Abstract:
Heat stress is one of the most popular models for studying the regulation of gene expression. For decades, researchers' attention was focused on the study of the mechanisms of transcriptional activation of stress-induced genes. Although the phenomenon of heat stress-induced global transcriptional repression is known for a long time, the exact molecular mechanisms of such a repression are poorly explored. In this mini-review, we attempt to summarize the existing experimental data on heat stress-induced transcriptional repression.

What is Gene Expression?
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...
