Abstract

A variety of signaling proteins form heterocomplexes with and are regulated by the heat shock protein chaperone hsp90. These complexes are formed by a multiprotein machinery, including hsp90 and hsp70 as essential and abundant components and Hop, hsp40, and p23 as non-essential cochaperones that are present in much lower abundance in cells. Overexpression of signaling proteins can overwhelm the capacity of this machinery to properly assemble heterocomplexes with hsp90. Here, we show that the limiting component of this assembly machinery in vitro in reticulocyte lysate and in vivo in Sf9 cells is p23. Only a fraction of glucocorticoid receptors (GR) overexpressed in Sf9 cells are in heterocomplex with hsp90 and have steroid binding activity, with the majority of the receptors present as both insoluble and cytosolic GR aggregates. Coexpression of p23 with the GR increases the proportion of cytosolic receptors that are in stable GR.hsp90 heterocomplexes with steroid binding activity, a strictly hsp90-dependent activity for the GR. Coexpression of p23 eliminates the insoluble GR aggregates and shifts the cytosolic receptor from very large aggregates without steroid binding activity to approximately 600-kDa heterocomplexes with steroid binding activity. These data lead us to conclude that p23 acts in vivo to stabilize hsp90 binding to client protein.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • p23 marks steroid receptors in the apo state that are poised to bind hormone.

    “In this context, p23 is known to mark steroid receptors in the apo state that are poised to bind hormone (15).”

    From FKBP51 Promotes Assembly of the Hsp90 Chaperone Complex and Regulates Androgen Receptor Signaling in Prostate Cancer Cells (2010) · cites this paper as [15]

    The Coexpression of p23 section (page unavailable) says p23 binds and stabilizes glucocorticoid receptor–hsp90 complexes that can subsequently bind steroid. This supports a hormone-binding-ready state for that receptor, but the paper does not establish p23 as a marker of apo steroid receptors generally. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • p23 acts as a limiting component for assembly of the multicomponent Hsp90 superchaperone complex that stabilizes the LBD in a hormone-binding competent conformation.

    “p23 function is critical for steroid hormone receptors, as it has been shown to act as a limiting component for assembly of the multicomponent Hsp90 'superchaperone' complex that stabilizes the LBD in a conformation that is competent for hormone binding (15).”

    From FKBP51 Promotes Assembly of the Hsp90 Chaperone Complex and Regulates Androgen Receptor Signaling in Prostate Cancer Cells (2010) · cites this paper as [15]

    The Abstract and Coexpression of p23 section report that p23 limits formation of stable GR–Hsp90 complexes with steroid-binding activity. The experiments concern glucocorticoid receptors in Sf9 cells, rather than steroid hormone receptors generally; the paper also says p23 is not required to open the steroid-binding cleft, but stabilizes the resulting complex. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • p23 binds directly to the ATP form of Hsp90, and this stabilizes Hsp90-client protein interactions.

    “because the cochaperone p23 binds directly to the ATP form of Hsp90, and this stabilizes Hsp90-client protein interactions (1, 14, 15).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
