Abstract excerpt
In murine cells, the heat shock response is regulated by a transcription factor, HSF1, which triggers the transcription of heat shock genes. HSF2 has been shown to be involved in meiosis and mouse brain development. We characterized the effects of the absence of HSF2 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The temperature threshold of the heat shock response appeared lowered in Hsf2(-/-) MEFS as monitored by the...
