HSBP1 Proteins and Enzymes

The heat-shock response is elicited by exposure of cells to thermal and chemical stress and through the activation ofHSFs (heat shock factors) results in the elevated expression of heat-shock induced genes. Heat shock factor bindingprotein 1 (HSBP1), is a 76-amino-acid protein that binds to heat shock factor 1(HSF1), which is a transcription factorinvolved in the HS response. During HS response, HSF1 undergoes conformational transition from an inertnon-DNA-binding monomer to active functional ...
