GeneID: 3299 Human HSF4

Swiss-port # Q9ULV5 Human Heat shock factor protein 4

Gene Symbol HSF4
Gene Full Name heat shock transcription factor 4
Background Heat-shock transcription factors (HSFs) activate heat-shock response genes under conditions of heat or other stresses. HSF4 lacks the carboxyl-terminal hydrophobic repeat which is shared among all vertebrate HSFs and has been suggested to be involved in the negative regulation of DNA binding activity. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding distinct isoforms and possessing different transcriptional activity have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function DNA-binding protein that specifically binds heat shock promoter elements (HSE). Isoform HSF4A represses transcription while the isoform HSF4B activates transcription. [UniProt]
Cellular Localization Nucleus. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 53 kDa
PTM Phosphorylated mainly on serine residues. Phosphorylation on Ser-298 promotes sumoylation on Lys-293.

Isoform HSF4B is constitutively sumoylated. Sumoylation represses the transcriptional activity and is promoted by phosphorylation on Ser-298. HSFA is not sumoylated. [UniProt]
