Abstract excerpt
Hsp90 plays critical roles in the proper functioning of a wide array of eukaryotic signal transducers such as steroid receptors and tyrosine kinases. Hap1 is a naturally occurring substrate of Hsp90 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hap1 transcriptional activity is precisely and stringently controlled by heme. Previous biochemical studies suggest that in the absence of heme, Hap1 is bound to Hsp90 and other proteins,...
