Research News and Information

Definition of 'Heat-Shock Proteins'

Proteins which are synthesized in eukaryotic organisms and bacteria in response to hyperthermia and other environmental stresses. They increase thermal tolerance and perform functions essential to cell survival under these conditions.

Common names: Heat-Shock Proteins; Heat Shock Proteins; Proteins, Heat-Shock; Stress Proteins; Proteins, Stress; Heat-Shock Protein; Heat Shock Protein; Protein, Heat-Shock; Stress Protein 71; Protein 71, Stress; Stress Protein 34; Protein 34, Stress; Heat-Shock Protein Chlamydomonas

Subtilase cytotoxin cleaves newly synthesized BiP and blocks antibody secretion in B lymphocytes.

4 Oct 2009 Shiga-toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) use subtilase cytotoxin (SubAB) to interfere with adaptive immunity. Its inhibition of immunoglobulin secretion is both rapid and profound. SubAB favors cleavage of the newly synthesized immunoglobulin heavy ... Read more...


The outermost N-terminal region of tapasin facilitates folding of major histocompatibility complex class I.

29 Sep 2009 Tapasin (Tpn) is an ER chaperone that is uniquely dedicated to MHC-I biosynthesis. It binds MHC-I molecules, integrates them into peptide-loading complexes, and exerts quality control of the bound peptides; only when an "optimal peptide" is bound ... Read more...


The determinant of potyvirus ability to overcome the RTM resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana maps to the N-terminal region of the coat protein.

29 Sep 2009 In Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia (Col-0) plants, the restriction of Tobacco etch virus (TEV) long-distance movement involves at least three dominant RTM (restricted TEV movement) genes named RTM1, RTM2, and RTM3. Previous work has established that, ... Read more...
