Description for Cell Stress Proteins
Hardback. Surveys the knowledge concerning the expression and function of stress proteins in different organisms, ranging from prokaryotes to humans. This book provides an overview of the diversity and complex evolutionary history of cell stress proteins and describes their function and expression in different eukaryote models. Editor(s): Calderwood, Stuart K. Series: Protein Reviews. Num Pages: 476 pages, 27 black & white illustrations, 11 colour illustrations, 16 black & white tables, biograp. BIC Classification: PSBC; PSF. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 28. Weight in Grams: 878.
Stressproteinssuchastheheatshockproteins(Hsp)andglucose-regulatedproteins (Grp) are front-line molecules in responses to cellular insult and play key roles in the viability of single cell organisms exposed to environmental stresses. However, the discovery of the roles of Hsp and Grp as molecular chaperones indicates much wider functions in the physiology of cells and organisms. It is now clear that some stress proteins are expressed constitutively and are key mediators of housekeeping protein folding in the day-to-day existence of the cell. The maturation of enzymes, transcriptionfactors,andcellsurfacereceptorsreliesonthesefunctionsofthestress proteins. In addition, the ability of stress proteins to manipulate the structures of target proteins has lent them cell regulatory ... Read more
