The Hsp90 chaperone machinery is a complex system to regulate the conformation and folding of proteins in the eukaryotic cell. Together with co-chaperones, Hsp90 has a central role in the maturation and activation of proteins. In the context of modulating the Hsp90 system for therapeutic intervention, a FRET-based screen of a compound library identified six novel modulators that specifically target the interaction between Hsp90 and the co-chaperone Aha1. These compounds were characterised for their modulation profile in vitro and in vivo.
