The activity of the Arabidopsis heat shock transcription factor (HSF) is repressed at normal conditions but activated by cellular stresses. Circumstantial evidence suggests that HSP70 may function as a negative feedback regulator of HSF activity. Here the interaction between HSF and HSP70 is reported using electrophoretic mobility shift and yeast two-hybrid assays. Subdomain mapping indicates an interaction of the activation domain and DNA-binding domain of HSF1 with HSP70.
