The cellular protection mechanism, the heat shock response, is only activated by classical heat shock 90 inhibitors (Hsp90) that “target” the N-terminus of the protein, but not by those that modulate the C-terminus.

The heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor, geldanamycin, is a chemical inducer of the heat shock response (HSR) in Arabidopsis. Geldanamycin is thought to activate the heat shock signal by dissociating the HSP90-heat shock factor (HSF) complex. Recent studies have indicated that plant HSP70 is also associated with HSF, suggesting that inhibition of HSP70 may induce the HSR. However, no studies have been conducted to test this hypothesis. Here, we found that a specific HSP70 inhibitor VER-155008 activated the promoter of a small HSP gene (At1 g53540, HSP17.6C-CI) of Arabidopsis, which was shown to be activated by geldanamycin and other HSP90 inhibitors. The production of HSP17.6C-CI, HSP70 and HSP90.1 proteins in Arabidopsis was enhanced by the addition of VER-155008. The reduction of chlorophyll contents by heat shock was ameliorated by VER-155008. Chaperone analyses indicated that VER-155008 inhibited the chaperone activities of wheat germ extract and human HSP70/HSP40, respectively. These results suggest that the inhibition of HSP70 by VER-155008 enhanced the heat tolerance of Arabidopsis by inducing the HSR in the plant.

C-terminal inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) modulate the C-terminus and do not elicit a heat shock response.

The differentiation of Leishmania parasites from the insect stage, the promastigote, toward the pathogenic mammalian stage, the amastigote, is triggered primarily by the rise in ambient temperature encountered during the insect-to-mammal transmission. We show here that inactivation of heat shock protein (Hsp) 90, with the use of the drugs geldanamycin or radicicol, mimics transmission and induces the differentiation from the promastigote to the amastigote stage. Geldanamycin also induces a growth arrest of cultured promastigotes that can be forestalled by overexpression of the cytoplasmic Hsp90. Moreover, we demonstrate that Hsp90 serves as a feedback inhibitor of the cellular heat shock response inLeishmania. Our results are consistent with Hsp90 homeostasis serving as cellular thermometer for these primitive eukaryotes, controlling both the heat shock response and morphological differentiation.
