When Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells grown at 23 degrees C were transferred to 36 degrees C, they initiated synthesis of heat shock proteins, acquired thermotolerance to a lethal heat treatment given after the temperature shift, and arrested their growth transiently at the G1 phase of the cell division cycle. The bcy1 mutant which resulted in production of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-independent protein kinase did not synthesize the three heat shock proteins hsp72A, hsp72B, and hsp41 after the temperature shift. The bcy1 cells failed to acquire thermotolerance to the lethal heat treatment and were not arrested at the G1 phase after the temperature shift. In contrast, the cyr1-2 mutant, which produced a low level of cAMP, constitutively produced three heat shock proteins and four other proteins without the temperature shift and was resistant to the lethal heat treatment. The results suggest that a decrease in the level of cAMP-dependent protein phosphorylation results in the heat shock response, including elevated synthesis of three heat shock proteins, acquisition of thermotolerance, and transient arrest of the cell cycle.

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the splicing of mRNA precursors is disrupted by a severe heat shock. Mild heat treatments prior to severe heat shock protect splicing from disruption, as was previously reported for Drosophila melanogaster. In contrast to D. melanogaster, protein synthesis during the pretreatment is not required to protect splicing in yeast cells. However, protein synthesis is required for the rapid recovery of splicing once it has been disrupted by a sudden severe heat shock. Mutations in two classes of yeast hsp genes affect the pattern of RNA splicing during the heat shock response. First, certain hsp70 mutants, which overproduce other heat shock proteins at normal temperatures, show constitutive protection of splicing at high temperatures and do not require pretreatment. Second, in hsp104 mutants, the recovery of RNA splicing after a severe heat shock is delayed compared with wild-type cells. These results indicate a greater degree of specialization in the protective functions of hsps than has previously been suspected. Some of the proteins (e.g., members of the hsp70 and hsp82 gene families) help to maintain normal cellular processes at higher temperatures. The particular function of hsp104, at least in splicing, is to facilitate recovery of the process once it has been disrupted.

The heat-shock response of Legionella pneumophila was examined by radiolabelling bacterial cell proteins with [35S]methionine following a temperature shift from 30 to 42 °C. Five heat-shock proteins were identified as having molecular masses of 17, 60, 70, 78, and 85 kilodaltons (kDa). The 85- and 60-kDa proteins were equally distributed between supernatant and pellet fractions following ultracentrifugation at 100 000 × g, the 70- and 78-kDa proteins were found primarily in the supernatant, and the 17-kDa protein was found primarily in the pellet. Synthesis of subsets of the heat-shock proteins could be stimulated by novobiocin, patulin, or puromycin. Ethanol, an effector of the heat-shock response in other microorganisms, had little effect on L. pneumophila, even at the highest concentration tolerated by the bacterial cells (1.9%). Finally, the 60-kDa heat-shock protein of L. pneumophila was immunologically cross-reactive with a polyclonal antibody prepared to the Escherichia coli groEL protein. However, a mouse monoclonal antibody reactive with the 60-kDa protein of all legionellae tested did not cross-react with the E. coli groEL protein, suggesting that the Legionella 60-kDa protein contains common and unique epitopes.

Abstract Background Maize is one of the important cereal food crops in the world. High temperature stress causes adverse influence on plant growth. When plants are exposed to high temperatures, they produce heat shock proteins (HSPs), which may impart a generalized role in tolerance to heat stress. Proteome analysis was performed in plant to assess the changes in protein types and their expression levels under abiotic stress. The purpose of the study is to explore which proteins are involved in the response of the maize plant to heat shock treatment. Results We investigated the responses of abundant proteins of maize leaves, in an Egyptian inbred line of maize “K1”, upon heat stress through two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) on samples of maize leaf proteome. 2-DE technique was used to recognize heat-responsive protein spots using Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and silver staining. In 2-D analysis of proteins from plants treated at 45 °C for 2 h, the results manifested 59 protein spots (4.3%) which were reproducibly detected as new spots where did not present in the control. In 2D for treated plants for 4 h, 104 protein spots (7.7%) were expressed only under heat stress. Quantification of spot intensities derived from heat treatment showed that twenty protein spots revealed clear differences between the control and the two heat treatments. Nine spots appeared with more intensity after heat treatments than the control, while four spots appeared only after heat treatments. Five spots were clearly induced after heat treatment either at 2 h or 4 h and were chosen for more analysis by LC-MSMS. They were identified as ATPase beta subunit, HSP26, HSP16.9, and unknown HSP/Chaperonin. Conclusion The results revealed that the expressive level of the four heat shock proteins that were detected in this study plays important roles to avoid heat stress in maize plants.

To determine whether the 70-kilodalton heat shock proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae play a role in regulating their own synthesis, we studied the effect of overexpressing the SSA1 protein on the activity of the SSA1 5'-regulatory region. The constitutive level of Ssa1p was increased by fusing the SSA1 structural gene to the GAL1 promoter. A reporter vector consisting of an SSA1-lacZ translational fusion was used to assess SSA1 promoter activity. In a strain producing approximately 10-fold the normal heat shock level of Ssa1p, induction of beta-galactosidase activity by heat shock was almost entirely blocked. Expression of a transcriptional fusion vector in which the CYC1 upstream activating sequence of a CYC1-lacZ chimera was replaced by a sequence containing a heat shock upstream activating sequence (heat shock element 2) from the 5'-regulatory region of SSA1 was inhibited by excess Ssa1p. The repression of an SSA1 upstream activating sequence by the SSA1 protein indicates that SSA1 self-regulation is at least partially mediated at the transcriptional level. The expression of another transcriptional fusion vector, containing heat shock element 2 and a lesser amount of flanking sequence, is not inhibited when Ssa1p is overexpressed. This suggests the existence of an element, proximal to or overlapping heat shock element 2, that confers sensitivity to the SSA1 protein.

Shock Proteins

The suborder Notothenioidae is comprised of Antarctic fishes, several of which have lost their ability to rapidly upregulate heat shock proteins in response to thermal stress, instead adopting a pattern of expression resembling constitutive genes. Given the cold-denaturing effect that sub-zero waters have on proteins, evolution in the Southern Ocean has likely selected for increased expression of molecular chaperones. These selective pressures may have also enabled retention of gene duplicates, bolstering quantitative output of cytosolic heat shock proteins (HSPs). Given that newly duplicated genes are under more relaxed selection, it is plausible that gene duplication enabled altered regulation of such highly conserved genes. To test for evidence of gene duplication, copy number of various isoforms within major heat shock gene families were characterized via qPCR and compared between the Antarctic notothen, Trematomus bernacchii, which lost the inducible heat shock response, and the non-Antarctic notothen, Notothenia angustata, which maintains an inducible heat shock response. The results indicate duplication of isoforms within the hsp70 and hsp40 super families have occurred in the genome of T. bernacchii. The findings suggest gene duplications may have been critical in maintaining protein folding efficiency in the sub-zero waters and provided an evolutionary mechanism of alternative regulation of these conserved gene families.

Exercise And Training

Selye (1936) described how organisms react to various external stimuli (i.e., stressors). These reactions generally follow a programmed series of events and help the organism adapt to the imposed stress. The heat shock response is a common cellular reaction to external stressors, including physical activity. A characteristic set of proteins is synthesised shortly after the organism is exposed to stress. Researchers have not determined how heat shock proteins affect the exercise response. However, their role in adaptation to exercise and training might he inferred, since the synthetic patterns correlate well with the stress adaptation syndrome that Selye described. This review addresses the 70 kilodalton heat shock protein family (HSP70), the most strongly induced heat shock proteins. This paper provides an overview of the general heat shock response and a brief review of literature on HSP70 function, structure, regulation, and potential applications. Potential applications in health, exercise, and medicine are provided. Key words: heat shock, protein, exercise
