Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved for instance in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co-chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Rat Heat shock protein HSP 90-alpha
Homodimer. Interacts with AHSA1, FNIP1, HSF1, SMYD3 and TOM34. Interacts with TERT; the interaction, together with PTGES3, is required for correct assembly and stabilization of the TERT holoenzyme complex. Interacts with CHORDC1 and DNAJC7. Interacts with STUB1 and UBE2N; may couple the chaperone and ubiquitination systems.
