The RPAP3-Cterminal domain identifies R2TP-like quaternary chaperones. Nat Commun. 2018 May 29;9(1):2093.
R2TP is an HSP90 co-chaperone that assembles important macro-molecular machineries. It is composed of an RPAP3-PIH1D1 heterodimer, which binds the two essential AAA+ATPases RUVBL1/RUVBL2. Native mass spectrometry allowed determination of RUVBL1/RUVBL2 oligomerization state with measured masses > 626 kDa for dodecamers. When its RPAP3 is bound, the equilibrium shifts towards hexamers able to bind up to 2 RPAP3 molecules per hexamer.
