Phosphorylation of the yeast heat shock transcription factor is implicated in gene-specific activation dependent on the architecture of the heat shock element.

Abstract excerpt

Heat shock transcription factor (HSF) binds to the heat shock element (HSE) and regulates transcription, where the divergence of HSE architecture provides gene- and stress-specific responses. The phosphorylation state of HSF, regulated by stress, is involved in the activation and inactivation of the transcription activation function. A domain designated as CTM (C-terminal modulator) of the Saccharomyces...
