The isoforms of the molecular chaperone Hsp90 from S. cerevisiae differ in structure, function and client range

ABSTRACT: The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is an important regulator of proteostasis. It has remained unclear why S. cerevisiae possesses two Hsp90 isoforms, the constitutively expressed Hsc82 and the stress-inducible Hsp82. Here, we report distinct differences despite a sequence identity of 97 %. Consistent with its function under stress conditions, Hsp82 is more stable and refolds more efficiently than Hsc82. Hspc82 and Hsc82 also differ in their ATPases and conformational cycles. Hsc82 is more processive and populates closed states to a greater extent. Variations in the N-terminal ATP-binding domain modulate its dynamics and conformational cycle. Despite these differences, the client interactomes, are largely identical, but isoform-specific interactors exist both under physiological conditions and heat shock. Taken together, changes mainly in the N-domain create a stress-specific, more resilient protein with a shifted activity profile. Thus, the precise tuning of the Hsp90 isoforms preserves the basic mechanism but adapts it to specific needs
