Additional info: | Hsp90 is crucial to cellular signaling by its regulation of the folding, activity, and stability of a wide range of client proteins. These client protein complexes may also contain one or more co-chaperones. One class of Hsp90-binding co-chaperone is composed of proteins with a characteristic tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain that forms an Hsp90 binding site. Among the TRP co-chaperones of Hsp90 are Hop/Sti1, protein phosphatase PP5, and members of both the FK506- and cyclosporin A-binding families of immunophilins. FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP51) and FKBP52 are large molecular weight immunophilins that are part of the mature glucocorticoid receptor (GR) heterocomplex. The N-terminal domain of each protein binds FK506 and has peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPlase) activity that converts prolyl peptide bonds within target proteins from cis- to trans- proline. The C-terminal domains contain the TRP repeats involved in protein-protein interactions with Hsp40. Although FKBP52 and FKBP51 share ~75% sequence similarity, they affect hormone binding by the glucocorticoid receptor in opposing manners and have different Hsp90-binding characteristics. Also, whereas FKBP51 typically has a role with the progesterone receptor, FKBP52 has been found to be linked to the progesterone, androgen, and glucocorticoid receptors. |
