Molecular mechanisms of heat shock proteins in distinct diseases [PDF]
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) modulate the molecular mechanics of cells and cellular systems. Properly folded proteins are required for cellular processes and organisms use molecular mechanics to keep substrate proteins in their native state.

Small heat shock protein Hsp27 is required for proper heart tube formation [PDF]
AbstractThe small heat shock protein Hsp27 has been shown to be involved in a diverse array of cellular processes, including cellular stress response, protein chaperone activity, regulation of cellular glutathione levels, apoptotic signaling, and regulation of actin polymerization and stability.

Heat-shock protein 27 (Hsp27) as a target of methylglyoxal in gastrointestinal cancer
The molecular mechanisms underlying the posttranslational modification of proteins in gastrointestinal cancer are still unknown. Here, we investigated the role of methylglyoxal modifications in gastrointestinal tumors. Methylglyoxal is a reactive dicarbonyl compound produced from cellular glycolytic intermediates that reacts non-enzymatically with ...

HSPB1 Enhances SIRT2-Mediated G6PD Activation and Promotes Glioma Cell Proliferation. [PDF]
Heat shock proteins belong to a conserved protein family and are involved in multiple cellular processes. Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), also known as heat HSPB1, participates in cellular responses to not only heat shock, but also oxidative or chemical ...

Comparison of heat-shock responses between the hydrothermal vent shrimp Rimicaris exoculata and the related coastal shrimp Palaemonetes varians [PDF]
The deep-sea vent shrimp Rimicaris exoculata is believed to occur at the hot end of the hydrothermal biotope in order to provide essential elements to its epibiosis. Because it is found close to hot venting water, R.
