The HSF trimers associated with the HSE are phospho- cells, HSF normally exists in a monomeric state()associ- rylated (5) facilitating the binding of HSP70 to the phos- ated with HSP70 proteins. Upon the onset of an episode of phorylated trimers(6). The HSP70 trimer complex(7)disso- heat stress, HSP70 dissociates from HSF which subse- ciates from the HSE and disassembles and dephosphory quently trimerizes(2). Active trimers bind to heat shock lates into HSF monomers(8), which subsequently bind HSP elements(HSE)in the promoter of heat shock protein(HSP) reforming the resting HSP70/HSF complex (After Bray et genes(3), and activate the transcription of HSP mRNAs al.2000.)

ure Oxides of sulfur emitted from fossil fuel power plants and other industries, and oxides of nitrogen from automobile exhaust, are converted in the moist atmosphere into acids that become dispersed over wide areas. Unlike unpolluted rain (average pH 5.6), the ph of acid rain has been measured at 4.2 and even lower. Plants, such as these trees photographed in the Black Forest of germany, may be damaged when the resulting increase in soil acidity causes certain minerals, particularly calcium ions, to leach out of the soil.
