Heat shock proteins (HSPs) help other proteins properly fold and function. HSP90 and HSP70 are molecular chaperones that work sequentially to fold proteins in the cytoplasm. Misfolded proteins can cause disease. HSP90 helps buffer hidden genetic variations but under stress these variations are expressed and can lead to morphological changes. HSP90 is highly conserved across species and plays a role in evolution by allowing traits to change in response to stress. Current research studies HSP90 to better understand protein misfolding diseases.

1. Heat shock Proteins (HSPs)
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are expressed in
response to various biological stresses,
including heat, high pressures, and toxic
compounds. It is also one of the most
abundant cellular proteins found under non-
stress conditions
Hsp90 is part of a family of proteins known
as "chaperones," which are solely dedicated
to helping other proteins fold and assume
their proper functions.
The chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90 together
with co-chaperones function to fold proteins in
the cytoplasm. Sometimes Hsp70 and Hsp90
function sequentially to fold the same protein
Cells are vigilant about getting these folds
right because misfolded proteins can change
the normal life of the cell. In some cases
change is good, in others deadly.
When HSP90 is compromised the number of
morphological changes increases, which lead
to formation of inactive or abnormally active
polypeptides.

2. Mad Cows, People & yeast
What do "mad cows," people with
neurodegenerative diseases and an
unusual type of yeast have in common?
They are all experiencing the effects of
misfolded proteins, according to HHMI
investigator Susan Lindquist of the
University of Chicago.
Her research identified a role for HSP90 in
the process of evolution.
They have reported that fruit flies that
make too little of the Hsp90 protein
develop dramatic deformities, such as an
extra antenna, additional bristles, notched
wings or malformed eyes.
The defects result from multiple hidden
variations in the genome.
When affected flies are interbred, these
factors are enriched and subsequent
generations have the same deformities,
even though they have normal levels of
Hsp90.

"My view is that
molecular chaperones
are a way of changing
the traits of an
organism that arose
very early in evolution.
They might be as old as
RNA and DNA."

3. HSPs in protein folding
The diagram shows the role of heat-
shock proteins and a chaperonin in
protein folding. As the ribosome moves
along the molecule of messenger RNA, a
chain of amino acids is built up to form a
new protein molecule. The chain is
protected against unwanted interactions
with other cytoplasmic molecules by
heat-shock proteins and a chaperonin
molecule until it has successfully
completed its folding.

5. BLASTp
With the HSP90 sequence in hand we used Blastp to find homologous sequences
We were surprised to find a lot of homologous sequences across many species like Humans,
Chicken,Pig, Mouse,Horse,Fish, Coral,fruit fly, mosquito, nematode,& even crops like rice,
maize & tobacco.
The first 100 matches had e-values ranging from 0 to e-153, so they were *very* strong
matches indicating a high degree of conservation of the protein through evolution.

8. Structure analysis
Comparison between Open & Closed conformations of human
HSP90 alpha
Transmembrane segments in yellow
We found ‘open’ and
‘closed’ conformations for
the Geldanamycin-
Binding Domain of the
Human Hsp90 protein &
decided to study their
differences. The parts in
yellow are the selected
residues which are also
the transmembrane

structures differ. The
same region is depicted
as the little grey segment
at one end of the
transmembrane

12. Current Studies on HSP90
Changes in protein conformation are involved in some of the most devastating and
intractable diseases.
“Studies in yeast may help us decipher the fundamental nature of these disorders,
including Creutzfeldt-Jakob, Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s
disease in humans and mad cow disease in cattle. Several of the protein culprits
are being imported into yeast, which allows for the manipulation & study of their
folding transitions & testing of therapeutic strategies.

Conclusion:
HSP90 is a powerful evolutionary mechanism that ensures apparent genetic stability at
physiological conditions and at the same time allows the mutations that could rapidly
become manifest under stress.
