally homogeneous but, rather, as a protein that is shaped by its environment. In this Review, we discuss evidence of multiple structural forms of HSP90 in health and disease, including homo-oligomers and hetero-oligomers, also termed epichaperomes, and examine the impact of stress, post-translational modifications and co-chaperones on their formation. We describe how these variations influence context-dependent functions of HSP90 as well as its interaction with other chaperones, co-chaperones and proteins, and how this structural complexity of HSP90 impacts and is impacted by its interaction with small molecule modulators. We close by discussing recent developments regarding the use of HSP90 inhibitors in cancer and how our new appreciation of the structural and functional heterogeneity of HSP90 invites a re-evaluation of how we discover and implement HSP90 therapeutics for disease treatment.

Cell Rep 2023; 42:112445.

Abstract
The molecular and pathogenic mechanisms of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) development are still unclear, which hinders the development of effective treatments. In this study, we report that DUSP4 is highly expressed in human ESCC and is negatively correlated with patient prognosis. Knockdown of DUSP4 suppresses cell proliferation and patient-derived xenograft (PDX)-derived organoid (PDXO) growth and inhibits cell-derived xenograft (CDX) development. Mechanistically, DUSP4 directly binds to heat shock protein isoform β (HSP90β) and promotes the ATPase activity of HSP90β by dephosphorylating HSP90β on T214 and Y216. These dephosphorylation sites are critical for the stability of JAK1/2-STAT3 signaling and p-STAT3 (Y705) nucleus translocation. In vivo, Dusp4 knockout in mice significantly inhibits 4-nitrochinoline-oxide-induced esophageal tumorigenesis. Moreover, DUSP4 lentivirus or treatment with HSP90β inhibitor (NVP-BEP800) significantly impedes PDX tumor growth and inactivates the JAK1/2-STAT3 signaling pathway. These data provide insight into the role of the DUSP4-HSP90β-JAK1/2-STAT3 axis in ESCC progression and describe a strategy for ESCC treatment.

Abstract
The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) family consists of four highly conserved isoforms: the mitochondrial TRAP-1, the endoplasmic reticulum-localised Grp94, and the cytoplasmic Hsp90α and Hsp90β. Since the late 1990s, this family has been extensively studied as a potential target for the treatment of cancer, neurological disorders, and infectious diseases. The initial approach was to develop non-selective, so-called pan-Hsp90 ATP-competitive inhibitors of the N-terminal domain. Many of these agents were tested in clinical trials, mainly for the treatment of cancer, but none of them succeeded in the clinic. This was mainly due to the lack of efficacy and various toxicities associated with the induction of heat shock response (HSR). This lack of success has prompted a turn to new approaches of Hsp90 inhibition. Thus, inhibitors selective for a particular isoform of Hsp90 have been developed. These isoform-selective inhibitors do not induce HSR and have a more targeted effect because not all client proteins are equally dependent on all four paralogues of Hsp90. However, it is extremely difficult to develop such selective compounds because the family is highly conserved. Hsp90α and Hsp90β have an amazing 95% identity of the N-terminal ATP binding site, differing only in two amino acid residues. Therefore, the focus of this review is to fully elucidate the key structural features of the selective inhibitor classes in terms of binding site dissimilarities. In addition to a methodological characterisation of the structure-activity relationships, the main advantages of selective inhibition of the TRAP-1, Grp94, Hsp90α and Hsp90β isoforms are discussed.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is essential in eukaryotes. Hsp90 chaperones proteins that are important determinants of multistep carcinogenesis. There are multiple Hsp90 isoforms including the cytosolic Hsp90α and Hsp90β as well as GRP94 located in the endoplasmic reticulum and TRAP1 in the mitochondria. The chaperone function of Hsp90 is linked to its ability to bind and hydrolyze ATP. Co-chaperones and posttranslational modifications (such as phosphorylation, SUMOylation, and ubiquitination) are important for Hsp90 stability and regulation of its ATPase activity. Both mammalian and yeast cells can be used to express and purify Hsp90 and TRAP1 and also detect post-translational modifications by immunoblotting.

Abstract
Activation of client protein kinases by the HSP90 molecular chaperone system is affected by phosphorylation at multiple sites on HSP90, the kinase-specific co-chaperone CDC37, and the kinase client itself. Removal of regulatory phosphorylation from client kinases and their release from the HSP90-CDC37 system depends on the Ser/Thr phosphatase PP5, which associates with HSP90 via its N-terminal TPR domain. Here, we present the cryoEM structure of the oncogenic protein kinase client BRAFV600E bound to HSP90-CDC37, showing how the V600E mutation favours BRAF association with HSP90-CDC37. Structures of HSP90-CDC37-BRAFV600E complexes with PP5 in autoinhibited and activated conformations, together with proteomic analysis of its phosphatase activity on BRAFV600E and CRAF, reveal how PP5 is activated by recruitment to HSP90 complexes. PP5 comprehensively dephosphorylates client proteins, removing interaction sites for regulatory partners such as 14-3-3 proteins and thus performing a 'factory reset' of the kinase prior to release.

Abstract
The chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is well known to undergo important conformational changes, which depend on nucleotide and substrate interactions. Conversely, how the conformations of its unstable and disordered substrates are affected by Hsp90 is difficult to address experimentally yet is central to its function. Here, using optical tweezers, we find that Hsp90 promotes local contractions in unfolded chains that drive their global compaction down to dimensions of folded states. This compaction has a gradual nature while showing small steps, is stimulated by ATP, and performs mechanical work against counteracting forces that expand the chain dimensions. The Hsp90 interactions suppress the formation of larger-scale folded, misfolded, and aggregated structures. The observations support a model in which Hsp90 alters client conformations directly by promoting local intra-chain interactions while suppressing distant ones. We conjecture that chain compaction may be central to how Hsp90 protects unstable clients and cooperates with Hsp70.

Abstract
The available antifilarial medications are effective only against the larval stage of the filarial parasite. As a result, there is a pressing need for an adulticidal drug. The development of drugs requires the identification of molecular targets that are critical for parasite life. In this study, we observed the effect of 17-N-allyl-17-demethoxygeldanamycin on the survival of adult filarial parasites. The 17-N-allyl-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) is a derivative of geldanamycin (GA), which is an inhibitor of heat shock protein (HSP)90. It is less toxic as compared to geldanamycin. The motility and viability of the adult filarial parasite Setaria cervi were decreased on exposure to 17-AAG at 2.5 and 5.0 μM/ml concentrations. The 17-AAG treated parasites showed induction of oxidative stress as evidenced by decreased activity of various antioxidant enzymes like glutathione s-transferase, glutathione reductase, thioredoxin reductase, and an increase in ROS production in comparison to control. Oxidative stress may lead to altered calcium homeostasis. Indeed, in 17-AAG treated worms, there was a rise in calcium in the cytosol and mitochondria, as well as a decrease in the ER. We also observed enhanced activity of phospholipase C in the treated parasite, suggesting the opening of calcium channels located on the ER membrane. ER stress is marked by a reduced level of protein disulfide isomerase. Further, 17-AAG treated worms showed an increase in apoptotic marker enzyme activities like calpain, cyt-c, and caspase-3. The 2D-gel electrophoresis technique showed 142 protein spots in the control and 112 spots in the 17-AAG treated parasite. Thus, 17-AAG induced oxidative stress, and altered calcium, and proteostasis of parasites, which led to apoptosis.

Abstract
Understanding the allosteric mechanisms of the Hsp90 chaperone interactions with cochaperones and client protein clientele is fundamental to dissect activation and regulation of many proteins. In this work, atomistic simulations are combined with perturbation-based approaches and dynamic network modeling for a comparative mutational profiling of the Hsp90 binding and allosteric interaction networks in the three Hsp90 maturation complexes with FKBP51 and P23 cochaperones and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) client. The conformational dynamics signatures of the Hsp90 complexes and dynamics fluctuation analysis revealed how the intrinsic plasticity of the Hsp90 dimer can be modulated by cochaperones and client proteins to stabilize the closed dimer state required at the maturation stage of the ATPase cycle. In silico deep mutational scanning of the protein residues characterized the hot spots of protein stability and binding affinity in the Hsp90 complexes, showing that binding hot spots may often coincide with the regulatory centers that modulate dynamic allostery in the Hsp90 dimer. We introduce a perturbation-based network approach for mutational scanning of allosteric residue potentials and characterize allosteric switch clusters that control mechanism of cochaperone-dependent client recognition and remodeling by the Hsp90 chaperone. The results revealed a conserved network of allosteric switches in the Hsp90 complexes that allow cochaperones and GR protein to become integrated into the Hsp90 system by anchoring to the conformational switch points in the functional Hsp90 regions. This study suggests that the Hsp90 binding and allostery may operate under a regulatory mechanism in which activation or repression of the Hsp90 activity can be pre-encoded in the allosterically regulated Hsp90 dimer motions. By binding directly to the conformational switch centers on the Hsp90, cochaperones and interacting proteins can efficiently modulate the allosteric interactions and long-range communications required for client remodeling and activation.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that interacts with up to 10% of the proteome. The extensive involvement in protein folding and regulation of protein stability within cells makes Hsp90 an attractive therapeutic target to correct multiple dysfunctions. Many of the clients of Hsp90 are found in pathways known to be pathogenic in the heart, ranging from transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and mitogen activated kinase (MAPK) signaling to tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), Gs and Gq g-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and calcium (Ca2+) signaling. These pathways can therefore be targeted through modulation of Hsp90 activity. The activity of Hsp90 can be targeted through small-molecule inhibition. Small-molecule inhibitors of Hsp90 have been found to be cardiotoxic in some cases however. In this regard, specific targeting of Hsp90 by modulation of post-translational modifications (PTMs) emerges as an attractive strategy. In this review, we aim to address how Hsp90 functions, where Hsp90 interacts within pathological pathways, and current knowledge of small molecules and PTMs known to modulate Hsp90 activity and their potential as therapeutics in cardiac diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) signaling pathways participate in protein phosphorylation during sperm capacitation. However, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the interaction between Hsp90 and its co-chaperone protein, cell division cycle protein Cdc37 (Cdc37), in human spermatozoa. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined the effects of H-89 (a protein kinase A [PKA] inhibitor) and Go6983 (a protein kinase C [PKC] inhibitor) on the phosphorylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues in Hsp90; the effect of 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, Hsp90 inhibitor) on Y416-Src phosphorylation; and the effects of 17-AAG and geldanamycin on threonine phosphorylation during human sperm capacitation. RESULTS Hsp90 co-localized and interacted with Cdc37. During human sperm capacitation, Hsp90 phosphorylation at serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues was inhibited by H-89 and Go6983. In addition, phosphorylation of residue Y416 in the tyrosine kinase Src (its active site) was inhibited by 17-AAG, and the threonine phosphorylation levels of some proteins were decreased by 17-AAG and geldanamycin. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Taken together, our data showed that the interaction of Hsp90 with Cdc37 regulates total protein threonine phosphorylation and Src phosphorylation via its serine, threonine, and tyrosine phosphorylation, which are controlled by PKA and PKC during human sperm capacitation. The results of this study help understand the mechanism underlying Hsp90 regulation of sperm function.

Abstract
Understanding molecular principles underlying chaperone-based modulation of kinase client activity is critically important to dissect functions and activation mechanisms of many oncogenic proteins. The recent experimental studies have suggested that phosphorylation sites in the Hsp90 and Cdc37 proteins can serve as conformational communication switches of chaperone regulation and kinase interactions. However, a mechanism of allosteric coupling between phosphorylation sites in the Hsp90 and Cdc37 during client binding is poorly understood, and the molecular signatures underpinning specific roles of phosphorylation sites in the Hsp90 regulation remain unknown. In this work, we employed a combination of evolutionary analysis, coarse-grained molecular simulations together with perturbation-based network modeling and scanning of the unbound and bound Hsp90 and Cdc37 structures to quantify allosteric effects of phosphorylation sites and identify unique signatures that are characteristic for communication switches of kinase-specific client binding. By using network-based metrics of the dynamic intercommunity bridgeness and community centrality, we characterize specific signatures of phosphorylation switches involved in allosteric regulation. Through perturbation-based analysis of the dynamic residue interaction networks, we show that mutations of kinase-specific phosphorylation switches can induce long-range effects and lead to a global rewiring of the allosteric network and signal transmission in the Hsp90-Cdc37-kinase complex. We determine a specific group of phosphorylation sites in the Hsp90 where mutations may have a strong detrimental effect on allosteric interaction network, providing insight into the mechanism of phosphorylation-induced communication switching. The results demonstrate that kinase-specific phosphorylation switches of communications in the Hsp90 may be partly predisposed for their regulatory role based on preexisting allosteric propensities.

Abstract
Cells have a remarkable ability to synthesize large amounts of protein in a very short period of time. Under these conditions, many hydrophobic surfaces on proteins may be transiently exposed, and the likelihood of deleterious interactions is quite high. To counter this threat to cell viability, molecular chaperones have evolved to help nascent polypeptides fold correctly and multimeric protein complexes assemble productively, while minimizing the danger of protein aggregation. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperone that is involved in the stability and activation of at least 300 proteins, also known as clients, under normal cellular conditions. The Hsp90 clients participate in the full breadth of cellular processes, including cell growth and cell cycle control, signal transduction, DNA repair, transcription, and many others. Hsp90 chaperone function is coupled to its ability to bind and hydrolyze ATP, which is tightly regulated both by co-chaperone proteins and post-translational modifications (PTMs). Many reported PTMs of Hsp90 alter chaperone function and consequently affect myriad cellular processes. Here, we review the contributions of PTMs, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, SUMOylation, methylation, O-GlcNAcylation, ubiquitination, and others, toward regulation of Hsp90 function. We also discuss how the Hsp90 modification state affects cellular sensitivity to Hsp90-targeted therapeutics that specifically bind and inhibit its chaperone activity. The ultimate challenge is to decipher the comprehensive and combinatorial array of PTMs that modulate Hsp90 chaperone function, a phenomenon termed the "chaperone code."

Abstract
Proper folding is crucial for proteins to achieve functional activity in the cell. However, it often occurs that proteins are improperly folded (misfolded) and form aggregates, which are the main hallmark of many diseases including cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and many others. Proteins that assist other proteins in proper folding into three-dimensional structures are chaperones and co-chaperones. The key role of chaperones/co-chaperones is to prevent protein aggregation, especially under stress. An imbalance between chaperone/co-chaperone levels has been documented in neurons, and suggested to contribute to protein misfolding. An essential protein and a major regulator of protein folding in all eukaryotic cells is the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). The function of Hsp90 is tightly regulated by many factors, including co-chaperones. In this review we summarize results regarding the role of Hsp90 and its co-chaperones in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and prionopathies.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) represent an important regulatory instrument that modulates structure, dynamics and function of proteins. The large number of PTM sites in the Hsp90 proteins that are scattered throughout different domains indicated that synchronization of multiple PTMs through a combinatorial code can be invoked as an important mechanism to orchestrate diverse chaperone functions and recognize multiple client proteins. In this study, we have combined structural and coevolutionary analysis with molecular simulations and perturbation response scanning analysis of the Hsp90 structures to characterize functional role of PTM sites in allosteric regulation. The results reveal a small group of conserved PTMs that act as global mediators of collective dynamics and allosteric communications in the Hsp90 structures, while the majority of flexible PTM sites serve as sensors and carriers of the allosteric structural changes. This study provides a comprehensive structural, dynamic and network analysis of PTM sites across Hsp90 proteins, identifying specific role of regulatory PTM hotspots in the allosteric mechanism of the Hsp90 cycle. We argue that plasticity of a combinatorial PTM code in the Hsp90 may be enacted through allosteric coupling between effector and sensor PTM residues, which would allow for timely response to structural requirements of multiple modified enzymes.

Abstract
Protein folding in the cell requires ATP-driven chaperone machines such as the conserved Hsp70 and Hsp90. It is enigmatic how these machines fold proteins. Here, we show that Hsp90 takes a key role in protein folding by breaking an Hsp70-inflicted folding block, empowering protein clients to fold on their own. At physiological concentrations, Hsp70 stalls productive folding by binding hydrophobic, core-forming segments. Hsp90 breaks this deadlock and restarts folding. Remarkably, neither Hsp70 nor Hsp90 alters the folding rate despite ensuring high folding yields. In fact, ATP-dependent chaperoning is restricted to the early folding phase. Thus, the Hsp70-Hsp90 cascade does not fold proteins, but instead prepares them for spontaneous, productive folding. This stop-start mechanism is conserved from bacteria to man, assigning also a general function to bacterial Hsp90, HtpG. We speculate that the decreasing hydrophobicity along the Hsp70-Hsp90 cascade may be crucial for enabling spontaneous folding.

A switch point in the molecular chaperone Hsp90 responding to client interaction. Nat Commun 2018; 9:1472.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a dimeric molecular chaperone that undergoes large conformational changes during its functional cycle. It has been established that conformational switch points exist in the N-terminal (Hsp90-N) and C-terminal (Hsp90-C) domains of Hsp90, however information for switch points in the large middle-domain (Hsp90-M) is scarce. Here we report on a tryptophan residue in Hsp90-M as a new type of switch point. Our study shows that this conserved tryptophan senses the interaction of Hsp90 with a stringent client protein and transfers this information via a cation–π interaction with a neighboring lysine. Mutations at this position hamper the communication between domains and the ability of a client protein to affect the Hsp90 cycle. The residue thus allows Hsp90 to transmit information on the binding of a client from Hsp90-M to Hsp90-N which is important for progression of the conformational cycle and the efficient processing of client proteins. The heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) chaperone undergoes large conformational changes during its functional cycle. Here the authors combine in vivo, biochemical, biophysical and computational approaches and provide insights into the allosteric regulation of Hsp90 by identifying and characterizing a switch point in the Hsp90 middle domain.

Abstract
Malaria remains a global health burden partly due to Plasmodium parasite resistance to first-line therapeutics. The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) has emerged as an essential protein for blood-stage Plasmodium parasites, but details about its function during malaria's elusive liver stage are unclear. We used target-based screens to identify compounds that bind to Plasmodium falciparum and human Hsp90, which revealed insights into chemotypes with species-selective binding. Using cell-based malaria assays, we demonstrate that all identified Hsp90-binding compounds are liver- and blood-stage Plasmodium inhibitors. Additionally, the Hsp90 inhibitor SNX-0723 in combination with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor PIK-75 synergistically reduces the liver-stage parasite load. Time course inhibition studies with the Hsp90 inhibitors and expression analysis support a role for Plasmodium Hsp90 in late-liver-stage parasite development. Our results suggest that Plasmodium Hsp90 is essential to liver- and blood-stage parasite infections and highlight an attractive route for development of species-selective PfHsp90 inhibitors that may act synergistically in combination therapies to prevent and treat malaria.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a highly conserved and abundant chaperone. It participates in essential cellular activities by supporting the maturation process of its client proteins, many of which are protein kinases and steroid receptors. Client processing is achieved via extensive conformational changes within the dimeric chaperone. This requires an ATP hydrolysis activity that is controlled by auto-inhibitory mechanisms and several structurally diverse cofactors. Especially the client-specificity of Hsp90 depends on client-specific cofactors, which can adapt Hsp90's activities to the client requirements at different conditions and in different cell types. Additionally, post-translational modifications can influence almost every aspect of Hsp90's interactions and activities. In this review, we present these regulatory principles, discuss the factors that have an impact on Hsp90's function and elaborate the mechanisms that are responsible for regulating the Hsp90 machinery.

Abstract
During the Hsp90-mediated chaperoning of protein kinases, the core components of the machinery, Hsp90 and the cochaperone Cdc37, recycle between different phosphorylation states that regulate progression of the chaperone cycle. We show that Cdc37 phosphorylation at Y298 results in partial unfolding of the C-terminal domain and the population of folding intermediates. Unfolding facilitates Hsp90 phosphorylation at Y197 by unmasking a phosphopeptide sequence, which serves as a docking site to recruit non-receptor tyrosine kinases to the chaperone complex via their SH2 domains. In turn, Hsp90 phosphorylation at Y197 specifically regulates its interaction with Cdc37 and thus affects the chaperoning of only protein kinase clients. In summary, we find that by providing client class specificity, Hsp90 cochaperones such as Cdc37 do not merely assist in client recruitment but also shape the post-translational modification landscape of Hsp90 in a client class-specific manner. The Hsp90 chaperone cycle is influenced by multiple phosphorylation events but their regulatory functions are poorly understood. Here, the authors show that phosphorylation and unfolding of cochaperone Cdc37 tailors the Hsp90 chaperone cycle by recruiting kinases that promote distinct phosphorylation patterns.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) is essential in eukaryotes. Hsp90 chaperones proteins that are important determinants of multistep carcinogenesis. The chaperone function of Hsp90 is linked to its ability to bind and hydrolyze ATP. Co-chaperones as well as posttranslational modifications (phosphorylation, SUMOylation, and ubiquitination) are important for its stability and regulation of the ATPase activity. Both mammalian and yeast cells can be used to express and purify Hsp90 and also detect its posttranslational modifications by immunoblotting.

Abstract
Efficient targeting of Hsp70 chaperones to substrate proteins depends on J-domain cochaperones, which in synergism with substrates trigger ATP hydrolysis in Hsp70s and concomitant substrate trapping. We present the crystal structure of the J-domain of Escherichia coli DnaJ in complex with the E. coli Hsp70 DnaK. The J-domain interacts not only with DnaK's nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) but also with its substrate-binding domain (SBD) and packs against the highly conserved interdomain linker. Mutational replacement of contacts between J-domain and SBD strongly reduces the ability of substrates to stimulate ATP hydrolysis in the presence of DnaJ and compromises viability at heat shock temperatures. Our data demonstrate that the J-domain and the substrate do not deliver completely independent signals for ATP hydrolysis, but the J-domain, in addition to its direct influence on Hsp70s catalytic center, makes Hsp70 more responsive for the hydrolysis-inducing signal of the substrate, resulting in efficient substrate trapping.

Abstract
The 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) chaperones the late folding steps of many protein kinases, transcription factors, and a diverse set of other protein clients not related in sequence and structure. Hsp90's interaction with clients appears to be coupled to a series of conformational changes. How these conformational changes contribute to its chaperone activity is currently unclear. Using crosslinking, hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry, and fluorescence experiments, we demonstrate here that the N-terminal domain of Hsp90 rotates by approximately 180° as compared to the crystal structure of yeast Hsp90 in complex with Sba1 and AMPPNP. Surprisingly, Aha1 but not Sba1 suppresses this rotation in the presence of AMPPNP but not in its absence. A minimum length of the largely unstructured linker between N-terminal and middle domain is necessary for this rotation, and interfering with the rotation strongly affects the interaction with Aha1 and the intrinsic and Aha1-stimulated ATPase activity. Surprisingly, suppression of the rotation only affects the activity of some clients and does not compromise yeast viability.
