Hsp90: From Cellular to Organismal Proteostasis

Cells. 2022 Aug 10;11(16):2479. doi: 10.3390/cells11162479.

Abstract

Assuring a healthy proteome is indispensable for survival and organismal health. Proteome disbalance and the loss of the proteostasis buffer are hallmarks of various diseases. The essential molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a regulator of the heat shock response via HSF1 and a stabilizer of a plethora of signaling proteins. In this review, we summarize the role of Hsp90 in the cellular and organismal regulation of proteome maintenance.

Keywords: Hsp90; aging; cancer; chaperones; development; neurodegenerative disease; obesity; proteostasis; stress.
