roles in tumor growth by stabilizing pro-survival client proteins. However, although the
development of Hsp90 inhibitors has benefited from the identification of clients, such as Raf-
1 proto-oncogene, Ser/Thr kinase (RAF1), that are particularly dependent on this chaperone,
no equivalent clients for Hsp70 have been reported. Using chemical probes and MDA-MB-
231 breast cancer cells, we found here that the inhibitors of apoptosis proteins, including c …
