Hussein SK, Bhat R, Overduin M, LaPointe P. Recruitment of Ahsa1 to Hsp90 is regulated by a conserved peptide that inhibits ATPase stimulation. EMBO Rep 2024; 25:3532-3546.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that acts on its clients through an ATP-dependent and conformationally dynamic functional cycle. The cochaperone Accelerator of Hsp90 ATPase, or Ahsa1, is the most potent stimulator of Hsp90 ATPase activity. Ahsa1 stimulates the rate of Hsp90 ATPase activity through a conserved motif, NxNNWHW. Metazoan Ahsa1, but not yeast, possesses an additional 20 amino acid peptide preceding the NxNNWHW motif that we have called the intrinsic chaperone domain (ICD). The ICD of Ahsa1 diminishes Hsp90 ATPase stimulation by interfering with the function of the NxNNWHW motif. Furthermore, the NxNNWHW modulates Hsp90's apparent affinity to Ahsa1 and ATP. Lastly, the ICD controls the regulated recruitment of Hsp90 in cells and its deletion results in the loss of interaction with Hsp90 and the glucocorticoid receptor. This work provides clues to how Ahsa1 conserved regions modulate Hsp90 kinetics and how they may be coupled to client folding status.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a group of neurological diseases which requires significant economic costs for the treatment and care of patients. The central point of epileptogenesis stems from the failure of synaptic signal transmission mechanisms, leading to excessive synchronous excitation of neurons and characteristic epileptic electroencephalogram activity, in typical cases being manifested as seizures and loss of consciousness. The causes of epilepsy are extremely diverse, which is one of the reasons for the complexity of selecting a treatment regimen for each individual case and the high frequency of pharmacoresistant cases. Therefore, the search for new drugs and methods of epilepsy treatment requires an advanced study of the molecular mechanisms of epileptogenesis. In this regard, the investigation of molecular chaperones as potential mediators of epileptogenesis seems promising because the chaperones are involved in the processing and regulation of the activity of many key proteins directly responsible for the generation of abnormal neuronal excitation in epilepsy. In this review, we try to systematize current data on the role of molecular chaperones in epileptogenesis and discuss the prospects for the use of chemical modulators of various chaperone groups' activity as promising antiepileptic drugs.

Abstract
Serine/threonine protein phosphatase-5 (PP5) is involved in tumor progression and survival, making it an attractive therapeutic target. Specific inhibition of protein phosphatases has remained challenging because of their conserved catalytic sites. PP5 contains its regulatory domains within a single polypeptide chain, making it a more desirable target. Here we used an in silico approach to screen and develop a selective inhibitor of PP5. Compound P053 is a competitive inhibitor of PP5 that binds to its catalytic domain and causes apoptosis in renal cancer. We further demonstrated that PP5 interacts with FADD, RIPK1, and caspase 8, components of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway complex II. Specifically, PP5 dephosphorylates and inactivates the death effector protein FADD, preserving complex II integrity and regulating extrinsic apoptosis. Our data suggests that PP5 promotes renal cancer survival by suppressing the extrinsic apoptotic pathway. Pharmacologic inhibition of PP5 activates this pathway, presenting a viable therapeutic strategy for renal cancer.

Abstract
c-Kit is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that has an essential role in various biological functions including gametogenesis, melanogenesis, hematopoiesis, cell survival, and apoptosis. c-KIT aberrations, either overexpression or loss-of-function mutations, have been implicated in the pathogenesis and development of many cancers, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mastocytosis, acute myeloid leukemia, breast, thyroid, and colorectal cancer, making c-KIT an attractive molecular target for the treatment of cancers. Therefore, a lot of effort has been put into investigating the utility of tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the management of c-KIT mutated tumors. This review of the literature illustrates the role of c-KIT mutations in many cancers, aiming to provide insights into the role of TKIs as a therapeutic option for cancer patients with c-KIT aberrations. In conclusion, c-KIT is implicated in different types of cancer, and it could be a successful molecular target; however, proper detection of the underlying mutation type is required before starting the appropriate personalized therapy.

Abstract
Yeast is a valuable model organism for their ease of genetic manipulation, rapid growth rate, and relative similarity to higher eukaryotes. Historically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae has played a major role in discovering the function of complex proteins and pathways that are important for human health and disease. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone responsible for the stabilization and activation of hundreds of integral members of the cellular signaling network. Much important structural and functional work, including many seminal discoveries in Hsp90 biology are the direct result of work carried out in S. cerevisiae. Here, we have provided a brief overview of the S. cerevisiae model system and described how this eukaryotic model organism has been successfully applied to the study of Hsp90 chaperone function.

Abstract
Cellular homeostasis relies on both the chaperoning of proteins and the intracellular degradation system that delivers cytoplasmic constituents to the lysosome, a process known as autophagy. The crosstalk between these processes and their underlying regulatory mechanisms is poorly understood. Here, we show that the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) forms a complex with the autophagy-initiating kinase Atg1 (yeast)/Ulk1 (mammalian), which suppresses its kinase activity. Conversely, environmental cues lead to Atg1/Ulk1-mediated phosphorylation of a conserved serine in the amino domain of Hsp90, inhibiting its ATPase activity and altering the chaperone dynamics. These events impact a conformotypic peptide adjacent to the activation and catalytic loop of Atg1/Ulk1. Finally, Atg1/Ulk1-mediated phosphorylation of Hsp90 leads to dissociation of the Hsp90:Atg1/Ulk1 complex and activation of Atg1/Ulk1, which is essential for initiation of autophagy. Our work indicates a reciprocal regulatory mechanism between the chaperone Hsp90 and the autophagy kinase Atg1/Ulk1 and consequent maintenance of cellular proteostasis.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an intractable inherited disease caused by a germline mutation in either the TSC complex subunit 1 (TSC1) or TSC2 tumor suppressor genes. Recent progress in the treatment of TSC with rapamycin has provided benefits to patients with TSC. However, the complete elimination of tumors is difficult to achieve as regrowth often occurs after a drug is suspended; thus, more efficient medication and novel therapeutic targets are required. To overcome tumor remnants in the treatment of TSC, the present study investigated rapamycin-responsive signaling pathways in Tsc2-deficient tumor cells, focusing on heat shock protein-related pathways. The expression levels of heat shock protein family B (small) member 1 (Hspb1; also known as HSP25/27) were increased by rapamycin treatment. The phosphorylation of Hspb1 was also increased. The knockdown of Hspb1 suppressed cell proliferation in the absence of rapamycin, and the overexpression of Hspb1 enhanced cell proliferation both in the presence and absence of rapamycin. Pathways associated with Hspb1 may present target candidates for treatment of TSC.

Our study reveals a substantial perturbation in the arginine biosynthesis pathway in TSC models with overexpression of argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1). The rise in ASS1 expression is dependent on the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity. Arginine depletion prevents mTORC1 hyperactivation and cell cycle progression and averts cystogenic signaling overexpression of c-Myc and P65. Accordingly, an arginine-depleted diet substantially reduces the TSC cystic load in mice, indicating the potential therapeutic effects of arginine deprivation for the treatment of TSC-associated kidney disease.

Yin K, Wu R. Investigation of cellular response to the HSP90 inhibition in human cells through thermal proteome profiling. Mol Cell Proteomics 2023; 22:100560. [PMID: 37119972 DOI: 10.1016/j.mcpro.2023.100560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Heat shock proteins are chaperones and they are responsible for protein folding in cells. HSP90 is one of the most important chaperones in human cells, and its inhibition is promising for cancer therapy. However, despite the development of multiple HSP90 inhibitors, none of them has been approved for disease treatment due to unexpected cellular toxicity and side-effects. Hence, a more comprehensive investigation of cellular response to HSP90 inhibitors can aid in a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the cytotoxicity and side effects of these inhibitors. The thermal stability shifts of proteins, which represent protein structure and interaction alterations, can provide valuable information complementary to the results obtained from commonly used abundance-based proteomics analysis. Here, we systematically investigated cell response to different HSP90 inhibitors through global quantification of protein thermal stability changes using thermal proteome profiling, together with measurement of protein abundance changes. Besides the targets and potential off-targets of the drugs, proteins with significant thermal stability changes under the HSP90 inhibition are found to be involved in cell stress responses and the translation process. Moreover, proteins with thermal stability shifts under the inhibition are upstream of those with altered expression. These findings indicate that the HSP90 inhibition perturbs cell transcription and translation processes. The current study provides a different perspective for achieving a better understanding of cellular response to the chaperone inhibition.

Abstract
A common problem in the study of human malignancy is the elucidation of cancer driver mechanisms associated with recurrent deletion of regions containing multiple genes. Taking B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) and large deletions of 6q [del(6q)] as a model, we integrated analysis of functional cDNA clone tracking assays with patient genomic and transcriptomic data, to identify the transcription factors FOXO3 and PRDM1 as candidate tumour suppressor genes (TSG). Analysis of cell cycle and transcriptomic changes following overexpression of FOXO3 or PRDM1 indicated that they co-operate to promote cell cycle exit at the pre-B cell stage. FOXO1 abnormalities are absent in B-ALL, but like FOXO3, FOXO1 expression suppressed growth of TCF3::PBX1 and ETV6::RUNX1 B-ALL in-vitro. While both FOXOs induced PRDM1 and other genes contributing to late pre-B cell development, FOXO1 alone induced the key transcription factor, IRF4, and chemokine, CXCR4. CRISPR-Cas9 screening identified FOXO3 as a TSG, while FOXO1 emerged as essential for B-ALL growth. We relate this FOXO3-specific leukaemia-protective role to suppression of glycolysis based on integrated analysis of CRISPR-data and gene sets induced or suppressed by FOXO1 and FOXO3. Pan-FOXO agonist Selinexor induced the glycolysis inhibitor TXNIP and suppressed B-ALL growth at low dose (ID50 < 50 nM).

Abstract
For aerobic organisms, both the hypoxia-inducible factor pathway and the mitochondrial genomes are key players in regulating oxygen homeostasis. Recent work has suggested that these mechanisms are not as highly conserved as previously thought, prompting more surveys across animal taxonomic levels, which would permit testing of hypotheses about the ecological conditions facilitating evolutionary loss of such genes. The Phylum Cnidaria is known to harbor wide variation in mitochondrial chromosome morphology, including an extreme example, in the Myxozoa, of mitochondrial genome loss. Because myxozoans are obligate endoparasites, frequently encountering hypoxic environments, we hypothesize that variation in environmental oxygen availability could be a key determinant in the evolution of metabolic gene networks associated with oxygen-sensing, hypoxia-response, and energy production. Here, we surveyed genomes and transcriptomes across 46 cnidarian species for the presence of HIF pathway members, as well as for an assortment of hypoxia, mitochondrial, and stress-response toolkit genes. We find that presence of the HIF pathway, as well as number of genes associated with mitochondria, hypoxia, and stress response, do not vary in parallel to mitochondrial genome morphology. More interestingly, we uncover evidence that myxozoans have lost the canonical HIF pathway repression machinery, potentially altering HIF pathway functionality to work under the specific conditions of their parasitic lifestyles. In addition, relative to other cnidarians, myxozoans show loss of large proportions of genes associated with the mitochondrion and involved in response to hypoxia and general stress. Our results provide additional evidence that the HIF regulatory machinery is evolutionarily labile and that variations in the canonical system have evolved in many animal groups.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a conserved molecular chaperone regulating the folding and activation of a diverse array of several hundreds of client proteins. The function of Hsp90 in client processing is fine-tuned by a cohort of co-chaperones that modulate client activation in a client-specific manner. They affect the Hsp90 ATPase activity and the recruitment of client proteins and can in addition affect chaperoning in an Hsp90-independent way. p23 and Aha1 are central Hsp90 co-chaperones that regulate Hsp90 in opposing ways. While p23 inhibits the Hsp90 ATPase and stabilizes a client-bound Hsp90 state, Aha1 accelerates ATP hydrolysis and competes with client binding to Hsp90. Even though both proteins have been intensively studied for decades, research of the last few years has revealed intriguing new aspects of these co-chaperones that expanded our perception of how they regulate client activation. Here, we review the progress in understanding p23 and Aha1 as promoters of client processing. We highlight the structures of Aha1 and p23, their interaction with Hsp90, and how their association with Hsp90 affects the conformational cycle of Hsp90 in the context of client maturation.

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 molecular chaperone TNF-receptor-associated protein-1 (TRAP1) controls mitochondrial respiration through regulation of Krebs cycle and electron transport chain activity. Post-translational modification (PTM) of TRAP1 regulates its activity, thereby controlling global metabolic flux. O-GlcNAcylation is one PTM that is known to impact mitochondrial metabolism, however the major effectors of this regulatory PTM remain inadequately resolved. Here we demonstrate that TRAP1-O-GlcNAcylation decreases TRAP1 ATPase activity, leading to increased mitochondrial metabolism. O-GlcNAcylation of TRAP1 occurs following mitochondrial import and provides critical regulatory feedback, as the impact of O-GlcNAcylation on mitochondrial metabolism shows TRAP1-dependence. Mechanistically, loss of TRAP1-O-GlcNAcylation decreased TRAP1 binding to ATP, and interaction with its client protein succinate dehydrogenase (SDHB). Taken together, TRAP1-O-GlcNAcylation serves to regulate mitochondrial metabolism by the reversible attenuation of TRAP1 chaperone activity.

Abstract
Hsp90 is a ubiquitous molecular chaperone involved in many cell signaling pathways, and its interactions with specific chaperones and cochaperones determines which client proteins to fold. Hsp90 has been shown to be involved in the promotion and maintenance of proper protein complex assembly either alone or in association with other chaperones such as the R2TP chaperone complex. Hsp90-R2TP acts through several mechanisms, such as by controlling the transcription of protein complex subunits, stabilizing protein subcomplexes before their incorporation into the entire complex, and by recruiting adaptors that facilitate complex assembly. Despite its many roles in protein complex assembly, detailed mechanisms of how Hsp90-R2TP assembles protein complexes have yet to be determined, with most findings restricted to proteomic analyses and in vitro interactions. This review will discuss our current understanding of the function of Hsp90-R2TP in the assembly, stabilization, and activity of the following seven classes of protein complexes: L7Ae snoRNPs, spliceosome snRNPs, RNA polymerases, PIKKs, MRN, TSC, and axonemal dynein arms.

Abstract
Heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) chaperone machinery is involved in the stability and activity of its client proteins. The chaperone function of Hsp90 is regulated by co-chaperones and post-translational modifications. Although structural evidence exists for Hsp90 interaction with clients, our understanding of the impact of Hsp90 chaperone function toward client activity in cells remains elusive. Here, we dissect the impact of recently identified higher eukaryotic co-chaperones, FNIP1/2 (FNIPs) and Tsc1, toward Hsp90 client activity. Our data show that Tsc1 and FNIP2 form mutually exclusive complexes with FNIP1, and that unlike Tsc1, FNIP1/2 interact with the catalytic residue of Hsp90. Functionally, these co-chaperone complexes increase the affinity of the steroid hormone receptors glucocorticoid receptor and estrogen receptor to their ligands in vivo. We provide a model for the responsiveness of the steroid hormone receptor activation upon ligand binding as a consequence of their association with specific Hsp90:co-chaperone subpopulations.

Abstract
Heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) is an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone that is tightly regulated by a group of proteins termed co-chaperones. This chaperone system is essential for the stabilization and activation of many key signaling proteins. Recent identification of the co-chaperones FNIP1, FNIP2, and Tsc1 has broadened the spectrum of Hsp90 regulators. These new co-chaperones mediate the stability of critical tumor suppressors FLCN and Tsc2 as well as the various classes of Hsp90 kinase and non-kinase clients. Many early observations of the roles of FNIP1, FNIP2, and Tsc1 suggested functions independent of FLCN and Tsc2 but have not been fully delineated. Given the broad cellular impact of Hsp90-dependent signaling, it is possible to explain the cellular activities of these new co-chaperones by their influence on Hsp90 function. Here, we review the literature on FNIP1, FNIP2, and Tsc1 as co-chaperones and discuss the potential downstream impact of this regulation on normal cellular function and in human diseases.

Abstract
The spice saffron (Crocus sativus) has anticancer activity in several human tissues, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its potential therapeutic effects are poorly understood. We investigated the impact of safranal, a small molecule secondary metabolite from saffron, on the HCC cell line HepG2 using untargeted metabolomics (HPLC–MS) and transcriptomics (RNAseq). Increases in glutathione disulfide and other biomarkers for oxidative damage contrasted with lower levels of the antioxidants biliverdin IX (139-fold decrease, p = 5.3 × 105), the ubiquinol precursor 3-4-dihydroxy-5-all-trans-decaprenylbenzoate (3-fold decrease, p = 1.9 × 10−5), and resolvin E1 (−3282-fold decrease, p = 45), which indicates sensitization to reactive oxygen species. We observed a significant increase in intracellular hypoxanthine (538-fold increase, p = 7.7 × 10−6) that may be primarily responsible for oxidative damage in HCC after safranal treatment. The accumulation of free fatty acids and other biomarkers, such as S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine, are consistent with safranal-induced mitochondrial de-uncoupling and explains the sharp increase in hypoxanthine we observed. Overall, the dual omics datasets describe routes to widespread protein destabilization and DNA damage from safranal-induced oxidative stress in HCC cells.

Chi SG, Minami Y. Emerging Targeted Therapy for Specific Genomic Abnormalities in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:2362.

Abstract
We describe recent updates of existing molecular-targeting agents and emerging novel gene-specific strategies. FLT3 and IDH inhibitors are being tested in combination with conventional chemotherapy for both medically fit patients and patients who are ineligible for intensive therapy. FLT3 inhibitors combined with non-cytotoxic agents, such as BCL-2 inhibitors, have potential therapeutic applicability. The menin-MLL complex pathway is an emerging therapeutic target. The pathway accounts for the leukemogenesis in AML with MLL-rearrangement, NPM1 mutation, and NUP98 fusion genes. Potent menin-MLL inhibitors have demonstrated promising anti-leukemic effects in preclinical studies. The downstream signaling molecule SYK represents an additional target. However, the TP53 mutation continues to remain a challenge. While the p53 stabilizer APR-246 in combination with azacitidine failed to show superiority compared to azacitidine monotherapy in a phase 3 trial, next-generation p53 stabilizers are now under development. Among a number of non-canonical approaches to TP53-mutated AML, the anti-CD47 antibody magrolimab in combination with azacitidine showed promising results in a phase 1b trial. Further, the efficacy was somewhat better in patients with the TP53 mutation. Although clinical evidence has not been accumulated sufficiently, targeting activating KIT mutations and RAS pathway-related molecules can be a future therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, multiple myeloma (MM) is still an incurable plasma cell malignancy in urgent need of novel therapeutic targets and drugs. METHODS Bufalin was known as a highly toxic but effective anti-cancer compound. We used Bufalin as a probe to screen its potential targets by proteome microarray, in which AHSA1 was the unique target of Bufalin. The effects of AHSA1 on cellular proliferation and drug resistance were determined by MTT, western blot, flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry staining and xenograft model in vivo. The potential mechanisms of Bufalin and KU-177 in AHSA1/HSP90 were verified by co-immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry, site mutation and microscale thermophoresis assay. RESULTS AHSA1 expression was increased in MM samples compared to normal controls, which was significantly associated with MM relapse and poor outcomes. Furthermore, AHSA1 promoted MM cell proliferation and proteasome inhibitor (PI) resistance in vitro and in vivo. Mechanism exploration indicated that AHSA1 acted as a co-chaperone of HSP90A to activate CDK6 and PSMD2, which were key regulators of MM proliferation and PI resistance respectively. Additionally, we identified AHSA1-K137 as the specific binding site of Bufalin on AHSA1, mutation of which decreased the interaction of AHSA1 with HSP90A and suppressed the function of AHSA1 on mediating CDK6 and PSMD2. Intriguingly, we discovered KU-177, an AHSA1 selective inhibitor, and found KU-177 targeting the same site as Bufalin. Bufalin and KU-177 treatments hampered the proliferation of flow MRD-positive cells in both primary MM and recurrent MM patient samples. Moreover, KU-177 abrogated the cellular proliferation and PI resistance induced by elevated AHSA1, and decreased the expression of CDK6 and PSMD2. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that AHSA1 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for cellular proliferation and proteasome inhibitor resistance in multiple myeloma.

Abstract
The Hsp90 molecular chaperone, along with a set of approximately 50 cochaperones, mediates the folding and activation of hundreds of cellular proteins in an ATP-dependent cycle. Cochaperones differ in how they interact with Hsp90 and their ability to modulate ATPase activity of Hsp90. Cochaperones often compete for the same binding site on Hsp90, and changes in levels of cochaperone expression that occur during neurodegeneration, cancer, or aging may result in altered Hsp90-cochaperone complexes and client activity. This review summarizes information about loss-of-function mutations of individual cochaperones and discusses the overall association of cochaperone alterations with a broad range of diseases. Cochaperone mutations result in ciliary or muscle defects, neurological development or degeneration disorders, and other disorders. In many cases, diseases were linked to defects in established cochaperone-client interactions. A better understanding of the functional consequences of defective cochaperones will provide new insights into their functions and may lead to specialized approaches to modulate Hsp90 functions and treat some of these human disorders.

Abstract
Banggai cardinalfish, Pterapogon kauderni, is a tropical fish listed as an endangered species by IUCN. Its distribution and survival condition are extremely limited, and the changes of living environment caused by global warming may seriously threaten its geographical distribution. In order to understand the survival temperature range and the potential mechanism of temperature plasticity of P. kauderni, transcriptome analysis was performed under five temperature conditions (18 °C, 22 °C, 26 °C, 30 °C and 34 °C). A total of 432,444,497 clean reads were obtained from the mix tissues of whole head, viscera (except intestine), and muscle. All clean data were spliced into 194,832 unigenes. Compared with 26 °C, 57, 107, 187 and 174 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained at 18 °C, 22 °C, 30 °C and 34 °C, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed the most highly enriched in the DEGs were cellular processes, binding, metabolic processes and biological regulation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated circadian rhythm, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, influenza A and prion disease were significantly enriched. 47 genes that may be related to temperature stress were identified, such as Per1, MLP, IGFBP1, HSP70, HSP90α, HSPA4, DNAJB1, CALR. This is the first RNA-Seq study of P. kauderni. This information should be valuable for further targeted studies on temperature tolerance, thereby assisting the protection and development of P. kauderni.

Abstract
Prefoldins (PFDNs) are evolutionary conserved co-chaperones, initially discovered in archaea but universally present in eukaryotes. PFDNs are prevalently organized into hetero-hexameric complexes. Although they have been overlooked since their discovery and their functions remain elusive, several reports indicate they act as co-chaperones escorting misfolded or non-native proteins to group II chaperonins. Unlike the eukaryotic PFDNs which interact with cytoskeletal components, the archaeal PFDNs can bind and stabilize a wide range of substrates, possibly due to their great structural diversity. The discovery of the unconventional RPB5 interactor (URI) PFDN-like complex (UPC) suggests that PFDNs have versatile functions and are required for different cellular processes, including an important role in cancer. Here, we summarize their functions across different species. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis of PFDNs genomic alterations across cancer types by using large-scale cancer genomic data indicates that PFDNs are a new class of non-mutated proteins significantly overexpressed in some cancer types.

Abstract
Heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) is an essential molecular chaperone in eukaryotes that plays a vital role in protecting and maintaining the functional integrity of deregulated signaling proteins in tumors. We have previously reported that the stability and activity of the mitotic checkpoint kinase Mps1 depend on Hsp90. In turn, Mps1-mediated phosphorylation Hsp90 regulates its chaperone function and is essential for the mitotic arrest. Cdc14-assisted dephosphorylation of Hsp90 is vital for the mitotic exit. Post-translational regulation of Hsp90 function is also known as the Hsp90 "Chaperone Code." Here, we demonstrate that only the active Mps1 is ubiquitinated on K86, K827, and K848 by the tumor suppressor von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) containing E3 enzyme, in a prolyl hydroxylation-independent manner and degraded in the proteasome. Furthermore, we show that this process regulates cell exit from the mitotic checkpoint. Collectively, our data demonstrates an interplay between the Hsp90 chaperone and VHL degradation machinery in regulating mitosis.

Abstract
The progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been well studied and understood with the development of molecular and genetic techniques. However, specific marker(s) that could be used to predict lymph node (LN) involvement, which is the most important prognostic factor for CRC, have not been identified so far. Our previous study, in which network analysis of LN(+) and LN(-) CRC gene expression was carried out with data obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas, led to the identification of AHA1. AHA1 is a co-chaperone activator of the Hsp90 ATPase activity. However, the role of AHA1 expression in cancer cells is still unclear. To investigate how AHA1 expression regulates the cancer cell progression and/or metastasis of human CRC, the expression levels of AHA1 and Hsp90 were examined in 105 CRC tissue samples and compared with those in paired normal tissue. The RNA expression levels of AHA1 and Hsp90aa1, but not Hsp90ab, were significantly higher in cancer tissues than in adjacent paired normal tissues (p = 0.032 and p = 0.0002, respectively). In particular, AHA1, but not Hsp90aa1 and Hsp90ab, was closely associated with the TNM stage, LN stage, and tumor metastasis (p = 0.035, p = 0.012, and p = 0.0003, respectively). Moreover, the expression of AHA1 was not only higher in the CRC cell lines than in the normal colon fibroblast cell line but was also associated with the progression of these CRC cell lines. Overexpression of AHA1 in SW480 cells increased, whereas suppression of AHA1 expression in HCT116 cells reduced cell migration and invasion through the regulation of Snail, E-cadherin, pSRC, and pAKT, which are associated with EMT signaling. Taken together, our study suggests that AHA1 contributes to the metastatic advantage of human CRC.

Abstract
Tau protein plays a critical role in the assembly, stabilization, and modulation of microtubules, which are important for the normal function of neurons and the brain. In diseased conditions, several pathological modifications of tau protein manifest. These changes lead to tau protein aggregation and the formation of paired helical filaments (PHF) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), which are common hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies. The accumulation of PHFs and NFTs results in impairment of physiological functions, apoptosis, and neuronal loss, which is reflected as cognitive impairment, and in the late stages of the disease, leads to death. The causes of this pathological transformation of tau protein haven't been fully understood yet. In both physiological and pathological conditions, tau interacts with several proteins which maintain their proper function or can participate in their pathological modifications. Interaction partners of tau protein and associated molecular pathways can either initiate and drive the tau pathology or can act neuroprotective, by reducing pathological tau proteins or inflammation. In this review, we focus on the tau as a multifunctional protein and its known interacting partners active in regulations of different processes and the roles of these proteins in Alzheimer's disease and tauopathies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) has been recognized as a suppressor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is critical for the stemness maintenance of breast cancer stem cells. However, the regulatory mechanisms of GSK3β protein expression remain elusive. METHODS Co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectral assays were performed to identify molecules binding to GSK3β, and to characterize the interactions of GSK3β, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), and co-chaperones. The role of PGK1 in Hsp90 chaperoning GSK3β was evaluated by constructing 293T cells stably expressing different domains/mutants of Hsp90α, and by performing a series of binding assays with bacterially purified proteins and clinical specimens. The influences of Hsp90 inhibitors on breast cancer stem cell stemness were investigated by Western blot and mammosphere formation assays. RESULTS We showed that GSK3β was a client protein of Hsp90. Hsp90, which did not directly bind to GSK3β, interacted with phosphoglycerate kinase 1 via its C-terminal domain, thereby facilitating the binding of GSK3β to Hsp90. GSK3β-bound PGK1 interacted with Hsp90 in the "closed" conformation and stabilized GSK3β expression in an Hsp90 activity-dependent manner. The Hsp90 inhibitor, 17-AAG, rather than HDN-1, disrupted the interaction between Hsp90 and PGK1, and reduced GSK3β expression, resulting in significantly reduced inhibition of β-catenin expression, to maintain the stemness of breast cancer stem cells. CONCLUSIONS Our findings identified a novel regulatory mechanism of GSK3β expression involving metabolic enzyme PGK1-coupled Hsp90, and highlighted the potential for more effective cancer treatment by selecting Hsp90 inhibitors that do not affect PGK1-regulated GSK3β expression.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone regulating the activity of diverse client proteins together with a plethora of different co-chaperones. Whether these functionally cooperate has remained enigmatic. We analyze all double mutants of 11 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hsp90 co-chaperones in vivo concerning effects on cell physiology and the activation of specific client proteins. We find that client activation is supported by a genetic network with weak epistasis between most co-chaperones and a few modules with strong genetic interactions. These include an epistatic module regulating protein translation and dedicated epistatic networks for specific clients. For kinases, the bridging of Hsp70 and Hsp90 by Sti1/Hop is essential for activation, whereas for steroid hormone receptors, an epistatic module regulating their dwell time on Hsp90 is crucial, highlighting the specific needs of different clients. Thus, the Hsp90 system is characterized by plastic co-chaperone networks fine-tuning the conformational processing in a client-specific manner.

Abstract
Inactivating mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2 cause Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by multi-system tumor and hamartoma development. Mutation and loss of function of TSC1 and/or TSC2 also occur in a variety of sporadic cancers, and rapamycin and related drugs show highly variable treatment benefit in patients with such cancers. The TSC1 and TSC2 proteins function in a complex that inhibits mTORC1, a key regulator of cell growth, which acts to enhance anabolic biosynthetic pathways. In this study, we identified and validated five cancer cell lines with TSC1 or TSC2 mutations and performed a kinase inhibitor drug screen with 197 compounds. The five cell lines were sensitive to several mTOR inhibitors, and cell cycle kinase and HSP90 kinase inhibitors. The IC50 for Torin1 and INK128, both mTOR kinase inhibitors, was significantly increased in three TSC2 null cell lines in which TSC2 expression was restored. Rapamycin was significantly more effective than either INK128 or ganetespib (an HSP90 inhibitor) in reducing the growth of TSC2 null SNU-398 cells in a xenograft model. Combination ganetespib-rapamycin showed no significant enhancement of growth suppression over rapamycin. Hence, although HSP90 inhibitors show strong inhibition of TSC1/TSC2 null cell line growth in vitro, ganetespib showed little benefit at standard dosage in vivo. In contrast, rapamycin which showed very modest growth inhibition in vitro was the best agent for in vivo treatment, but did not cause tumor regression, only growth delay.

Abstract
Aha1 is the only co-chaperone known to strongly stimulate the ATPase activity of Hsp90. Meanwhile, besides the well-studied co-chaperone function, human Aha1 has also been demonstrated to exhibit chaperoning activity against stress-denatured proteins. To provide structural insights for a better understanding of Aha1's co-chaperone and chaperone-like activities, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques were used to reveal the unique structure and internal dynamics features of full-length human Aha1. We then found that, in solution, both the two domains of Aha1 presented distinctive thermal stabilities and dynamics behaviors defined by their primary sequences and three-dimensional structures. The low thermal stability (melting temperature of Aha128-162: 54.45 °C) and the internal dynamics featured with slow motions on the µs-ms time scale were detected for Aha1's N-terminal domain (Aha1N). The aforementioned experimental results suggest that Aha1N is in an energy-unfavorable state, which would therefore thermostatically favor the interaction of Aha1N with its partner proteins such as Hsp90's middle domain. Differently from Aha1N, Aha1C (Aha1's C-terminal domain) exhibited enhanced thermal stability (melting temperature of Aha1204-335: 72.41 °C) and the internal dynamics featured with intermediate motions on the ps-ns time scale. Aha1C's thermal and structural stabilities make it competent for the stabilization of the exposed hydrophobic groove of dimerized Hsp90's N-terminal domain. Of note, according to the NMR data and the thermal shift results, although the very N-terminal region (M1-W27) and the C-terminal relaxin-like factor (RLF) motif showed no tight contacts with the remaining parts of human Aha1, they were identified to play important roles in the recognition of intrinsically disordered pathological α-synuclein.

Abstract
Hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes (HCS) become more recognizable as the knowledge about them expands, and genetic testing becomes more affordable. In this review, we discussed the known HCS that predispose to central and peripheral nervous system tumors. Different genetic phenomena were highlighted, and the important cellular biological alterations were summarized. Genetic mosaicism and germline mutations are features of HCS, and recently, they were described in normal population and as modifiers for the genetic landscape of sporadic tumors. Description of the tumors arising in these conditions was augmented by representative cases explaining the main pathological findings. Clinical spectrum of the syndromes and diagnostic criteria were tabled to outline their role in defining these disorders. Interestingly, precision medicine has found its way to help these groups of patients by offering targeted preventive measures. Understanding the signaling pathway alteration of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in tuberous sclerosis helped introducing mTOR inhibitors as a prophylactic treatment in these patients. More research to define the germline genetic alterations and resulting cellular signaling perturbations is needed for effective risk-reducing interventions beyond prophylactic surgeries.

Abstract
Since its initial discovery as the gene altered in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), an autosomal dominant disorder, the interest in TSC1 (Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 1) has steadily risen. TSC1, an essential component of the pro-survival PI3K/AKT/MTOR signaling pathway, plays an important role in processes like development, cell growth and proliferation, survival, autophagy and cilia development by co-operating with a variety of regulatory molecules. Recent studies have emphasized the tumor suppressive role of TSC1 in several human cancers including liver, lung, bladder, breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers. TSC1 perceives inputs from various signaling pathways, including TNF-α/IKK-β, TGF-β-Smad2/3, AKT/Foxo/Bim, Wnt/β-catenin/Notch, and MTOR/Mdm2/p53 axis, thereby regulating cancer cell proliferation, metabolism, migration, invasion, and immune regulation. This review provides a first comprehensive evaluation of TSC1 and illuminates its diverse functions apart from its involvement in TSC genetic disorder. Further, we have summarized the physiological functions of TSC1 in various cellular events and conditions whose dysregulation may lead to several pathological manifestations including cancer.

Abstract
The complex architecture of transmembrane proteins requires quality control (QC) of folding, membrane positioning, and trafficking as prerequisites for cellular homeostasis and intercellular communication. However, it has remained unclear whether transmembrane protein-specific QC hubs exist. Here we identify cereblon (CRBN), the target of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), as a co-chaperone that specifically determines chaperone activity of HSP90 toward transmembrane proteins by means of counteracting AHA1. This function is abrogated by IMiDs, which disrupt the interaction of CRBN with HSP90. Among the multiple transmembrane protein clients of CRBN-AHA1-HSP90 revealed by cell surface proteomics, we identify the amino acid transporter LAT1/CD98hc as a determinant of IMiD activity in multiple myeloma (MM) and present an Anticalin-based CD98hc radiopharmaceutical for MM radio-theranostics. These data establish the CRBN-AHA1-HSP90 axis in the biogenesis of transmembrane proteins, link IMiD activity to tumor metabolism, and nominate CD98hc and LAT1 as attractive diagnostic and therapeutic targets in MM. CRBN functions as a transmembrane protein-specific co-chaperone of HSP90 Disruption of CRBN-HSP90 interaction determines the anti-tumor activity of IMiDs The CD98hc/LAT1 complex is a central target of IMiDs in multiple myeloma CD98hc-Anticalin is a theranostic tool in multiple myeloma

Structural elements in the flexible tail of the co-chaperone p23 coordinate client binding and progression of the Hsp90 chaperone cycle. Nat Commun 2021; 12:828.

Abstract
The co-chaperone p23 is a central part of the Hsp90 machinery. It stabilizes the closed conformation of Hsp90, inhibits its ATPase and is important for client maturation. Yet, how this is achieved has remained enigmatic. Here, we show that a tryptophan residue in the proximal region of the tail decelerates the ATPase by allosterically switching the conformation of the catalytic loop in Hsp90. We further show by NMR spectroscopy that the tail interacts with the Hsp90 client binding site via a conserved helix. This helical motif in the p23 tail also binds to the client protein glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the free and Hsp90-bound form. In vivo experiments confirm the physiological importance of ATPase modulation and the role of the evolutionary conserved helical motif for GR activation in the cellular context.

Abstract
The Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) protein complex (TSCC), comprising TSC1, TSC2, and TBC1D7, is widely recognised as a key integration hub for cell growth and intracellular stress signals upstream of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). The TSCC negatively regulates mTORC1 by acting as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) towards the small GTPase Rheb. Both human TSC1 and TSC2 are important tumour suppressors, and mutations in them underlie the disease tuberous sclerosis. We used single-particle cryo-EM to reveal the organisation and architecture of the complete human TSCC. We show that TSCC forms an elongated scorpion-like structure, consisting of a central "body", with a "pincer" and a "tail" at the respective ends. The "body" is composed of a flexible TSC2 HEAT repeat dimer, along the surface of which runs the TSC1 coiled-coil backbone, breaking the symmetry of the dimer. Each end of the body is structurally distinct, representing the N- and C-termini of TSC1; a "pincer" is formed by the highly flexible N-terminal TSC1 core domains and a barbed "tail" makes up the TSC1 coiled-coil-TBC1D7 junction. The TSC2 GAP domain is found abutting the centre of the body on each side of the dimerisation interface, poised to bind a pair of Rheb molecules at a similar separation to the pair in activated mTORC1. Our architectural dissection reveals the mode of association and topology of the complex, casts light on the recruitment of Rheb to the TSCC, and also hints at functional higher order oligomerisation, which has previously been predicted to be important for Rheb-signalling suppression.

Dean ME, Johnson JL. Human Hsp90 cochaperones: perspectives on tissue-specific expression and identification of cochaperones with similar in vivo functions. Cell Stress Chaperones 2021; 26:3-13. [PMID: 33037995 PMCID: PMC7736379 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-020-01167-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The Hsp90 molecular chaperone is required for the function of hundreds of different cellular proteins. Hsp90 and a cohort of interacting proteins called cochaperones interact with clients in an ATP-dependent cycle. Cochaperone functions include targeting clients to Hsp90, regulating Hsp90 ATPase activity, and/or promoting Hsp90 conformational changes as it progresses through the cycle. Over the last 20 years, the list of cochaperones identified in human cells has grown from the initial six identified in complex with steroid hormone receptors and protein kinases to about fifty different cochaperones found in Hsp90-client complexes. These cochaperones may be placed into three groups based on shared Hsp90 interaction domains. Available evidence indicates that cochaperones vary in client specificity, abundance, and tissue distribution. Many of the cochaperones have critical roles in regulation of cancer and neurodegeneration. A more limited set of cochaperones have cellular functions that may be limited to tissues such as muscle and testis. It is likely that a small set of cochaperones are part of the core Hsp90 machinery required for the folding of a wide range of clients. The presence of more selective cochaperones may allow greater control of Hsp90 activities across different tissues or during development.

Abstract
Prodigiosin, a secondary metabolite red pigment produced by Serratia marcescens, has an interesting apoptotic efficacy against cancer cell lines with low or no toxicity on normal cells. HSP90α is known as a crucial and multimodal target in the treatment of TNBC. Our research attempts to assess the therapeutic potential of prodigiosin/PU-H71 combination on MDA-MB-231 cell line. The transcription and protein expression levels of different signalling pathways were assessed. Treatment of TNBC cells with both drugs resulted in a decrease of the number of adherent cells with apoptotic effects. Prodigiosin/PU-H71 combination increased the levels of caspases 3,8 and 9 and decreased the levels of mTOR expression. Additionally, there was a remarkable decrease of HSP90α transcription and expression levels upon treatment with combined therapy. Also, EGFR and VEGF expression levels decreased. This is the first study to show that prodigiosin/PU-H71 combination had potent cytotoxicity on MDA-MB-231 cells; proving to play a paramount role in interfering with key signalling pathways in TNBC. Interestingly, prodigiosin might be a potential anticancer agent to increase the sensitivity of TNBC cells to apoptosis. This study provides a new basis for upcoming studies to overcome drug resistance in TNBC cells.

Abstract
The extracellular molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (eHSP90) stabilizes protease client the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), leading to tumor cell invasion. Although co-chaperones are critical modulators of intracellular HSP90:client function, how the eHSP90:MMP2 complex is regulated remains speculative. Here, we report that the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP2) is a stress-inducible extracellular co-chaperone that binds to eHSP90, increases eHSP90 binding to ATP, and inhibits its ATPase activity. In addition to disrupting the eHSP90:MMP2 complex and terminally inactivating MMP2, TIMP2 loads the client to eHSP90, keeping the protease in a transient inhibitory state. Secreted activating co-chaperone AHA1 displaces TIMP2 from the complex, providing a "reactivating" mechanism for MMP2. Gene knockout or blocking antibodies targeting TIMP2 and AHA1 released by HT1080 cancer cells modify their gelatinolytic activity. Our data suggest that TIMP2 and AHA1 co-chaperones function as a molecular switch that determines the inhibition and reactivation of the eHSP90 client protein MMP2.

Abstract
Endotoxin tolerance represents a safeguard mechanism for preventing detrimental prolonged inflammation and exaggerated immune/inflammatory responses from innate immune cells to recurrent harmless pathogens. On the other hand, excessive immune tolerance can contribute to pathological immunosuppression, e.g., as present in sepsis. Monocyte activation is accompanied by intracellular metabolic rearrangements that are reportedly orchestrated by the metabolic signaling node mTORC1. mTORC1-dependent metabolic re-wiring plays a major role in monocyte/macrophage polarization, but whether mTORC1 participates in the induction of endotoxin tolerance and other immune adaptive programs, such as immune training, is not clear. This connection has been difficult to test in the past due to the lack of appropriate models of human endotoxin tolerance allowing for the genetic manipulation of mTORC1. We have addressed this shortcoming by investigating monocytes from tuberous sclerosis (TSC) patients that feature a functional loss of the tumor suppressor TSC1/2 and a concomitant hyperactivation of mTORC1. Subjecting these cells to various protocols of immune priming and adaptation showed that the TSC monocytes are not compromised in the induction of tolerance. Analogously, we find that pharmacological mTORC1 inhibition does not prevent endotoxin tolerance induction in human monocytes. Interestingly, neither manipulation affected the capacity of activated monocytes to switch to increased lactic fermentation. In sum, our findings document that mTORC1 is unlikely to be involved in the induction of endotoxin tolerance in human monocytes and argue against a causal link between an mTORC1-dependent metabolic switch and the induction of immune tolerance.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disease, which is characterized by noncancerous tumors in multi-organ systems in the body. Mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes are known to cause the disease. The resultant mutant proteins TSC1 (hamartin) and TSC2 (tuberin) complex evade its normal tumor suppressor function, which leads to abnormal cell growth and proliferation. Both TSC1 and TSC2 are involved in several protein-protein interactions, which play a significant role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. The recent biochemical, genetic, structural biology, clinical and drug discovery advancements on TSC give a useful insight into the disease as well as the molecular aspects of TSC1 and TSC2. The complex nature of TSC disease, a wide range of manifestations, mosaicism and several other factors limits the treatment choices. This review is a compilation of the course of TSC, starting from its discovery to the current findings that would take us a step ahead in finding a cure for TSC.

Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurological syndrome manifested by non-cancerous tumors in several organs. Mutations in either TSC1 or TSC2 tumor suppressor gene cause the disease. In the cell, TSC1 is known to form a heterodimer with TSC2 because of which an active complex is formed that negatively regulates the mTORC1 activity during cellular stress. Hence, mutation in TSC1 or TSC2 is manifested by excess proliferation of the cells leading to the development of numerous benign tumors. The TSC1 and TSC2 complex is known to interact with several protein-binding partners. One such significant interaction of this complex is with the molecular chaperone HSP70. The role of TSC1 in that interaction is still elusive. Here, we have expressed and purified TSC1 (302-420 residues) in a bacterial expression system and have shown that this region directly interacts with HSP70. We have shown that TSC1 increases the ATPase activity of Escherichia coli DnaK, a HSP70 homologue. On the contrary, TSC1 was found to show inhibitory activity toward human HSP70. Our result suggests that TSC1 (302-420 aa) shows differential interaction between the HSP70 homologues. This points toward the evolutionary significance of chaperoning system and the importance of eukaryotic tetratricopeptide repeat domain interaction motif -EEVD. Our study shows the evidence that TSC1 interacts with HSP70 and has a role to play in the chaperoning activity to maintain cellular homeostasis.

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
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), a highly and unique chaperone, presents as a double-edged sword. It plays an essential role in many physiological and pathological processes, including tumor development. The current review highlights a recent understanding of the roles of HSP90 in molecular mechanisms underlying cancer survival and progression. HSP90 and its client proteins through the regulation of oncoproteins including signaling proteins, receptors, and transcriptional factors involved in tumorigenesis. It also has potential clinical application as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for assessing cancer progression. In this way, using HSP90 to develop new anticancer therapeutic agents including HSP90 inhibitors, anti-HSP90 antibody, and HSP90-based vaccines has been promising.

Abstract
Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) and tuberous sclerosis (TS) syndromes share many clinical features. These two diseases display distinct histologic subtypes of renal tumors: chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and renal angiomyolipoma, respectively. Early work suggested a role for mTOR dysregulation in the pathogenesis of these two diseases, however their detailed molecular link remains elusive. Interestingly, a growing number of case reports describe renal angiomyolipoma in BHD patients, suggesting a common molecular origin. The BHD-associated proteins FNIP1/2 and the TS protein Tsc1 were recently identified as regulators of the molecular chaperone Hsp90. Dysregulation of Hsp90 activity has previously been reported to support tumorigenesis, providing a potential explanation for the overlapping phenotypic manifestations in these two hereditary syndromes.

Abstract
AbstractHeat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a dimeric molecular chaperone that plays an essential role in cellular homeostasis. It functions in the context of a structurally dynamic ATP-dependent cycle to promote conformational changes in its clientele to aid stability, maturation, and activation. The client activation cycle is tightly regulated by a cohort of co-chaperone proteins that display specific binding preferences for certain conformations of Hsp90, guiding Hsp90 through its functional ATPase cycle. Aha-type co-chaperones are well-known to robustly stimulate the ATPase activity of Hsp90 but other roles in regulating the functional cycle are being revealed. In this review, we summarize the work done on the Aha-type co-chaperones since the 1990s and highlight recent discoveries with respect to the complexity of Hsp90 cycle regulation.

[PMID: 32139682 PMCID: PMC7057950 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15048-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2018] [Accepted: 02/15/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Methylation of a conserved lysine in C-terminal domain of the molecular chaperone Hsp90 was shown previously to affect its in vivo function. However, the underlying mechanism remained elusive. Through a combined experimental and computational approach, this study shows that this site is very sensitive to sidechain modifications and crucial for Hsp90 activity in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that this particular lysine serves as a switch point for the regulation of Hsp90 functions by influencing its conformational cycle, ATPase activity, co-chaperone regulation, and client activation of yeast and human Hsp90. Incorporation of the methylated lysine via genetic code expansion specifically shows that upon modification, the conformational cycle of Hsp90 is altered. Molecular dynamics simulations including the methylated lysine suggest specific conformational changes that are propagated through Hsp90. Thus, methylation of the C-terminal lysine allows a precise allosteric tuning of Hsp90 activity via long distances. Methylation of a lysine residue in Hsp90 is a recently discovered post-translational modification but the mechanistic effects of this modification have remained unknown so far. Here the authors combine biochemical and biophysical approaches, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and functional experiments with yeast and show that this lysine is a switch point, which specifically modulates conserved Hsp90 functions including co-chaperone regulation and client activation.

HSP90 Interacts with the Fibronectin N-terminal Domains and Increases Matrix Formation. Cells 2020; 9:cells9020272. [PMID: 31979118 PMCID: PMC7072298 DOI: 10.3390/cells9020272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Revised: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is an evolutionarily conserved chaperone protein that controls the function and stability of a wide range of cellular client proteins. Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular client protein of HSP90, and exogenous HSP90 or inhibitors of HSP90 alter the morphology of the extracellular matrix. Here, we further characterized the HSP90 and FN interaction. FN bound to the M domain of HSP90 and interacted with both the open and closed HSP90 conformations; and the interaction was reduced in the presence of sodium molybdate. HSP90 interacted with the N-terminal regions of FN, which are known to be important for matrix assembly. The highest affinity interaction was with the 30-kDa (heparin-binding) FN fragment, which also showed the greatest colocalization in cells and accommodated both HSP90 and heparin in the complex. The strength of interaction with HSP90 was influenced by the inherent stability of the FN fragments, together with the type of motif, where HSP90 preferentially bound the type-I FN repeat over the type-II repeat. Exogenous extracellular HSP90 led to increased incorporation of both full-length and 70-kDa fragments of FN into fibrils. Together, our data suggested that HSP90 may regulate FN matrix assembly through its interaction with N-terminal FN fragments.

Mutation of the co-chaperone Tsc1 in bladder cancer diminishes Hsp90 acetylation and reduces drug sensitivity and selectivity. Oncotarget 2019; 10:5824-5834.

Abstract
The molecular chaperone Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is essential for the folding, stability, and activity of several drivers of oncogenesis. Hsp90 inhibitors are currently under clinical evaluation for cancer treatment, however their efficacy is limited by lack of biomarkers to optimize patient selection. We have recently identified the tumor suppressor tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (Tsc1) as a new co-chaperone of Hsp90 that affects Hsp90 binding to its inhibitors. Highly variable mutations of TSC1 have been previously identified in bladder cancer and correlate with sensitivity to the Hsp90 inhibitors. Here we showed loss of TSC1 leads to hypoacetylation of Hsp90-K407/K419 and subsequent decreased binding to the Hsp90 inhibitor ganetespib. Pharmacologic inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs) restores acetylation of Hsp90 and sensitizes Tsc1-mutant bladder cancer cells to ganetespib, resulting in apoptosis. Our findings suggest that TSC1 status may predict response to Hsp90 inhibitors in patients with bladder cancer, and co-targeting HDACs can sensitize tumors with Tsc1 mutations to Hsp90 inhibitors.
