The activation of molecular chaperone heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is dependent on ATP binding and hydrolysis,which occurs in the N-terminal domains of protein.Here,we have determined three crystal structures of the N-terminal domain of human Hsp90 in native and in complex with ATP and ATP analog,providing a clear view of the catalytic mechanism of ATP hydrolysis by Hsp90.Additionally,the binding of ATP leads the N-terminal domains to be an intermediate state that could be used to partially explain why the isolated N-terminal domain of Hsp90 has very weak ATP hydrolytic activity.
