Activation of the ATPase activity of hsp90 by the stress-regulated cochaperone aha1.

TL;DR: A ubiquitous family of stress-regulated proteins have been identified (Aha1, activator of Hsp90 ATPase) that bind directly to HSp90 and are required for the in vivo Hsp 90-dependent activation of clients such as v-Src, implicating them as cochaperones of the Hsp80 system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ATPase cycle of Hsp90 drives a molecular ‘clamp’ via transient dimerization of the N-terminal domains

TL;DR: Data show that Hsp90 has a molecular ‘clamp’ mechanism, similar to DNA gyrase and MutL, whose opening and closing by transient N‐terminal dimerization are directly coupled to the ATPase cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Hsp90 ATPase activity by tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-domain co-chaperones

TL;DR: An important role for TPR‐domain co‐chaperones as regulators of the ATPase activity of Hsp90 is revealed, showing that the ATP‐dependent step in HSp90‐mediated protein folding occurs after the binding of the folding client protein, and suggesting that ATP hydrolysis triggers client‐protein release.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of Hsp90 ATPase activity by the co-chaperone Cdc37p/p50cdc37.

TL;DR: It is shown that Cdc37p/p50 cdc37, like Sti1/Hop/p60, also suppresses ATP turnover by Hsp90 supporting the idea that client protein loading to HSp90 requires a “relaxed” ADP-bound conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Co-chaperone regulation of conformational switching in the Hsp90 ATPase cycle.

TL;DR: Data indicated that Sba1 and Aha1 regulate Hsp90 by influencing the conformational state of the “ATP lid” and consequent N-terminal dimerization, whereas Sti1 does not.
