Standing watch over the proteome, molecular chaperones are an ancient and evolutionarily conserved class of proteins that guide the normal folding, intracellular disposition and proteolytic turnover of many of the key regulators of cell growth, differentiation and survival. This essential guardian function is subverted during oncogenesis to allow malignant transformation and to facilitate rapid somatic evolution. Pharmacologically 'bribing' the essential guard duty of the chaperone HSP90 (heat…

Targeting the dynamic HSP90 complex in cancer
The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) has been used by cancer cells to facilitate the function of numerous oncoproteins, and it can be argued that cancer cells are 'addicted' to…
Heat shock protein 90 inhibitors as therapeutic agents.
TLDR
The current state and progress achieved in the development of HSP90 inhibitors targeting the N-terminal ATP pocket, C- terminal domain, different compartmentalized isoforms, and protein (cochaperones and/or client proteins)/HSP90 interactions are summarized.
Molecular Chaperones and How Addiction Matters in Cancer Therapy
TLDR
The many functions this oncogenic HSP90 takes on in cancer cells are detailed and how the addiction of cancer-altered networks on H SP90 can be harvested therapeutically by small molecule HSP 90 inhibitors are discussed.
Targeting HSP90 for cancer therapy
TLDR
An overview of the HSP chaperone machinery and the structure and function is provided and how inhibition of HSP90 could alter the activity of multiple signalling proteins, receptors and transcriptional factors implicated in carcinogenesis is described.
Contribution of the Type II Chaperonin, TRiC/CCT, to Oncogenesis
TLDR
The role of chaperonin TRiC (T-complex protein-1 ring complex, also known as CCT) in the development and progression of cancer mediated through its critical interactions with oncogenic clients that modulate growth deregulation, apoptosis, and genome instability in cancer cells is highlighted.
Pharmacological targeting of the Hsp70 chaperone.
TLDR
The current state of Hsp70 as a drug target is reviewed, with a special emphasis on the important challenges and opportunities imposed by its co-chaperones, protein-protein interactions and allostery.
The Candida albicans Hsp90 Chaperone Network Is Environmentally Flexible and Evolutionarily Divergent
TLDR
A global overview of Hsp90 interactions in the leading fungal pathogen of humans, Candida albicans, governs virulence, morphogenesis, and drug resistance is presented.
Hsp90 Structure and Function in Cancer
TLDR
HSP90 structure and function in normal cells and in malignancy are described and it is shown that HSP90 is an attractive target strategy for tumor treatment.
Discovery and development of natural heat shock protein 90 inhibitors in cancer treatment
The HSP90 chaperone machinery
TLDR
Owing to the importance of HSP90 in the regulation of many cellular proteins, it has become a promising drug target for the treatment of several diseases, which include cancer and diseases associated with protein misfolding.

Altered Hsp90 function in cancer: a unique therapeutic opportunity.
TLDR
Data show essential roles for the chaperones in facilitating malignant transformation at the molecular level and support the concept that their altered utilization during oncogenesis is critical to the development of human cancers.
Inhibitors of HSP90 and other chaperones for the treatment of cancer
TLDR
The continued progression of these various compound classes into clinical trials should help to establish proof of concept for inhibition of HSP90 as a viable therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer and potentially other diseases, and validate protein folding as a strategy for drug development.

Therapeutic and diagnostic implications of Hsp90 activation
Molecular chaperones and the stress of oncogenesis
TLDR
It has been established that heat-shock proteins exhibit specificity to particular classes of polypeptide substrates and client proteins in vivo, and that chaperones can stabilize mutations that affect the folded conformation.
Structural basis for inhibition of the Hsp90 molecular chaperone by the antitumor antibiotics radicicol and geldanamycin.
TLDR
Crystal structure determinations of Hsp90 N-terminal domain complexes with geldanamycin and radicicol identify key aspects of their nucleotide mimicry and suggest a rational basis for the design of novel antichaperone drugs.
