Abstract

Heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70)-related proteins are classified in two main subfamilies: the DnaK subfamily and the HSP110/SSE1 subfamily. We have characterized the first plant member of the HSP110/SSE1 subfamily, HSP91. At least two, tightly linked genes encoding HSP91 are present per haploid Arabidopsis genome. HSP91 is constitutively expressed in non-stressed Arabidopsis plants and is transiently induced by heat shock.
