A rabbit reticulocyte lysate system that has been used to reconstitute functional complexes between steroid receptors and the 90-kDa heat shock protein (hsp90) has been used here to form complexes between the pp60src tyrosine kinase and hsp90. Reticulocyte lysate forms complexes between hsp90 and a temperature-sensitive mutant of Rous sarcoma ...

virus pp60v-src, which is normally present in cytosol virtually entirely in the multiprotein complex form. In addition, hsp90 in the lysate complexes with wild-type pp60v-src, of which only a small portion is normally recovered in cytosol in the native multiprotein complex, and with the cellular homolog, pp60c-src, which has never been recovered in cytosol in the form of a native multiprotein complex with hsp90. Moreover, the reticulocyte lysate-reconstituted complex also contains the 50-kDa phosphoprotein component of the native pp60v-src multiprotein complex. The native and reconstituted pp60src-hsp90 complexes have similar thermal stability and, like steroid receptor heterocomplexes, they are stabilized by molybdate. As previously shown with reticulocyte lysate-reconstituted steroid receptor heteroprotein complexes, the reconstituted pp60src multiprotein complex contains hsp70, which is a major candidate for providing the protein unfoldase activity required for hsp90 association.
