Transcripts from the Drosophila heat-shock gene hsr-omega influence rates of protein synthesis but hardly affect resistance to heat knockdown.

Abstract excerpt

While hundreds of genes have recently been implicated in an organism's response to thermal stress, our insight into the cellular and physiological mechanisms affected by these genes has advanced to a lesser extent. We focus on an enigmatic Drosophila heat stress RNA gene, hsr-omega, which encodes two RNA transcripts that are constitutively expressed in almost all developing and adult tissues, omega-n in the...
