HSP90 at the hub of protein homeostasis: emerging mechanistic insights

TLDR
Comprehensive understanding of how HSP90 functions promises not only to provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention, but to shed light on fundamental biological questions.
Abstract
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that facilitates the maturation of a wide range of proteins (known as clients). Clients are enriched in signal transducers, including kinases and transcription factors. Therefore, HSP90 regulates diverse cellular functions and exerts marked effects on normal biology, disease and evolutionary processes. Recent structural and functional analyses have provided new insights on the transcriptional and biochemical regulation of HSP90 and the structural dynamics it uses to act on a diverse client repertoire. Comprehensive understanding of how HSP90 functions promises not only to provide new avenues for therapeutic intervention, but to shed light on fundamental biological questions.

Opposing Actions of Heat Shock Protein 90 and 70 Regulate Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase Stability and Reactive Oxygen Species Production

TL;DR: It is concluded that Hsp90 binds to and regulates Nox protein stability, which is opposed by Hsp70 and CHIP, which promote the ubiquitination and degradation of Nox proteins and reduce reactive oxygen species production.

Mechanism of Activation of the Raf-Erk Signaling Pathway by Oncogenic Mutations of B-Raf

TL;DR: The high activity mutants signal to ERK by directly phosphorylating MEK, whereas the impaired activity mutants stimulate MEK by activating endogenous C-RAF, possibly via an allosteric or transphosphorylation mechanism.
