Outline of Final Research Achievements

Capacity of cellular protein homeostasis, known as proteostasis, is related with progression of age-related neurodegenerative disease and cancer. One of prominent mechanisms of the maintenance of proteostasis capacity is the heat shock response, which is regulated mainly at the level of transcription by heat shock factors (HSFs). Among mammalian HSFs, HSF4 constitutively binds to DNA under unstressed conditions. In this research project, we demonstrate a mechanism by which HSF4 activity is regulated through phosphorylation, and suggest that proteostasis capacity is regulated by a chemical modification of HSF4 under physiological conditions.
