Stress conditions inhibit mRNA export, but mRNAs encoding heat shock proteins continue to be efficiently exported from the nucleus during stress. How hsp mRNAs bypass this stress-associated export inhibition was not known. Here we show that HSF1, the transcription factor that binds hsp promoters after stress to induce their transcription, interacts with the nuclear pore-associating Tpr protein in a stress-responsive manner. Tpr is brought into proximity of the hsp70 promoter after stress and preferentially associates with mRNAs transcribed from this promoter. Disruption of the HSF1-Tpr interaction inhibits the export of mRNAs expressed from the hsp70 promoter, both endogenous hsp70 mRNA and a luciferase reporter mRNA. These results suggest that hsp mRNA export escapes stress inhibition via HSF1-mediated recruitment of the nuclear pore-associating protein Tpr to hsp genes, thereby functionally connecting the first and last nuclear steps of the gene expression pathway, transcription and mRNA export.
