We have previously reported that a novel 40 kDa protein is induced by heat shock and several environmental stresses in mammalian and avian cells and that the N-terminal amino acid sequence of this 40 kDa protein has homology with the bacterial DnaJ heat-shock protein. We have purified this protein (40 kDa heat-shock protein, hsp40) from HeLa cells by modified two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and generated a polyclonal antibody against hsp40. This antibody was highly specific for human hsp40 and cross-reacted weakly with rat and Chinese hamster hsp40. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed that the hsp40 in HeLa cells accumulates in the nucleus, especially in the nucleolus, during heat shock and returns to the cytoplasm during the recovery period. The kinetics of the accumulation in the nucleoli and subsequent return to the cytoplasm of hsp40 was similar to that of hsp70. In addition, hsp40 was co-localized with hsc70(p73) in heat-shocked HeLa cells as demonstrated by double immunofluorescence staining. These results suggest that hsp40 (a DnaJ homologue) and hsp70 (a DnaK homologue) may act in concert to repair (refold) denatured proteins and protein aggregates in the nuclei and nucleoli of heat-shocked HeLa cells.

Rats were treated by moxibustion at the point of hip muscle, and intramuscular temperature was kept at 40°C for 15 minutes. The rats were sacrificed under deep anesthesia and the muscular tissues were excised immediately, three hours and 24 hours after stimulation. Proteins were extracted from the homogenized and centrifuged tissues of the stimulated rats and control rats. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the proteins was carried out. Heat-shock protein (hsp) with molecular weight of 70,000 (hsp 70), 85,000 (hsp 85) and 100,000 (hsp 100) was detected in rats sacrificed three hours after the stimulation by moxibustion. Protein patterns were analyzed and the ratios of the hsps were obtained.

Microtubule Inhibitors

A major cellular protein (P2; approximately 70 kilodaltons) which is altered in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell mutants resistant to the microtubule inhibitors colchicine and podophyllotoxin has been shown to correspond to the constitutive form of the 70-kilodalton heat shock protein (hsc70). The inference that P2 and hsc70 are the same protein is based on the following observations: (i) migration of P2 in two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels in the same position as that reported for hsc70; (ii) cross-reactivity of a monoclonal antibody which reacts with both the constitutive and induced forms of hsp70 with the P2 spot from wild-type CHO cells and with both P2 and a mutant form of P2 in a CHO cell mutant; (iii) specific reactivity of a polyclonal antibody to P2 with both the constitutive and heat-induced forms of hsp70 in human cells; (iv) identical immunofluorescent staining of dot/patchlike structures with both P2 and hsp70 antibodies in human and CHO cells; and (v) a cDNA clone for hsc70 has been isolated and sequenced from wild-type CHO cells. The in vitro transcription and translation product of this cDNA has been shown to comigrate with the P2 protein spot in two-dimensional gels, indicating their identity. The fact that there is an alteration in hsc70 in mutants resistant to antimitotic drugs suggests a role for this protein in the in vivo assembly and function of microtubules.

Electrophoresis Technique

Mouse lymphocyte H-2 and Ia glycoproteins have been analyzed with a two-dimensional (2-D) acrylamide gel electrophoresis technique, in which proteins are separated first according to their charge in isoelectrofocusing gels and then according to their size in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels. Individual polypeptide chains from radiolabeled cells are resolved as discrete spots on autoradiograms of the gels, forming patterns which are characteristic of the proteins in the sample. 2-D gels of H-2K, H-2D, and Ia glycoproteins immunoprecipitated from 35S-methionine-labeled cells reveal that these proteins exist in the cells as complex arrays of molecules heterogeneous in both size and charge. Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed radioiodination of lymphocyte surfaces labels only subsets of the total H-2 and Ia molecules with 125I, indicating that some of the molecules may represent cytoplasmic precursors of the cell surface proteins. This theory is supported by the kinetics of labeling of various spots in 35S-methionine pulse-chase experiments. The 2-D gel patterns obtained for both H-2 and Ia antigens have also been shown to be haplotype-specific and independent of the genetic background.

Stimulation Of

During the lytic infection of monkey and mouse cells with simian virus 40 and polyoma virus, respectively, the preferentially increased synthesis of two host proteins of 92,000 and 72,000 Mr was observed by 15 to 20 h after infection besides the general stimulation of most cellular proteins. The incubation of uninfected monkey and mouse cell cultures for 30 to 60 min at 43.5 degrees C induced the enhanced synthesis of at least three proteins of 92,000, 72,000 and 70,000 Mr, the last one being the major heat shock protein of mammalian cells. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and partial proteolytic digestion confirmed that the same 92,000- and 72,000-Mr proteins are stimulated by virus infection and thermal treatment. In simian virus 40-infected CV-1 cells, we also observed the weak stimulation of a 70,000-Mr protein comigrating in gel electrophoresis with the major heat shock protein. The 92,000-, 72,000- and 70,000-Mr proteins of monkey cells are structurally very similar to the corresponding proteins of mouse cells. In immunoprecipitations, no specific association of these proteins to simian virus 40 T antigens was noticed.

The polypeptides synthesized during the cell cycle of HeLa cells were analyzed by means of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography under conditions in which the position of 700 polypeptides (acidic and basic) could be reproducibly assessed. Mitotic cells obtained by mechanical detachment and synchronized cells in other stages of the cell cycle were labeled with [35S]methionine for 30-min pulses or for long terms starting at the beginning of each phase. Visual comparison of the polypeptide maps obtained in the different stages of the cell cycle showed that these were strikingly similar, and there was no indication that the synthesis of any of the detected polypeptides was confined to only one of the cell cycle phases. Quantitation of 99 abundant polypeptides (acidic and basic) in pulse-labeled and long-term labeled cells revealed that the relative amount (i.e., the rate of synthesis) of most polypeptides, including total actin, alpha-actinin, 6 abundant basic nonhistone proteins, and 13 major acidic proteins present in Triton cytoskeletons, remains constant throughout the cell cycle. Among the few variable polypeptides (markers), we have identified alpha- and beta-tubulin (increase in M), the subunit of the 100-A filament protein "fibroblast type" (decreases in M), and a 36,000 mol wt acidic cytoarchitectural protein that increases in S. A few other unidentified polypeptides have also been found to vary in M and in M and G2, but no marker was found in G1.
