The hsp90 family of molecular chaperones was expanded recently due to the cloning of
TRAP1 and hsp75 by yeast two-hybrid screens. Careful analysis of the human TRAP1 and
hsp75 sequences revealed that they are identical, and we have cloned a similar protein from
Drosophila. Immunofluorescence data show that human TRAP1 is localized to mitochondria.
This mitochondrial localization is supported by the existence of mitochondrial localization
sequences in the amino termini of both the human andDrosophila proteins. Due to the …
