Huo Y, Karnawat R, Liu L, Knieß RA, Groß M, Chen X, Mayer MP. Modification of Regulatory Tyrosine Residues Biases Human Hsp90α in its Interactions with Cochaperones and Clients. J Mol Biol 2024; 436:168772. [PMID: 39222679 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmb.2024.168772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 08/22/2024] [Accepted: 08/28/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
The highly conserved Hsp90 chaperones control stability and activity of many essential signaling and regulatory proteins including many protein kinases, E3 ligases and transcription factors. Thereby, Hsp90s couple cellular homeostasis of the proteome to cell fate decisions. High-throughput mass spectrometry revealed 178 and 169 posttranslational modifications (PTMs) for human cytosolic Hsp90α and Hsp90β, but for only a few of the modifications the physiological consequences are investigated in some detail. In this study, we explored the suitability of the yeast model system for the identification of key regulatory residues in human Hsp90α. Replacement of three tyrosine residues known to be phosphorylated by phosphomimetic glutamate and by non-phosphorylatable phenylalanine individually and in combination influenced yeast growth and the maturation of 7 different Hsp90 clients in distinct ways. Furthermore, wild-type and mutant Hsp90 differed in their ability to stabilize known clients when expressed in HepG2 HSP90AA1-/- cells. The purified mutant proteins differed in their interaction with the cochaperones Aha1, Cdc37, Hop and p23 and in their support of the maturation of glucocorticoid receptor ligand binding domain in vitro. In vivo and in vitro data correspond well to each other confirming that the yeast system is suitable for the identification of key regulatory sites in human Hsp90s. Our findings indicate that even closely related clients are affected differently by the amino acid replacements in the investigated positions, suggesting that PTMs could bias Hsp90s client specificity.

Pseudophosphorylation of single residues of the J-domain of DNAJA2 regulates the holding/folding balance of the Hsc70 system. Protein Sci 2024; 33:e5105. [PMID: 39012012 PMCID: PMC11249846 DOI: 10.1002/pro.5105] [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: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
The Hsp70 system is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis and comprises a central Hsp70 and two accessory proteins that belong to the J-domain protein (JDP) and nucleotide exchange factor families. Posttranslational modifications offer a means to tune the activity of the system. We explore how phosphorylation of specific residues of the J-domain of DNAJA2, a class A JDP, regulates Hsc70 activity using biochemical and structural approaches. Among these residues, we find that pseudophosphorylation of Y10 and S51 enhances the holding/folding balance of the Hsp70 system, reducing cochaperone collaboration with Hsc70 while maintaining the holding capacity. Truly phosphorylated J domains corroborate phosphomimetic variant effects. Notably, distinct mechanisms underlie functional impacts of these DNAJA2 variants. Pseudophosphorylation of Y10 induces partial disordering of the J domain, whereas the S51E substitution weakens essential DNAJA2-Hsc70 interactions without a large structural reorganization of the protein. S51 phosphorylation might be class-specific, as all cytosolic class A human JDPs harbor a phosphorylatable residue at this position.

Abstract
Oncogenic mutations can destabilize signaling proteins, resulting in increased or unregulated activity. Thus, there is considerable interest in mapping the relationship between mutations and the stability of signaling proteins, to better understand the consequences of oncogenic mutations and potentially inform the development of new therapeutics. Here, we develop a tool to study protein-kinase stability in live mammalian cells and the effects of the HSP90 chaperone system on the stability of these kinases. We determine the expression levels of protein kinases by monitoring the fluorescence of fluorescent proteins fused to those kinases, normalized to that of co-expressed reference fluorescent proteins. We used this tool to study the dependence of Src- and Raf-family kinases on the HSP90 system. We demonstrate that this sensor reports on destabilization induced by oncogenic mutations in these kinases. We also show that Src-homology 2 and Src-homology 3 domains, which are required for autoinhibition of Src-family kinases, stabilize these kinase domains in the cell. Our expression-calibrated sensor enables the facile characterization of the effects of mutations and small-molecule drugs on protein-kinase stability.

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.

Abstract
The selective hydrolysis of the extremely stable phosphoester, peptide and ester bonds of molecules by bio-inspired metal-based catalysts (metallohydrolases) is required in a wide range of biological, biotechnological and industrial applications. Despite the impressive advances made in the field, the ultimate goal of designing efficient enzyme mimics for these reactions is still elusive. Its realization will require a deeper understanding of the diverse chemical factors that influence the activities of both natural and synthetic catalysts. They include catalyst-substrate complexation, non-covalent interactions and the electronic nature of the metal ion, ligand environment and nucleophile. Based on our computational studies, their roles are discussed for several mono- and binuclear metallohydrolases and their synthetic analogues. Hydrolysis by natural metallohydrolases is found to be promoted by a ligand environment with low basicity, a metal bound water and a heterobinuclear metal center (in binuclear enzymes). Additionally, peptide and phosphoester hydrolysis is dominated by two competing effects, i.e. nucleophilicity and Lewis acid activation, respectively. In synthetic analogues, hydrolysis is facilitated by the inclusion of a second metal center, hydrophobic effects, a biological metal (Zn, Cu and Co) and a terminal hydroxyl nucleophile. Due to the absence of the protein environment, hydrolysis by these small molecules is exclusively influenced by nucleophile activation. The results gleaned from these studies will enhance the understanding of fundamental principles of multiple hydrolytic reactions. They will also advance the development of computational methods as a predictive tool to design more efficient catalysts for hydrolysis, Diels-Alder reaction, Michael addition, epoxide opening and aldol condensation.

Abstract
Phosphorylation is a post-translational modification that can alter protein structure and regulate protein-protein interactions. Here, we present a procedure for in vitro phosphorylation of the MUS81-binding region of SLX4 (SLX4MBR) using cyclin-dependent kinase 1-cyclin B. We describe steps for the dialysis and phosphorylation of target proteins followed by purification using size-exclusion chromatography. Finally, we detail a system to monitor phosphorylation effectiveness and identify phosphorylated residues. We anticipate this protocol to be readily adapted for other protein targets or kinases. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Payliss et al. (2022).1.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) regulate myriad cellular processes by modulating protein function and protein-protein interaction. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone whose activity is responsible for the stabilization and maturation of more than 300 client proteins. Hsp90 is a substrate for numerous PTMs, which have diverse effects on Hsp90 function. Interestingly, many Hsp90 clients are enzymes that catalyze PTM, demonstrating one of the several modes of regulation of Hsp90 activity. Approximately 25 co-chaperone regulatory proteins of Hsp90 impact structural rearrangements, ATP hydrolysis, and client interaction, representing a second layer of influence on Hsp90 activity. A growing body of literature has also established that PTM of these co-chaperones fine-tune their activity toward Hsp90; however, many of the identified PTMs remain uncharacterized. Given the critical role of Hsp90 in supporting signaling in cancer, clinical evaluation of Hsp90 inhibitors is an area of great interest. Interestingly, differential PTM and co-chaperone interaction have been shown to impact Hsp90 binding to its inhibitors. Therefore, understanding these layers of Hsp90 regulation will provide a more complete understanding of the chaperone code, facilitating the development of new biomarkers and combination therapies.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by a coronavirus identified in December 2019 has caused a global pandemic. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020 and has led to more than 6.3 million deaths. The pandemic has disrupted world travel, economies, and lifestyles worldwide. Although vaccination has been an effective tool to reduce the severity and spread of the disease there is a need for more concerted approaches to fighting the disease. COVID-19 is characterised as a severe acute respiratory syndrome . The severity of the disease is associated with a battery of comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic lung disease, and renal disease. These underlying diseases are associated with general cellular stress. Thus, COVID-19 exacerbates outcomes of the underlying conditions. Consequently, coronavirus infection and the various underlying conditions converge to present a combined strain on the cellular response. While the host response to the stress is primarily intended to be of benefit, the outcomes are occasionally unpredictable because the cellular stress response is a function of complex factors. This review discusses the role of the host stress response as a convergent point for COVID-19 and several non-communicable diseases. We further discuss the merits of targeting the host stress response to manage the clinical outcomes of COVID-19.

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
The treatment of advanced and metastatic kidney cancer has entered a golden era with the addition of more therapeutic options, improved survival and new targeted therapies. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors and immune checkpoint blockade have all been shown to be promising strategies in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, little is known about the best therapeutic approach for individual patients with RCC and how to combat therapeutic resistance. Cancers, including RCC, rely on sustained replicative potential. The cyclin-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6 are involved in cell-cycle regulation with additional roles in metabolism, immunogenicity and antitumour immune response. Inhibitors of CDK4 and CDK6 are now commonly used as approved and investigative treatments in breast cancer, as well as several other tumours. Furthermore, CDK4/6 inhibitors have been shown to work synergistically with other kinase inhibitors, including mTOR inhibitors, as well as with immune checkpoint inhibitors in preclinical cancer models. The effect of CDK4/6 inhibitors in kidney cancer is relatively understudied compared with other cancers, but the preclinical studies available are promising. Collectively, growing evidence suggests that targeting CDK4 and CDK6 in kidney cancer, alone and in combination with current therapeutics including mTOR and immune checkpoint inhibitors, might have therapeutic benefit and should be further explored.

Abstract
In this study, chemical promiscuity of a binuclear metallohydrolase Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase (SgAP) has been investigated using DFT calculations. SgAP catalyzes two diverse reactions, peptide and phosphoester hydrolyses, using its binuclear (Zn-Zn) core. On the basis of the experimental information, mechanisms of these reactions have been investigated utilizing leucine p-nitro aniline (Leu-pNA) and bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) as the substrates. The computed barriers of 16.5 and 16.8 kcal/mol for the most plausible mechanisms proposed by the DFT calculations are in good agreement with the measured values of 13.9 and 18.3 kcal/mol for the Leu-pNA and BNPP hydrolyses, respectively. The former was found to occur through the transfer of two protons, while the latter with only one proton transfer. They are in line with the experimental observations. The cleavage of the peptide bond was the rate-determining process for the Leu-pNA hydrolysis. However, the creation of the nucleophile and its attack on the electrophile phosphorus atom was the rate-determining step for the BNPP hydrolysis. These calculations showed that the chemical nature of the substrate and its binding mode influence the nucleophilicity of the metal bound hydroxyl nucleophile. Additionally, the nucleophilicity was found to be critical for the Leu-pNA hydrolysis, whereas double Lewis acid activation was needed for the BNPP hydrolysis. That could be one of the reasons why peptide hydrolysis can be catalyzed by both mononuclear and binuclear metal cofactors containing hydrolases, while phosphoester hydrolysis is almost exclusively by binuclear metallohydrolases. These results will be helpful in the development of versatile catalysts for chemically distinct hydrolytic reactions.

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
Posttranslational modifications alter the biophysical properties of proteins and thereby influence cellular physiology. One emerging manner by which such modifications regulate protein functions is through their ability to perturb protein stability. Despite the increasing interest in this phenomenon, there are few methods that enable global interrogation of the biophysical effects of posttranslational modifications on the proteome. Here, we describe an unbiased proteome-wide approach to explore the influence of protein modifications on the thermodynamic stability of thousands of proteins in parallel. We apply this profiling strategy to study the effects of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), an abundant modification found on hundreds of proteins in mammals that has been shown in select cases to stabilize proteins. Using this thermal proteomic profiling strategy, we identify a set of 72 proteins displaying O-GlcNAc-dependent thermostability and validate this approach using orthogonal methods targeting specific proteins. These collective observations reveal that the majority of proteins influenced by O-GlcNAc are, surprisingly, destabilized by O-GlcNAc and cluster into distinct macromolecular complexes. These results establish O-GlcNAc as a bidirectional regulator of protein stability and provide a blueprint for exploring the impact of any protein modification on the meltome of, in principle, any organism.

Abstract
DYRK1A phosphorylates proteins involved in neurological disorders in an intermolecular manner. Meanwhile, during the protein folding process of DYRK1A, a transitional folding intermediate catalyzes the intramolecular autophosphorylation required for the "one-off" inceptive activation and stabilization. In our previous study, a small molecule termed FINDY (1) was identified, which inhibits the folding intermediate-catalyzed intramolecular autophosphorylation of DYRK1A but not the folded state-catalyzed intermolecular phosphorylation. However, the structural features of FINDY (1) responsible for this intermediate-selective inhibition remain elusive. In this study, structural derivatives of FINDY (1) were designed and synthesized according to its predicted binding mode in the ATP pocket of DYRK1A. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of the derivatives revealed that the selectivity against the folding intermediate is determined by steric hindrance between the bulky hydrophobic moiety of the derivatives and the entrance to the pocket. In addition, a potent derivative 3 was identified, which inhibited the folding intermediate more strongly than FINDY (1); it was designated as dp-FINDY. Although dp-FINDY (3) did not inhibit the folded state, as well as FINDY (1), it inhibited the intramolecular autophosphorylation of DYRK1A in an in vitro cell-free protein synthesis assay. Furthermore, dp-FINDY (3) destabilized endogenous DYRK1A in HEK293 cells. This study provides structural insights into the folding intermediate-selective inhibition of DYRK1A and expands the chemical options for the design of a kinase inhibitor.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a group of structurally diverse and highly conserved ubiquitous proteins. They play crucial roles in facilitating the correct folding of proteins in vivo by preventing protein aggregation or facilitating the appropriate folding and assembly of proteins. Heat shock proteins form the major class of molecular chaperones that are responsible for protein folding events in the cell. This is achieved by ATP-dependent (folding machines) or ATP-independent mechanisms (holders). Heat shock proteins are induced by a variety of stresses, besides heat shock. The large and varied heat shock protein class is categorised into several subfamilies based on their sizes in kDa namely, small Hsps (HSPB), J domain proteins (Hsp40/DNAJ), Hsp60 (HSPD/E; Chaperonins), Hsp70 (HSPA), Hsp90 (HSPC), and Hsp100. Heat shock proteins are localised to different compartments in the cell to carry out tasks specific to their environment. Most heat shock proteins form large oligomeric structures, and their functions are usually regulated by a variety of cochaperones and cofactors. Heat shock proteins do not function in isolation but are rather part of the chaperone network in the cell. The general structural and functional features of the major heat shock protein families are discussed, including their roles in human disease. Their function is particularly important in disease due to increased stress in the cell. Vector-borne parasites affecting human health encounter stress during transmission between invertebrate vectors and mammalian hosts. Members of the main classes of heat shock proteins are all represented in Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of cerebral malaria, and they play specific functions in differentiation, cytoprotection, signal transduction, and virulence.

Abstract
Hop/Stip1/Sti1 is thought to be essential as a co-chaperone to facilitate substrate transfer between the Hsp70 and Hsp90 molecular chaperones. Despite this proposed key function for protein folding and maturation, it is not essential in a number of eukaryotes and bacteria lack an ortholog. We set out to identify and to characterize its eukaryote-specific function. Human cell lines and the budding yeast with deletions of the Hop/Sti1 gene display reduced proteasome activity due to inefficient capping of the core particle with regulatory particles. Unexpectedly, knock-out cells are more proficient at preventing protein aggregation and at promoting protein refolding. Without the restraint by Hop, a more efficient folding activity of the prokaryote-like Hsp70-Hsp90 complex, which can also be demonstrated in vitro, compensates for the proteasomal defect and ensures the proteostatic equilibrium. Thus, cells may act on the level and/or activity of Hop to shift the proteostatic balance between folding and degradation. Hop, also known as Stip1 or Sti1, facilitates substrate transfer between the Hsp70 and Hsp90 molecular chaperones. Characterization of proteostasis-related pathways in STIP1 knock-out cell lines reveals that in eukaryotes Stip1 modulates the balance between protein folding and degradation.

Abstract
Many viruses utilize molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) for protein folding and stabilization, however, the role of Hsp90 in herpesvirus lifecycle is obscure. Here, we provide evidence that Hsp90 participates in pseudorabies virus (PRV) replication. Viral growth kinetics assays show that Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) abrogates PRV replication at the post-penetration step. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrates that dysfunction of Hsp90 diminishes the quantity of PRV nucleocapsids. Overexpression and knockdown of Hsp90 suggest that de novo Hsp90 is involved in PRV replication. Mechanismly, dysfunction of Hsp90 inhibits PRV major capsid protein VP5 expression. Co-immunoprecipitation and indirect immunofluorescence assays indicate that Hsp90 interacts with VP5. Interestingly, Hsp70, a collaborator of Hsp90, also interacts with VP5, but doesn't affect PRV growth. Finally, inhibition of Hsp90 results in PRV VP5 degradation in a proteasome-dependent manner. Collectively, our data suggest that Hsp90 contributes to PRV virion assembly and replication via stabilization of VP5.

Abstract
Many forms of cardiac disease, including heart failure, present with inadequate protein quality control (PQC). Pathological conditions often involve impaired removal of terminally misfolded proteins. This results in the formation of large protein aggregates, which further reduce cellular viability and cardiac function. Cardiomyocytes have an intricately collaborative PQC system to minimize cellular proteotoxicity. Increased expression of chaperones or enhanced clearance of misfolded proteins either by the proteasome or lysosome has been demonstrated to attenuate disease pathogenesis, whereas reduced PQC exacerbates pathogenesis. Recent studies have revealed that phosphorylation of key proteins has a potent regulatory role, both promoting and hindering the PQC machinery. This review highlights the recent advances in phosphorylations regulating PQC, the impact in cardiac pathology, and the therapeutic opportunities presented by harnessing these modifications.

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
Cancer is often associated with alterations in the chaperome, a collection of chaperones, cochaperones, and other cofactors. Changes in the expression levels of components of the chaperome, in the interaction strength among chaperome components, alterations in chaperome constituency, and in the cellular location of chaperome members, are all hallmarks of cancer. Here we aim to provide an overview on how chemical biology has played a role in deciphering such complexity in the biology of the chaperome in cancer and in other diseases. The focus here is narrow and on pathologic changes in the chaperome executed by enhancing the interaction strength between components of distinct chaperome pathways, specifically between those of HSP90 and HSP70 pathways. We will review chemical tools and chemical probe-based assays, with a focus on HSP90. We will discuss how kinetic binding, not classical equilibrium binding, is most appropriate in the development of drugs and probes for the chaperome in disease. We will then present our view on how chaperome inhibitors may become potential drugs and diagnostics in cancer.

Abstract
Cell division cycle 37 (Cdc37) is known to work as a kinase-specific cochaperone, which selectively regulates the maturation of kinases through protein-protein interaction (PPI) with Hsp90. Directly disrupting the Hsp90-Cdc37 PPI is emerging as an alternative strategy to develop anticancer agents through a specific inhibition manner of kinase clients of Hsp90. Based on a first specific small-molecule inhibitor targeting Hsp90-Cdc37 PPI (DDO-5936), which was previously reported by our group, we conducted a preliminary investigation of the structure-activity relationships and pharmacodynamic evaluations to improve the potency and drug-like properties. Here, our efforts resulted in the currently best inhibitor 18h with improved binding affinity (Kd = 0.5 μM) and cellular inhibitory activity (IC50 = 1.73 μM). Both in vitro and in vivo assays revealed that 18h could efficiently block the Hsp90-Cdc37 interaction to specifically inhibit kinase clients of Hsp90. Furthermore, 18h showed ideal physiochemical properties with favorable stability, leading to an oral efficacy in vivo.

Abstract
Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's are devastating neurodegenerative diseases that are prevalent in the aging population. Patient care costs continue to rise each year, because there is currently no cure or disease modifying treatments for these diseases. Numerous efforts have been made to understand the molecular interactions governing the disease development. These efforts have revealed that the phosphorylation of proteins by kinases may play a critical role in the aggregation of disease-associated proteins, which is thought to contribute to neurodegeneration. Interestingly, a molecular chaperone complex consisting of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) and Cell Division Cycle 37 (Cdc37) has been shown to regulate the maturation of many of these kinases as well as regulate some disease-associated proteins directly. Thus, the Hsp90/Cdc37 complex may represent a potential drug target for regulating proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases, through both direct and indirect interactions. Herein, we discuss the broad understanding of many Hsp90/Cdc37 pathways and how this protein complex may be a useful target to regulate the progression of neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Phosphorylation is a ubiquitous posttranslational modification that is essential for the regulation of many cellular processes. The human genome consists of more than 200,000 phosphorylation sites, whose phosphorylation is tightly controlled by ≥500 kinases and ~200 phosphatases. Given the large number of phosphorylation sites and the key role phosphorylation plays in regulating cellular processes, it is essential to characterize the impact of phosphorylation on substrate structure, dynamics, and function. However, a major challenge is the large-scale production of phosphorylated proteins in vitro for these structural, functional, and dynamic studies. Here, we describe an efficient protocol used routinely in our laboratory for the production of phosphorylated proteins. We also describe the methods used for identifying, characterizing, and separating the resulting phosphorylated proteins for subsequent studies.

Hsp90 middle domain phosphorylation initiates a complex conformational program to recruit the ATPase-stimulating cochaperone Aha1. Nat Commun 2019; 10:2574.

Abstract
Complex conformational dynamics are essential for function of the dimeric molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), including transient, ATP-biased N-domain dimerization that is necessary to attain ATPase competence. The intrinsic, but weak, ATP hydrolyzing activity of human Hsp90 is markedly enhanced by the co-chaperone Aha1. However, the cellular concentration of Aha1 is substoichiometric relative to Hsp90. Here we report that initial recruitment of this cochaperone to Hsp90 is markedly enhanced by phosphorylation of a highly conserved tyrosine (Y313 in Hsp90α) in the Hsp90 middle domain. Importantly, phosphomimetic mutation of Y313 promotes formation of a transient complex in which both N- and C-domains of Aha1 bind to distinct surfaces of the middle domains of opposing Hsp90 protomers prior to ATP-directed N-domain dimerization. Thus, Y313 represents a phosphorylation-sensitive conformational switch, engaged early after client loading, that affects both local and long-range conformational dynamics to facilitate initial recruitment of Aha1 to Hsp90.

Abstract
In-cell nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy offers the possibility to study proteins and other biomolecules at atomic resolution directly in cells. As such, it provides compelling means to complement existing tools in cellular structural biology. Given the dominance of electron microscopy (EM)-based methods in current structure determination routines, I share my personal view about the role of biomolecular NMR spectroscopy in the aftermath of the revolution in resolution. Specifically, I focus on spin-off applications that in-cell NMR has helped to develop and how they may provide broader and more generally applicable routes for future NMR investigations. I discuss the use of ‘static’ and time-resolved solution NMR spectroscopy to detect post-translational protein modifications (PTMs) and to investigate structural consequences that occur in their response. I argue that available examples vindicate the need for collective and systematic efforts to determine post-translationally modified protein structures in the future. Furthermore, I explain my reasoning behind a Quinary Structure Assessment (QSA) initiative to interrogate cellular effects on protein dynamics and transient interactions present in physiological environments.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 stabilizes and activates client proteins. Co-chaperones and post-translational modifications tightly regulate Hsp90 function and consequently lead to activation of clients. However, it is unclear whether this process occurs abruptly or gradually in the cellular context. We show that casein kinase-2 phosphorylation of the co-chaperone folliculin-interacting protein 1 (FNIP1) on priming serine-938 and subsequent relay phosphorylation on serine-939, 941, 946, and 948 promotes its gradual interaction with Hsp90. This leads to incremental inhibition of Hsp90 ATPase activity and gradual activation of both kinase and non-kinase clients. We further demonstrate that serine/threonine protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) dephosphorylates FNIP1, allowing the addition of O-GlcNAc (O-linked N-acetylglucosamine) to the priming serine-938. This process antagonizes phosphorylation of FNIP1, preventing its interaction with Hsp90, and consequently promotes FNIP1 lysine-1119 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. These findings provide a mechanism for gradual activation of the client proteins through intricate crosstalk of post-translational modifications of the co-chaperone FNIP1.

Abstract
The molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 bind and fold a significant proportion of the proteome. They are responsible for the activity and stability of many disease-related proteins including those in cancer. Substantial effort has been devoted to developing a range of chaperone inhibitors for clinical use. Recent studies have identified the oncogenic ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) complex as an interactor of chaperones. While several generations of RNR inhibitor have been developed for use in cancer patients, many of these produce severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting and hair loss. Development of more potent, less patient-toxic anti-RNR strategies would be highly desirable. Inhibition of chaperones and associated co-chaperone molecules in both cancer and model organisms such as budding yeast result in the destabilization of RNR subunits and a corresponding sensitization to RNR inhibitors. Going forward, this may form part of a novel strategy to target cancer cells that are resistant to standard RNR inhibitors.

Abstract
In this Opinion article, we aim to address how cells adapt to stress and the repercussions chronic stress has on cellular function. We consider acute and chronic stress-induced changes at the cellular level, with a focus on a regulator of cellular stress, the chaperome, which is a protein assembly that encompasses molecular chaperones, co-chaperones and other co-factors. We discuss how the chaperome takes on distinct functions under conditions of stress that are executed in ways that differ from the one-on-one cyclic, dynamic functions exhibited by distinct molecular chaperones. We argue that through the formation of multimeric stable chaperome complexes, a state of chaperome hyperconnectivity, or networking, is gained. The role of these chaperome networks is to act as multimolecular scaffolds, a particularly important function in cancer, where they increase the efficacy and functional diversity of several cellular processes. We predict that these concepts will change how we develop and implement drugs targeting the chaperome to treat cancer.

Unique to targeting the C-terminal domain of Hsp90 (C-Hsp90) is the ability to uncouple the cytotoxic and cytoprotective outcomes of Hsp90 modulation. After the identification of novobiocin as a C-Hsp90 interacting ligand a diverse gamut of novologues emerged, from which KU-32 and KU-596 exhibited strong neuroprotective activity. However, further development of these ligands is hampered by the difficulty to obtain structural information on their complexes with Hsp90. Using saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy, we found that the primary binding epitopes of KU-32 and KU596 map at the ring systems of the ligands and specifically the coumarin and biphenyl structures, respectively. Based on both relative and absolute STD effects, we identified KU-596 sites that can be explored to design novel third-generation novologues. In addition, chemical shift perturbations obtained by methyl-TROSY reveal that novologues bind at the cryptic, C-Hsp90 ATP-binding pocket and produce global, long-range structural rearrangements to dimeric Hsp90.
