  • Title: Heat stress-dependent DNA binding of Arabidopsis heat shock transcription factor HSF1 to heat shock gene promoters in Arabidopsis suspension culture cells in vivo.
    Author: Zhang L, Lohmann C, Prändl R, Schöffl F.
    Journal: Biol Chem; 2003 Jun; 384(6):959-63. PubMed ID: 12887064.
    Abstract:
    Using UV laser cross-linking and immunoprecipitation we measured the in vivo binding of Arabidopsis heat shock transcription factor HSF1 to the promoters of target genes, Hsp18.2 and Hsp70. The amplification of promoter sequences, co-precipitated with HSF1-specific antibodies, indicated that HSF1 is not bound in the absence of heat stress. Binding to promoter sequences of target genes is rapidly induced by heat stress, continues throughout the heat treatment, and declines during subsequent recovery at room temperature. The molecular mechanisms underlying the differences between Hsp18.2 and Hsp70 in the kinetics of HSF1/promoter binding and corresponding mRNA expression profiles are discussed.
