hsp26, the small heat shock protein ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae, accumulates in response to heat and other types of stress. It also accumulates during the normal course of development, as cells enter stationary phase growth or begin to sporulate (S. Kurtz, J. Rossi, L. Petko, and S. Lindquist, Science 231:1154-1157, 1986). Analysis of deletion and insertion mutations demonstrated that transcriptional control plays a critical role in regulatingHSP26expression. TheHSP26promoter was found to be complex and appears to contain repressing elements as well as activating elements. Several upstream deletion mutations resulted in strong constitutive expression ofHSP26. Furthermore, upstream sequences from theHSP26gene repressed the constitutive expression of a heterologous heat shock gene. We propose that basal repression and heat-induced depression of transcription play major roles in regulating the expression ofHSP26. None of the recombinant constructs that we analyzed separated cis-regulatory sequences responsible for heat shock regulation from those responsible for developmental regulation ofHSP26. Depression ofHSP26transcription may be the general mechanism ofHSP26induction in yeast cells. This regulatory scheme is very different from that described for the regulation of most other heat shock genes.
