Heat‐shock protein 70 (HSP70)‐related proteins are classified in two main subfamilies: the DnaK subfamily and the HSP110/SSE1 subfamily. We have characterized the first plant member of the HSP110/SSE1 subfamily, HSP91. At least two, tightly linked genes encoding HSP91 are present per haploid Arabidopsis genome. HSP91 is constitutively expressed in non‐stressed Arabidopsis plants and is transiently induced by heat shock.
