“…The induced expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is a common response mechanism to various stresses, including oxidative (Amadio et al, ), ischemic (Kraynik et al, ), and thermal (Daugaard, Rohde, & Jäättelä, ) stress. The induction of these genes is tightly regulated, involving both transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation (Daugaard et al, ; H. Liu, Xu, Cui, Hou, & Zhang, ; Morimoto, ). The most prominent member of the HSP family, HSP70, is tightly regulated and has many protein isoforms encoded by separate gene loci which have distinct regulatory characteristics allowing them to help cells respond to various types of assaults (Daugaard et al, ; Tranter et al, ).…”
