Thermotolerance in Fungi: The Role of Heat Shock Proteins and Trehalose

Abstract

The parallel synthesis of heat shock proteins and trehalose in response to heat shock did not allow the role of these compounds in the acquisition of thermotolerance by fungal cells to be established for a long time. This review analyses experimental data obtained with the use of mutant fungal strains and shows differences in the thermoprotective functions of trehalose and heat shock proteins in relation to cell membranes and macromolecules. The main emphasis has been placed on data demonstrating the thermoprotective role of trehalose in fungi, the present-day understanding of its biological functions, and mechanisms of trehalose interaction with subcellular structures and cell macromolecules.
