2 unusual facts about Heat shock protein


Heat shock protein

In 1962, Italian geneticist Ferruccio Ritossa reported that heat and the metabolic uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol induced a characteristic pattern of puffing in the chromosomes of Drosophila.

Mir-711 microRNA precursor family

miR-711 has been found to target and suppress Heat Shock Protein 70.3 in vitro at a post-transcriptional level via its 3' untranslated region.


Mir-632 microRNA precursor family

miR-632 targets the coding region of the DNAJB6 protein, a member of the Heat Shock Protein 40 (HSP40) family which shows constitutive expression.
