Figure 7. Implications of the Structure for Relief of Autoinibition of Ppp5
Structures of the Hsp90 peptide bound TPR domains from Ppp5-TPR and Hop-TPR2A are superimposed on the structure of the autoinhibited form of Ppp5. The probable directions of continuation of the Hsp90 polypeptide chain are indicated by the dashed lines. A model based on the Hop structure suggested direct displacement of the αJ helix, which forms part of the autoinhibitory interface. The actual structure of the Ppp5-TPR/peptide complex suggests that such competition does not occur, and that displacement of α7 of the domain as a result of ligand binding instead disrupts the αJ interaction.
