Disruption of Heat Shock Factor 1 Reveals an Essential Role in the Ubiquitin Proteolytic Pathway
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of proteasome-mediated protein degradation machinery is a potent stress stimulus that causes accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins and increased expression of heat shock proteins (Hsps). Hsps play pivotal roles in homeostasis and protection in a cell, through their well-recognized properties as molecular chaperones. The inducible Hsp expression is regulated by the heat shock transcription factors...
