How is HSP gene expression regulated in response to stress?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for regulatory mechanisms governing the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) genes. A specific interest is expressed in the potential role of a thermo-unstable repressor mechanism, although the feasibility of this concept is uncertain. Participants are encouraged to share insights or relevant information on this topic. Several scholarly articles are referenced to support the inquiry, indicating a desire for a deeper understanding of HSP gene regulation.

I was trying to find something about regulation mechanisms for expression of HSP genes, but no luck.
Thing is I was thing about, maybe, possibility of thermo unstable repressor mechanism, but I don’t know how much that is possible.
Any comments or information would be great.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
