    Schematic and linear representation of the domain structure and co-chaperone-binding sites of Hsp70 and Hsp90. The amino-acid residue numbers, domains and co-chaperone-binding sites are indicated. (A) Domain structure of human Hsp70. The C-terminal EEVD motif is characteristic for cytosolic Hsp70s and is involved in binding of TPR-domain-containing proteins. (B) Domain structure of human Hsp90α. The C-terminal MEEVD motif is involved in binding of TPR-domain-containing proteins. Binding sites of co-chaperones on Hsp90 are a composite of sites of interaction for mammalian and yeast Hsp90 [adapted from previous reports ( Chen and Smith, 1998; Grammatikakis et al., 1999; Young et al., 2001)].

    Fig. 2.

    A model for chaperone and co-chaperone interactions with Raf-1. Chaperones and co-chaperones play a role in the maturation, activation and inactivation of Raf-1. During maturation Cdc37 (37) and Hsp90 (90) bind to the regulatory and kinase domains of Raf-1 (in white) and keep it in an inactive conformation. Dissociation of Cdc37 and Hsp90 followed by association of Ras and/or Bag1 leads to a conformational change of Raf-1 that enables its activation. Sequestration of Bag1 by Hsp70 (70) and association of 14-3-3 leads to the inactivation of Raf-1. Raf-1 co-associating and regulatory proteins other than Ras, chaperones or co-chaperones are omitted from the model for the sake of simplicity (see text for details and References).

    Fig. 3.

    A model for chaperone and co-chaperone interactions with nuclear hormone receptors. Chaperones and co-chaperones play a role in the maturation and inactivation of nuclear hormone receptors. During maturation, Hsp70 (70) and Hsp(40) bind to the hormone-binding domain (HBD) of the receptor (in white), which is followed by the association of Hop and Hsp90 (90). Maturation of the aporeceptor complex is completed by dissociation of Hsp40, Hsp70 and Hop followed by association of p23 (23) and one of the immunophilins (I). Hormone binding and dissociation of Hsp90, p23 and the immunophilin changes the conformation of the receptor, which then translocates to the nucleus and activates transcription. Bag1 can associate with the activated receptor and inhibit the activities of the receptor for which it requires its Hsp70-binding domain. AD, activation domain; DB, DNA-binding domain (see text for References).

Despite the challenges of 2020, we were able to bring a number of long-term projects and new ventures to fruition. While we look forward to a new year, join us as we reflect on the triumphs of the last 12 months.


Mole – The Corona Files

"This is not going to go away, 'like a miracle.' We have to do magic. And I know we can."

Mole continues to offer his wise words to researchers on how to manage during the COVID-19 pandemic.


Cell scientist to watch – Christine Faulkner

In an interview, Christine Faulkner talks about where her interest in plant science began, how she found the transition between Australia and the UK, and shares her thoughts on virtual conferences.


Read & Publish participation extends worldwide

“The clear advantages are rapid and efficient exposure and easy access to my article around the world. I believe it is great to have this publishing option in fast-growing fields in biomedical research.”

Dr Jaceques Behmoaras (Imperial College London) shares his experience of publishing Open Access as part of our growing Read & Publish initiative. We now have over 60 institutions in 12 countries taking part – find out more and view our full list of participating institutions.
