Abstract excerpt
The 70-kDa heat shock proteins, hsp70, are highly conserved among both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and function as chaperones in diverse cellular processes. To elucidate the function of the yeast cytosolic hsp70 Ssa1p in vivo, we characterized a Saccharomyces cerevisiae ssa1 temperature-sensitive mutant (ssa1-134). After shifting to the restrictive temperature (37 degreesC), ssa1-134 mutant cells showed abnormal...
