A gene (egl1) encoding an endoglucanase (EGL1) from Trichoderma longibrachiatum has been cloned and sequenced. This gene, homologous to the T. reesei egl1 gene, differs from it in the length of the introns (particularly the first one) and encoded protein. A cDNA fragment obtained by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends method, which takes advantage of the polymerase chain reaction, has been expressed in yeast under control of the cyc-gal inducible promoter and yeast clones able to secrete active enzyme have been obtained.

The highly conserved part of the nucleotide-binding domain of the hsp70 gene family was amplified from the soil diplopod Tachypodoiulus niger (Julidae, Diplopoda). Genomic DNA yielded 701, 549 and 540 bp sequences, whereas cDNA from heat shocked animals produced only one distinct fragment of 543 bp. The sequences could be classified as a 70 kDa heat shock protein (hsp70), the corresponding 70 kDa heat shock cognate (hsc70) and a glucose-related hsp70 homologue (grp78). Comparisons of genomic and cDNA sequences of hsc70 identified two introns within the consensus sequence. Generally, stress-70 expression levels were low, which hampered successful RT-PCR and subsequent subcloning. Following experimental heat shock, however, the spliced hsc70 was amplified predominantly, instead of its inducible homologue hsp70. This finding suggests that microevolution in this soil-dwelling arthropod is directed towards low constitutive stress-70 levels and that the capacity for stress-70 induction presumably is limited. hsc70, albeit having introns, apparently is inducible and contributes to the stress-70 response. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic pathogen associated with chronic periodontitis. Although anaerobic, P. gingivalis exhibits a high degree of aerotolerance, which enables it to survive within periodontal pockets. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of oxidative stress on protein expression in P. gingivalis to obtain a better understanding of the mechanism underlying its aerotolerance. To accomplish this, P. gingivalis cells were grown under conditions of hemin limitation (0.01 microg/mL) to avoid the oxygen protective effect of hemin on oxidative stress. The proteins were then extracted from cultures either left untreated or subjected to oxidative stress and separated by 2-DE. The resultant protein expression profiles were examined by image scanning, and those found to differ depending on the presence or absence of aeration were subjected to MALDI-MS and then analyzed using the ORF database of P. gingivalis W83 from The Institute of Genomic Research. Oxidative stress was found to affect the expression of numerous proteins in P. gingivalis cells. In particular, the levels of HtpG, GroEL, DnaK, AhpC, TPR domain protein, and trigger factor were substantially increased. 相似文献

A genetic analysis of heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis was performed in seedling leaf tissue of two maize inbred lines, their F1 hybrid and F2 progeny. Protein synthesis following a high temperature treatment was visualized by [35S]-methionine in vivo labelling and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The parental lines' HSP synthesis patterns revealed both qualitative and quantitative polymorphisms implicative of differences in HSP structural genes and regulatory factors. The F1 hybrid HSP profile indicated that synthesis of all parental HSPs conformed to dominant inheritance patterns, including complete dominance, over-dominance and co-dominance. Alleles for six low-molecularweight HSPs in F2 progeny assorted according to typical 31 Mendelian ratios for dominant gene expression. There is evidence for unlinked gene loci of four different HSP gene pairs, but data for three other HSP gene pairs were inconclusive, perhaps reflecting linkage for one pair and complex regulatory factor interactions for the other two pairs of genes. These results clearly indicate the existence of genetic variability in HSP synthesis and emphasize the potential of partitioning their roles in thermal tolerance using genetic and molecular analyses. 相似文献

A natural tolerance of various environmental stresses is typically supported by various cytoprotective mechanisms that protect macromolecules and promote extended viability. Among these are antioxidant defenses that help to limit damage from reactive oxygen species and chaperones that help to minimize protein misfolding or unfolding under stress conditions. To understand the molecular mechanisms that act to protect cells during primate torpor, the present study characterizes antioxidant and heat shock protein(HSP) responses in various organs of control(aroused)and torpid gray mouse lemurs, Microcebus murinus. Protein expression of HSP70 and HSP90 a was elevated to 1.26 and 1.49 fold, respectively, in brown adipose tissue during torpor as compared with control animals, whereas HSP60 in liver of torpid animals was 1.15 fold of that in control(P 0.05). Among antioxidant enzymes, protein levels of thioredoxin 1 were elevated to 2.19 fold in white adipose tissue during torpor, whereas Cu–Zn superoxide dismutase 1 levels rose to 1.1 fold in skeletal muscle(P 0.05). Additionally, total antioxidant capacity was increased to 1.6 fold in liver during torpor(P 0.05), while remaining unchanged in the five other tissues. Overall, our data suggest that antioxidant and HSP responses are modified in a tissue-specific manner during daily torpor in gray mouse lemurs. Furthermore, our data also show that cytoprotective strategies employed during primate torpor are distinct from the strategies in rodent hibernation as reported in previous studies. 相似文献

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a putative pathogen in human periodontal disease, possesses a 60-kDa heat shock protein (hsp60, GroEL). The GroEL homologs are known to be key molecules in auto-immune reactions because of the sequence similarity with human hsp60. In this study, B-cell epitopes on P. gingivalis GroEL (PgGroEL) were analyzed by both Western immunoblotting with truncated PgGroEL and by the multi-pin synthetic peptide approach. To examine auto-antibody production in periodontitis patients, Western immunoblotting with human gingival fibroblasts was performed. Deletion mutants were constructed from the cloned PgGroEL gene (P. gingivalis groEL), and four C-terminal truncated PgGroEL and one N-terminal truncated PgGroEL were prepared from the deletants. Sera from periodontitis patients reacted with all truncated PgGroEL used in this study. The results suggest that the B-cell epitopes were overlaid throughout PgGroEL. To determine the detailed locations of the B-cell epitope, 84 decapeptides covering the entire PgGroEL were synthesized and the serum IgG response to the peptides was examined. Epitope mapping using the synthetic peptides confirmed that the B-cell epitopes were overlaid throughout the length of PgGroEL and revealed that highly conserved peptides between PgGroEL and human hsp60 were recognized by the serum antibodies. Immuno-reactivity against human gingival fibroblasts was examined with sera from 30 periodontitis patients and 10 periodontally healthy subjects. IgG antibody against the 65-kDa antigen in human gingival fibroblasts (same molecular mass as human hsp60) was detected in two patients. Although IgG production against human hsp60 may be rare case in periodontitis patients, the results of epitope mapping demonstrated the potential of PgGroEL to cause the cross-reactions with human hsp60. 相似文献

Abstract: Activity of the stress protein, heme oxygenase-1 (hsp32; HO-1), produces carbon monoxide (CO), the potential messenger molecule for excitatory N -methyl- d -aspartate receptor-mediated events, in the hippocampus. Long-term stress caused by elevated adrenocorticoids induces pathological changes in CA1–CA3 neurons, of the hippocampus; the adrenal hormones also exacerbate damage from stress. In rats chronically treated with corticosterone, we examined expression of HO-1 and its response to thermal stress in the hippocampus. An unprecedented appearance of scattered immunoreactive astrocytes marked the molecular layer of the hippocampus in corticosterone-treated rats. Steroid treatment showed no discernible effect on whole-brain HO-1 mRNA. When these rats were subjected to hyperthermia, neurons in the CA1–CA3 area, including pyramidal cells, exhibited intense immunoreactivity for the oxygenase and a pronounced increase (∼10-fold) in number. HO-1 is essentially undetectable in this area when rats are exposed to chronic corticosterone alone or thermal stress by itself, or in control rats. In contrast, similar analysis of hilar neurons showed no apparent effect on either the number or relative intensity of HO-1-immunostained cells after treatment. Corticosterone treatment also intensified the stress response of cerebellum, including Purkinje cells and Bergmann glia in the molecular layer. In brain, despite a pronounced reduction in NO synthase activity in corticosterone-treated and/or heat-stressed animals, the level of cyclic GMP was not significantly reduced. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that responsiveness to environmental stress of CA1–CA3 neurons brought about by chronic elevation in circulating adrenocorticoids results in an increased excitatory neuronal activity and eventual hippocampal degeneration. Moreover, these findings yield further support for a role of CO in the production of cyclic GMP in the brain. 相似文献

Heat stress has been defined as the rise of temperature for a period of time higher than a threshold level, thereby permanently affecting the plant growth and development. Day or night temperature is considered as the major limiting factor for plant growth. Earlier studies reported that night temperature is an important factor in the heat reaction of the plants. Tomato cultivars capable of setting viable fruits under night temperatures above 21 °C are considered as heat-tolerant cultivars. The development of breeding objectives is generally summarized in four points: (a) cultivars with higher yield, (b) disease resistant varieties in the 1970s, (c) long shelf-life in 1980s, and (d) nutritive and taste quality during 1990s. Some unique varieties like the dwarf “Micro-Tom”, and the first transgenic tomato (FlavrSavr) were developed through breeding; they were distributed late in the 1980s.High temperature significantly affects seed, pollen viability and root expansion. Researchers have employed different parameters to evaluate the tolerance to heat stress, including membrane thermo stability, floral characteristics (Stigma exertion and antheridia cone splitting), flower number, and fruit yield per plant. Reports on pollen viability and fruit set/plant under heat stress by comparing the pollen growth and tube development in heat-treated and non-heat-stressed conditions are available in literature. The electrical conductivity (EC) have been used to evaluate the tolerance of some tomato cultivars in vitro under heat stress conditions as an indication of cell damage due to electrolyte leakage; they classified the cultivars into three groups: (a) heat tolerant, (b) moderately heat tolerant, and (c) heat sensitive.It is important to determine the range in genetic diversity for heat tolerance in tomatoes. Heat stress experiments under field conditions offer breeders information to identify the potentially heat tolerant germplasm. 相似文献

The Mediterranean land snail Xeropicta derbentina forms huge populations in Southern France. In order to characterize heat exposure and the induction of the 70-kD heat shock protein (Hsp70) response system during the life cycle of this snail, a selected population from the Vaucluse area, Provence, was investigated encompassing the issues of morphological life cycle parameters (shell size and colouration), the daily courses of heat exposure at different heights above the ground, of shell temperature, and that of the individual Hsp70 levels. The study covered all four seasons of the year 2011. Snails were found to be annual, reaching their final size in August. The shell colouration pattern showed high variation in juveniles (spring) with a strong tendency towards becoming uniformly white at old age in autumn. In all seasons, ambient air temperature decreased with increasing distance from the ground surface during daytime while remaining constantly low in the night. Overall, the Hsp70 level of individuals followed the ambient temperature during diurnal and seasonal variations. Correlation analysis revealed a positive association of individual shell temperature and Hsp70 level for the most part of the life cycle of the snails until late summer, whereas a negative correlation was found for aged animals indicating senescence effects on the capacity of the stress response system. 相似文献

Abstract The heat shock response in Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans , a capnophilic Gram-negative bacterial species that is implicated in the development of certain forms of periodontitis, was characterized. Different strains of A. actinomycetemcomitans were grown at 37, 42 and 48°C in the presence of 35 S-methionine. The bacterial cells were lysed, run on SDS-PAGE and subsequently blotted on nitrocellulose paper. After autoradiography of the blots, several protein bands from the cultures at 42°C showed an increased intensity; major bands were observed at 90, 70, and 60 kDa, but increased protein synthesis was also detected at 54, 28 and 17 kDa. Nitrocellulose blots were also incubated with a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies directed to epitopes on different heat shock proteins. Strong reactivity was found with several antibodies at the position corresponding to a molecular mass of 60 kDa. The protein is probably the GroEL homologue in A. actinomycetemcomitans , a member of the ‘common bacterial antigen’ family. 相似文献

The gene expression changes produced by moderate hypothermia are not fully known, but appear to differ in important ways from
those produced by heat shock. We examined the gene expression changes produced by moderate hypothermia and tested the hypothesis
that rewarming after hypothermia approximates a heat-shock response. Six sets of human HepG2 hepatocytes were subjected to
moderate hypothermia (31°C for 16 h), a conventional in vitro heat shock (43°C for 30 min) or control conditions (37°C), then
harvested immediately or allowed to recover for 3 h at 37°C. Expression analysis was performed with Affymetrix U133A gene
chips, using analysis of variance-based techniques. Moderate hypothermia led to distinct time-dependent expression changes,
as did heat shock. Hypothermia initially caused statistically significant, greater than or equal to twofold changes in expression
(relative to controls) of 409 sequences (143 increased and 266 decreased), whereas heat shock affected 71 (35 increased and
36 decreased). After 3 h of recovery, 192 sequences (83 increased, 109 decreased) were affected by hypothermia and 231 (146
increased, 85 decreased) by heat shock. Expression of many heat shock proteins was decreased by hypothermia but significantly
increased after rewarming. A comparison of sequences affected by thermal stress without regard to the magnitude of change
revealed that the overlap between heat and cold stress was greater after 3 h of recovery than immediately following thermal
stress. Thus, while some overlap occurs (particularly after rewarming), moderate hypothermia produces extensive, time-dependent
gene expression changes in HepG2 cells that differ in important ways from those induced by heat shock. 相似文献
