TLDR
The role of Hsp90 is discussed in all the three aforementioned mechanisms of transcriptional control, taking examples from various model organisms with a special emphasis on cancer progression.
Abstract
In the last decade Hsp90 has emerged as a major regulator of cancer cell growth and proliferation In cancer cells, it assists in giving maturation to oncogenic proteins including several kinases and transcription factors Recent studies have shown that apart from its chaperone activity, it also imparts regulation of transcription machinery and thereby alters the cellular physiology Hsp90 and its co-chaperones modulate transcription at-least at three different levels In the first place, they alter the steady-state levels of certain transcription factors in response to various physiological cues Secondly, they modulate the activity of certain epigenetic modifiers, such as histone deacetylases or DNA methyl transferases, and thereby respond to the change in the environment Thirdly, they participate in the eviction of histones from the promoter region of certain genes and thereby turn on gene expression In this review, we discuss the role of Hsp90 in all the three aforementioned mechanisms of transcriptional control, taking examples from various model organisms with a special emphasis on cancer progression

The Global Phosphorylation Landscape of SARS-CoV-2 Infection.

Mehdi Bouhaddou, +77 more
- 06 Aug 2020 - 
TL;DR: A quantitative mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics survey of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Vero E6 cells reveals dramatic rewiring of phosphorylation on host and viral proteins, revealing potential COVID-19 therapies.

Increased protein stability causes DNA methyltransferase 1 dysregulation in breast cancer. Vol. 280 (2005) 18302-18310

TL;DR: In this article, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) expression is dysregulated in breast cancer without a concomitant increase in DNMT1 mRNA or proliferative fraction.

Adapting to stress - chaperome networks in cancer.

TL;DR: It is argued that in cancer cells, a state of chaperomes hyperconnectivity is obtained by increasing the interaction strength among chaperome machinery members, and this concept will change how drugs targeting the chaperite to treat cancer are developed and implemented.

LSD1 engages a corepressor complex for the activation of the estrogen receptor α by estrogen and cAMP

TL;DR: The estrogen receptor α (ERα) is a transcription factor that can be directly activated by estrogen or indirectly by other signaling pathways as mentioned in this paper, and activation of the unliganded ERα by cAMP is mediated by phosphorylation of the transcriptional coactivator CARM1 by protein kinase A (PKA).

HSP90 Chaperoning in Addition to Phosphoprotein Required for Folding but Not for Supporting Enzymatic Activities of Measles and Nipah Virus L Polymerases

TL;DR: It is found that efficient chaperoning of L by HSP90 requires P in the measles, Nipah, and vesicular stomatitis viruses, a new paradigm for the maturation of a viral polymerase appears to be conserved in several members of the Mononegavirales order.

Comprehensive molecular portraits of human breast tumours

Daniel C. Koboldt, +355 more
- 04 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: The ability to integrate information across platforms provided key insights into previously defined gene expression subtypes and demonstrated the existence of four main breast cancer classes when combining data from five platforms, each of which shows significant molecular heterogeneity.

Molecular determinants of resistance to antiandrogen therapy

TL;DR: Using microarray-based profiling of isogenic prostate cancer xenograft models, it is found that a modest increase in androgen receptor mRNA was the only change consistently associated with the development of resistance to antiandrogen therapy.

ATP-Driven Exchange of Histone H2AZ Variant Catalyzed by SWR1 Chromatin Remodeling Complex

TL;DR: It is found that Swr1, a Swi2/Snf2-related adenosine triphosphatase, is the catalytic core of a multisubunit, histone-variant exchanger that efficiently replaces conventional histone H2A with hist one H2AZ in nucleosome arrays.

The JAK-STAT pathway at twenty.

TL;DR: This initial description of the JAK-STAT pathway led quickly to additional discoveries that type II interferons and many other cytokines signal through similar mechanisms, and it now serves as a paradigm showing how information from protein-protein contacts at the cell surface can be conveyed directly to genes in the nucleus.
