Summary

CDC37 (cell division cycle 37, HSP90 cochaperone, HGNC:1735) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.2, encoding Hsp90 co-chaperone Cdc37 (Q16543). Co-chaperone that binds to numerous kinases and promotes their interaction with the Hsp90 complex, resulting in stabilization and promotion of their activity. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 97.1% of cancer cell lines).

The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Cdc 37, a cell division cycle control protein of Sacchromyces cerevisiae. This protein is a molecular chaperone with specific function in cell signal transduction. It has been shown to form complex with Hsp90 and a variety of protein kinases including CDK4, CDK6, SRC, RAF-1, MOK, as well as eIF2 alpha kinases. It is thought to play a critical role in directing Hsp90 to its target kinases.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 174 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
