Celastrol, a proteasome inhibitor, can induce the expression of heat shock protein genes in Xenopus cultured cells
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-25)Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are stress-inducible and evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperones that are involved in protein binding and translocation. As molecular chaperones, HSPs bind to denatured proteins, inhibit ... -
Characterization of the expression and function of <em>Rana catesbeiana</em> HSP30 and <em>Xenopus laevis</em> HSP27
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Exposure of cells to environmental or chemical stressors will initiate the heat shock response, which is mediated by heat shock proteins. Heat shock proteins are molecular chaperones which are classified by size into six ...
