Hsp90 is a ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperone that folds, stabilizes, and functionally regulates many cellular proteins. The benzoquinone ansamysin 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) is an anticancer drug that disrupts Hsp90 binding to its clients, causing their degradation through the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal pathway. The protein kinase B-RAF is mutated in ~7% of human cancers. The most common mutation (~90%) is V600EB-RAF, which has constitutively elevated kinase activity, stimulates cancer cell proliferation, and promotes survival. Here, we show that V600EB-RAF is an Hsp90 client protein that requires Hsp90 for its folding and stability. V600EBRAF is more sensitive to degradation by 17-AAG treatment than WTB-RAF and we show that the majority of the other mutant forms of B-RAF are also sensitive to 17-AAG–mediated proteasomal degradation. Our data show that B-RAF is an important target for 17-AAG in human cancer.
