A human 70-kDa [kilodalton] heat shock protein (hsp70) gene segment was isolated. The segment contains 3.15 kilobase pairs (kbp) of 5'' nontranscribed sequence, an RNA leader of 119 bp [base pairs], and a protein-coding region of 741 bp. The human protein sequence shows a high degree of homology to hsp 70 sequences from other species. Expression experiments in Xenopus oocytes and mammalian cells indicate that a region that includes only 105 bp of 5'' nontranscribed sequence contains all elements required for the efficient heat-controlled expression of the human gene. Two adjacent identical sequence elements, which are partly homologous to the Drosophila heat shock consensus sequence, are located 57-76 bp upstream from the capping site. Interestingly, the capping site itself is flanked by inverted repeat sequences.
