Dynamic Aha1 co‐chaperone binding to human Hsp90
Authors:Javier Oroz  Laura J Blair  Markus Zweckstetter
Abstract:Hsp90 is an essential chaperone that requires large allosteric changes to determine its ATPase activity and client binding. The co‐chaperone Aha1, which is the major ATPase stimulator in eukaryotes, is important for regulation of Hsp90's allosteric timing. Little is known, however, about the structure of the Hsp90/Aha1 complex. Here, we characterize the solution structure of unmodified human Hsp90/Aha1 complex using NMR spectroscopy. We show that the 214‐kDa complex forms by a two‐step binding mechanism and adopts multiple conformations in the absence of nucleotide. Aha1 induces structural changes near Hsp90's nucleotide‐binding site, providing a basis for its ATPase‐enhancing activity. Our data reveal important aspects of this pivotal chaperone/co‐chaperone interaction and emphasize the relevance of characterizing dynamic chaperone structures in solution.
Keywords:Aha1  allostery  co‐chaperone  Hsp90  structure
