“…Our array analysis confirmed that expression of some of the heat shock genes, including KAR2, HSP104, and HSP78, was strongly induced by temperature shift and also revealed that a number of other heat shock genes, including HSP12, SSB2, SSC1, SSA1-like gene (CNAG_01727), SSE1, AHA1, CDC37, and HSP10, also showed this effect. Chow et al (2007) reported that the expression of genes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis (ERG3, ERG4, ERG502, ERG25, and OSH6) is repressed by heat. In addition to the reported ergosterol biosynthesis genes (ERG3, ERG4, and ERG25), our study also revealed that the expression of a number of other ergosterol biosynthesis genes, including ERG2, ERG5, ERG6, ERG8, ERG10, ERG11, ERG13, ERG20, ERG24, NCP1, and MVD1, was repressed by high temperature.…”
