Hsf1 | Heat shock factor protein 1; Functions as a stress-inducible and DNA-binding transcription factor that plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response (HSR), leading to the expression of a large class of molecular chaperones heat shock proteins (HSPs) that protect cells from cellular insults' damage. In unstressed cells, is present in a HSP90-containing multichaperone complex that maintains it in a non- DNA-binding inactivated monomeric form. Upon exposure to heat and other stress stimuli, undergoes homotrimerization and activates HSP gene transcriptio [...] (503 aa) | ||||
Dapk2 | Death-associated protein kinase 2; Calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine kinase involved in multiple cellular signaling pathways that trigger cell survival, apoptosis, and autophagy. Capable of regulating both type I apoptotic and type II autophagic cell death signals. The former involves caspase activation, chromatin and mitochondrial condensation while the latter involves caspase-independent cell death in conjunction with accumulation of mature autophagic vesicles, plasma membrane blebs, and nuclear condensation without DNA degradation. Mediator of anoikis and a suppressor of [...] (370 aa) |
