Abstract excerpt
Hsp90 is a ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone that folds, stabilizes, and functionally regulates many cellular proteins. The benzoquinone ansamysin 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) is an anticancer drug that disrupts Hsp90 binding to its clients, causing their degradation through the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal pathway. The protein kinase B-RAF is mutated in approximately 7% of human...
