Heat Shock Transcription Factors: Structure and Regulation

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1995
Organisms respond to elevated temperatures and to chemical and physiological stresses by an increase in the synthesis of heat shock proteins. The regulation of heat shock gene expression in eukaryotes is mediated by the conserved heat shock transcription factor (HSF).

Roles of the heat shock transcription factors in regulation of the heat shock response and beyond

The FASEB Journal, 2001
ABSTRACT The heat shock response, characterized by increased expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps) is induced by exposure of cells and tissues to extreme conditions that cause acute or chronic stress. Hsps function as molecular chaperones in regulating cellular homeostasis and promoting survival.

Purification of heat shock transcription factor of Drosophila

1996
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the purification of heat-shock transcription factor of Drosophila. All living organisms respond to elevated temperatures, and to a variety of chemical and physiological stresses by a rapid and transient increase in the synthesis of heat-shock proteins.

Role of Heat Shock Transcriptional Factor 1 and Heat Shock Proteins in Cardiac Hypertrophy

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
Cardiac hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Initially, cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to increased wall stress, but sustained stress leads to heart failure. It remains unclear how the transition from adaptive cardiac hypertrophy to maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy occurs.

Activation of heat-shock transcription factor in rat heart after heat shock and exercise

American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 1995
Stress-induced transcriptional regulation of the heat-shock proteins (HSP) is mediated by activation and binding of the heat-shock transcription factors (HSF) to the heat-shock element (HSE). Given the similarities between the stressors known to activate the HSF in cultured cells and the physiological stresses known to occur during exercise, HSF ...

The Transcriptional regulation of heat shock genes: A plethora of heat shock factors and regulatory conditions

1996
The inducible regulation of heat shock gene transcription is mediated by a family of heat shock factors (HSF) that respond to diverse forms of physiological and environmental stress including elevated temperature, amino acid analogs, heavy metals, oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory drugs, arachidonic acid, and a number of pathophysiological disease ...

Regulatory domain of human heat shock transcription Factor-2 is not regulated by hemin or heat shock

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 1999
Heat shock transcription factor 2 (HSF-2) activates transcription of heat shock proteins in response to hemin in the human erythroleukemia cell line, K562. To understand the regulation of HSF-2 activation, a series of deletion mutants of HSF-2 fused to the GAL-4 DNA binding domain were generated.
