Discovery of novel Hsp90 C-terminal domain inhibitors that disrupt co-chaperone binding.

Authors:
Oi Wei Mak Nabangshu Sharma Jóhannes Reynisson Ivanhoe K H Leung

Bioorg Med Chem Lett 2021 Apr 18;38:127857. Epub 2021 Feb 18.

Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is an essential molecular chaperone that performs vital stress-related and housekeeping functions in cells and is a current therapeutic target for diseases such as cancers. Particularly, the development of Hsp90 C-terminal domain (CTD) inhibitors is highly desirable as inhibitors that target the N-terminal nucleotide-binding domain may cause unwanted biological effects. Herein, we report on the discovery of two drug-like novel Hsp90 CTD inhibitors by using virtual screening and intrinsic protein fluorescence quenching binding assays, paving the way for future development of new therapies that employ molecular chaperone inhibitors.

In mammals, tail-anchored (TA) proteins that are posttranslationally captured by the chaperone SGTA are triaged by the BAG6 complex into one of two fates: handoff to an ER targeting factor for membrane insertion or polyubiquitination for destruction by the proteasome. In this issue, Culver and Mariappan (2021. J. Read More

Pridopidine reduces mutant huntingtin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress by modulation of the Sigma-1 receptor.

Authors:
Marina Shenkman Michal Geva Noga Gershoni-Emek Michael R Hayden Gerardo Z Lederkremer

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) is neuroprotective in models of neurodegenerative diseases, among them Huntington disease (HD). Recent clinical trials in HD patients and preclinical studies in cellular and mouse HD models suggest a therapeutic potential for the high-affinity S1R agonist pridopidine. However, the molecular mechanisms of the cytoprotective effect are unclear. Read More

ATG9A regulates proteostasis through reticulophagy receptors FAM134B and SEC62 and folding chaperones CALR and HSPB1.

Authors:
Brendan K Sheehan Nicola S Orefice Yajing Peng Samantha L Shapiro Luigi Puglielli

iScience 2021 Apr 16;24(4):102315. Epub 2021 Mar 16.

Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53705, USA.

The acetylation of ATG9A within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen regulates the induction of reticulophagy. ER acetylation is ensured by AT-1/SLC33A1, a membrane transporter that maintains the cytosol-to-ER flux of acetyl-CoA. Defective AT-1 activity, as caused by heterozygous/homozygous mutations and gene duplication events, results in severe disease phenotypes. Read More

Molecular chaperones play important roles in regulating various cellular processes and malignant transformation. Expression of some subunits of molecular chaperone CCT/TRiC complex have been reported to be correlated with cancer development and patient survival. However, little is known about the expression and prognostic significance of Chaperonin Containing TCP1 Subunit 2 (CCT2). Read More

It is known that insulin-degrading-enzyme (IDE) plays a crucial role in the clearance of Alzheimer's amyloid-β (Aβ). The cysteine-free IDE mutant (cf-E111Q-IDE) is catalytically inactive against insulin, but its effect on Aβ degradation is unknown that would help in the allosteric modulation of the enzyme activity. Herein, the degradation of Aβ(1-40) by cf-E111Q-IDE via a non-chaperone mechanism is demonstrated by NMR and LC-MS, and the aggregation of fragmented peptides is characterized using fluorescence and electron microscopy.
