Uncoupling thermotolerance from the induction of heat shock proteins.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Dec 1991

Smith B J, Yaffe M P

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 thermotole...
