Heat stress induces formation of cytoplasmic granules containing HSC70 protein.
Using indirect immunofluorescence, in this study we showed that the constitutive heat shock protein HSC70 forms granule-like structures in the cytoplasm of human cells several days after the exposure to heat stress. It was shown that this effect is not the result of HSC70 overexpression under heat stress and is not due to the formation of hyperthermia-induced translational stress granules in the cytoplasm.
