Genetic analysis reveals domain interactions of Arabidopsis Hsp100/ClpB and cooperation with the small heat shock protein chaperone system. Plant Cell 17 (2005) 559-571. An extensive suppressor screen of a semi-dominant gain-of-function Hsp101 mutant allele identified intragenic suppressors. The location of the suppressor mutations indicates that the unique coiled-coil domain of the Hsp100/ClpB proteins interacts with nucleotide-binding domain 1 in Hsp101 function. Further, sHSPs remain in the insoluble cell fraction longer in the Hsp101 mutant, an effect that is reversed by the suppressors.

Plant J 49 (2007) 115-127. The complete ClpB/Hsp100 chaperone family in Arabidopsis is shown to consist of one cytosolic/nuclear member (Hsp101), one mitochondrion-targeted member and one chloroplast-targeted member. A null mutation of the chloroplast-targeted gene is seedling lethal. See also [15].

Dual role for tomato heat shock protein 21: protecting photosystem II from oxidative stress and promoting color changes during fruit maturation. Plant Cell 17 (2005) 1829-1838. The authors of this paper present the very interesting observation that Hsp21, which is targeted to plastids, can promote plastid differentiation when overexpressed in tomato. Their results also support previous observations supporting a role for Hsp21 (direct or indirect) in protection from oxidative stress.

The authors analyzed the consequences of double knockout of HsfA1a and HsfA1b on the whole Arabidopsis transcriptome. For the first time, the essential role of these HSFs in the regulation of HSP and non-conventional HS-responsive genes, such as coding for enzymes involved in sugar metabolism, was shown.

The heat stress transcription factor HsfA2 serves as a regulatory amplifier of a subset of genes in the heat stress response in Arabidopsis. Plant Mol Biol 60 (2006) 759-772. In this study, HsfA2 was analyzed as a dominant HSF under HS conditions in Arabidopsis. Transcriptome analysis of an HsfA2 knockout line under HS conditions revealed its important role for the regulation of subsets of HSP genes. For functional characterization, analysis of HSF-binding sites in target promoters by DNA-binding and transient reporter assays was included.

Dual function of an Arabidopsis transcription factor DREB2A in water-stress-responsive and heat-stress-responsive gene expression. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 103 (2006) 18822-18827. Overexpression of a constitutively active form of the heat- and drought-inducible DREB2A transcription factor resulted in induction of HSPs and drought- and salt-regulated transcripts in non-stressed plants. This was accompanied by higher tolerance to HS treatments, whereas DREB2A null mutants showed reduced thermotolerance.

Plant Physiol 138 (2005) 882-897. By analyzing the heat sensitivity of multiple Arabidopsis mutants, this report shows the involvement of several genes other than classical HSP-encoding genes in basal or acquired thermotolerance. Mutant phenotypes also support a possible role of phytohormones, such as ABA, SA and ethylene, and ROS in HS signaling.

Enhanced tolerance to environmental stress in transgenic plants expressing the transcriptional coactivator multiprotein bridging factor 1c. Plant Physiol 139 (2005) 1313-1322. This paper describes how the constitutive expression of the stress-response transcriptional coactivator MULTIPROTEIN BRIDGING FACTOR 1C (MBF1c) in Arabidopsis enhances the tolerance of transgenic plants to bacterial infection, heat, and osmotic stress. Transcriptome profiling and inhibitor studies suggest that MBF1c expression enhances tolerance through alterations of the ethylene-response signal transduction pathway, and through altering the production of specific defense-related transcripts.
