Abstract The heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a DNA-binding factor that has responses under proteotoxic stress is well-known as an HSF. Heat shock factor 1 is a unique regulator that coordinates chaperone expression to enhance organism growth. Specifically, HSF’s drive transcriptional strategy is apparent from the HSP’s and promotes cell viability. A recent study supported the HSF1 coordinated with different cancer and robust in cancer immunotherapy. In this research, I designed to genome-wide analysis of HSF1 and its family in mammals. A comparative analysis of HSF’s is mandatory to explore functions and immunogenic mechanisms involved with HSP’s in organisms. Therefore, I performed a bioinformatics pipeline and tools to the current knowledge of HSF’s in two different organisms. This application can enhance in a significant way to study particular HSF’s in discrete organisms. My finding data demonstrated the number of HSF1 and their family in Homo sapiens and Mus musculus. The conserved domain, motifs, phylogeny, chromosome location, gene network, and expression analysis documented the HSF1 associated with cancer. The analysis data concluded the HSF1 is impact in various cancers and a signature of cancer immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT The heat shock response, which is accompanied by a rapid and robust upregulation of heat shock proteins (Hsps), is a highly conserved protection mechanism against protein-damaging stress. Hsp induction is mainly regulated at transcriptional level by stress-inducible heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). Upon activation, HSF1 trimerizes, binds to DNA, concentrates in the nuclear stress granules, and undergoes a marked multisite phosphorylation, which correlates with its transcriptional activity. In this study, we show that HSF1 is modified by SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 in a stress-inducible manner. Sumoylation is rapidly and transiently enhanced on lysine 298, located in the regulatory domain of HSF1, adjacent to several critical phosphorylation sites. Sumoylation analyses of HSF1 phosphorylation site mutants reveal that specifically the phosphorylation-deficient S303 mutant remains devoid of SUMO modification in vivo and the mutant mimicking phosphorylation of S303 promotes HSF1 sumoylation in vitro, indicating that S303 phosphorylation is required for K298 sumoylation. This finding is further supported by phosphopeptide mapping and analysis with S303/7 phosphospecific antibodies, which demonstrate that serine 303 is a target for strong heat-inducible phosphorylation, corresponding to the inducible HSF1 sumoylation. A transient phosphorylation-dependent colocalization of HSF1 and SUMO-1 in nuclear stress granules provides evidence for a strictly regulated subnuclear interplay between HSF1 and SUMO.
