Exposure of cells to stressful conditions elicits a highly conserved defense mechanism
termed the heat shock response, resulting in the production of specialized proteins which …

This book focuses on heat shock response-an active yet transient reprogramming of cellular
activities to the needs of a stress protection mechanism designed to minimize heat damage …

The 93D puff of Drosophila melanogaster became attractive in 1970 because of its singular
inducibility by benzamide and has since then remained a major point of focus in my …

The nucleus limited long-noncoding hsrω-n transcripts, hnRNPs, and some other RNA
processing proteins organize nucleoplasmic omega speckles in Drosophila. Unlike other …

Publisher Summary The interphase polytene chromosome is morphologically differentiated
into tightly compacted (the chromomeric) and decompacted (the interchomomeric) regions …

The heat shock protein HSP90, which is mainly cytoplasmic, has recently been reported to
be present in the nucleus. We have found a specific chromosomal localization of HSP90 in …

The Drosophila melanogaster heat shock locus at 93D encodes at least three overlapping
transcripts, 10-12 kilobases (kb), 1.9 kb, and 1.2 kb. The abundance of the three transcripts …

Cytological studies have shown that the heat shock loci 93D of Drosophila melanogaster
and 2-48B of Drosophila hydei have several characteristics which suggest that they are …

Although a major site of transcription in heat shock, the Drosophila hsr omega gene does
not encode any known heat shock proteins. Instead, studies of the hsr omega transcripts …

The Drosophila hsr omega locus produces one of the largest and most active heat shock
puffs, yet it does not encode a heat shock protein. Instead, this locus produces a distinctive …
