Function of Mouse Heat Shock Factor 1 Alpha and Beta Isoforms

Source: National Institutes of Health

Award Amount: $277,580

PI: Nancy Bachman (Biology)

Period:
9/2011-8/2014

Heat shock factor 1, a major target of the longevity factor sirtuin 1, provides body cells with protection from stressors such as heat and peroxide. This project will identify the contribution of isoforms of mouse heat shock factor 1, a regulatory protein, in activating stress response genes. Understanding these basic mechanisms will provide a critical framework for new treatments for age-associated diseases targeted to the heat shock pathway.
