Evaluation of the Role of Human DNAJAs in the Response to Cytotoxic Chemotherapeutic Agents in a Yeast Model System

Figure 4

Sensitivity of the DNAJAs-expressing strains to heat shock. (a) The survival of the strains was tested for heat sensitivity. Serial dilutions of the cells were plated onto Leu⁻ + glucose plates and incubated at 30°C (untreated controls) and at 37°C (heat shock). Growth was scored at 72 hours. YDJ1 is the positive control, resistant to heat shock, and ydj1Δ is the negative control, sensitive to heat-shock. (b) Survival was determined by growth of the heat-shocked strain relative to the growth of nonheat-shocked cells. At least three sets of experiments were used in the statistical analysis. Average survival plus standard deviation is shown. Dil: serial dilutions; ns: not significantly different. Significantly different.
