## Abstract The heat‐shock proteins (HSPs) Hsp27 and αB‐crystallin are up‐regulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the extent of this and the consequences are still largely unknown. The HSPs are involved in protein degradation and protection against protein aggregation, and they interact with sev
The extracellular, acidic pathogenesis-related protein, PR-4, was purified to homogeneity from leaves of Nicotiana tabacum infected with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and characterized by partial amino acid sequencing. Complementary DNA clones encoding PR-4 were isolated using an oligonucleotide probe
The role of murine Hsp25 phosphorylation in the protection mediated by this protein against TNF␣-or H 2 O 2 -mediated cytotoxicity was investigated in L929 cell lines expressing wild type (wt-) or nonphosphorylatable (mt-) Hsp25. We show that mt-Hsp25, in which the phosphorylation sites, serines 15
