Heat Shock Protein 90: Truly Moonlighting!

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Regulation of Heat Shock Protein Responses

Part of the book series: Heat Shock Proteins ((HESP,volume 13))

Abstract

Hsp90 is an essential and abundantly expressed molecular chaperone in any living cell. The multiplicity of Hsp90 cellular functions is driven by its interaction with a broad range of partner proteins and thereby establishing itself as a moonlighting molecule. There are newer insights emerging to ascertain the cellular and physiological roles of Hsp90, such as (and not limited to) chromatin remodeling, gene regulation and developmental pathways. Hsp90 has been recognized as an important therapeutic target and has been linked to an increasing number of diseases, including cancer. Development of Hsp90 therapeutic reagents would be valuable research tools towards the maintenance of the proteome in health and disease. This review revisits the expression, structure-function, and clinical significance of the Hsp90 and its forms and reinforces its impact as a disease target.
