Function[HS90A_HUMAN] Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved for instance in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co-chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystal structure of a previously reported screening hit 1 (CCT018159) bound to the N terminal domain of molecular chaperone Hsp90 has been used to design 5-amide analogues. These exhibit enhanced potency against the target in binding and functional assays with accompanying appropriate cellular pharmacodynamic changes. Compound 11 (VER-49009) compares favorably with the clinically evaluated 17-AAG. Novel, potent small-molecule inhibitors of the molecular chaperone Hsp90 discovered through structure-based design.,Dymock BW, Barril X, Brough PA, Cansfield JE, Massey A, McDonald E, Hubbard RE, Surgenor A, Roughley SD, Webb P, Workman P, Wright L, Drysdale MJ J Med Chem. 2005 Jun 30;48(13):4212-5.
