Cells respond to heat shock with transcriptional and translational adaptations but how HSP90 inhibition alters the heat shock proteome is largely unclear. Here, the authors analyze proteome changes upon HSP90 inhibition and show that an m6A-mediated mechanism contributes to the heat shock-induced upregulation of DNAJB4.
