AbstractTemperature‐sensitive mutants have revealed a region of the herpes simplex virus 1 genome that affects both the uptake of hexose and the synthesis of heat shock proteins. Other inducers of heat‐shock proteins, namely heat shock itself and arsenite, likewise induce an increased uptake of hexose. The increased uptake, like that induced by insulin, is insensitive to the presence of actinomycin D or cycloheximide. It is concluded that an increased hexose uptake, reflecting an activation or relocation of existing hexose transport protein, is general biochemical response of stressed ce
