Heat shock genes of <i>Cryptosporidium</i>.

Genes annotated as encoding HSPs in the C. hominis and C. parvum databases (http://www.hominis.mic.vcu.edu). aIdentity of megablast nucleotide alignment of C. parvum and C. hominis. bUpstream Region: number of base pairs between the ATG start codon of the heat shock gene and the closest upstream gene in the C. hominis sequence. cTranscriptional orientation on the chromosome. dMean position of motif occurrences from ATG start site of each gene, in base pairs. Values are combined means of hits from AlignACE and MEME algorithms. ePosition of nearest occurrence of motif, as found by either algorithm. fFold induction of gene expression, quantified by qRT-PCR. Values shown are ratio of quantity mean values of heat shock to ambient control (37°C/25°C), with standard error. gP-value<5×10−6. hP-value<0.05. iMotif not found upstream of cgd3_3440 gene. jND; not done.
