Abstract excerpt
The alpha-crystallin-related heat shock proteins are produced by all eukaryotes, but the role of these proteins in thermoprotection remains unclear. To investigate the function of one of these proteins, we disrupted expression of the single-copy hsp30 gene of Neurospora crassa, using repeat-induced point mutagenesis, and we generated and characterized mutant strains that were deficient in hsp30 synthesis. These...
