RPAP3 provides a flexible scaffold for coupling HSP90 to the human R2TP co-chaperone complex

The R2TP/PFDL co-chaperone facilitates assembly of RNA polymerase II and PI3-kinase-like kinases such as mTOR by a so far unknown mechanism. Here authors provide the cryo-EM structure of human R2TP, which shows how RPAP3 serves as a flexible platform to recruit HSP90 to diverse client proteins.
