Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are molecular chaperones that can account for upwards of 1-2% of all cellular protein.1 The Hsp90 gene family consists of Hsp90A, Hsp90B, and TRAP subfamilies. The Hsp90A family is localized in the cytoplasm and can be further sub-divided into Hsp90AA (inducible) and Hsp90AB (constitutively expressed), yielding Hsp90α and Hsp90β proteins, respectively. Hsp90B codes for the ER localized protein GRP94, while TRAP, producing TRAP1, is a mitochondrial chaperone.2 Hsp90 forms either homo or heterodimers of the α and β isoforms which then bind protein substrates that are unfolded and/or misfolded to assist in folding and prevent aggregation.3 C-terminus dimerization of Hsp90, coupled with the ATPase molecular clamp activity, cause a conformational change in the N-terminal nucleotide binding domain thus facilitating substrate binding.4 Hsp90 associates with many co-chaperones, including p23/Sba1, which help in recruiting substrates to the Hsp90 complex.5 Hsp90 works on many different substrates, however its activity seems to be more specific for protein kinases involved in signal transduction, steroid receptors, and cytoskeletal proteins.1
