High constitutive levels of heat-shock proteins in human-pathogenic parasites of the genus Leishmania
15 Aug 1995
Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the transcription of three heat-shock genes, HSP70, HSP83 and ClpB, in the protozoan parasite Leishmania. All three heat-shock genes are transcribed constitutively and not heat-inducibly. However, we find that two major heat-shock proteins, HSP70 and HSP83, are synthesized at elevated rates during heat stress. We conclude that the cellular stress response in Leishmaniae is regulated exclusively...
