Functional Description ? help Back to Top
Source Description
TAIRencodes a protein whose sequence is similar to heat shock factors that regulate the expression of heat shock proteins. Transcript level is increased in response to heat shock. However, overexpression of this gene did not result in the increase of decrease of heat shock proteins.
UniProtTranscriptional regulator that specifically binds DNA sequence 5'-AGAAnnTTCT-3' known as heat shock promoter elements (HSE).

  1. Data suggest that HsfB1 and HsfB2b may be involved in complex regulatory networks, which are linked to other stress responses and signaling processes.
    [PMID: 19945192]
  2. These data indicate that HsfB1 and HsfB2b suppress the general heat shock response under non-heat-stress conditions and in the attenuating period.

  4. HsfB1 is required for the primed expression of defense-related genes.
    [PMID: 22427343]
  5. HsfB1 has a post-transcriptional control mechanism, in which a sequence-conserved upstream open-reading frame (sc-uORF) is involved.
