Functional analysis of a tannic-acid-inducible and hypoviral-regulated small heat-shock protein Hsp24 from the chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica.

Abstract excerpt

A small heat-shock protein gene, CpHsp24, of Cryphonectria parasitica was selected based on its expression pattern, which showed that it was tannic acid inducible and that its induction was severely hampered by a hypovirus. The predicted protein sequence of CpHsp24 consisted of a hallmark α-crystalline domain flanked by a variable N-terminal and a short C-terminal region. Disruption of CpHsp24 resulted in a slow...
