Known genes interacting with heat stress

Gene BTA Position Traits Description
Fat Milk Protein
YBEY 1 147,710,807 The translation-associated heat shock genes, playing key roles in the heat-shock response of E. coli under heat shock stress [41, 42].
Unknown 2 112,901,035 In association with the gene SERPINE2, which had been proven to impact the sweating rate of dairy cattle [43]
SOCS2 5 23,522,032 Suppressor of cytokine signalling 2, might be responsible for heat stress abatement during the dry period of dairy cattle [56].
HSF1 14 1,806,291 Genes involved in the bovine heat stress response [45, 57].
DYRK3 16 4,288,402 The dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 3, impacting Respiration rate (breaths per minute) in dairy cattle [43]
NFAT5 18 36,897,740 Nuclear factor of activated T cells, simulating transcription of Heat shock protein 70 [58].
SSTR1 21 48,804,372 Somatostatin receptor 1, playing a role in heat stress sensing or communicating stress status between cells [59].
CACNA2D3 22 46,612,204 Methylation of the Calcium Channel-Related Gene, showing impaired behavioural heat pain sensitivity in mice and human studies [60].
MED17 29 1,021,424 The mediator mutant yeast, which was temperature-sensitive [61].
ME3 29 8,968,989 Malic Enzyme 3, conferring heat-stable resistance to root-knot nematodes in plants [62].
MACROD1 29 43,097,815 Heat shock protein 90 kDa alpha (cytosolic), class A member 1, which might be in association with PAR (had been proved to function heat shock response) [63, 64].
STIP1 29 43,108,351 Stress inducible protein 1, was homologous to the human heat shock cognate protein 70 (hsc70)/heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) [47].
GSTP1 29 46,094,664 Glutathione S-transferase Pi, which was reported to play a positive role under heat stress in controlling cellular toxicants and to alleviate the destructive effect on cattle [65].
ATG2A 29 43,751,656 Autophagy Related 2 Homolog A, which had been referred to as the Heat Stress-repressed target genes by Niskanen et al., 2015 [66].
