Genome-wide transcriptional profiles during temperature and oxidative stress reveal coordinated expression patterns and overlapping regulons in rice. [PDF]
Genome wide transcriptional changes by cold stress, heat stress and oxidative stress in rice seedlings were analyzed. Heat stress resulted in predominant changes in transcripts of heat shock protein and heat shock transcription factor genes, as well as ...

Heat Shock Factor 1 Is a Transcription Factor of Fas Gene
In mammalian cells, stress-induced expression of heat shock protein is controlled by heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). However, HSF1 functions as a regulator of additional genes. In this study, we observed that heat treatment effectively induced expression of Fas.

An NMR Study on the clpC Operon Binding Region of Transcription Factor CtsR from Bacillus subtilis
When Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis responds to heat-shock, protein arginine kinase McsB phosphorylates Arg62 (R) in the clpC operon binding region of transcription factor CtsR, leading to dissociation of CtsR and clpC operon and initiation of

Role of Heat Shock Factors in Stress-Induced Transcription [PDF]
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are rapidly induced after stresses such as heat shock and accumulate at high concentrations in cells. HSP induction involves primarily a family of heat shock transcription factors (HSF) that bind the heat shock elements of the HSP genes and mediate transcription in trans.

The Role of Heat Shock Factors in Stress-Induced Transcription [PDF]
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are rapidly induced after stresses, such as heat shock, and accumulate at high concentrations in cells. HSP induction involves a family of heat shock transcription factors that bind the heat shock elements of the HSP genes and mediate transcription in trans. We discuss methods for the study of HSP binding to HSP promoters and

The Yeast and Mammalian Ras Pathways Control Transcription of Heat Shock Genes Independently of Heat Shock Transcription Factor [PDF]
Yeast strains in which the Ras-cyclic AMP (cAMP) pathway is constitutively active are sensitive to heat shock, whereas mutants in which the activity of this pathway is low are hyperresistant to heat shock. To determine the molecular basis for these differences, we examined the transcriptional induction of heat shock genes in various yeast strains ...

Direct Sensing of Heat and Oxidation by Drosophila Heat Shock Transcription Factor [PDF]
The heat shock transcription factor HSF activates expression of its target genes in response to elevated temperatures and chemical or physiological stress. A key step in the activation process involves the formation of HSF homotrimers, leading to high-affinity DNA binding.

Heat shock transcription factor activates transcription of the yeast metallothionein gene. [PDF]
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transcription of the metallothionein gene CUP1 is induced by copper and silver. Strains with a complete deletion of the ACE1 gene, the copper-dependent activator of CUP1 transcription, are hypersensitive to copper. These strains have a low but significant basal level of CUP1 transcription.
