    ..In addition, anti-HSP autoantibodies are frequently found in patients with autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders, and these autoantibodies can modulate the "danger signal" triggered by extracellular HSP. ..
  3. Juni N, Awasaki T, Yoshida K, Hori S. The Om (1E) mutation in Drosophila ananassae causes compound eye overgrowth due to tom retrotransposon-driven overexpression of a novel gene. Genetics. 1996;143:1257-70 pubmed
    ..These findings suggest that the Om(1E) gene is involved in a variety of developmental processes. ..

    ..2). Expression of WPM-1 mRNA was dramatically induced by 50 microM ABA within a few hours. These results suggest that the AWPM-19 might be closely associated with the ABA-induced increase in freezing tolerance in wheat cultured cells...
  5. Ukaji N, Kuwabara C, Takezawa D, Arakawa K, Fujikawa S. Cold acclimation-induced WAP27 localized in endoplasmic reticulum in cortical parenchyma cells of mulberry tree was homologous to group 3 late-embryogenesis abundant proteins. Plant Physiol. 2001;126:1588-97 pubmed
    ..The role of WAP27 in the ER is discussed in relation to acquisition of freezing tolerance of cortical parenchyma cells in mulberry tree during winter. ..

    ..These data suggest that ERdj3 might have diverse roles in the ER, including that of the molecular cochaperone of BiP and an as yet unknown protective action against vero toxin. ..

    ..Ethanol loading with ADH inhibition causes down-regulation of GRP78 mRNA levels. Therefore, these findings suggest first revelation that inhibition of ethanol metabolism complicates oxidative and ER stresses produced by ethanol. ..

    ..This difference might be a clue to the mechanism of the stress-response pathway and might also contribute to the potential application of p53 inhibitors for the treatment of spinal cord diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ..
