Abstract
The heat shock response is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that protects cells or organisms from the harmful effects of various stressors such as heat, chemicals toxins, UV radiation, and oxidizing agents. The heat shock response triggers the expression of a specific set of genes and proteins known as heat shock genes/proteins or molecular chaperones, including HSP100, HSP90, HSP70, HSP60, and small HSPs. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) play a crucial role in thermotolerance and aiding in protecting cells from harmful insults of stressors. HSPs are involved in essential cellular functions such as protein folding, eliminating misfolded proteins, apoptosis, and modulating cell signaling. The stress response to various environmental insults has been extensively studied in organisms from prokaryotes to higher organisms. The responses of organisms to various environmental stressors rely on the intensity and threshold of the stress stimuli, which vary among organisms and cellular contexts. Studies on heat shock proteins have primarily focused on HSP70, HSP90, HSP60, small HSPs, and ubiquitin, along with their applications in human biology. The current review highlighted a comprehensive mechanism of heat shock response and explores the function of heat shock proteins in stress management, as well as their potential as therapeutic agents and diagnostic markers for various diseases.

Abstract
Hsp90 and Hsp70 are highly conserved molecular chaperones that promote the proper folding and activation of substrate proteins that are often referred to as clients. The two chaperones functionally collaborate to fold specific clients in an ATP-dependent manner. In eukaryotic cytosol, initial client folding is done by Hsp70 and its co-chaperones, followed by a direct transfer of client refolding intermediates to Hsp90 for final client processing. However, the mechanistic details of collaboration of organelle specific Hsp70 and Hsp90 are lacking. This work investigates the collaboration of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Hsp70 and Hsp90, BiP and Grp94 respectively, in protein remodeling using in vitro refolding assays. We show that under milder denaturation conditions, BiP collaborates with its co-chaperones to refold misfolded proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. Grp94 does not play a major role in this refolding reaction. However, under stronger denaturation conditions that favor aggregation, Grp94 works in an ATP-independent manner to bind and hold misfolded clients in a folding competent state for subsequent remodeling by the BiP system. We also show that the collaboration of Grp94 and BiP is not simply a reversal of the eukaryotic refolding mechanism since a direct interaction of Grp94 and BiP is not required for client transfer. Instead, ATP binding but not hydrolysis by Grp94 facilitates the release of the bound client, which is then picked up by the BiP system for subsequent refolding in a Grp94-independent manner.

Abstract
The 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) is an abundant molecular chaperone that is essential to activate, stabilize and regulate the function of a plethora of client proteins. As drug targets for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, Hsp90 inhibitors that bind to the N-terminal ATP-binding site of Hsp90 have shown disappointing efficacy in clinical trials. Thus, allosteric regulation of the function of Hsp90 by compounds that interact with its middle and C-terminal (MC) domains is now being pursued as a mechanism to inhibit the ATPase activity and client protein-binding activity of Hsp90 without concomitant induction of the heat-shock response. Here, the crystal structure of the Hsp90αMC protein covalently linked to a coumarin derivative, MDCC {7-diethylamino-3-[N-(2-maleimidoethyl)carbamoyl]coumarin}, which is located in a hydrophobic pocket that is formed at the Hsp90αMC hexamer interface, is reported. MDCC binding leads to the hexamerization of Hsp90, and the stabilization and conformational changes of three loops that are critical for its function. A fluorescence competition assay demonstrated that other characterized coumarin and isoflavone-containing Hsp90 inhibitors compete with MDCC binding, suggesting that they could bind at a common site or that they might allosterically alter the structure of the MDCC binding site. This study provides insights into the mechanism by which the coumarin class of allosteric inhibitors potentially disrupt the function of Hsp90 by regulating its oligomerization and the burial of interaction sites involved in the ATP-dependent folding of Hsp90 clients. The hydrophobic binding pocket characterized here will provide new structural information for future drug design.

Abstract
Peristenus spretus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is one of the most important endoparasitoids used for biological control of the green mirid bug, Apolygus lucorum Meyer-Dür (Heteroptera: Miridae). However, what we know about its reproductive genetics is very limited. Here, the composition of ovarian proteins in P. spretus was analyzed. Mass spectrum data searched against the non-redundant NCBI protein and UniProt protein database identified 1382 proteins and revealed an enrichment of the heat shock protein 83 (HSP83) in P. spretus ovary. The Pshsp83 complete cDNA is 2175 bp in length and encodes a protein of 724 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 83.4 kDa and a theoretical isoelectric point of 4.87. Transcription of Pshsp83 appeared from days 1 to 13 post-emergence and peaked at 13th day. Immuno-localization showed that the HSP83 protein was present in cytoplasm of germarium and in egg chambers of the whole ovariole. The transcript abundance of Pshsp83 fluctuated drastically after heat shocks at different temperatures and the maximum emerged at 35°C. The exposure to 35°C caused no dramatic effects on reproductive parameters of adult females such as pupation rate, cocoon weight, emergence rate, sex ratio and developmental duration, but did on longevity. These results suggested that the HSP83 protein is involved in life-span regulation in the P. spretus.

Abstract
The present manuscript describes a novel bioassay consisting of apyrase and heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) without additional co-chaperone supplementation; intended for high-throughput screening of anti-cancer drugs and prognosis of stress. In this regard, Hsp90 and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) mediated firefly luciferase (FLuc) kinetics was investigated using apyrase and FLuc as client proteins. Bioluminescent assay containing Hsp90, ATP, and apyrase led to complete loss of luminescence at 50 °C which indicates the protective role of Hsp90 against thermal denaturation. Similarly, the assay sample comprising Hsp90, ATP, and FLuc showed 2 fold increments in luminescence than their counterparts. Introduction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) to the pre-incubated assay mixture led to an initial rise in the luminescence (28%) in comparison to the sample containing Hsp90, ATP and FLuc. Therefore, FLuc based HTS assays are not suitable for clinical samples which may contain stabilizing agents. However, thermally denatured FLuc and apyrase could not regain their active conformation even when Hsp90 and ATP were introduced in the assay system. This observation justifies the role of Hsp90 to be protective rather than a reparation agent when acts without co-chaperones.

Abstract
Genetic differences mediate individual differences in susceptibility and responses to stress and ethanol, although, the specific molecular pathways that control these responses are not fully understood. Heat shock protein alpha 8 (Hspa8) is a molecular chaperone and member of the heat shock protein family that plays an integral role in the stress response and that has been implicated as an ethanol-responsive gene. Therefore, we assessed its role in mediating responses to stress and ethanol across varying genetic backgrounds. The hippocampus is an important mediator of these responses, and thus, was examined in the BXD family of mice in this study. We conducted bioinformatic analyses to dissect genetic factors modulating Hspa8 expression, identify downstream targets of Hspa8, and examined its role. Hspa8 is trans-regulated by a gene or genes on chromosome 14 and is part of a molecular network that regulates stress- and ethanol-related behaviors. To determine additional components of this network, we identified direct or indirect targets of Hspa8 and show that these genes, as predicted, participate in processes such as protein folding and organic substance metabolic processes. Two phenotypes that map to the Hspa8 locus are anxiety-related and numerous other anxiety- and/or ethanol-related behaviors significantly correlate with Hspa8 expression. To more directly assay this relationship, we examined differences in gene expression following exposure to stress or alcohol and showed treatment-related differential expression of Hspa8 and a subset of the members of its network. Our findings suggest that Hspa8 plays a vital role in genetic differences in responses to stress and ethanol and their interactions.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a member of a family of molecular chaperone proteins which can be upregulated by various stressors including heat stress leading to increases in HSP90 protein expression. Its primary functions include (1) renaturing and denaturing of damaged proteins caused by heat stress and (2) interacting with client proteins to induce cell signaling for gene expression. The latter function is of interest because, in cancer cells, HSP90 has been reported to interact with the transcription hypoxic-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α). In a normoxic environment, HIF1α is degraded and therefore has limited physiological function. In contrast, in a hypoxic environment, stabilized HIF1α acts to promote erythropoiesis and angiogenesis. Since HSP90 interacts with HIF1α, and HSP90 can be upregulated from heat acclimation in humans, we present a proposal that heat acclimation can mimic molecular adaptations to those of altitude exposure. Specifically, we propose that heat acclimation increases HSP90 which then stabilizes HIF1α in a normoxic environment. This has many implications since HIF1α regulates red blood cell and vasculature formation. In this paper we will discuss (1) the functional roles of HSP90 and HIF1α, (2) the interaction between HSP90 and other client proteins including HIF1α, and (3) results from in vitro studies that may suggest how the relationship between HSP90 and HIF1α might be applied to individuals preparing to make altitude sojourns.

Abstract
The 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90) and other cochaperones allow for proper folding of nascent or misfolded polypeptides. Cancer cells exploit these chaperones by maintaining the stability of mutated and misfolded oncoproteins and allowing them to evade proteosomal degradation. Inhibiting Hsp90 is an attractive strategy for cancer therapy, as the concomitant degradation of multiple oncoproteins may lead to effective anti-neoplastic agents. Unfortunately, early clinical trials have been disappointing with N-terminal Hsp90 inhibitors, as it is unclear whether the problems that plague current Hsp90 inhibitors in clinical trials are related to on-target or off-target activity. One approach to overcome these pitfalls is to identify structurally diverse scaffolds that improve Hsp90 inhibitory activity in the cancer cell milieu. Utilizing a panel of cancer cell lines that express luciferase, we have designed an in-cell Hsp90-dependent luciferase refolding assay. The assay was optimized using previously identified Hsp90 inhibitors and experimental novobiocin analogues against prostate, colon, and lung cancer cell lines. This assay exhibits good interplate precision (% CV), a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of ≥7, and an approximate Z-factor ranging from 0.5 to 0.7. Novobiocin analogues that revealed activity in this assay were examined via western blot experiments for client protein degradation, a hallmark of Hsp90 inhibition. Subsequently, a pilot screen was conducted using the Prestwick library, and two compounds, biperiden and ethoxyquin, revealed significant activity. Here, we report the development of an in-cell Hsp90-dependent luciferase refolding assay that is amenable across cancer cell lines for the screening of inhibitors in their specific milieu.

Abstract
The seven members of the 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) family encode highly conserved molecular chaperones essential for cell survival in Arabidopsis thaliana. Hsp90 are abundant proteins, localized in different compartments with AtHsp90.1-4 in the cytosol and AtHsp90.5-7 in different organelles. Among the AtHsp90, AtHsp90.1, is stress-inducible and shares comparatively low sequence identity with the constitutively expressed AtHsp90.2-4. Even though abundant information is available on mammalian cytosolic Hsp90 proteins, it is unknown whether cytosolic Hsp90 proteins display different structural and functional properties. We have now analyzed two A. thalianas cytosolic Hsp90s, AtHsp90.1 and AtHsp90.3, for functional divergence. AtHsp90.3 showed higher holdase chaperone activity than AtHsp90.1, although both AtHsp90s exhibited effective chaperone activity. Size-exclusion chromatography revealed different oligomeric states distinguishing the two Hsp90 proteins. While AtHsp90.1 exists in several oligomeric states, including monomers, dimers and higher oligomers, AtHsp90.3 exists predominantly in a high oligomeric state. High oligomeric state of AtHsp90.1 showed higher holdase chaperone activity than the respective monomer or dimer states. When high oligomeric forms of AtHsp90.1 and AtHsp90.3 are reduced by DTT, activity was reduced compared to that found in the native high oligomeric state. In addition, ATP-dependent foldase chaperone activity of AtHsp90.3 was higher with strong intrinsic ATPase activity than that of AtHsp90.1. As a conclusion, the two A. thaliana cytosolic Hsp90 proteins display different functional activities depending on structural differences, implying functional divergence although the proteins are localized to the same sub-cellular organelle.

Abstract
Dendritic cells efficiently internalize exogenous protein antigens by fluid-phase uptake and receptor-mediated endocytosis. Such antigens contribute to cross-presentation by being translocated into the cytosol for proteasomal degradation, which liberates immunogenic peptides that can bind to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules after being transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). MHC class I–peptide complexes are then expressed on the cell surface and presented to CD8+ T cells. Here we show that internalized proteins can have an alternative fate. After internalization, proteins are first unfolded to allow translocation into the cytosol using a pathway related to ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Subsequently the unfolded proteins can undergo cytosolic refolding assisted by the chaperone Hsp90. These observations not only clarify the cellular processes regulating cytosolic access following endocytosis, but also demonstrate that functional proteins can potentially regain their activity in the cytosol of dendritic cells.

Abstract
The Hsp90 protein encoded by the Hsp83 gene is required for the development of many traits in Drosophila. Hsp83 is also thought to play a role in the expression of phenotypic and genetic variability for subsequent selection and evolutionary change. Here we examine the impact of different E(sev) and Su(Raf) Hsp83 mutants on means and phenotypic variances of invariant and variable bristle traits. One of the mutants influenced the normally invariant thoracic bristle number, while none affected invariant scutellar bristle number. E(sev) alleles consistently influenced variable bristle traits while there were fewer effects of the Su(Raf) alleles. For the variable traits, none of the Hsp83 alleles had any effect on phenotypic variance, environmental variance, or developmental stability of the bristle traits. When alleles were combined in trans-heterozygotes, there were both cumulative and complementary effects on thoracic and variable bristle trait numbers, depending on the allelic combination. Overall, the results suggest that Hsp83 mutants do not have detectable effects on the phenotypic or environmental variance of bristle traits and that complementation of E(sev) and Su(Raf) Hsp83 mutants can extend to thoracic bristles as well as previously reported effects on viability. Some allelic combinations lead to more severe effects on variable bristle trait means than do single Hsp83 mutations.

Abstract
Heat shock protein Hsp70 is implicated in the mechanism of cell reaction to a variety of cytotoxic factors. The protective function of Hsp70 is related to its ability to promote folding of nascent polypeptides and to remove denatured proteins. Many types of cancer cells contain high amounts of Hsp70, whose protective capacity may pose a problem for therapy in oncology. Hsp70 was shown to be expressed on the surface of cancer cells and to participate in the presentation of tumor antigens to immune cells. Therefore, the chaperone activity of Hsp70 is an important factor that should be taken into consideration in cancer therapy. The protective role of Hsp70 is also evident in neuropathology. Many neurodegenerative processes are associated with the accumulation of insoluble aggregates of misfolded proteins in neural cells. These aggregates hamper intracellular transport, inhibit metabolism, and activate apoptosis through diverse pathways. The increase of Hsp70 content results in the reduction of aggregate size and number and ultimately enhances cell viability.

Abstract
Hsp90 is an essential chaperone protein in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. It cooperates with the chaperone Hsp70 in defined complexes mediated by the adaptor protein Hop (Sti1 in yeast). These Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone complexes play a major role in the folding and maturation of key regulatory proteins in eukaryotes. Understanding how non-native client proteins are transferred from one chaperone to the other in these complexes is of central importance. Here, we analyzed the molecular mechanism of this reaction using luciferase as a substrate protein. Our experiments define a pathway for luciferase folding in the Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone system. They demonstrate that Hsp70 is a potent capture device for unfolded protein while Hsp90 is not very efficient in this reaction. When Hsp90 is absent, in contrast to the in vivo situation, Hsp70 together with the two effector proteins Ydj1 and Sti1 exhibits chaperone activity towards luciferase. In the presence of the complete chaperone system, Hsp90 exhibits a specific positive effect only in the presence of Ydj1. If this factor is absent, the transferred luciferase is trapped on Hsp90 in an inactive conformation. Interestingly, identical results were observed for the yeast and the human chaperone systems although the regulatory function of human Hop is completely different from that of yeast Sti1.

Abstract
The effects of heat stress and liposome treatment on the growth of Streptomyces griseus cells and chitosanase production were investigated on the basis of using the designed strategy of a stress-mediated bioprocess. The effective conditions for increasing the interaction between chitosanase and the 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-3-phosphocholine (POPC) liposome under heat stress condition were determined on the basis of the results of circular dichroism (CD) and dielectric dispersion analysis (DDA). Under these effective conditions, S. griseus cells were cultivated for the effective production of chitosanase. The results obtained from both CD spectra and DDA showed that heat stress enhances the interaction of the POPC liposomes and chitosanase. The strongest interaction between them could be obtained in the specific temperature range of 40-45 degrees C. The enhancement of the target chitosanase production was conducted under heat stress at 41 degrees C in the presence and absence of the POPC liposomes. The growth rates of S. griseus cells in the cases of heat (41 degrees C) and heat (41 degrees C)/POPC treatments were respectively 1.2 and 1.4 times higher than that obtained under the control condition. In the heat (41 degrees C) and heat (41 degrees C)/POPC treatments, chitosanase activity increased to 1.8 and 2 times, respectively, higher than that obtained under the control condition. Heat stress and the addition of the POPC liposomes could therefore be utilized to induce the potential functions of bacterial cells for the enhancement of the final target production.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation during oxidative stress leads to increased concentrations of thiol-reactive alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde, including 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) and 4-oxo-2-nonenal (4-ONE). These aldehydes have a documented ability to disrupt protein function following adduct formation with specific residues. Therefore, to identify 4-HNE-modified proteins in a model of ethanol-induced oxidative stress, a proteomic approach was applied to liver fractions prepared from rats fed a combination high-fat/ethanol diet. The results revealed that essential 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) was consistently modified by 4-HNE in the alcohol-treated animals. In vitro chaperoning experiments using firefly luciferase as a client protein were then performed to assess the functional effect of 4-HNE modification on purified recombinant human Hsp90, modified with concentrations of this aldehyde ranging from 23 to 450 microM. Modification of Hsp90 with 4-ONE also led to significant inhibition of the chaperone. Because 4-HNE and 4-ONE react selectively with Cys, a thiol-specific mechanism of inhibition was suggested by these data. Therefore, thiol sensitivity was confirmed following treatment of Hsp90 with the specific thiol modifier N-ethylmaleimide, which resulted in more than 99% inactivation of the chaperone by concentrations as low as 6 microM (1:1 M ratio). Finally, tryptic digest of 4-HNE-modified Hsp90 followed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry peptide analysis identified Cys 572 as a site for 4-HNE modification. The results presented here thus establish that 4-HNE consistently modifies Hsp90 in a rat model of alcohol-induced oxidative stress and that the chaperoning activity of this protein is subject to dysregulation through thiol modification.

Abstract
With assistance from co-chaperone partner proteins, Hsp90 plays an essential positive role in supporting the structure and function of numerous client proteins in vivo. Hsp90's co-chaperone partnerships are believed to regulate and/or target its function. Here we describe associations between Hsp90 chaperone machinery and another chaperone, the 97-kDa valosin-containing protein VCP. Coimmunoadsorption assays indicate that VCP occurs in one or more native heterocomplexes containing Hsp90 and the Hsp90 partner proteins Cdc37, FKBP52, and p23. Functional characterizations indicate that VCP is not an Hsp90 substrate, but rather demonstrate the biochemical hallmarks of an Hsp90 co-chaperone. Potential roles for a collaboration between for Hsp90 and VCP are discussed.

Abstract
We previously reported that, in human heat shock protein (Hsp) 90 (hHsp90), there are 4 highly immunogenic sites, designated sites Ia, Ib, Ic, and II. This study was performed to further characterize their epitopes and to identify the epitope that is potentially common to all members of the Hsp90 family. Panning of a bacterial library carrying randomized dodecapeptides revealed that Glu251-Ser-X-Asp254 constituted site Ia and Pro295-Ile-Trp-Thr-Arg299, site Ic. Site II (Asp701-Pro717) was composed of several epitopes. When 19 anti-hHsp90 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were subjected to immunoblotting against recombinant forms of 7 Hsp90-family members, 2 mAbs (K41110 and K41116C) that recognized site Ic bound to yeast Hsp90 with affinity identical to that for hHsp90, and 1 mAb (K3729) that recognized Glu222-Ala23, of hHsp90beta could bind to human 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein (Grp94), an endoplasmic reticulum paralog of Hsp90. Among the 5 amino acids constituting site Ic, Trp297 and Pro295 were essential for recognition by all anti-site-Ic mAbs, and Arg299 was important for most of them. The necessity of Ile296, Thr298, and Arg299, which are replaced by Leu, Met/Leu, and Lys, respectively, in some eukaryotic Hsp90, was dependent on the mAbs, and K41110 and K41116C could react with Hsp90s carrying these substitutions. From these data taken together, we propose that the pentapeptide Pro295-Ile-Trp-Thr-Arg299 of hHsp90 functions as an immunodominant epitope common to all eukaryotic Hsp90.

Abstract
The activity and structural integrity of the tumor suppressor protein p53 is of crucial importance for the prevention of cancer. p53 is a conformational flexible and labile protein, in which structured and unstructured regions function in a synergistic manner. The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is known to bind to mutant and wild type p53 in vivo. Using highly purified proteins we analyzed the interaction and the binding sites between both proteins in detail. Our results demonstrate that Hsp90 binds to a folded, native-like conformation of p53 in vitro with micromolar affinity. Specifically, the DNA-binding domain of p53 and the middle and carboxy-terminal domains of Hsp90 are responsible for this interaction, which is essential to stabilize p53 at physiological temperatures and to prevent it from irreversible thermal inactivation. Our results are in agreement with a model in which Hsp90 is required to maintain the folded, active state of p53 by a reversible interaction, thus introducing an additional level of regulation.

Abstract
Aberrant secreted proteins can be destroyed by ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), and a prominent, medically relevant ERAD substrate is the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). To better define the chaperone requirements during CFTR maturation, the protein was expressed in yeast. Because Hsp70 function impacts CFTR biogenesis in yeast and mammals, we first sought ER-associated Hsp40 cochaperones involved in CFTR maturation. Ydj1p and Hlj1p enhanced Hsp70 ATP hydrolysis but CFTR degradation was slowed only in yeast mutated for both YDJ1 and HLJ1, suggesting functional redundancy. In contrast, CFTR degradation was accelerated in an Hsp90 mutant strain, suggesting that Hsp90 preserves CFTR in a folded state, and consistent with this hypothesis, Hsp90 maintained the solubility of an aggregation-prone domain (NBD1) in CFTR. Soluble ERAD substrate degradation was unaffected in the Hsp90 or the Ydj1p/Hlj1p mutants, and surprisingly CFTR degradation was unaffected in yeast mutated for Hsp90 cochaperones. These results indicate that Hsp90, but not the Hsp90 complex, maintains CFTR structural integrity, whereas Ydj1p/Hlj1p catalyze CFTR degradation.

Abstract
We here investigated the mechanism of self-oligomerization of the 90-kDa heat shock protein (HSP90) molecular chaperone, because it is known that this oligomerization reflects the client-binding activity. The transition temperatures for the self-oligomerization of the full-length forms of human HSP90alpha and HtpG (bacterial HSP90), i.e., 45 and 60 degrees C, respectively, were identical to those for the dissociation of the recombinant N domain (residues 1-400 of human HSP90alpha and residues 1-336 of HtpG in our definition) from the remainder of the molecule. The N domain of human HSP90alpha expressed in Escherichia coli was oligomeric, and the oligomerization activity was localized within residues 311-350, i.e., C-terminally adjacent to the highly immunogenic site (residues 291-304). Particularly, residues 341-350 were critical on oligomerization. On the other hand, residues 289-389 were indispensable for the interaction with the M domain (residues 401-618) of the molecule. Oligomer formation of the N domain was efficiently suppressed by its extension until Lys546, i.e., residues 401-546, which is required for the interaction with the N domain. Among highly conserved amino acids at residues 289-400, Trp297, Pro379, and Phe384 were essential for the interaction with the M domain. With these observations taken together, we propose as the activation mechanism of HSP90 molecular chaperone that heat stress induces the liberation of the oligomerization/client-binding site of residues 311-350 by disrupting the intramolecular interaction between residues 289-389 and 401-546.

Abstract
The general approach to analysis of the kinetics of protein aggregation registered by the turbidimetric method has been elaborated. The terminal part of the kinetic curves is analyzed using a theoretical equation connecting the derivative of the apparent absorbance (A) with respect to time (dA/dt) and A (t is time). This analysis allows the limiting value of A at t--> infinity (A(lim)) and the order of aggregation with respect to protein (n) to be calculated. Approach proposed was applied to analysis of thermal and acidification-induced aggregation of firefly luciferase. In both cases the A(lim) value is a linear function of the protein concentration. The terminal part of the kinetic curves of thermal aggregation follows the first-order kinetics (n=1), whereas the kinetics of acidification-induced aggregation are characterized by the value of n higher than unity (n=1.29). The mechanism of nucleation-dependent aggregation has been discussed.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are a functionally defined set of proteins which assist the structure formation of proteins in vivo. Without certain protective mechanisms, such as binding nascent polypeptide chains by molecular chaperones, cellular protein concentrations would lead to misfolding and aggregation. In the mammalian system, the molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 are involved in the folding and maturation of key regulatory proteins, like steroid hormone receptors, transcription factors, and kinases, some of which are involved in cancer progression. Hsp70 and Hsp90 form a multichaperone complex, in which both are connected by a third protein called Hop. The connection of and the interplay between the two chaperone machineries is of crucial importance for cell viability. This review provides a detailed view of the Hsp70 and Hsp90 machineries, their cofactors and their mode of regulation. It summarizes the current knowledge in the field, including the ATP-dependent regulation of the Hsp70/Hsp90 multichaperone cycle and elucidates the complex interplay and their synergistic interaction.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that binds and assists refolding of non-native and/or labile polypeptides and also bind various peptides. However, the rules of how Hsp90 recognizes substrates have not been well characterized. By surface plasmon resonance measurements, a physiologically active peptide, neuropeptide Y (NPY), with a strong binding property to Hsp90 was identified from screening of 38 randomly selected peptide candidates. We showed that the carboxy-terminal fragment of NPY (NPY13-36), which forms an amphipathic alpha-helix structure, preserved the strong binding to Hsp90. Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting using HeLa cell extracts revealed that newly synthesized NPY precursors bound to Hsp90, suggesting that the in vitro binding experiments identified an interactive peptide in vivo. Proteolytic cleavage of the NPY13-36/Hsp90 complex, as well as binding site analysis using deletion mutants of Hsp90, revealed the NPY binding locus on Hsp90alpha as the 192 amino acid region following the N-terminal domain. By electron microscopic analysis using an anti-Hsp90 antibody against the sequence proximal to the highly charged region, we showed that the Hsp90 dimer bound to NPY13-36 at both ends. Mutation of arginine residues in NPY13-36 to alanine abrogated binding to Hsp90. Our studies indicate that the hinge region after the N-terminal domain of Hsp90 and the positive charges on NPY are important for this interaction.

Abstract
It is notable that both the chaperone and ubiquitin-proteasome systems are required for removal of aberrant cellular proteins to ensure protein homeostasis in cells. However, the entity that links the two systems had remained elusive. Carboxyl-terminus of Hsc70 interacting protein (CHIP), originally identified as a co-chaperone of Hsc70, has both a tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motif and a U-box domain. The TPR motif associates with Hsc70 and Hsp90, while the U-box domain executes a ubiquitin ligase activity. Thus, CHIP is an ideal molecule acting as a protein quality-control ubiquitin ligase that selectively leads abnormal proteins recognized by molecular chaperones to degradation by the proteasome. Accumulating evidence from in vitro studies indicates that this is apparently the case. Here, we present and discuss several unresolved but critical issues related to the molecular mechanism and in vivo roles of CHIP.

Abstract
The alpha isoform of human 90-kDa heat shock protein (HSP90alpha) is composed of three domains: the N-terminal (residues 1-400); middle (residues 401-615) and C-terminal (residues 621-732). The middle domain is simultaneously associated with the N- and C-terminal domains, and the interaction with the latter mediates the dimeric configuration of HSP90. Besides one in the N-terminal domain, an additional client-binding site exists in the C-terminal domain of HSP90. The aim of the present study is to elucidate the regions within the C-terminal domain responsible for the bindings to the middle domain and to a client protein, and to define the relationship between the two functions. A bacterial two-hybrid system revealed that residues 650-697 of HSP90alpha were essential for the binding to the middle domain. An almost identical region (residues 657-720) was required for the suppression of heat-induced aggregation of citrate synthase, a model client protein. Replacement of either Leu665-Leu666 or Leu671-Leu672 to Ser-Ser within the hydrophobic segment (residues 662-678) of the C-terminal domain caused the loss of bindings to both the middle domain and the client protein. The interaction between the middle and C-terminal domains was also found in human 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein. Moreover, Escherichia coli HtpG, a bacterial HSP90 homologue, formed heterodimeric complexes with HSP90alpha and the 94-kDa glucose-regulated protein through their middle-C-terminal domains. Taken together, it is concluded that the identical region including the hydrophobic segment of the C-terminal domain is essential for both the client binding and dimer formation of the HSP90-family molecular chaperone and that the dimeric configuration appears to be similar in the HSP90-family proteins.

Abstract
Refolding of the acid-unfolded precursor to mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (pmAAT) is inhibited when cytosolic Hsc70 is included in the refolding reaction (Artigues, A., Iriarte, A., and Martinez-Carrion, M. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 16852-16861). At low molar excess of Hsc70 pmAAT is recovered in insoluble aggregates containing equal amounts of Hsc70. However, in the presence of a large excess of Hsc70, refolding of pmAAT is still arrested, but the enzyme remains in solution. Similar behavior was observed with two other cytosolic chaperones, bovine Hsp90 and yeast Ydj1. Coimmunoprecipitation of pmAAT using Hsc70 antibodies confirmed the formation of soluble Hsc70-pmAAT complexes at high concentrations of the chaperone. Data from analytical centrifugation, sedimentation in glycerol gradients, and partial purification of the soluble complexes indicate that multiple Hsc70 molecules bind per pmAAT polypeptide chain. The absence of catalytic activity together with the protease susceptibility of pmAAT bound to Hsc70, Hsp90, or Ydj1 suggest that these chaperones bind and maintain pmAAT in a partially unfolded state, analogous to the import-competent conformation of the protein synthesized in cell-free extracts. Remarkably, the purified pmAAT bound to Hsc70 or Ydj1, but not to Hsp90, is imported by isolated mitochondria in a reticulocyte lysate-dependent manner. Thus, both Hsc70 and Ydj1 can trap an import-competent folding intermediate of pmAAT, but productive binding and import into mitochondria require the collaboration of additional cytosolic factors from the lysate.

Abstract
Ribosomal subunits are assembled in the nucleus, and mature 40 S and 60 S subunits are exported stoichiometrically into the cytoplasm. The nuclear export of ribosomal subunits is a unidirectional, saturable and energy-dependent process. An in vitro assay for the nuclear export of 60 S ribosomal subunits involves the use of resealed nuclear envelopes. The export of ribosomal subunits from resealed nuclear envelopes is enhanced by cytoplasmic proteins. Here we present evidence that the export-promoting activity was due to the cytoplasmic 90 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp90). Isolated, purified Hsp90 vastly enhanced the export of 60 S ribosomal subunits from resealed nuclear envelopes, while inhibition of Hsp90 function, either with the Hsp90-binding drug geldanamycin or with anti-Hsp90 antibodies, resulted in reduced release of 60 S ribosomal subunits. To confirm these findings under in vivo conditions, corresponding experiments were performed with Xenopus oocytes using microinjection techniques; the results obtained confirmed the findings obtained with resealed nuclear envelopes. These findings suggest that Hsp90 facilitates the nuclear export of 60 S ribosomal subunits, probably by chaperoning protein interactions during the export process.

Abstract
The ubiquitin-proteasome system catalyses the immediate destruction of misfolded or impaired proteins generated in cells, but how this proteolytic machinery recognizes abnormality of cellular proteins for selective elimination remains elusive. Here, we report that the C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) with a U-box domain is an E3 ubiquitin-ligase collaborating with molecular chaperones Hsp90 and Hsc70. Thermally denatured firefly luciferase was multiubiquitylated by CHIP in the presence of E1 and E2 (Ubc4 or UbcH5c) in vitro, only when the unfolded substrate was captured by Hsp90 or Hsc70 and Hsp40. No ubiquitylating activity was detected in CHIP lacking the U-box region. CHIP efficiently ubiquitylated denatured luciferase trapped by the C-terminal region of Hsp90, which contains a CHIP binding site. CHIP also showed self-ubiquitylating activity independent of target ubiquitylation. Our results indicate that CHIP can be regarded as 'a quality-control E3' that selectively ubiquitylates unfolded protein(s) by collaborating with molecular chaperones.
