Our Favorite Gene
HSF1/YGL073W
Summary
HSF1/YGL073W is a gene that encodes for a transcription factor that regulates the cell’s response to stress. It is best studied for its response to high temperature. During high temperature stress, the gene allows for the transcription of the proteins that protect the cell from heat shock effects, such as denaturation of proteins or excess cell replication. The HSF1 protein also helps regulate transcription for the maintenance of cell wall structure, folding of proteins, and detoxification of cell impurifications. It does not induce transcription in unstressed cells, and it is located within the nucleus of the cell.
