Abstract excerpt
Thermal insult at 50 degrees C causes protein denaturation in yeast, but the cells survive if preconditioned at 37 degrees C. Survival depends on refolding of heat-denatured proteins. Refolding of cytoplasmic proteins requires Hsp104, the expression of which increases several-fold upon shift of the cells from physiological temperature 24 degrees C to 37 degrees C. We describe here a novel type of regulation of...
