FKBP51-Hsp90 Interaction-Deficient Mice Exhibit Altered Endocrine Stress Response and Sex Differences Under High-Fat Diet.

ABSTRACT: FK506-binding protein 51 kDa (FKBP51), encoded by Fkbp5 gene, gained considerable attention as an important regulator of several aspects of human biology including stress response, metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, and age-dependent neurodegeneration. Its catalytic peptidyl-prolyl isomerase (PPIase) activity is mediated by the N-terminal FK506-binding (FK1) domain, whereas the C-terminal tetratricopeptide motif (TPR) domain is responsible for FKBP51 interaction with molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). To understand FKBP51-related biology, several mouse models have been created. These include Fkbp5 complete and conditional knockouts, overexpression, and humanized models. To dissect the role of FKBP51-Hsp90 interaction in FKBP51 biology, we have created an interaction-defic
