Expression Patterns of the Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) Gene Suggest Its Possible Involvement in Maintaining the Dormancy of Dinoflagellate Resting Cysts.

ABSTRACT: Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone functioning in cellular structural folding and conformational integrity maintenance and thus plays vital roles in a variety of biological processes. However, many aspects of these functions and processes remain to be fully elucidated, particularly for non-model organisms. Dinoflagellates are a group of eukaryotes that are exceedingly important in primary production and are responsible for the most harmful algal blooms (HABs) in aquatic ecosystems. The success of dinoflagellates in dominating the plankton community is undoubtedly pertinent to their remarkable adaptive strategies, characteristic of resting cyst production and broad tolerance to stresses of temperature and others. Therefore, this study was conducted to ex
