Structure Details

HSP90 is a chaperone protein implicated in protein folding, stress response and protein degradation. The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum contains 4 HSP90 paralogs, including HSP90, TRAP1 and GRP94. We present herein the structure of the N-terminal domain of PfGRP94 with macbecin bound. We have also solved the structures of other parasite HSP90s bound with inhibitors, including PfGRP94 with thienopyrimidine (3PEH), Leishmania HSP90 with DMAP (3Q5J), Leishmania HSP90 with DDU101323 (3Q5K) and Leishmania HSP90 with AEP (3Q5L).
