LE 4: Transcriptoinal control of gene expression III - Heat shock response

3 important questions on LE 4: Transcriptoinal control of gene expression III - Heat shock response

What kind of process is the heat shock response?

Regulatory feedback loop

How does the heat shock response work? (5 steps)

1. Heat shock proteins engage in chaperoning other proteins
2. HSF1 is released and trimerizes
3. HSF1 is transported into the nucleus
4. HSF1 is hyperphosphorylated
5. HSF1 bind the promoter of heat shock genes

Where is pausing of Pol II found?

In developmentally regulated genes and house-keeping genes
