The presence of a nucleotide binding site on hsp90 was very controversial until x-ray structure of the hsp90 N-terminal domain, showing a nonconventional nucleotide binding site, appeared. A recent study suggested that the hsp90 C-terminal domain also binds ATP (Marcu, M. G., Chadli, A., Bouhouche, L, Catelli, M. G., and Neckers, L. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 3718137186). In this paper, the interactions of ATP with native hsp90 and its recombinant N-terminal (positions 1-221) and C-terminal (positions 446-728) domains were studied by isothermal titration calorimetry, scanning differential calorimetry, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Results clearly demonstrate that hsp90 possesses a second ATP-binding site located on the C-terminal part of the protein. The association constant between this domain of hsp90 and ATP-Mg and a comparison with the binding constant on the full-length protein are reported for the first time. Secondary structure prediction revealed motifs compatible with a Rossmann fold in the C-terminal part of hsp90. It is proposed that this potential Rossmann fold may constitute the C-terminal ATP-binding site. This work also suggests allosteric interaction between N- and C-terminal domains of hsp90.
