ESCRT-III gets the bends

Mitotic cells’ shocking response to stress E lsing et al. reveal how some vulnerable mitotic cells protect themselves from stress. One way that cells cope with stress is by making heat-shock proteins such as Hsp70 that shield other proteins from damage. The transcription factor HSF1 serves as the main activator for heat-shock protein genes. During interphase, another transcription factor, HSF2,...
