Abstract
As a molecular chaperone, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) plays important roles in the folding, stabilization, activation, and degradation of over 500 client proteins, and is extensively involved in cell signaling, proliferation, and survival. Thus, it has emerged as an important target in a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and viral infections. Therefore, targeted inhibition of HSP90 provides a valuable and promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of HSP90-related diseases. This review aims to systematically summarize the progress of research on HSP90 inhibitors in the last five years, focusing on their structural features, design strategies, and biological activities. It will refer to the natural products and their derivatives (including novobiocin derivatives, deguelin derivatives, quinone derivatives, and terpenoid derivatives), and to synthetic small molecules (including resorcinol derivatives, pyrazoles derivatives, triazole derivatives, pyrimidine derivatives, benzamide derivatives, benzothiazole derivatives, and benzofuran derivatives). In addition, the major HSP90 small-molecule inhibitors that have moved into clinical trials to date are also presented here.

Rios EI, Gonçalves D, Morano KA, Johnson JL. Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals unique Hsp90 cycle-dependent client interactions. Genetics 2024; 227:iyae057. [PMID: 38606935 PMCID: PMC11151932 DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyae057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Hsp90 is an abundant and essential molecular chaperone that mediates the folding and activation of client proteins in a nucleotide-dependent cycle. Hsp90 inhibition directly or indirectly impacts the function of 10-15% of all proteins due to degradation of client proteins or indirect downstream effects. Due to its role in chaperoning oncogenic proteins, Hsp90 is an important drug target. However, compounds that occupy the ATP-binding pocket and broadly inhibit function have not achieved widespread use due to negative effects. More selective inhibitors are needed; however, it is unclear how to achieve selective inhibition. We conducted a quantitative proteomic analysis of soluble proteins in yeast strains expressing wild-type Hsp90 or mutants that disrupt different steps in the client folding pathway. Out of 2,482 proteins in our sample set (approximately 38% of yeast proteins), we observed statistically significant changes in abundance of 350 (14%) of those proteins (log2 fold change ≥ 1.5). Of these, 257/350 (∼73%) with the strongest differences in abundance were previously connected to Hsp90 function. Principal component analysis of the entire dataset revealed that the effects of the mutants could be separated into 3 primary clusters. As evidence that Hsp90 mutants affect different pools of clients, simultaneous co-expression of 2 mutants in different clusters restored wild-type growth. Our data suggest that the ability of Hsp90 to sample a wide range of conformations allows the chaperone to mediate folding of a broad array of clients and that disruption of conformational flexibility results in client defects dependent on those states.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a predominant member among Heat shock proteins (HSPs), playing a central role in cellular protection and maintenance by aiding in the folding, stabilization, and modification of diverse protein substrates. It collaborates with various co-chaperones to manage ATPase-driven conformational changes in its dimer during client protein processing. Hsp90 is critical in cellular function, supporting the proper operation of numerous proteins, many of which are linked to diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, neurodegenerative conditions, and infectious diseases. Recognizing the significance of these client proteins across diverse diseases, there is a growing interest in targeting Hsp90 and its co-chaperones for potential therapeutic strategies. This review described biological background of HSPs and the structural characteristics of HSP90. Additionally, it discusses the regulatory role of heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) in modulating HSP90 and sheds light on the dynamic chaperone cycle of HSP90. Furthermore, the review discusses the specific contributions of HSP90 in various disease contexts, especially in cancer. It also summarizes HSP90 inhibitors for cancer treatment, offering a thoughtful analysis of their strengths and limitations. These advancements in research expand our understanding of HSP90 and open up new avenues for considering HSP90 as a promising target for therapeutic intervention in a range of diseases.

HSP90/CDC37 inactivation promotes degradation of LKB1 protein to suppress AMPK signaling in bronchial epithelial cells exposed to sulfur mustard analog, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide. Chem Biol Interact 2023; 382:110643. [PMID: 37481222 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
To investigate the role of the liver kinase (LK) B1 protein, an activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), in AMPK signaling suppression when exposed to vesicant, a kind of chemical warfare agent. Cultured human bronchial epithelial cells were inflicted with sulfur mustard (SM) analog, 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) of 0.2-1.0 mM concentration, and cell proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and cellular ATP level were analyzed up to 24 h after the exposure. Focusing on LKB1, heat shock protein (HSP) 90, and cell division cycle (CDC) 37 proteins, the protein expression, phosphorylation, and interaction were examined with western blot, immunofluorescence staining, and/or immunoprecipitation. AMPK signaling was found to be inhibited 24 h after being exposed to either sub-cytotoxic (0.5 mM) or cytotoxic (1.0 mM) concentration of CEES based on MTS assay. Consistently, the degradation of the LKB1 protein and its less interaction with the HSP90/CDC37 complex was confirmed. It was found that 1.0, not 0.5 mM CEES also decreased the CDC37 protein, proteasome activity, and cellular ATP content that modulates HSP90 protein conformation. Inhibiting proteasome activity could alternatively activate autophagy. Finally, either 0.5 or 1.0 mM CEES activated HSP70 and autophagy, and the application of an HSP70 inhibitor blocked autophagy and autophagic degradation of the LKB1 protein. In conclusion, we reported here that AMPK signaling inactivation by CEES was a result of LKB1 protein loss via less protein complex formation and enhanced degradation.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and represents a looming public health crisis as the global population ages. While the etiology of the more common, idiopathic form of the disease remains unknown, the last ten years have seen a breakthrough in our understanding of the genetic forms related to two proteins that regulate a quality control system for the removal of damaged or non-functional mitochondria. Here, we review the structure of these proteins, PINK1, a protein kinase, and parkin, a ubiquitin ligase with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms responsible for their recognition of dysfunctional mitochondria and control of the subsequent ubiquitination cascade. Recent atomic structures have revealed the basis of PINK1 substrate specificity and the conformational changes responsible for activation of PINK1 and parkin catalytic activity. Progress in understanding the molecular basis of mitochondrial quality control promises to open new avenues for therapeutic interventions in PD.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins 90 (Hsp90) are chaperones that promote the proper folding of other proteins under high temperature stress situations. Hsp90s are highly conserved and ubiquitous proteins, and in mammalian cells, they are localized in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria. Cytoplasmic Hsp90 are named Hsp90α and Hsp90β and differ mainly in their expression pattern: Hsp90α is expressed under stress conditions, while Hsp90β is a constitutive protein. Structurally, both share the same characteristics by presenting three well-conserved domains, one of which, the N-terminal domain, has a binding site for ATP to which various drugs targeting this protein, including radicicol, can bind. The protein is mainly found in dimeric form and adopts different conformations depending on the presence of ligands, co-chaperones and client proteins. In this study, some aspects of structure and thermal unfolding of cytoplasmic human Hsp90 were analysed by infrared spectroscopy. The effect on Hsp90β of binding with a non-hydrolysable ATP analogue and radicicol was also examined. The results obtained showed that despite the high similarity in secondary structure the two isoforms exhibit substantial differences in their behaviour during thermal unfolding, as Hsp90α exhibits higher thermal stability, slower denaturation process and different event sequence during unfolding. Ligand binding strongly stabilizes Hsp90β and slightly modifies the secondary structure of the protein as well. Most likely, these structural and thermostability characteristics are closely related to the conformational cycling of the chaperone and its propensity to exist in monomer or dimer form.

Abstract
The chaperone system (CS) of an organism is composed of molecular chaperones, chaperone co-factors, co-chaperones, and chaperone receptors and interactors. It is present throughout the body but with distinctive features for each cell and tissue type. Previous studies pertaining to the CS of the salivary glands have determined the quantitative and distribution patterns for several members, the chaperones, in normal and diseased glands, focusing on tumors. Chaperones are cytoprotective, but can also be etiopathogenic agents causing diseases, the chaperonopathies. Some chaperones such as Hsp90 potentiate tumor growth, proliferation, and metastasization. Quantitative data available on this chaperone in salivary gland tissue with inflammation, and benign and malignant tumors suggest that assessing tissue Hsp90 levels and distribution patterns is useful for differential diagnosis-prognostication, and patient follow up. This, in turn, will reveal clues for developing specific treatment centered on the chaperone, for instance by inhibiting its pro-carcinogenic functions (negative chaperonotherapy). Here, we review data on the carcinogenic mechanisms of Hsp90 and their inhibitors. Hsp90 is the master regulator of the PI3K-Akt-NF-kB axis that promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasization. We discuss pathways and interactions involving these molecular complexes in tumorigenesis and review Hsp90 inhibitors that have been tested in search of an efficacious anti-cancer agent. This targeted therapy deserves extensive investigation in view of its theoretical potential and some positive practical results and considering the need of novel treatments for tumors of the salivary glands as well as other tissues.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a dynamic protein which serves to ensure proper folding of nascent client proteins, regulate transcriptional responses to environmental stress and guide misfolded and damaged proteins to destruction via ubiquitin proteasome pathway. Recent advances in the field of Hsp90 have been made through development of isoform selective inhibitors, Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors and disruption of protein-protein interactions. These approaches have led to alleviation of adverse off-target effects caused by pan-inhibition of Hsp90 using N-terminal inhibitors. In this review, we provide an overview of relevant advances on targeting the Hsp90 C-terminal Domain (CTD) and the development of Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors (CTIs) since 2015.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we investigated whether metabolic dysfunction in women with Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) induces granulosa cell (GC) stress and activates in the endoplamatic reticulum and the mitochondria (UPRer and UPRmt, respectively). METHODS Women who were diagnosed with PCOS (based on the Rotterdam criteria), were divided into two groups, PCOS with insulin resistance (PCOS-IR; n = 20) and PCOS with no insulin resistance (PCOS-nIR; n = 20), and compared to healthy oocyte donors (CONT; n = 20). Insulin resistance (IR) was assessed on the results of homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) that determines IR using the concentration of fasting plasma glucose and fasting insuline. Expression of UPRer genes (i.e., IRE1, ATF4, ATF6, XBP1, BIP, and CHOP), and UPRmt genes (i.e., HSP60, HSP10, CLPP, and HSP40) was assessed in cumulus GCs by qRT-PCR. RESULTS We found that several genes involved in UPRer and UPRmt were overexpressed in the GCs of PCOS-IR and PCOS-nIR compared to CONT. IRE1, ATF4 and XBP1, that are activated by ER stress, were significantly overexpressed in PCOS-IR compared to CONT. BIP and CHOP were overexpressed in PCOS groups compared to CONT. HSP10 and HSP40 were upregulated in PCOS-IR and PCOS-nIR groups compared to the CONT. HSP60 and CLPP showed no statistical different expression in PCOS-IR and PCOS-nIR compared to CONT group. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the GCs of women with PCOS (with or without IR) are metabolically distressed and upregulate UPRer and UPRmt genes. Our study contributes to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathological changes that occur in the follicular microenvironment of women with PCOS.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is one of the major guardians of cellular protein homeostasis, through its specialized molecular chaperone properties. While Hsp90 has been extensively studied in many prokaryotic and higher eukaryotic model organisms, its structural, functional, and biological properties in parasitic protozoans are less well defined. Hsp90 collaborates with a wide range of co-chaperones that fine-tune its protein folding pathway. Co-chaperones play many roles in the regulation of Hsp90, including selective targeting of client proteins, and the modulation of its ATPase activity, conformational changes, and post-translational modifications. Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most lethal form of human malaria. The survival of the malaria parasite inside the host and the vector depends on the action of molecular chaperones. The major cytosolic P. falciparum Hsp90 (PfHsp90) is known to play an essential role in the development of the parasite, particularly during the intra-erythrocytic stage in the human host. Although PfHsp90 shares significant sequence and structural similarity with human Hsp90, it has several major structural and functional differences. Furthermore, its co-chaperone network appears to be substantially different to that of the human host, with the potential absence of a key homolog. Indeed, PfHsp90 and its interface with co-chaperones represent potential drug targets for antimalarial drug discovery. In this review, we critically summarize the current understanding of the properties of Hsp90, and the associated co-chaperones of the malaria parasite.

Abstract
Photoreceptors are sensitive neuronal cells with great metabolic demands, as they are responsible for carrying out visual phototransduction, a complex and multistep process that requires the exquisite coordination of a large number of signalling protein components. Therefore, the viability of photoreceptors relies on mechanisms that ensure a well-balanced and functional proteome that maintains the protein homeostasis, or proteostasis, of the cell. This review explores how the different isoforms of Hsp90, including the cytosolic Hsp90α/β, the mitochondrial TRAP1, and the ER-specific GRP94, are involved in the different proteostatic mechanisms of photoreceptors, and elaborates on Hsp90 function when retinal homeostasis is disturbed. In addition, several studies have shown that chemical manipulation of Hsp90 has significant consequences, both in healthy and degenerating retinae, and this can be partially attributed to the fact that Hsp90 interacts with important photoreceptor-associated client proteins. Here, the interaction of Hsp90 with the retina-specific client proteins PDE6 and GRK1 will be further discussed, providing additional insights for the role of Hsp90 in retinal disease.

Abstract
Tumor-secreted proteins can provide numerous molecular targets for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Of note, pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is secreted by tumor cells to promote malignant progression, while its regulatory mechanism or the interacting network remains uncovered. In the present study, we identified extracellular heat shock protein 90 alpha (eHsp90α) as one potential interacting protein of ePKM2 by mass spectrometry (MS), which was further verified by pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation analysis. Later, we found that eHsp90α enhanced the effect of ePKM2 on migration and invasion of lung cancer cells. Blocking of Hsp90α activity, on the other hand, attenuated tumor migration or invasion induced by ePKM2. Eventually, the in vivo role of Hsp90α in regulating ePKM2 activity was validated by the mouse xenograft tumor model. Mechanistically, we found that eHsp90α binds to and stabilizes ePKM2 to protect it from degradation in the extracellular environment. Besides, eHsp90α promoted the interaction of ePKM2 with cell surface receptor GRP78, which leads to the activation of the ePKM2/GRP78/AKT axis. Collectively, we unraveled the novel molecular mechanism of eHsp90α in regulating ePKM2 activity during tumor progression, which is beneficial for the development of new treatments against lung cancer.

Xu H. Non-Equilibrium Protein Folding and Activation by ATP-Driven Chaperones. Biomolecules 2022; 12:832. [PMID: 35740957 PMCID: PMC9221429 DOI: 10.3390/biom12060832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent experimental studies suggest that ATP-driven molecular chaperones can stabilize protein substrates in their native structures out of thermal equilibrium. The mechanism of such non-equilibrium protein folding is an open question. Based on available structural and biochemical evidence, I propose here a unifying principle that underlies the conversion of chemical energy from ATP hydrolysis to the conformational free energy associated with protein folding and activation. I demonstrate that non-equilibrium folding requires the chaperones to break at least one of four symmetry conditions. The Hsp70 and Hsp90 chaperones each break a different subset of these symmetries and thus they use different mechanisms for non-equilibrium protein folding. I derive an upper bound on the non-equilibrium elevation of the native concentration, which implies that non-equilibrium folding only occurs in slow-folding proteins that adopt an unstable intermediate conformation in binding to ATP-driven chaperones. Contrary to the long-held view of Anfinsen's hypothesis that proteins fold to their conformational free energy minima, my results predict that some proteins may fold into thermodynamically unstable native structures with the assistance of ATP-driven chaperones, and that the native structures of some chaperone-dependent proteins may be shaped by their chaperone-mediated folding pathways.

Anti-dermatophytic activity of cold atmospheric plasma against Trichophyton rubrum via affecting fungal growth, morphology, drug susceptibility and HSP90 gene expression. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9481.

Abstract
Trichophyton rubrum, a major human pathogenic dermatophyte, is responsible for the most recurrent dermatophytoses as globally important superficial fungal infections. Typical chemotherapy is used to handle such infections; however, emerging drug resistance and side effects necessitate the new remedial method development. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is an emerging technology, consisted of neutral and charged particles and photons newly developed as a potent and safe antimicrobial technique to combat drug-resistant microbial pathogens. In the present study, the vast effects of CAP irradiation containing oxygen (2%) and helium (98%) on T. rubrum growth and pathogenicity were explored. After exposure of T. rubrum to CAP jet for 90, 120, 150, 180, and 210 s in 96-well microtiter plates, cell morphology and viability, ergosterol content of fungal hyphae, HSP90 gene expression, and the pattern of drug susceptibility were studied by using electron microscopy, RT-qPCR, spectrophotometry, disk diffusion and CLSI microbroth dilution methods. CAP irradiation significantly inhibited the fungal growth by 25.83 to 89.10%, reduced fungal cell viability by 11.68 to 87.71%, disrupted cellular membranous organelles and structures of the fungal hyphae, and suppressed efficiently the expression of HSP90 gene by 2 folds in 210 s exposure. Taken together, our results demonstrated that CAP is an efficient tool with potential in-vivo therapeutic applications against chronic dermatophytosis caused by T. rubrum due to its effectiveness, harmless, and ease of access.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones have an essential role for the maintenance of a balanced protein homeostasis. Here, we investigate how protein kinases are recruited and loaded to the Hsp90-Cdc37 complex, the first step during Hsp90-mediated chaperoning that leads to enhanced client kinase stability and activation. We show that conformational dynamics of all partners is a critical feature of the underlying loading mechanism. The kinome co-chaperone Cdc37 exists primarily in a dynamic extended conformation but samples a low-populated, well-defined compact structure. Exchange between these two states is maintained in an assembled Hsp90-Cdc37 complex and is necessary for substrate loading. Breathing motions at the N-lobe of a free kinase domain partially expose the kinase segment trapped in the Hsp90 dimer downstream in the cycle. Thus, client dynamics poise for chaperone dependence. Hsp90 is not directly involved during loading, and Cdc37 is assigned the task of sensing clients by stabilizing the preexisting partially unfolded client state.

Abstract
Cell division cycle protein 37 (Cdc37) is a molecular chaperone that actively participates in many intracellular physiological and biochemical processes as well as pathogen infection. However, the function of Cdc37 in silkworm cells under Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection is unknown. We cloned and identified BmCdc37, a Cdc37 gene from B. mori, which is highly conserved among other species. After BmNPV infection, the expression level of the BmCdc37 gene was up-regulated and showed an expression pattern similar to the BmHsp90 gene, which relies on Cdc37 to stabilize and activate specific protein kinases. The immunofluorescence, bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC), and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays all indicated that BmCdc37 interacts with BmHsp90 in silkworm cells. Both BmCdc37 and BmHsp90 promote the reproduction of BmNPV. Co-expression of BmCdc37 and BmHsp90 was better at promoting virus proliferation than overexpression alone. These findings all indicate that BmCdc37 plays an active role in the proliferation of BmNPV.

Abstract
Photomorphogenesis, light-mediated development, is an essential feature of all terrestrial plants. While chloroplast development and brassinosteroid (BR) signaling are known players in photomorphogenesis, proteins that regulate both pathways have yet to be identified. Here we report that DE-ETIOLATION IN THE DARK AND YELLOWING IN THE LIGHT (DAY), a membrane protein containing DnaJ-like domain, plays a dual-role in photomorphogenesis by stabilizing the BR receptor, BRI1, as well as a key enzyme in chlorophyll biosynthesis, POR. DAY localizes to both the endomembrane and chloroplasts via its first transmembrane domain and chloroplast transit peptide, respectively, and interacts with BRI1 and POR in their respective subcellular compartments. Using genetic analysis, we show that DAY acts independently on BR signaling and chlorophyll biogenesis. Collectively, this work uncovers DAY as a factor that simultaneously regulates BR signaling and chloroplast development, revealing a key regulator of photomorphogenesis that acts across cell compartments.

Abstract
The 90-kiloDalton (kD) heat shock protein (Hsp90) is a ubiquitous, ATP-dependent molecular chaperone whose primary function is to ensure the proper folding of several hundred client protein substrates. Because many of these clients are overexpressed or become mutated during cancer progression, Hsp90 inhibition has been pursued as a potential strategy for cancer as one can target multiple oncoproteins and signaling pathways simultaneously. The first discovered Hsp90 inhibitors, geldanamycin and radicicol, function by competitively binding to Hsp90's N-terminal binding site and inhibiting its ATPase activity. However, most of these N-terminal inhibitors exhibited detrimental activities during clinical evaluation due to induction of the pro-survival heat shock response as well as poor selectivity amongst the four isoforms. Consequently, alternative approaches to Hsp90 inhibition have been pursued and include C-terminal inhibition, isoform-selective inhibition, and the disruption of Hsp90 protein-protein interactions. Since the Hsp90 protein folding cycle requires the assembly of Hsp90 into a large heteroprotein complex, along with various co-chaperones and immunophilins, the development of small molecules that prevent assembly of the complex offers an alternative method of Hsp90 inhibition.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is an indispensable molecular chaperone that facilitates the maturation of numerous oncoproteins in cancer cells, including protein kinases, ribonucleoproteins, steroid hormone receptors, and transcription factors. Although over 30 HSP90 inhibitors have steadily entered clinical trials, further clinical advancement has been restricted by their limited efficacy, inevitable heat shock response, and multiple side-effects, likely induced via an ATP inhibition mechanism. Since both ATP and various co-chaperones play essential roles in the HSP90 chaperone cycle to achieve integrated function, optimal therapeutics require an understanding of the dynamic interactions among HSP90, ATP, and cochaperones. To date, continuous research has promoted the exploration of the cochaperone cell division cycle 37 (CDC37) as a kinase-specific recognizer and has shown that the HSP90-CDC37-kinase complex is particularly relevant in cancers. Indeed, disrupting the HSP90-CDC37-kinase complex, rather than totally blocking the ATP function of HSP90, is emerging as an alternative way to avoid the limitations of current inhibitors. In this review, we first briefly introduce the HSP90-CDC37-kinase cycle and present the currently available approaches for inhibitor development targeting this cycle and provide insights into selective regulation of the kinase clients of HSP90 by more directional ways.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that also play important roles in the activation of the heat shock response (HSR). The HSR is an evolutionary conserved and protective mechanism that is used to counter abnormal physiological conditions, stressors, and disease states, such as those exemplified in cancer and/or neurodegeneration. In normal cells, heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1), the transcription factor that regulates the HSR, remains in a dormant multiprotein complex that is formed upon association with chaperones (Hsp90, Hsp70, etc.), co-chaperones, and client proteins. However, under cellular stress, HSF-1 dissociates from Hsp90 and induces the transcriptional upregulation of Hsp70 to afford protection against the encountered cellular stress. As a consequence of both peripheral and central neuropathies, cellular stress occurs and results in the accumulation of unfolded and/or misfolded proteins, which can be counterbalanced by activation of the HSR. Since Hsp90 is the primary regulator of the HSR, modulation of Hsp90 by small molecules represents an attractive therapeutic approach against both peripheral and central neuropathies.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a set of conserved proteins that have evolved to assist the folding of many newly synthesized proteins by preventing their misfolding under conditions such as elevated temperatures, hypoxia, acidosis and nutrient deprivation. Molecular chaperones belong to the heat shock protein (HSP) family. They have been identified as important participants in immune functions including antigen presentation, immunostimulation and immunomodulation, and play crucial roles in metabolic rewiring and epigenetic circuits. Growing evidence has accumulated to indicate that metabolic pathways and their metabolites influence the function of immune cells and can alter transcriptional activity through epigenetic modification of (de)methylation and (de)acetylation. However, whether molecular chaperones can regulate metabolic programs to influence immune activity is still largely unclear. In this review, we discuss the available data on the biological function of molecular chaperones to immune responses during inflammation, with a specific focus on the interplay between molecular chaperones and metabolic pathways that drive immune cell fate and function.

Abstract
Modulation of protein fate decision and protein homeostasis plays a significant role in altering the protein level, which acts as an orientation to develop drugs with new mechanisms. The molecular chaperones exert significant biological functions on modulation of protein fate decision and protein homeostasis under constantly changing environmental conditions through extensive protein–protein interactions (PPIs) with their client proteins. With the help of molecular chaperone machinery, the processes of protein folding, trafficking, quality control and degradation of client proteins could be arranged properly. The core members of molecular chaperones, including heat shock proteins (HSPs) family and their co-chaperones, are emerging as potential drug targets since they are involved in numerous disease conditions. Development of small molecule modulators targeting not only chaperones themselves but also the PPIs among chaperones, co-chaperones and clients is attracting more and more attention. These modulators are widely used as chemical tools to study chaperone networks as well as potential drug candidates for a broader set of diseases. Here, we reviewed the key checkpoints of molecular chaperone machinery HSPs as well as their co-chaperones to discuss the small molecules targeting on them for modulation of protein fate decision.

Abstract
Protein folding quality control in cells requires the activity of a class of proteins known as molecular chaperones. Heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90), a multidomain ATP driven molecular machine, is a prime representative of this family of proteins. Interactions between Hsp90, its co-chaperones, and client proteins have been shown to be important in facilitating the correct folding and activation of clients. Hsp90 levels and functions are elevated in tumor cells. Here, we computationally predict the regions on the native structures of clients c-Abl, c-Src, Cdk4, B-Raf and Glucocorticoid Receptor, that have the highest probability of undergoing local unfolding, despite being ordered in their native structures. Such regions represent potential ideal interaction points with the Hsp90-system. We synthesize mimics spanning these regions and confirm their interaction with partners of the Hsp90 complex (Hsp90, Cdc37 and Aha1) by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Designed mimics selectively disrupt the association of their respective clients with the Hsp90 machinery, leaving unrelated clients unperturbed and causing apoptosis in cancer cells. Overall, selective targeting of Hsp90 protein-protein interactions is achieved without causing indiscriminate degradation of all clients, setting the stage for the development of therapeutics based on specific chaperone:client perturbation.

Abstract
Nik-related kinase (Nrk) is a member of the germinal center kinase IV family and suppresses Akt signaling. In vivo, Nrk prevents placental hyperplasia and breast cancer formation. Here, we show that Nrk is regulated by the chaperone-dependent ubiquitin ligase carboxyl terminus of heat-shock protein (Hsp)70-interacting protein (CHIP). Immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis reveal that Nrk preferentially interacts with CHIP and Hsp70/90 family proteins. Nrk protein levels are decreased by CHIP overexpression and increased by siRNA-mediated CHIP knockdown. Our results indicate that Nrk is ubiquitinated by CHIP in a chaperone-dependent manner, resulting in its proteasomal degradation. CHIP targets a fraction of Nrk molecules that have lost the ability to regulate Akt signaling. We conclude that CHIP plays an important role in regulating Nrk protein levels.

Abstract
Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFIT) genes are prominent interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). The human IFIT gene family consists of four genes named IFIT1, IFIT2, IFIT3, and IFIT5. The expression of IFIT genes is very low in most cell types, whereas their expression is greatly enhanced by interferon treatment, viral infection, and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The proteins encoded by IFIT genes have multiple tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs. IFIT proteins do not have any known enzymatic roles. However, they execute a variety of cellular functions by mediating protein-protein interactions and forming multiprotein complexes with cellular and viral proteins through their multiple TPR motifs. The versatile tertiary structure of TPR motifs in IFIT proteins enables them to be involved in distinct biological functions, including host innate immunity, antiviral immune response, virus-induced translation initiation, replication, double-stranded RNA signaling, and PAMP recognition. The current understanding of the IFIT proteins and their role in cellular signaling mechanisms is limited to the antiviral immune response and innate immunity. However, recent studies on IFIT protein functions and their involvement in various molecular signaling mechanisms have implicated them in cancer progression and metastasis. In this article, we focused on critical molecular, biological and oncogenic functions of human IFIT proteins by reviewing their prognostic significance in health and cancer. Research suggests that IFIT proteins could be novel therapeutic targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Wound closure in the Drosophila larval epidermis mainly involves nonproliferative, endocyling epithelial cells. Consequently, it is largely mediated by cell growth and migration. We discovered that both cell growth and migration in Drosophila require the cochaperone-encoding gene cdc37. Larvae lacking cdc37 in the epidermis failed to close wounds, and the cells of the epidermis failed to change cell shape and polarize. Likewise, wound-induced cell growth was significantly reduced, and correlated with a reduction in the size of the cell nucleus. The c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, which is essential for wound closure, was not typically activated in injured cdc37 knockdown larvae. In addition, JNK, Hep, Mkk4, and Tak1 protein levels were reduced, consistent with previous reports showing that Cdc37 is important for the stability of various client kinases. Protein levels of the integrin β subunit and its wound-induced protein expression were also reduced, reflecting the disruption of JNK activation, which is crucial for expression of integrin β during wound closure. These results are consistent with a role of Cdc37 in maintaining the stability of the JNK pathway kinases, thus mediating cell growth and migration during Drosophila wound healing.

Abstract
The mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK1/2 (ERKs, extracellular-regulated protein kinases) plays important roles in a wide spectrum of cellular processes and have been implicated in many disease states. The spatiotemporal regulation of ERK activity has been extensively studied. However, scarce information has been available regarding the quality control of the kinases to scavenge malfunctioning ERKs. Using site-specific mutagenesis and mass spectrometry, we found that the disruption of the conserved H-bond between Y210 and E237 of ERK1 through point mutation at or naturally occurring nitration on Y210 initiates a quality control program dependent on chaperon systems and CHIP (C-terminal of Hsp70-interacting protein)-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. The H-bond is also important for the quality control of ERK2, but through a distinct mechanism. These findings clearly demonstrate how malfunctioning ERKs are eliminated when cells are in certain stress conditions or unhealthy states, and could represent a general mechanism for scavenging malfunctioning kinases in stress conditions.

Abstract
HSP90 is a ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone implicated in the correct folding and maturation of a plethora of proteins including protein kinases and transcription factors. While disruption of chaperone activity was associated with augmented cancer cell death and decreased tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, the regulation of HSP90 is not clearly understood. Here we report that treatment of cancer cells with cold physical plasma, an emerging and less aggressive tumor therapy, resulted in ROS generation which subsequently triggered the cleavage of HSP90. Notably, cleavage of HSP90 was followed by the degradation of PKD2, a crucial regulator of tumor growth and angiogenesis. Pre-sensitization of cancer cells with subliminal doses of PU-H71, an HSP90 inhibitor currently under clinical evaluation, followed by treatment with cold-plasma, synergistically and negatively impacted on the viability of cancer cells. Taken together, cold-plasma can be used in conjunction with pharmacologic treatment in order to target the expression and activity of HSP90 and the downstream client proteins implicated in various cancer cell capabilities.

Abstract
About 15% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas (ICCs) express constitutively active fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion proteins (FFs) generated by chromosomal translocations. FFs have been nominated as oncogenic drivers because administration of FGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (F-TKIs) can elicit meaningful objective clinical responses in patients carrying FF-positive ICC. Thus, optimization of FF targeting is a pressing clinical need. Herein, we report that three different FFs, previously isolated from ICC samples, are heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) clients and undergo rapid degradation upon HSP90 pharmacological blockade by the clinically advanced HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib. Combining catalytic suppression by the F-TKI BGJ398 with HSP90 blockade by ganetespib suppressed FGFR2-TACC3 (transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3) signaling in cultured cells more effectively than either BGJ398 or ganetespib in isolation. The BGJ398 + ganetespib combo was also superior to single agents when tested in mice carrying subcutaneous tumors generated by transplantation of FGFR2-TACC3 NIH3T3 transformants. Of note, FF mutants known to enforce clinical resistance to BGJ398 in ICC patients retained full sensitivity to ganetespib in cultured cells. Conclusion: Our data provide a proof of principle that upfront treatment with the BGJ398 + ganetespib combo improves therapeutic targeting of FGFR2 fusions in an experimental setting, which may be relevant to precision medicine approaches to FF-driven ICC.

Abstract
IKKβ, an essential kinase of NF-κB signaling, is composed of an N-terminal kinase domain (KD) and a C-terminal scaffolding domain, containing a ubiquitin-like domain (ULD). The Hsp90 chaperon has special responsibility for folding of protein kinases including IKKβ. Here, we found that Hsp90 inhibition induced IKKβ degradation, which is partially mediated by Keap1. Geldanamycin (GA), a Hsp90 inhibitor, enhances association of IKKβ with Keap1 through the binding site in KD, and translocates IKKβ to detergent-insoluble fractions leading to its autophagic degradation. An electrophile tBHQ suppressed Keap1-mediated proteasomal Nrf2 degradation but not autophagic IKKβ degradation. Substitution mutation of Leu353 to Ala in the ULD destabilizes IKKβ, enhances its association with Keap1, translocates it to detergent-insoluble fractions, and causes its autophagic degradation. These results suggest that Keap1 is involved in the degradation of structural destabilized IKKβ and negative regulation of NF-κB under proteotoxic stress.

Abstract
Alzheimer, the fourth leading cause of death embodies a key responsible event including formation of β-amyloid protein clustering to amyloid plaque on blood vessels. The origin of above events is Amyloid precursor protein (APP) which is an integral membrane protein known for its function in synapses formation. Modern research had proposed that the over expression of DYRK1A (Dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase1A, a family of protein kinases, positioned within the Down's syndrome critical region (DSCR) on human chromosome 21causes phosphorylation of APP protein resulting in its cleavage to Aβ 40, 42 and tau proteins (regulated by beta and gamma secretase) which plays critical role in early onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) detected in Down's syndrome (DS), leading to permanent functional and structural deformities which results ultimately into neuro-degeneration and neuronal death. Therefore, DYRK1A emerges as a potential target for prevention of neuro-degeneration and hence Alzheimer. Presently, the treatment methods for Down's syndrome, as well as Alzheimer's disease are extremely biased and represent a major deficiency for therapeutic necessities. We hereby, focus our review on the current status of the research and contributions in the development of DYRK1A inhibitors.

Abstract
Mitochondria perform essential roles as crucial organelles for cellular and systemic energy homeostasis, and as signaling hubs, which coordinate nuclear transcriptional responses to the intra- and extra-cellular environment. Complex human diseases, including diabetes, obesity, fatty liver disease and aging-related degenerative diseases are associated with alterations in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) function. However, a recent series of studies in animal models have revealed that an integrated response to tolerable mitochondrial stress appears to render cells less susceptible to subsequent aging processes and metabolic stresses, which is a key feature of mitohormesis. The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is a central part of the mitohormetic response and is a retrograde signaling pathway, which utilizes the mitochondria-to-nucleus communication network. Our understanding of the UPRmt has contributed to elucidating the role of mitochondria in metabolic adaptation and lifespan regulation. In this review, we discuss and integrate recent data from the literature on the present status of mitochondrial OxPhos function in the development of metabolic diseases, relying on evidence from human and other animal studies, which points to alterations in mitochondrial function as a key factor in the regulation of metabolic diseases and conclude with a discussion on the specific roles of UPRmt and mitohormesis as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of obesity and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Chaperones are a highly interactive group of proteins that function globally in many cellular processes involved in maintaining protein homeostasis. Traditional biochemical assays typically do not provide a complete view of the intricate networks through which chaperones collaborate to promote proteostasis. Recent advances in high-throughput systematic analyses of chaperone interactions have uncovered that chaperones display a remarkable cooperativity in their interactions with numerous client proteins. This cooperativity has been found to be a fundamental aspect of a properly functioning cell. Aberrant formation or improper regulation of these interactions can easily lead to disease states. Herein, we provide an overview of the use of large-scale interaction assays, whether physical (protein-protein) or genetic (epistatic), to study chaperone interaction networks. Importantly, we discuss the ongoing need for such studies to determine the mechanisms by which protein homeostasis is controlled in the cell.

Abstract
The mammalian HSP90 family of proteins is a cluster of highly conserved molecules that are involved in myriad cellular processes. Their distribution in various cellular compartments underlines their essential roles in cellular homeostasis. HSP90 and its co-chaperones orchestrate crucial physiological processes such as cell survival, cell cycle control, hormone signaling, and apoptosis. Conversely, HSP90, and its secreted forms, contribute to the development and progress of serious pathologies, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, targeting HSP90 is an attractive strategy for the treatment of neoplasms and other diseases. This manuscript will review the general structure, regulation and function of HSP90 family and their potential role in pathophysiology.

Heme Regulated Inhibitor (HRI) is known to get activated in various stresses such as heme deficiency, heat shock, heavy metal toxicity etc. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), a ubiquitous cytoplasmic protein interacts with HRI in order to regulate protein synthesis. However, it still remains to establish this interaction of HRI and Hsp90 at cellular levels and how this modulation of HRI activity is mediated by Hsp90 during stress. In the present report, using co-immunoprecipitation analysis we show that HRI interacts with Hsp90 and this association is independent of other co-chaperones in in vitro conditions. Further, analysis using truncated domains of HRI revealed that the K1 subdomain is essential for HRI - Hsp90 complex formation. Our in silico protein - protein interaction studies also indicated interaction of Hsp90 with K1 subdomain of HRI. Mammalian two hybrid assay validated this HRI - Hsp90 interaction at cellular levels. When the in vitro kinase assay was carried out with the co-immunoprecipitated complex of HRI - Hsp90, an increase in the kinase activity was observed resulting elevated levels of eIF2α phosphorylation upon heavy metal stress and heat shock. Thus, our results clearly indicate modulation of HRI kinase activity with simultaneous Hsp90 association under stress conditions.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKKs), are structurally related to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (lipid kinase), but possess protein kinase activities. PIKKs include ATM, ATR, DNA-PK, mTOR and SMG1, key regulators of cell proliferation and genome maintenance. TRRAP, which is devoid of protein kinase activity, is the sixth member of the PIKK family. PIKK family members are gigantic proteins in the range of 300-500 kDa. It has become apparent in the last decade that the stability or maturation of the PIKK family members depends on a molecular chaperone called the Tel2-Tti1-Tti2 (TTT) complex. Several lines of evidence have established a model in which TTT connects to the Hsp90 chaperone through the Rvb1-Rvb2-Tah1-Pih1 (R2TP) complex in mammalian and yeast cells. However, recent studies of yeast cells indicate that TTT is able to form different complexes. These observations raise a possibility that several different mechanisms regulate TTT-mediated protein stability of PIKKs.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a diverse group of highly conserved proteins that transiently interact with partially folded polypeptide chains during normal cellular processes such as protein translation, translocation, and disassembly of protein complexes. Prior to folding or after denaturation, hydrophobic residues that are normally sequestered within a folded protein are exposed to the aqueous environment and are prone to aggregation or misfolding. Multiple classes of molecular chaperones, such as Hsp70s and Hsp40s, recognize and transiently bind polypeptides with exposed hydrophobic stretches in order to prevent misfolding. Other types of chaperones, such as Hsp90, have more specialized functions in that they appear to interact with only a subset of cellular proteins. This chapter focuses on the role of Hsp90 and partner co-chaperones in promoting the folding and activation of a diverse group of proteins with critical roles in cellular signaling and function.

Cell Stress Chaperones 2018; 23:29-43. [PMID: 28681272 PMCID: PMC5741579 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-017-0821-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2016] [Revised: 06/10/2017] [Accepted: 06/14/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Tribolium castaneum, the red flour beetle, is a major agriculture pest that damages stored grains and cereal products. Heat-shock protein 90 of T. castaneum (Tchsp90) has been reported to play pivotal roles in heat stress response, development, reproduction, and life span. However, the signaling pathway of Tchsp90 remains unclear. Thus, the global transcriptome profiles between RNA interference (RNAi)-treated insects (ds-Tchsp90) and control insects of T. castaneum were investigated and compared by RNA sequencing. In all, we obtained 14,145,451 sequence reads, which assembled into 13,243 genes. Among these genes, 461 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the ds-Tchsp90 and control samples. These DEGs were classified into 44 gene ontology (GO) functional groups, including the cellular process, the response to stimulus, the immune system process, the development process, and reproduction. Interestingly, knocking down the expression of Tchsp90 suppressed both the DNA replication and cell division signaling pathways, which most likely modulated the effects of Tchsp90 on development, reproduction, and life span. Moreover, the DEGs encoding AnnexinB9, frizzled-4, sno, Fem1B, TSL, and CSW might be related to the regulation of the development and reproduction of ds-Tchsp90 insects. The DEGs including TLR6, PGRP2, defensin1, and defensin2 were involved in heat stress and immune response simultaneously, which suggested that cross talk might exist between immunity and stress response. Additionally, RNAi of Tchsp90 altered large-scale serine protease (sp) gene expression patterns and amplified the SP signaling pathway to regulate the development and reproduction as well as the stress response and innate immunity in T. castaneum. All these results shed new light onto the regulatory mechanism of Tchsp90 involved in insect physiology and could further facilitate research into appropriate and sustainable pest control management.

Abstract
Lately, the HSP90 client serine/threonine kinase STK33 emerged to be required by cancer cells for their viability and proliferation. However, its mechanistic contribution to carcinogenesis is not clearly understood. Here we report that elevated STK33 expression correlates with advanced stages of human pancreatic and colorectal carcinomas. Impaired proliferation and augmented apoptosis associated with genetic abrogation of STK33 were paralleled by decreased vascularization in tumor xenografts. In line with this, ectopic STK33 not only promoted tumor growth after pharmacologic inhibition of HSP90 using structurally divergent small molecules currently in clinical development, but also restored blood vessel formation in vivo. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that HSP90-stabilized STK33 interacts with and regulates hypoxia-driven accumulation and activation of HIF-1α as well as secretion of VEGF-A in hypoxic cancer cells. In addition, our study reveals a putative cooperation between STK33 and other HSP90 client protein kinases involved in molecular and cellular events through which cancer cells ensure their survival by securing the oxygen and nutrient supply. Altogether, our findings indicate that STK33 interferes with signals from hypoxia and HSP90 to promote tumor angiogenesis and tumor growth.

Abstract
Despite the essential functions of Hsp90, little is known about the mechanism that controls substrate entry into its chaperone cycle. We show that the role of Cdc37 cochaperone reaches beyond that of an adaptor protein and find that it participates in the selective recruitment of only client kinases. Cdc37 recognizes kinase specificity determinants in both clients and nonclients and acts as a general kinase scanning factor. Kinase sorting within the client-to-nonclient continuum relies on the ability of Cdc37 to challenge the conformational stability of clients by locally unfolding them. This metastable conformational state has high affinity for Cdc37 and forms stable complexes through a multidomain cochaperone interface. The interaction with nonclients is not accompanied by conformational changes of the substrate and results in substrate dissociation. Collectively, Cdc37 performs a quality control of protein kinases, where induced conformational instability acts as a "flag" for Hsp90 dependence and stable cochaperone association.

Abstract
Two missense mutations of the DYRK1B gene have recently been found to co-segregate with a rare autosomal-dominant form of metabolic syndrome. This gene encodes a member of the DYRK family of protein kinases, which depend on tyrosine autophosphorylation to acquire the catalytically active conformation. The mutations (H90P and R102C) affect a structural element named DYRK homology (DH) box and did not directly interfere with the conformation of the catalytic domain in a structural model of DYRK1B. Cellular assays showed that the mutations did not alter the specific activity of mature kinase molecules. However, a significant part of the mutant DYRK1B protein accumulated in detergent-insoluble cytoplasmic aggregates and was underphosphorylated on tyrosine. The mutant DYRK1B variants were more vulnerable to the HSP90 inhibitor ganetespib and showed enhanced binding to the co-chaperone CDC37 as compared to wild type DYRK1B. These results support the hypothesis that the mutations in the DH box interfere with the maturation of DYRK1B by tyrosine autophosphorylation and compromise the conformational stability of the catalytic domain, which renders the kinase susceptible to misfolding.

Interplay between HSP90 and Nrf2 pathways in diabetes-associated atherosclerosis. CLINICA E INVESTIGACION EN ARTERIOSCLEROSIS 2017; 29:51-59.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oxidative stress and inflammation are determinant processes in the development of diabetic vascular complications. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) overexpression in atherosclerotic plaques plays a role in sustaining inflammatory mechanisms, and its specific inhibition prevents atherosclerosis. The present work investigates, in a mouse model of diabetes-driven atherosclerosis, whether atheroprotection by pharmacological HSP90 inhibition is accomplished by bolstering antioxidant defense mechanisms headed by nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2). METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetic apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were randomized to receive vehicle or HSP90 inhibitor (17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin, 4mg/kg) for 10 weeks. Aortic root sections were analyzed for plaque size and composition, transcription factor activity, and expression of inflammatory and antioxidant markers. In vitro studies were performed in murine macrophages cultured under hyperglycemic conditions. RESULTS Treatment with HSP90 inhibitor promoted the activation of Nrf2 in the aortic tissue of diabetic mice (predominantly localized in macrophages and smooth muscle cells) and also in cultured cells. Nrf2 induction was associated with a concomitant inhibition of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in atherosclerotic plaques, thus resulting in a significant reduction in lesion size and inflammatory component (leukocytes and cytokines). Furthermore, atheroprotection by HSP90 inhibition was linked to the induction of cytoprotective HSP70, antioxidant enzymes (heme oxygenase-1, superoxide dismutase and catalase) and autophagy machinery (LC3 and p62/SQSTM1) in aortic tissue. CONCLUSION HSP90 inhibition protects from atherosclerosis in experimental diabetes through the induction of Nrf2-dependent cytoprotective mechanisms, reinforcing its therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The serine/threonine kinase Unc-51-like kinase-1 (Ulk1) is thought to be essential for induction of autophagy, an intracellular bulk degradation process that is activated by various stresses. Although several proteins have been suggested as Ulk1 substrates during autophagic process, it still remains largely unknown about Ulk1's physiological substrates. Here, by performing in vitro and in vivo phosphorylation assay, we report that the co-chaperone cell division cycle protein 37 (Cdc37) is a Ulk1 substrate. Ulk1-mediated phosphorylation of Ser-339 in Cdc37 compromised the recruitment of client kinases to a complex comprising Cdc37 and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) but only modestly affected Cdc37 binding to Hsp90. Because the recruitment of protein kinase clients to the Hsp90 complex is essential for their stability and functions, Ser-339 phosphorylation of Cdc37 disrupts its ability as a co-chaperone to coordinate Hsp90. Hsp90 inhibitors are cancer chemotherapeutic agents by inducing depletion of clients, many of which are oncogenes. Upon treatment with an Hsp90 inhibitor in cancer cells, Ulk1 promoted the degradation of Hsp90-Cdc37 client kinases, resulting in increased cellular sensitivity to Hsp90 inhibitors. Thus, our study provides evidence for an anti-proliferative role of Ulk1 in response to Hsp90 inhibition in cancer cells.

Abstract
AIM Inhibition of heat shock protein (Hsp90) has been proven to be effective in overriding primary and acquired resistance of kinase inhibitors. In this study, we investigated the role of FS-108, a newly developed Hsp90 inhibitor, to overcome gefitinib resistance in EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer cells. METHODS Cell proliferation was assessed using the SRB assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. Protein expression was examined by Western blotting. The in vivo effectiveness of FS-108 was determined in an NCI-H1975 subcutaneous xenograft model. RESULTS FS-108 triggered obvious growth inhibition in gefitinib-resistant HCC827/GR6, NCI-H1650 and NCI-H1975 cells through inducing G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis. FS-108 treatment resulted in a remarkable degradation of key client proteins involved in gefitinib resistance and further abrogated their downstream signaling pathways. Interestingly, FS-108 alone exerted an identical or superior effect on circumventing gefitinib resistance compared to combined kinase inhibition. Finally, the ability of FS-108 to overcome gefitinib resistance in vivo was validated in an NCI-H1975 xenograft model. CONCLUSION FS-108 is a powerful agent that impacts the survival of gefitinib-resistant cells in vitro and in vivo through targeting Hsp90.

Abstract
CRAF kinase maintains cell viability, growth, and proliferation by participating in the MAPK pathway. Unlike BRAF, CRAF requires continuous chaperoning by Hsp90 to retain MAPK signaling. However, the reason behind the continuous association of Hsp90 with CRAF is still elusive. In this study, we have identified the bipartite role of Hsp90 in chaperoning CRAF kinase. Hsp90 facilitates Ser-621 phosphorylation of CRAF and prevents the kinase from degradation. Co-chaperone Cdc37 assists in this phosphorylation event. However, after folding, the stability of the kinase becomes insensitive to Hsp90 inhibition, although the physical association between Hsp90 and CRAF remains intact. We observed that overexpression of Hsp90 stimulates MAPK signaling by activating CRAF. The interaction between Hsp90 and CRAF is substantially increased under an elevated level of cellular Hsp90 and in the presence of either active Ras (RasV12) or EGF. Surprisingly, enhanced binding of Hsp90 to CRAF occurs prior to the Ras-CRAF association and facilitates actin recruitment to CRAF for efficient Ras-CRAF interaction, which is independent of the ATPase activity of Hsp90. However, monomeric CRAF (CRAFR401H) shows abrogated interaction with both Hsp90 and actin, thereby affecting Hsp90-dependent CRAF activation. This finding suggests that stringent assemblage of Hsp90 keeps CRAF kinase equipped for participating in the MAPK pathway. Thus, the role of Hsp90 in CRAF maturation and activation acts as a limiting factor to maintain the function of a strong client like CRAF kinase.

Abstract
Autophosphorylation of amino-acid residues is part of the folding process of various protein kinases. Conventional chemical screening of mature kinases has missed inhibitors that selectively interfere with the folding process. Here we report a cell-based assay that evaluates inhibition of a kinase at a transitional state during the folding process and identify a folding intermediate-selective inhibitor of dual-specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A), which we refer to as FINDY. FINDY suppresses intramolecular autophosphorylation of Ser97 in DYRK1A in cultured cells, leading to its degradation, but does not inhibit substrate phosphorylation catalysed by the mature kinase. FINDY also suppresses Ser97 autophosphorylation of recombinant DYRK1A, suggesting direct inhibition, and shows high selectivity for DYRK1A over other DYRK family members. In addition, FINDY rescues DYRK1A-induced developmental malformations in Xenopus laevis embryos. Our study demonstrates that transitional folding intermediates of protein kinases can be targeted by small molecules, and paves the way for developing novel types of kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
The 90-kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone responsible for the stability and function of a wide variety of client proteins that are critical for cell growth and survival. Many of these client proteins are frequently mutated and/or overexpressed in cancer cells and are therefore being actively pursued as individual therapeutic targets. Consequently, Hsp90 inhibition offers a promising strategy for simultaneous degradation of several anticancer targets. Currently, most Hsp90 inhibitors under clinical evaluation act by blocking the binding of ATP to the Hsp90 N-terminal domain and thereby, induce the degradation of many Hsp90-dependent oncoproteins. Although, they have shown some promising initial results, clinical challenges such as induction of the heat-shock response, retinopathy, and gastrointestinal tract toxicity are emerging from human trials, which constantly raise concerns about the future development of these inhibitors. Novobiocin derivatives, which do not bind the chaperone's N-terminal ATPase pocket, have emerged over the past decade as an alternative strategy to inhibit Hsp90, but to date, no derivative has been investigated in the clinical setting. In recent years, a number of natural or synthetic compounds have been identified that modulate Hsp90 function via various mechanisms. These compounds not only offer new chemotypes for the development of future Hsp90 inhibitors but can also serve as chemical probes to unravel the biology of Hsp90. This chapter presents a synopsis of inhibitors that directly, allosterically, or even indirectly alters Hsp90 function, and highlights their proposed mechanisms of action.
