Phylogenetic relationships were examined among 35 a-crystallin-related heat-shock proteins from animals, plants, and fungi. Approximately one-third of the aligned amino acids in these proteins were conserved in 74% of the proteins, and three blocks of consensus sequence were identified. Relationship

Introduction: Fallopian tube damage and subsequent infertility are common sequelae of upper genital tract infection with Chlamydia trachomatis. This fallopian tube damage is thought to be immune mediated. The 60 kilodalton chlamydial heat shock protein (hsp) may be the key antigen associated with th
Animal experiments have shown that members of the heat shock protein (HSP) family have cytoprotective properties against ischaemia. In experimentally induced cardiac ischaemia, the induction of HSP70s correlates with reduced infarct size and enhanced myocardial function and endothelial recovery. Dir
The HSP70 heat-shock proteins are molecular chaperones that assist other proteins in folding, transport, and assembly into complexes. The genes for these proteins are either constitutively expressed (Hsc70, Grp78), or their expression is induced by heat shock and other stresses (Hsp70-1, Hsp70-3). T
The 70kDa heat-shock protein (HSP70) is conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and the protein as well as its encoding gene have been applied in phylogenetic studies of different parasites. In spite of the frequent use of New World Leishmania species identification on the basis of restriction
