This short review deals with the novelty of the 90-kDa stress protein Hsp90 as a molecular
chaperone. The term “molecular chaperones” has been given to indicate a class of cellular …

Heat stress proteins can be assigned to eleven protein families conserved among bacteria,
plants and animals. Most of them aid other proteins to maintain or regain their native …

Plasmodesmata establish a pathway for the trafficking of non-cell-autonomously acting
proteins and ribonucleoprotein complexes. Plasmodesmal enriched cell fractions and the …

When a model secretory precursor was synthesized in vitro and analyzed by rate-zonal
sedimentation, it appeared to be associated with other proteins present in a wheat germ …

During evolution of land plants, a specific motif occurred in the N‐terminal domain of the
chloroplast‐localized small heat shock protein, Hsp21: a sequence with highly conserved …

Plants synthesize several classes of small (15-to 30-kD monomer) heat-shock proteins
(sHSPs) in response to heat stress, including a nuclear-encoded, chloroplast-localized …

The small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are molecular chaperones that share an alpha-
crystallin domain but display a high diversity of sequence, expression, and localization. They …

We have cloned and characterized two members of the family of genes for the 81-kilodalton
heat-shock proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana, HSP81-1 and HSP81-2. Comparison of the …

Summary NtHSP18P (HSP18), a cytosolic class I small heat‐shock protein from tobacco
pollen grains, was expressed in Escherichia coli. The viability of these cells was improved …

The nuclear-encoded chloroplast-localized Hsp21 is an oligomeric heat shock protein (Hsp),
belonging to the protein family of small Hsps and α-crystallins. We have investigated the …
