Abstract excerpt
The heat shock transcription factor (HSF) is a key regulator of the heat shock response. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transcription activating ability of Hsf1 is repressed by its DNA-binding domain, but the detailed mechanism by which the inhibitory function is relieved in response to stress remains unknown. In this study, we isolated and characterized three hsf1 mutants with temperature-sensitive mutations...
