Abstract: | Constitutive expression of HSP90 in normal cells is required for its evolutionarily conserved housekeeping function of folding and translocating cellular proteins to their proper cellular compartment. Under the stress of malignant transformation, cellular proteins and networks become perturbed requiring specific maintenance by a stress-modified HSP90. We here detail the many functions this oncogenic HSP90 takes on in cancer cells and discuss how the addiction of cancer-altered networks on HSP90 can be harvested therapeutically by small mol- ecule HSP90 inhibitors. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013.
