Abstract

The 90-kDa heat shock protein (HSP90) acts as a specific molecular chaperone in the folding and regulates a wide range of associated proteins such as steroid hormone receptors. It is known that HSP90 possesses two different chaperone sites, both in the N- and C-domains, and that the chaperone activity of HSP90 is blocked by binding of geldanamycin (GA) to the N-domain, the same as the ATP-binding site. Here we show that Cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II), CDDP], an antineoplastic agent, associates with HSP90 and reduces its chaperone activity. In order to analyse the binding proteins, bovine brain cytosols were applied to a CDDP-affinity column and binding proteins were eluted by CDDP. In the elutants, only 90-kDa protein bands were detected on SDS/PAGE, and the protein was cross-reacted with the anti-HSP90 antibody on immunoblotting. No protein bands were detected in the elutants from the control column on SDS/PAGE. These results indicated that CDDP has a high affinity for HSP90. On CD spectrum analysis, the binding of CDDP to HSP90 resulted in a conformational change in the protein. Although HSP90 inhibited the aggregation of citrate synthase as a molecular chaperone in vitro, the activity was suppressed almost completely in the presence of CDDP. Mg/ATP has an influence on the chaperone activity to some extent. The CDDP binding region of HSP90 is near the C-terminal which is quite different from the GA-binding site. Our results suggest that the chaperone activity of HSP90 may be inhibited by the binding of CDDP or GA by different mechanisms.
