Background

Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) is a 75-80 kDa constitutively expressed protein that functions as a transcriptional regulator under heat shock conditions. Heat stress induces the serine hyperphosphorylation, sumoylation, trimerization, and translocation of HSF1 to the nucleus. Nuclear HSF1 binds to heat shock elements (HSE) and promotes the transcription of genes important in cell protection from heat stress. Mouse HSF1 contains a DNA binding domain (aa 16-120), two hydrophobic oligomerization motifs (aa 137-212 and aa 378-407), a regulatory domain (aa 221-310), and a transactivation domain (aa 367-525). Alternate splicing of mouse HSF1 generates a short isoform that lacks 22 amino acids of the transactivation domain. Within aa 124-247, mouse HSF1 shares 94% and 99% aa sequence identity with human and rat HSF1, respectively.
