Robust Heat Shock Response in Chlamydia Lacking a Typical Heat Shock Sigma Factor
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Cells reprogram their transcriptome in response to stress, such as heat shock. In free-living bacteria, the transcriptomic reprogramming is mediated by increased DNA-binding activity of heat shock sigma factors and activation of genes normally repressed ...

The SIRT1 modulators AROS and DBC1 regulate HSF1 activity and the heat shock response. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The heat shock response, the cellular response to protein damaging stress, is critical in maintaining proteostasis. The heat shock response is regulated by the transcription factor HSF1, which is activated upon heat shock and other stresses to induce the
