== Function ==<br />
<br />
The primary function of [[Chaperones]] is protein folding. They are proteins that assist/chaperone other proteins as they fold or unfold and assemble or disassemble in order to prevent misfolding and unwanted protein aggregation.<br />
<br />
Some chaperones function closely with ribosomes in order to help fold newly made proteins, sometimes co-translationally. However, most proteins will fold spontaneously without the help of a chaperone. Chaperones become necessary for most proteins only when the intracellular environment becomes too crowded, thus increasing the chances of protein aggregation unless aided by a chaperone. See also [[Chaperones]].<br />
<br />
Many chaperones are heat shock proteins (typically abbreviated as "Hsp" with the approximate molecular weight afterwards) that are expressed in response to high temperatures or other cellular stresses which impact protein folding. In these environments chaperones function to prevent or correct damage caused by misfolding and to prevent unwanted protein aggregation, which is more likely to happen when proteins are denatured by stress. Some heat shock protein chaperones are present at low to moderate levels in virtually all organisms at all times in order to help in essential protein maintenance. <ref>Ellis, R.J. and van der Vies, S.M. (1991). "Molecular chaperones". Annual Review of Biochemistry 60: 321–47</ref><br />
<br />
A special type of heat shock protein is Hsp90. Hsp90 is part of a chaperone complex with other general chaperones and functions to assist in the maturation of a select clientele of proteins. What exactly Hsp90 does to it's client proteins is the part of it's function that is still a mystery. Furthermore, a link between client proteins other than the fact that they all require Hsp90 to maintain active forms is of yet unknown.<ref name='Goodsell'>Goodsell, David. (2008). "Molecule of the Month: Hsp90." Education Portal of Protein Data Bank. doi: 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2008_12</ref> <br />
<br />
== Structural highlights ==<br />
<br />
Hsp90 secondary structure consists of nine alpha helices and eight anti-parallel beta sheets. Hsp90 is a cytoplasmic protein, which makes it necessary for it to be globular. This means it orients it's hydrophobic residues toward it's interior so as not to cause energetically unfavorable clashes with water in the cytoplasm.<br />
<br />
Hsp90 consists of four structural domains and it's functional form is a homodimer. The binding sites holding the dimer together are in the C-terminal domain only in the open conformation, but the N-terminal domain comes into play in the closed conformation. Hsp90 has three functional domains: the ATP-binding domain, the client protein binding domain and the dimerizing domain. <ref>Prodromou C, Pearl LH (October 2003). "Structure and functional relationships of Hsp90". Curr Cancer Drug Targets 3 (5): 301–23. doi:10.2174/1568009033481877. PMID 14529383.</ref> <br />

[[Image:Hsp90.jpg|thumb|Conformational changes of Hsp90<ref name='Goodsell'/>]]<br />
<br />
The inactive form of Hsp90 is open, but binding of ATP causes the molecule to close into the active form. The N-terminal domain is the cite of the ATP binding pocket. Amino acids Leu34, Asn37, Asp79, Asn92, Lys98, Gly121, and Phe124 are in the N-terminal domain and are directly involved in ATP binding. Mg2+ is also present and involved in electrostatic bonding interactions with ATP. This results in a high-affinity ATP-binding site. Hsp90 binds ATP when in the open/inactive conformation and then cleaves the ATP into ADP to drive the conformational change into the closed/active form.<ref>Prodromou C, Roe SM, O'Brien R, Ladbury JE, Piper PW, Pearl LH (July 1997). "Identification and structural characterization of the ATP/ADP-binding site in the Hsp90 molecular chaperone". Cell 90 (1): 65–75. doi:10.1016/S0092-8674(00)80314-1. PMID 9230303.</ref><br />
<br />
The protein binding domain is in the C-terminus. Hydrophobic residues in the C-terminus are exposed while the dimer is in the open conformation, allowing unfolded and misfolded client proteins to bind. When the N-terminal domain hydrolyzes ATP and drives the confirmation change the C-terminal domain clamps down on the client protein.<ref>Grenert JP, Sullivan WP, Fadden P, Haystead TA, Clark J, Mimnaugh E, Krutzsch H, Ochel HJ, Schulte TW, Sausville E, Neckers LM, Toft DO (September 1997). "The amino-terminal domain of heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) that binds geldanamycin is an ATP/ADP switch domain that regulates hsp90 conformation". J. Biol. Chem. 272 (38): 23843–50. doi:10.1074/jbc.272.38.23843. PMID 9295332.</ref><br />

<br />
Because many client proteins of the chaperone protein Hsp90 are involved in cellular growth, inhibition of the ATPase activity of Hsp90 is a potential strategy for the treatment of cancers.<br />
<br />
Geldanamycin is a natural product made by Streptomyces bacteria that blocks the binding of ATP to Hsp90. This freezes the large conformational change needed for function and causes complexes of Hsp90 and misfolded proteins to accumulate in the cytoplasm. These accumulated proteins are then targeted for degredation by the ubiquitin/proteosome system, which ultimately leads to cell death as a result of corrupted growth controlling signaling pathways. Unfortunately, geldanamycin is too toxic to normal body cells for use as an anticancer drug.<ref name='Goodsell'/><br />
<br />
However, less toxic compounds with the same mechanism have been developed. A ligand called PU3 is a purine based inhibitor that has been developed using human Hsp90 protein 1UYM for the potential purpose as an anticancer drug targeted at HSP90 proteins. PU3 tightly binds the ATP binding site of 1UYM and causes downregulation on it's client proteins. This results in misfolded proteins accumulating in the cell and eventual cell death. <ref>DOI: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2004.03.033</ref> <br />
<br />
It is important to note that although Hsp90 is essential in normal cells to aid in general protein maintenance, cancer cells rely more heavily on Hsp90 and therefore respond more strongly to downregulation. Therefore Hsp90 inhibitors are more detrimental to cancer cells than normal cells.<ref name='Goodsell'/><br />

'''Chaperones''' are proteins that are involved in the folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. The word chaperone means 'giving protection' which implies the idea of preventing new proteins from misfolding. They exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system where as other chaperones are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''. They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as [[Hsp40s]], Hsp60s [[Chaperonin]], <scene name='59/591341/Structural_organization/2'>Hsp70s</scene>, Hsp90s such as [[1am1]], [[Hsp100s]] and small heat shock proteins like (alpha)-crystallin proteins. Various classes of molecular chaperones cooperate for the folding of the nascent polypeptide chains in the cyotplasm <ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>. See also [[Heat Shock Proteins]]. <br />
== Function ==<br />
Chaperones bind to the newly synthesized and unfolded proteins helping them acquire their properly folded 3D structure <ref>PMID: 3112578</ref>. Besides, chaperones help in targeting the native proteins to their respective organelles <ref>PMID:3282178</ref><ref>DOI: 10.1002/iub.1272</ref>. The first identified chaperones were the histone chaperones that are continously involved in histone metabolism thus regulating genome function, stability and identity<ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060713-035536</ref>. Many protozoan parasites such as ''Plasmodium falciparum'' requires these proteins for cytoprotection and targeting of nuclear encoded proteins to apicoplast required for necessary biosynthetic processes like fatty acid biosynthesis <ref>PMID: 19339102</ref><ref>PMID: 21316608</ref>. Chaperones actively participate in the maintenance of proteome integrity and protein homeostasis (proteostasis) which requires a syncrhonization in various chaperones tuning the process <ref>DOI: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Disease ==<br />
Chaperones are instrumental in protein folding processes. Alteration in this process may lead to protein aggregation and formation of inclusion bodies. Protein misfolding may result in various diseases such as Alzheimer <ref>PMID:16048838</ref>, Parkinson <ref>PMID:16610362</ref>, Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis <ref>doi:10.1002/prca.200780023</ref>, Huntington<ref>PMID:24323530</ref>, Spinocerebellar ataxia 1, 2, 3 <ref>doi:10.1016/B978-0-444-51892-7.00027-9</ref>, Spinobulbar muscular atrophy <ref>doi: 10.1093/hmg/11.5.515</ref> and ageing <ref>doi:10.1111/j.1742-4658.2006.05181.x</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Relevance ==<br />
Modulation of chaperone's expression is a new therapeutic approach for the neurodegenerative and other diseases arising from protein misfolding. There is a distinct network of chaperones and co chaperones that either directly influences the substrate proteins or in association with the protein degradation pathways such as the ubiquitin-proteasome-system or autophagy, results in the removal of completely misfolded and pathogenic proteins<ref>doi:10.1186/2051-5960-1-79</ref>.<br />

Modulation of chaperone's expression is a new therapeutic approach for the neurodegenerative and other diseases arising from protein misfolding. There is a distinct network of chaperones and co chaperones that either directly influences the substrate proteins or in association with the protein degradation pathways such as the ubiquitin-proteasome-system or autophagy, results in the removal of completely misfolded and pathogenic proteins<ref>doi:10.1186/2051-5960-1-79</ref>.<br />

'''Chaperones''' are proteins that are involved in the folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. The word chaperone means 'giving protection' which implies the idea of preventing new proteins from misfolding. They exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system where as other chaperones are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''. They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as [[Hsp40s]], Hsp60s [[Chaperonin]], <scene name='59/591341/Structural_organization/2'>Hsp70s</scene>, Hsp90s such as [[1am1]], [[Hsp100s]] and small heat shock proteins like (alpha)-crystallin proteins. Various classes of molecular chaperones cooperate for the folding of the nascent polypeptide chains in the cyotplasm <ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>. See also [[Heat Shock Proteins]]. <br />

Chaperones bind to the newly synthesized and unfolded proteins helping them acquire their properly folded 3D structure <ref>PMID: 3112578</ref>.

The first identified chaperones were the histone chaperones that are continously involved in histone metabolism thus regulating genome function, stability and identity<ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060713-035536</ref>.

Modulation of chaperone's expression is a new therapeutic approach for the neurodegenerative and other diseases arising from protein misfolding. There is a distinct network of chaperones and co chaperones that either directly influences the substrate proteins or in association with the protein degradation pathways such as the ubiquitin-proteasome-system or autophagy, results in the removal of completely misfolded and pathogenic proteins<ref>doi:10.1186/2051-5960-1-79</ref>.<br />

Chaperones are proteins that are involved in the folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. The word chaperone means 'giving protection' which implies the idea of preventing new proteins from misfolding. They exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system where as other chaperones are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''. They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as [[Hsp40s]], Hsp60s [[Chaperonin]], <scene name='59/591341/Structural_organization/2'>Hsp70s</scene>, Hsp90s such as [[1am1]], [[Hsp100s]] and small heat shock proteins like (alpha)-crystallin proteins. Various classes of molecular chaperones cooperate for the folding of the nascent polypeptide chains in the cyotplasm <ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>. <br />

Chaperones bind to the newly synthesized and unfolded proteins helping them acquire their properly folded 3D structure <ref>PMID: 3112578</ref>.

Many protozoan parasites such as ''Plasmodium falciparum'' requires these proteins for cytoprotection <ref>PMID: 14711509</ref> <ref>PMID: 19339102</ref>.

They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as [[Hsp40s]], Hsp60s [[Chaperonin]], Hsp70s, Hsp90s such as [[1am1]], [[Hsp100s]] and small heat shock proteins like (alpha)-crystallin proteins. Various classes of molecular chaperones cooperate for the folding of the nascent polypeptide chains in the cyotplasm <ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>. <br />

Modulation of chaperone's expression is a new therapeutic approach for the neurodegenerative and other diseases arising from protein misfolding.

Chaperones are proteins that are involved in the folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. The word chaperone means giving protection which implies the idea of preventing new proteins from misfolding. They exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system where as other chaperones are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''. They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as [[Hsp40s]], Hsp60s [[Chaperonin]], Hsp70s, Hsp90s such as [[1am1]], [[Hsp100s]] and small heat shock proteins like (alpha)-crystallin proteins. Various classes of molecular chaperones cooperate for the folding of the nascent polypeptide chains in the cyotplasm <ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>. <br />

Chaperones bind to the newly synthesized and unfolded proteins helping them acquire their properly folded 3D structure <ref>PMID: 3112578</ref>.

These proteins ( J protein) and NEF cochaperones regulate the Hsp70 reaction cycle. The Hsp40 proteins constitute a large family with more than 40 members in<br />
humans. All of them contain a J domain, which binds to the N-terminal ATPase domain of Hsp70 and the adjacent linker region. Canonical Hsp40s (members of classes I and II) function as chaperones independently and recruit Hsp70 to nonnative substrate proteins. Other Hsp40s (class III) are more diverse<br />
and combine the J domain with a variety of functional modules. The interaction with Hsp70 strongly stimulates the hydrolysis of Hsp70-bound ATP to<br />
ADP, resulting in stable substrate binding by Hsp70 in the closed conformation <ref>PMID:23746257</ref> to the rescue.<br />

The HSP100 proteins are also known as AAA+ chaperones that act as unfoldases and disaggregases, forceful unfolding motors that deliver substrates to compartmentalized proteases or disassemble aggregates containing misfolded proteins. They form oligomeric ring structures and have mechanical actions such as threading polypeptides or polynucleotides through a central channel in order to unfold or unwind them. AAA+ proteins function in various cellular processes, including the disassembly of complexes, for example the SNARE complexes that bring membranes together for vesicle fusion. The role of chaperone members of this family is best characterized in regulated proteolysis. At the core of these compartmentalized proteases is a stack of co-axial ATPase and protease rings, formed either by separate functional domains of a single subunit type (as in the bacterial Lon protease) or in separate ATPase and protease subunit rings (as in the HslUV (also known as ClpYQ) complex). In HslUV, both rings are hexameric, whereas others such as ClpAP have a symmetry mismatch with hexameric ClpA ATPase and heptameric ClpP protease rings87. Although the eukaryotic proteasome is much more complex, it has the same core architecture, and its regulatory cap contains a heterohexamer of ATPase subunits (RPT1–RPT6) that performs the same unfolding and threading functions <ref>PMID:24026055</ref> to the rescue.<br />

In HslUV, both rings are hexameric, whereas others such as ClpAP have a symmetry mismatch with hexameric ClpA ATPase and heptameric ClpP protease rings87. Although the eukaryotic proteasome is much more complex, it has the same core architecture, and its regulatory cap contains a heterohexamer of ATPase subunits (RPT1–RPT6) that performs the same unfolding and threading functions <ref>PMID:24026055</ref> to the rescue.<br />

Chaperones are proteins that are involved in the folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. They exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system where as other chaperones are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''. They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as [[Hsp40]], Hsp60s [[Chaperonin]], Hsp70s, Hsp90s [[1am1]], Hsp100 and small heat shock proteins (alpha)-crystallin proteins. Molecular chaperones work cooperatively on the nascent polypeptide chains in the cyotplasm resulting in to folding pathways, many of them are evolutionarily conserved<ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>. <br />

Modulation of chaperones expression is the new therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative and other disease arising from protein misfolding. There is a distinct network of chaperones and co chaperones that either directly influences the substrate proteins or in association with the protein degradation pathways such as the ubiquitin-proteasome-system or autophagy, results in the removal of completely misfolded and pathogenic proteins<ref>doi:10.1186/2051-5960-1-79</ref>.<br />

Chaperones are proteins that are involved in the non-covalent folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. It exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system however, there are other chaperones that are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''.They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as Hsp100, Hsp90, Hsp60 [[Chaperonin]], small heat shock proteins (alpha)-crystallin proteins. They do not undergo denaturation themselves when exposed to stress because of better hydrogen bonding, strong hydrophobic core interactions, enhanced secondary structure and helix dipole stabilization.<br />

Chaperones bind to the newly synthesized proteins helping them acquire their properly folded 3D structure <ref>PMID: 3112578</ref> Besides, chaperones help in targeting the native proteins to their respective organelles <ref>PMID:3282178</ref><ref>DOI: 10.1002/iub.1272</ref> The first identified chaperones were the histone chaperones that are continously involved in histone metabolism thus regulating genome function, stability and identity<ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060713-035536</ref>.

Chaperones are instrumental in protein folding processes. Any alteration in this process leads to protein aggregation and formation of inclusion bodies. Protein misfolding results in various diseases such as Alzheimer<ref>PMID: 16048838</ref>,Cytosolic neurofibrillatory tangles,Parkinson<ref>PMID: 16610362</ref>,Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington, Spinocerebellar ataxia 1, 2, 3, disease, Spinobulbar muscular atrophy and ageing<ref>doi:10.1111/j.1742-4658.2006.05181.x</ref>.<br />

Modulation of chaperones expression is the new therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative and other disease arising from protein misfolding. There is a distinct network of chaperones and co chaperones that either directly influences the substrate proteins or in association with the protein degradation pathways such as the ubiquitin-proteasome-system or autophagy, results in the removal of completely misfolded and pathogenic proteins<ref>doi:10.1186/2051-5960-1-79</ref>.<br />

Chaperones are proteins that are involved in the non-covalent folding and unfolding of other macromolecules. It exists both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Some chaperones are constitutively expressed in the system however, there are other chaperones that are expressed only in response to an external stimulus or stress such as heat and therefore they are referred to as ''heat shock proteins''.They are classified based on their structure, size, molecular weight and function in to several classes such as Hsp100, Hsp90, Hsp60 [[Chaperonin]], small heat shock proteins (alpha)-crystallin proteins. They do not undergo denaturation themselves when exposed to stress because of better hydrogen bonding, strong hydrophobic core interactions, enhanced secondary structure and helix dipole stabilization.<br />
== Function ==<br />
Chaperones bind to the newly synthesized proteins helping them acquire their properly folded 3D structure <ref>PMID: 3112578</ref> Besides, chaperones help in targeting the native proteins to their respective organelles <ref>PMID:3282178</ref><ref>DOI: 10.1002/iub.1272</ref> The first identified chaperones were the histone chaperones that are continously involved in histone metabolism thus regulating genome function, stability and identity<ref>doi: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060713-035536</ref>. Many protozoan parasites such as ''Plasmodium falciparum'' requires these proteins for cytoprotection <ref>PMID: 14711509</ref> <ref>PMID: 19339102</ref>Chaperones actively participate in the maintenance of proteome integrity, and protein homeostasis (proteostasis) which requires a syncrhonization in various chaperones tuning the process <ref>DOI: 10.1146/annurev-biochem-060208-092442</ref>.<br />
== Disease ==<br />
Chaperones are instrumental in protein folding processes. Any alteration in this process leads to protein aggregation and formation of inclusion bodies. Protein misfolding results in various diseases such as Alzheimer<ref>PMID: 16048838</ref>,Cytosolic neurofibrillatory tangles,Parkinson<ref>PMID: 16610362</ref>,Familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington, Spinocerebellar ataxia 1, 2, 3, disease, Spinobulbar muscular atrophy and ageing<ref>doi:10.1111/j.1742-4658.2006.05181.x</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Relevance ==<br />
Modulation of chaperones expression is the new therapeutic approach for neurodegenerative and other disease arising from protein misfolding. There is a distinct network of chaperones and co chaperones that either directly influences the substrate proteins or in association with the protein degradation pathways such as the ubiquitin-proteasome-system or autophagy, results in the removal of completely misfolded and pathogenic proteins<ref>doi:10.1186/2051-5960-1-79</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Structural highlights ==<br />
<br />
Structurally, heat shock proteins have a N-terminal ATPase domain followed by a substrate binding domain with elongated C-terminal. These domains <scene name='59/591341/Transition1/2'>allosterically regulate</scene> the hsp70 functioning. <scene name='59/591341/4jn4/2'>4JN4</scene> is a representative example of a chaperone system in complex with ADP.<br />
