Activation of the adaptive response to cellular stress orchestrated by heat shock factor 1 (HSF1), which is an evolutionarily conserved transcriptional regulator of chaperone response and cellular bioenergetics in diverse model systems, is a central feature of organismal defense from environmental and cellular stress. HSF1 activity, induced by proteostatic, metabolic, and growth factor signals, is regulated by posttranscriptional modifications, yet the mechanisms that regulate HSF1 and particularly the functional significance of these modifications in modulating its biological activityin vivo remain unknown.
