Figure 3. Role of Hsp90 in chaperoning tumorigenesis.

Figure 3

(a) Hsp90 stabilizes many mutated proteins that mediate cell transformation and prevents the aggregation of aberrantly expressed proteins (blue), which would otherwise result in toxic stress signals leading to the progression of apoptosis. (b) The chaperoning capacity of Hsp90 facilitates the evolution of neoplastic clones.
