Heat Stress Promoters and Transcription Factors

  • Conference paper
Plant Promoters and Transcription Factors

Part of the book series: Results and Problems in Cell Differentiation ((RESULTS,volume 20))

Abstract

The initial description of heat stress (hs)-induced gene activity using polytene chromosomes of Drosophila salivary glands (Ritossa 1962) was followed 12 years later by the detection of the corresponding heat stress proteins (HSP) (Tissieres et al. 1974) and progress toward cloning the Drosophila hs genes (for summaries, see Ashburner and Bonner 1979; Schlesinger et al. 1982). The explosive development of molecular stress biology in the following decade extended the investigations to all types of living organisms. In all cases the heat stress (hs) response was found to comprise a highly complex but transient reprogramming of cellular activities necessary to protect cells from extensive damage and to provide optimum conditions for recovery after the stress period. Results have been summarized in many reviews and books (Lindquist and Craig 1988; Morimoto et al. 1990; Nover et al. 1990; Nover 1991; Vierling 1991; Gething and Sambrook 1992).
