Abstract: Abstract Hsp90 is an essential eukaryotic chaperone that regulates the activity of many client proteins. Current models of Hsp90 function, which include many conformational rearrangements, specify a requirement of ATP hydrolysis. Here we confirm earlier findings that the Hsp82-E33A mutant, which binds ATP but does not hydrolyze it, supports viability of S. cerevisiae, although it displays conditional phenotypes. We find binding of ATP to Hsp82-E33A induces the conformational dynamics needed for Hsp90 function. Hsp90 orthologs with the analogous EA mutation from several eukaryotic species, including humans and disease organisms, support viability of both S. cerevisiae and Sz. pombe. We identify second-site suppressors of EA that rescue its conditional defects and allow EA versions of all Hsp90 orthologs tested to support nearly normal growth of both organisms, without restoring ATP hydrolysis. Thus, the requirement of ATP for Hsp90 to maintain viability of evolutionarily distant eukaryotic organisms does not appear to depend on energy from ATP hydrolysis. Our findings support earlier suggestions that exchange of ATP for ADP is critical for Hsp90 function. ATP hydrolysis is not necessary for this exchange but provides an important control point in the cycle responsive to regulation by co-chaperones.
