Activation of many protein kinases depends on their interaction with the Hsp90 molecular chaperone system. Recruitment of protein kinase clients to the Hsp90 chaperone system is mediated by the cochaperone adaptor protein Cdc37, which acts as a scaffold, simultaneously binding protein kinases and Hsp90. We have now expressed and purified an Hsp90-Cdc37-Cdk4 complex, defined its stoichiometry, and determined its 3D structure by single-particle electron microscopy. Comparison with the crystal structure of Hsp90 allows us to identify the locations of Cdc37 and Cdk4 in the complex and suggests a mechanism by which conformational changes in the kinase are coupled to the Hsp90 ATPase cycle.
许多蛋白激酶的激活依赖于它们与热休克蛋白90(Hsp90)分子伴侣系统的相互作用。蛋白激酶底物被招募到Hsp90伴侣系统是由共伴侣衔接蛋白Cdc37介导的,Cdc37作为一个支架,同时结合蛋白激酶和Hsp90。我们现已表达并纯化了Hsp90-Cdc37-Cdk4复合物,确定了其化学计量,并通过单颗粒电子显微镜确定了其三维结构。与Hsp90晶体结构的比较使我们能够确定复合物中Cdc37和Cdk4的位置,并提出了一种激酶构象变化与Hsp90 ATP酶循环偶联的机制。
