Structure insights into mechanisms of ATP hydrolysis and the activation of human heat-shock protein 90

Acta Biochim Biophys Sin (Shanghai). 2012 Apr;44(4):300-6. doi: 10.1093/abbs/gms001. Epub 2012 Feb 7.

Abstract

The activation of molecular chaperone heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is dependent on ATP binding and hydrolysis, which occurs in the N-terminal domains of protein. Here, we have determined three crystal structures of the N-terminal domain of human Hsp90 in native and in complex with ATP and ATP analog, providing a clear view of the catalytic mechanism of ATP hydrolysis by Hsp90. Additionally, the binding of ATP leads the N-terminal domains to be an intermediate state that could be used to partially explain why the isolated N-terminal domain of Hsp90 has very weak ATP hydrolytic activity.
