Rethinking the role of HIF in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Tumor hypoxia is a hallmark of cancer driving disease, in part through activation of hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs). While HIF‐1α is classically understood as a hypoxia‐responsive transcription factor, its role under normoxic conditions in cells is less clear.

Heat shock protein 90 inhibition: rationale and clinical potential

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology, 2012
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone protein essential for cellular survival. Functionally, HSPs promote proper protein folding, prevent misfolding, and restore three-dimensional protein structure which is critical following toxic ...

Holding but not folding: How a single charge flip uncouples the DNAJC7‐Hsp70 relay in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this issue, Elmaleh et al. demonstrate that the E425K mutation in DNAJC7, associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, selectively abolishes one of a co‐chaperone's dual functions. High‐resolution NMR confirmed that the mutation leaves the protein's structure intact while paralyzing its communication with the Hsp70 machinery.

Insights into Hsp90 mechanism and in vivo functions learned from studies in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 (Heat shock protein, 90 kDa) is an abundant and essential cytosolic protein required for the stability and/or folding of hundreds of client proteins.

PAX8‐positive conventional urothelial carcinomas of the urinary bladder and their distinct molecular profiles – A clinicopathologic study of 101 consecutive cases with next‐generation sequencing in 20 cases

open access: yesHistopathology, EarlyView.
PAX8 expression in urothelial carcinoma was investigated in 101 consecutive transurethral resections of the urinary bladder. PAX8 was positive in 10% of cases, with targeted molecular testing of these cases revealing universal TERT promoter mutations and frequent alterations in TSC1, NOTCH1 and WT1. Aims PAX8 immunohistochemistry (IHC) is often used to

HSP101‐encoding NEO‐TETRAPLOID RICE FERTILITY GENE 1 regulates tapetum development through interaction with SAPK2 in polyploid rice

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In neo‐tetraploid rice, the NTRF1–SAPK2 heat shock protein–kinase module coordinates abscisic acid signaling with reactive oxygen species homeostasis to ensure timely tapetal programmed cell death and subsequent pollen maturation, providing a resource for the genetic improvement of polyploid rice.

Evolvability of Chaperonin Substrate Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Molecular chaperones ensure that their substrate proteins reach the functional native state, and prevent their aggregation. Recently, an additional function was proposed for molecular chaperones: they serve as buffers (_capacitors_) for evolution by ...
