Glucocorticoid receptors in the IM-9 human lymphoblastoid cell line were affinity labeled with [3H]dexamethasone 21-mesylate and activated to a DNA-binding form by filtration through a Bio-Gel A-1.5m column. The 90 kDa heat shock protein, HSP90, was identified by labeling IM-9 cells with 35S-methionine at both 37 degrees C and 42 degrees C and purified to near homogeneity by sequential chromatography through DE52 and hydroxyapatite. Addition of purified HSP90 to activated, affinity labeled glucocorticoid receptors in a molecular ratio of 16 to 1 inhibited the binding of the receptors to DNA-cellulose. HSP90 did not affect the binding of other proteins to DNA-cellulose, indicating that the inhibitory effect of HSP90 was specific for the glucocorticoid receptor. These results suggest that HSP90 may associate with the glucocorticoid receptor, masking its DNA-binding site and thereby inhibiting receptor interaction with DNA.

D008715 Methionine A sulfur-containing essential L-amino acid that is important in many body functions. L-Methionine,Liquimeth,Methionine, L-Isomer,Pedameth,L-Isomer Methionine,Methionine, L Isomer
D011965 Receptors, Glucocorticoid Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
