Glucose-regulated protein 94, also known as Grp94 or gp96, is an abundant resident endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumenal stress protein which belongs to the Hsp90 family of molecular chaperones.
Grp94 possesses the COOH-terminal tetrapeptide Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL), a sorting signal thought to lead to the retention of proteins in the pre-Golgi compartments (1).
Grp94 expression is upregulated by stress conditions which promote protein misfolding or unfolding (2).
In addition to a homeostatic role in protein folding and assembly, Grp94 can function in the intracellular trafficking of peptides (3,4).
Grp94 and Hsp90 share high sequence identity and presumably identical adenosine nucleotide-dependent modes of regulation.
Hsp90 and Grp94 may differ in their nucleotide binding properties.
The N-terminal domain of eukaryotic Hsp90 proteins contains a conserved adenosine nucleotide binding pocket which also serves as the binding site for the Hsp90 inhibitors geldanamycin and radicicol.
.
Recent data has identified a ligand dependent regulation of Grp94 function and suggest a model whereby Grp94 function is regulated through a ligand-dependent conversion of Grp94 from an inactive to an active conformation (5, 6).
