Heat Shock Response Inhibition and Gene Expression in <em>Xenopus Laevis</em> Cultured Cells

Various genes have evolved to protect the cell against stressor-induced damage or death including the heat shock proteins (HSPs). Stressor-induced HSP gene expression involves the activation of heat shock factor (HSF), which binds to the heat shock element (HSE) found in the promoter region of <...
