prefoldin 2 Inhibitors

Prefoldin 2 Inhibitors are a class of chemicals that target Prefoldin 2, a molecular chaperone protein involved in protein folding and assembly processes within cells. These inhibitors can interfere with the function of Prefoldin 2, leading to the inhibition of its role in proper protein folding. Direct inhibitors of Prefoldin 2, such as geldanamycin and its derivatives (17-AAG and 17-DMAG, Hydrochloride Salt), target heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90), which is involved in the stabilization and folding of Prefoldin 2. These inhibitors bind to the ATP-binding site of Hsp90, disrupting its chaperone function and destabilizing Prefoldin 2. This results in the degradation of Prefoldin 2 and the subsequent inhibition of its activity. Indirect inhibitors of Prefoldin 2, such as quercetin, (-)-Epigallocatechin Gallate, apigenin, curcumin, and myricetin, interfere with the interaction between Prefoldin 2 and its client proteins. These inhibitors disrupt the binding between Prefoldin 2 and its substrates, preventing proper folding and assembly of the client proteins.

Another indirect inhibitor, radicicol, also targets Hsp90. It binds to Hsp90 and inhibits its chaperone function, leading to the destabilization of Prefoldin 2 and subsequent inhibition of its activity. Withaferin A and withanolide D, both indirect inhibitors, target the chaperone function of Hsp90. They bind to Hsp90 and disrupt its interaction with Prefoldin 2, resulting in the inhibition of Prefoldin 2-mediated protein folding. Celastrol, Celastrus scandens, another indirect inhibitor, disrupts the interaction between Hsp90 and Prefoldin 2, leading to the destabilization and degradation of Prefoldin 2, resulting in its inhibition. In summary, Prefoldin 2 Inhibitors are a diverse class of chemicals that can directly or indirectly inhibit the function of Prefoldin 2. These inhibitors target either Prefoldin 2 itself or the chaperone function of Hsp90, leading to the destabilization and degradation of Prefoldin 2 and the subsequent inhibition of its role in protein folding and assembly processes.
