Abstract

Organisms respond to sudden increases in temperature by synthesizing a small set of proteins called the heat-shock proteins (hsps) (See Figure 1 ) . This heat-shock response has been highly conserved throughout evolution, not only as a physiological phenomenon, but also at the level of the individual proteins . Hsps comprise some of the most highly conserved protein families known. The level of amino-acid identity between all prokaryotic and eukaryotic hsp70 proteins, for example, approaches 50% (95). Hsp families often include constitutive as well as heat-inducible C �c:P HS C Q'� HS -hspl00 - hIp9O - -� hsp70 Figure 1 Induction o f heat-shock proteins.
