Abstract excerpt
Exposure of cells to elevated temperatures causes a rapid increase in the synthesis of heat shock proteins (hsps) and induces thermotolerance, the increased ability of cells to survive exposure to lethal temperatures; however, the connection between hsp induction and the acquisition of thermotolerance is unclear. hsp induction in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mediated by the activation of heat-shock...
