Abstract

The Hsp90 chaperone system catalyses the final activation step of many important eukaryotic regulatory proteins. This project seeks to apply newly-developed proteomic techniques, based on the yeast two hybrid system, to the identification of protein-protein interactions within the several multiprotein complexes that involve Hsp90. We will determine if these procedures can be used to identify unknown targets of Hsp90; also to reveal to Hsp90 interacts with domains of the different cochaperone proteins that assist its chaperone function. These cochaperones include several proteins that contain tetratricopeptide (TPR) repeat motifs.
