Genome-wide analysis and characterization of HSP gene families (HSP20, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, HSP90) in the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) (Diptera: Culicidae).

ABSTRACT: The heat shock protein (HSP) gene families, present across prokaryotes to eukaryotes, play vital roles in growth, development, and heat resistance processes. While HSP proteins have been identified and characterized in various species, this study achieved the first genome-wide identification and characterization of HSP proteins in the Aedes aegypti genome. This study identified and assessed 80 potential HSP genes in Ae. aegypti. The phylogenetic relationships of HSP genes were investigated in Ae. aegypti, Anopheles stephensi, and Drosophila melanogaster. Additionally, the structural features, chromosomal locations, protein characteristics, 3D structure, protein-protein interactions, and microsatellites associated with HSP proteins were examined in Ae. aegypti. The phylogenetic analysis of
