DnaJC4 Inhibitors

Geldanamycin is an Hsp90 inhibitor that binds to the ATP-binding site of Hsp90, inhibiting its chaperone activity. DnaJC4 is a co-chaperone that requires Hsp90 for proper folding and stabilization of client proteins. Inhibition of Hsp90 by geldanamycin therefore leads to the destabilization of DnaJC4 client proteins, indirectly inhibiting DnaJC4's co-chaperoning function.

17-AAG, another Hsp90 inhibitor, also binds to the N-terminal ATP-binding site of Hsp90, thus inhibiting its function. By disrupting the Hsp90 chaperone cycle, 17-AAG causes the degradation of client proteins that DnaJC4 is supposed to co-chaperone, leading to an indirect inhibition of DnaJC4's activity.

Radicicol is a potent Hsp90 inhibitor that binds to the ATP-binding pocket of Hsp90. By inhibiting Hsp90, radicicol impedes the maturation of client proteins and, consequently, hinders DnaJC4's ability to assist in the correct folding and stabilization of these proteins.

Novobiocin is a coumarin antibiotic that also inhibits the C-terminal domain of Hsp90, affecting its chaperone function. As DnaJC4 relies on Hsp90's activity to exert its co-chaperoning effects, the inhibition of Hsp90 by novobiocin indirectly reduces DnaJC4's functional activity.

Silibinin is known to inhibit Hsp90, leading to the degradation of several of its client proteins. The destabilization of these client proteins by silibinin indirectly decreases the functional activity of DnaJC4, as it functions in concert with Hsp90.

Onalespib is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of Hsp90, limiting its chaperone activity. DnaJC4, being a co-chaperone, is affected by the inhibited state of Hsp90, resulting in a decreased ability to stabilize and fold client proteins.

Luminespib is an Hsp90 inhibitor that compromises the chaperone's ATPase activity, leading to the degradation of its client proteins. Since DnaJC4 operates alongside Hsp90, its co-chaperoning function is indirectly inhibited when Hsp90's activity is compromised by luminespib.

BIIB021 is an orally bioavailable Hsp90 inhibitor. It binds competitively to the N-terminal ATP-binding domain of Hsp90, inhibiting its activity. This inhibition disrupts the chaperoning pathway, indirectly inhibiting the co-chaperone activity of DnaJC4.

Ganetespib is a potent Hsp90 inhibitor that interferes with its ATP-binding domain, leading to the degradation of client proteins. This degradation indirectly hinders DnaJC4's co-chaperone function by reducing the stability and proper folding of proteins it assists.

Debio 0932 is a non-quinone ansamycin that inhibits Hsp90, affecting the stability and function of its client proteins. This results in a decreased ability of DnaJC4 to perform its co-chaperone role, as its function is tightly linked to the proper operation of the Hsp90 complex.
