The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is abundant, ubiquitous, and catholic to biological processes in eukaryotes, controlling phosphorylation cascades, protein stability and turnover, client localization and trafficking, and ligand-receptor interactions. Not surprisingly, Hsp90 does not accomplish these activities alone. Instead, an ever-growing number of cochaperones have been identified, leading to an explosion of reports on their molecular and cellular effects on Hsp90 chaperoning of client substrates. Notable among these clients are many members of the steroid receptor family, such as glucocorticoid, androgen, estrogen and progesterone receptors. Cochaperones typically associated with the mature, hormone-competent states of these receptors include p23, the FK506-binding protein 52 (FKBP52), FKBP51, protein phosphatase 5 (PP5) and cyclophilin 40 (Cyp40). The ultimate relevance of these cochaperones to steroid receptor action depends on their physiological effects. In recent years, the first mouse genetic models of these cochaperones have been developed. This work will review the complex and intriguing phenotypes so far obtained in genetically-altered mice and compare them to the known molecular and cellular impacts of cochaperones on steroid receptors.
