Heat shock protein 90 chaperone activity is required for hepatitis A virus replication

open access: yesJournal of Virology
HSP90 heat shock chaperones are essential for maintaining cellular proteostasis, as well as the ATP-dependent folding and functional maturation of many viral proteins. As a result, inhibitors of HSP90 have broad antiviral activity, disrupting replication

Withanolides-induced breast cancer cell death is correlated with their ability to inhibit heat protein 90.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Withanolides are a large group of steroidal lactones found in Solanaceae plants that exhibit potential anticancer activities. We have previously demonstrated that a withanolide, tubocapsenolide A, induced cycle arrest and apoptosis in human breast cancer

The Expression Levels of Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) in Galleria mellonella Following Infection with the Entomopathogenic Nematode Steinernema carpocapsae and Its Symbiotic Bacteria Xenorhabdus nematophila

open access: yesInsects
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), particularly HSP90, play a vital role in insect responses to environmental and biotic stresses by maintaining protein stability and supporting immune defenses. This study explores HSP90 regulation in Galleria mellonella larvae

Human, vector and parasite Hsp90 proteins: A comparative bioinformatics analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2015
The treatment of protozoan parasitic diseases is challenging, and thus identification and analysis of new drug targets is important. Parasites survive within host organisms, and some need intermediate hosts to complete their life cycle.

HSP90 multi-functionality in cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
The 90-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP90s) are molecular chaperones essential for folding, unfolding, degradation and activity of a wide range of client proteins. HSP90s and their cognate co-chaperones are subject to various post-translational modifications,

Mechanisms of Resistance to Hsp90 Inhibitor Drugs: A Complex Mosaic Emerges

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2011
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 holds great promise as a cancer drug target, despite some of the initial clinical trials of Hsp90 inhibitor drugs having not lived up to expectation.

Changes in HSP gene and protein expression in natural scrapie with brain damage

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2011
Heat shock proteins (Hsp) perform cytoprotective functions such as apoptosis regulation and inflammatory response control. These proteins can also be secreted to the extracellular medium, acting as inflammatory mediators, and their chaperone activity ...

New Insights into Hsp90 Structural Plasticity Revealed by cryoEM

open access: yesBioChem
Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) acts as a crucial molecular chaperone, playing an essential role in activating numerous signaling proteins. The intricate mechanism of Hsp90 involving ATPase-coupled conformational changes and interactions with cochaperone ...
