Scientific Background: HSF1, or heat shock factor 1, belongs to a family of Heat Shock transcription factors that activate the transcription of genes encoding products required for protein folding, processing, targeting, degradation, and function (2). The up-regulation of HSP (heat shock proteins) expression by stressors is achieved at the level of transcription through a heat shock element (HSE) and a transcription factor (HSF) (3, 4, 5). Most HSFs have highly conserved amino acid sequences. On all HSFs there is a DNA binding domain at the N-terminus. Hydrophobic repeats located adjacent to this binding domain are essential for the formation of active trimers. Towards the C-terminal region another short hydrophobic repeat exists, and is thought to be necessary for suppression of trimerization (6). There are two main heat shock factors, 1 and 2. Mouse HSF1 exists as two isoforms, however in higher eukaryotes HSF1 is found in a diffuse cytoplasmic and nuclear distribution in un-stressed cells. Once exposed to a multitude of stressors, it localizes to discrete nuclear granules within seconds. As it recovers from stress, HSF1 dissipates from these granules to a diffuse nuceloplasmic distribution. HSF2 on the other hand is similar to mouse HSF1, as it exists as two isoforms, the alpha form being more transcriptionally active than the smaller beta form (7, 8). Various experiments have suggested that HFS2 may have roles in differentiation and development (9, 10, 11).

NCBI Description

The product of this gene is a heat-shock transcription factor. Transcription of heat-shock genes is rapidly induced after temperature stress. Hsp90, by itself and/or associated with multichaperone complexes, is a major repressor of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

HSF1: a transcription factor that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE) and activates transcription. Induced in response to heat, heavy metals, and oxidative stress. In higher eukaryotes, HSF is unable to bind to HSEs unless the cells are stressed. Becomes phosphorylated in response to stress, forming homotrimers that bind DNA and activate transcription. Phosphorylation by PLK1 enhances nuclear translocation, and phosphorylation by CaMKII enhances transactivation. Phosphorylation by GSK3 and ERK1 induces binding by 14-3-3 and sequestration in the cytoplasm. In addition, during attenuation from the heat shock response, HSF1 is repressed by direct binding of Hsp70, HSP40, and HSF binding protein 1 (HSBP1). Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.
