Function: Function as a stress-inducible and DNA-binding transcription factor that plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of the heat shock response (HSR), leading to the expression of a large class of molecular chaperones heat shock proteins (HSPs) that protect cells from cellular insults' damage. In unstressed cells, is present in a HSP90-containing multichaperone complex that maintains it in a non-DNA-binding inactivated monomeric form. Upon exposure to heat and other stress stimuli, undergoes homotrimerization and activates HSP gene transcription through binding to site-specific heat shock elements (HSEs) present in the promoter regions of HSP genes. Activation is reversible, and during the attenuation and recovery phase period of the HSR, returns to its unactivated form. Binds to inverted 5'-NGAAN-3' pentamer DNA sequences. Binds to chromatin at heat shock gene promoters. Plays also several other functions independently of its transcriptional activity. Involved in the repression of Ras-induced transcriptional activation of the c-fos gene in heat-stressed cells. Positively regulates pre-mRNA 3'-end processing and polyadenylation of HSP70 mRNA upon heat-stressed cells in a symplekin (SYMPK)-dependent manner. Plays a role in nuclear export of stress-induced HSP70 mRNA. Plays a role in the regulation of mitotic progression. Plays also a role as a negative regulator of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair activity in a DNA damage- dependent manner. Involved in stress-induced cancer cell proliferation in a IER5-dependent manner.

Translocates in the nucleus upon heat shock. Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein. Colocalizes with IER5 in the nucleus. Colocalizes with BAG3 to the nucleus upon heat stress. Localizes in subnuclear granules called nuclear stress bodies (nSBs) upon heat shock. Colocalizes with SYMPK and SUMO1 in nSBs upon heat shock. Colocalizes with PRKACA/PKA in the nucleus and nSBs upon heat shock. Relocalizes from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during the attenuation and recovery phase period of the heat shock response. Translocates in the cytoplasm in a YWHAE- and XPO1/CRM1-dependent manner. Together with histone H2AX, redistributed in discrete nuclear DNA damage-induced foci after ionizing radiation (IR). Colocalizes with calcium-responsive transactivator SS18L1 at kinetochore region on the mitotic chromosomes. Colocalizes with gamma tubulin at centrosome. Localizes at spindle pole in metaphase. Colocalizes with PLK1 at spindle poles during prometaphase.

products description :
Heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) mediates the induction of heat shock protein gene expression in cells exposed to elevated temperature and other stress conditions. In response to stress, HSF1 acquires DNA-binding ability and localizes to nuclear stress granules. SUMO modification of HSF1 converts HSF1 to the DNA-binding form. HSF1 colocalizes with SUMO-1 in nuclear stress granules, which is prevented by mutation of the HSF1 lysine targeted for sumoylation.

ncbi summary :
The product of this gene is a heat-shock transcription factor. Transcription of heat-shock genes is rapidly induced after temperature stress. Hsp90, by itself and/or associated with multichaperone complexes, is a major repressor of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
HSF1: a transcription factor that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE) and activates transcription. Induced in response to heat, heavy metals, and oxidative stress. In higher eukaryotes, HSF is unable to bind to HSEs unless the cells are stressed. Becomes phosphorylated in response to stress, forming homotrimers that bind DNA and activate transcription. Phosphorylation by PLK1 enhances nuclear translocation, and phosphorylation by CaMKII enhances transactivation. Phosphorylation by GSK3 and ERK1 induces binding by 14-3-3 and sequestration in the cytoplasm. In addition, during attenuation from the heat shock response, HSF1 is repressed by direct binding of Hsp70, HSP40, and HSF binding protein 1 (HSBP1). Four alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. Protein type: DNA-binding; Transcription factor. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q24.3. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; protein complex; pronucleus; cytoplasm; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; chromatin binding; transcription factor activity. Biological Process: negative regulation of cell proliferation; embryonic placenta development; embryonic process involved in female pregnancy; mRNA transcription; female meiosis; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; spermatogenesis; defense response; response to lipopolysaccharide; positive regulation of multicellular organism growth; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; negative regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; protein amino acid phosphorylation
