Pausing on the Path to Robustness

Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Heat-shock proteins (Hsps) maintain homeostasis by assisting protein folding, and the transcriptional regulation of Hsp-coding genes has long been under study. Sawarkar et al. (2012) now report in Cell that Hsp90 is itself a transcriptional regulator required for RNA polymerase pausing, contributing to rapid, robust induction of many genes.
