The L189P HSF1 mutant is defective in promoting Hsp70 expression in mammalian cells. (A) hsf1−/− MEFs were transiently transfected with an empty vector or plasmids expressing wild-type human HSF1 or the HSF1 mutants identified in this screen. The transfected cells were maintained either at 37° or heat shocked at 41° for 1 hr followed by an 8-hr recovery at 37°. Total protein extracts were analyzed for Hsp70 and HSF1 by immunoblotting. GAPDH serves as a loading control. (B) Cell lysates were prepared as in (A) and analyzed for Hsp70 levels by ELISA.
