TLDR
The heat-shock response is a conserved reaction of cells and organisms to elevated temperatures (heat shock or heat stress).
Abstract
The heat-shock response is a conserved reaction of cells and organisms to elevated temperatures (heat shock or heat stress). Whereas severe heat stress leads to cellular damage and cell death, sublethal doses of heat stress induce a cellular response, the heat-shock response, which (a) protects

Small heat shock proteins and stress tolerance in plants.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent knowledge about plant sHsp gene expression, protein structure and functions and supports the hypothesis that these proteins play an important role in stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acquired tolerance to temperature extremes

TL;DR: This article identified key components of stress signal transduction pathways that trigger enhanced tolerance, and several determinants of acquired tolerance have been identified, including general as well as stress-specific components.

Transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis heat shock proteins and transcription factors reveals extensive overlap between heat and non-heat stress response pathways

TL;DR: Results show that Hsf and Hsp family member genes represent an interaction point between multiple stress response pathways, and therefore warrant functional analysis under conditions apart from heat shock treatment, and have implications regarding the molecular basis of cross-tolerance in plant species.

Heat stress response in plants: a complex game with chaperones and more than twenty heat stress transcription factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tomato HsfA2 is found after hs induction and represents the dominant Hsf, the "working horse" of the heat stress response in plants subjected to repeated cycles of hs and recovery in a hot summer period.

Arabidopsis heat shock transcription factor A2 as a key regulator in response to several types of environmental stress

TL;DR: The present results indicate that HsfA2 is a key regulator in the induction of the defence system under several types of environmental stress.

ATP-dependent nucleosome disruption at a heat-shock promoter mediated by binding of GAGA transcription factor

TL;DR: The chromatin structure of the hsp70 promoter is reconstructed using an in vitro nucleosome assembly system, suggesting that an energy-dependent pathway is involved in chromatin remodelling.

Molecular chaperones and protein folding in plants.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current understanding of how molecular chaperones function in plants, with a major focus on those systems where the most detailed mechanistic data are available, or where features of the chaperone/foldase system or substrate proteins are unique to plants.

Regulation of heat shock factor trimer formation: role of a conserved leucine zipper

TL;DR: The results suggest that the carboxyl-terminal zipper may suppress formation of trimers by the amino- terminal HSF zipper elements by means of intramolecular coiled-coil interactions that are sensitive to heat shock.
