A yNlucPEST reporter was used to monitor Hsf1 activity as previously described49 (link). Briefly, Nano-Glo substrate (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) was diluted 1:100 with the supplied lysis buffer and mixed 1:10 with logarithmic growing cells carrying the reporter plasmid pCA955. Bioluminescence was determined after 3 min of incubation, using an Orion II Microplate Luminometer (Berthold Technologies GmbH, Bad Wildbad, Germany) and the obtained signal was normalized to OD600.
