Rvb1 and Rvb2 are essential AAA(+) (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) helicases, which are important components of critical complexes such as chromatin remodeling and telomerase complexes. The oligomeric state of the Rvb proteins has been controversial. Independent studies from several groups have described the yeast and human Rvb1/Rvb2 complex both as a single and as a double hexameric ring complex. We found that histidine-tagged constructs of yeast Rvb proteins employed in some of these studies induced the assembly of double hexameric ring Rvb1/Rvb2 complexes. Instead, untagged versions of these proteins assemble into single hexameric rings. Furthermore, purified endogenous untagged Rvb1/Rvb2 complexes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were also found as single hexameric rings, similar to the complexes assembled in vitro from the purified untagged components. These results demonstrate that some of the differences between the reported structures are caused by histidine tags and imply that further studies on the purified proteins should be carried out using untagged constructs.

The heterotrimeric Tel2-Tti1-Tti2 or TTT complex is essential for cell viability and highly observed in eukaryotes. As the co-chaperone of ATR, ATM, DNA-PKcs, mTOR, SMG1, and TRRAP, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKKs) and a group of large proteins of 300-500 kDa, the TTT plays crucial roles in genome stability, cell proliferation, telomere maintenance, and aging. Most of the protein kinases in the kinome are targeted by co-chaperone Cdc37 for proper folding and stability.

ATPases belonging to the AAA+ superfamily are associated with diverse cellular activities and are mainly characterized by a nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) containing the Walker A and Walker B motifs. AAA+ proteins have a range of functions, from DNA replication to protein degradation. Rvbs, also known as RUVBLs, are AAA+ ATPases with one NBD domain and were described from human to yeast as participants of the R2TP (Rvb1-Rvb2-Tah1-Pih1) complex.

The Rvb1-Rvb2-Tah1-Pih1 (R2TP) complex is a co-chaperone complex that works together with HSP90 in the activation and assembly of several macromolecular complexes, including RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and complexes of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-like family of kinases (PIKKs), such as mTORC1 and ATR/ATRIP. R2TP is made of four subunits: RuvB-like protein 1 (RUVBL1) and RuvB-like 2 (RUVBL2) AAA-type ATPases, RNA polymerase II-associated protein 3 (RPAP3), and the Protein interacting with Hsp90 1 (PIH1) domain-containing protein 1 (PIH1D1). R2TP associates with other proteins as part of a complex co-chaperone machinery involved in the assembly and maturation of a growing list of macromolecular complexes.

Hsp90 is a conserved molecular chaperone that assists in the folding and function of diverse cellular regulators, with a profound impact on biology, disease, and evolution. As a central hub of protein interaction networks, Hsp90 engages with hundreds of protein-protein interactions within eukaryotic cells. These interactions include client proteins, which physically interact with Hsp90 and depend on the chaperone for stability or function, as well as co-chaperones and partner proteins that modulate chaperone function.

In the eukaryotic nucleus, DNA is packaged in the form of nucleosomes, each of which comprises about 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone protein octamer. The position and histone composition of nucleosomes is governed by ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers such as the 15-subunit INO80 complex . INO80 regulates gene expression, DNA repair and replication by sliding nucleosomes, the exchange of histone H2A.
