Thermophilic organisms from each of the three phylogenetic domains (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya) acquired thermotolerance after heat shock. Bacillus caldolyticus grown at 60 degrees C and heat shocked at 69 degrees C for 10 min showed thermotolerance at 74 degrees C, Sulfolobus shibatae grown at 70 degrees C and heat shocked at 88 degrees C for 60 min showed thermotolerance at 95 degrees C, and Thermomyces lanuginosus grown at 50 degrees C and heat shocked at 55 degrees C for 60 min showed thermotolerance at 58 degrees C. Determinations of protein synthesis during heat shock revealed differences in the dominant heat shock proteins for each species. For B. caldolyticus, a 70-kDa protein dominated while for S. shibatae, a 55-kDa protein dominated and for T. lanuginosus, 31- to 33-kDa proteins dominated. Reagents that disrupted normal protein synthesis during heat shock prevented the enhanced thermotolerance.  相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to a 43 degrees C, 15-min heat shock to study the relationship between protein synthesis and the development of thermotolerance. The 43 degrees C heat shock triggered the synthesis of three protein families having molecular weights of 110,000, 90,000, and 65,000 (HSP). These proteins were synthesized at 37 and 46 degrees C. This heat shock also induced the development of thermotolerance, which was measured by incubating the cells at 46 degrees C 4 h after the 43 degrees C heat treatment. CHO cells were also exposed to 20 micrograms/ml of cycloheximide for 30 min at 37 degrees C, 15 min at 43 degrees C, and 4 h at 37 degrees C. This treatment inhibited the enhanced synthesis of the Mr 110,000, 90,000, and 65,000 proteins. The cycloheximide was then washed out and the cells were incubated at 46 degrees C. HSP synthesis did not recover during the 46 degrees C incubation. This cycloheximide treatment also partially inhibited the development of thermotolerance. These results suggest that for CHO cells to express thermotolerance when exposed to the supralethal temperature of 46 degrees C protein synthesis is necessary.  相似文献

Acquisition of thermotolerance in response to a preconditioning heat treatment at 40 degrees C was studied in mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking a specific heat shock protein or the ability to synthesize proteins at 40 degrees C. A mutant carrying a deletion of heat shock protein hsp 104 and the corresponding wildtype strain were both highly sensitive to heat stress at 50.4 degrees C without preconditioning but both acquired almost the same level of thermotolerance after 60 min of preconditioning. Both strains showed equal induction of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase and accumulated equal levels of trehalose during the treatment. The conditional mutant ts--187 synthesized no proteins during the preconditioning heat treatment but nevertheless acquired thermotolerance, albeit to a lesser degree than the corresponding wildtype strain. Induction of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase and accumulation of trehalose were reduced to a similar extent. These results show that acquisition of thermotolerance and accumulation of trehalose are closely correlated during heat preconditioning and are modulated by protein synthesis but do not require it.  相似文献

Yeast thermotolerance does not require protein synthesis.   总被引:16,自引:5,他引:11       下载免费PDF全文
Heat shock at 37 degrees C induces synthesis of stress (heat shock) proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and also induces thermotolerance. Amino acid analogs that are powerful inducers of stress protein synthesis failed to induce thermotolerance, suggesting that the stress proteins do not play a causal role in acquired thermotolerance at 37 degrees C. This suggestion was confirmed by the observation that protein synthesis was not required for the induction of thermotolerance at 37 degrees C.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Exposure of cells to heat induces thermotolerance, a transient resistance to subsequent heat challenges. It has been shown that thermotolerance is correlated in time with the enhanced synthesis of heat shock proteins. In this study, the association of induced heat shock proteins with various cellular fractions was investigated and the heat-induced changes in skeletal protein composition in thermotolerant and control cells was compared. All three major heat shock proteins induced in Chinese hamster fibroblasts after a 46 degrees C, 4-min heat treatment (70, 87, and 110 kDa) were purified with the cytoplasmic fraction, whereas only the 70-kDa protein was also found in other cell fractions, including that containing the cellular skeleton. Immediately after a second heat treatment at 45 degrees C for 45 min, the 110-kDa protein from thermotolerant cells also purified extensively with the cellular skeletal fraction. In this regard, the 110-kDa protein behaved similarly to many other cellular proteins, since we observed an overall temperature-dependent increase in the total labeled protein content of the high-salt-resistant cellular skeletal fraction after heat shock. Pulse-chase studies demonstrated that this increased protein content gradually returned to normal levels after a 3-hr incubation at 37 degrees C. The alteration or recovery kinetics of the total labeled protein content of the cellular skeletal fraction after heat shock did not correlate with the dramatic increase in survival observed in thermotolerant cells. The relationship between heat shock proteins and thermotolerance, therefore, does not correlate directly with changes in the heat-induced cellular alterations leading to differences in protein fractionation.  相似文献

Heat shock protein synthesis and thermotolerance in Salmonella typhimurium   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The resistance of stationary phase Salmonella typhimurium to heating at 55 degrees C was greater in cells grown in nutritionally rich than in minimal media, but in all media tested resistance was enhanced by exposing cells to a primary heat shock at 48 degrees C. Chloramphenicol reduced the acquisition of thermotolerance in all media but did not completely prevent it in any. The onset of thermotolerance was accompanied by increased synthesis of major heat shock proteins of molecular weight about 83, 72, 64 and 25 kDa. When cells were shifted from 48 degrees C to 37 degrees C, however, thermotolerance was rapidly lost with no corresponding decrease in the levels of these proteins. There is thus no direct relationship between thermotolerance and the cellular content of the major heat shock proteins. One minor protein of molecular weight about 34 kDa disappeared rapidly following a temperature down-shift. Its presence in the cell was thus correlated with the thermotolerant state.  相似文献

Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are known to acquire thermotolerance in response to the stresses of starvation or heat shock. We show here through the use of cell cycle inhibitors that blockage of yeast cells in the G1, S, or G2 phases of the mitotic cell cycle is not a stress that induces thermotolerance; arrested cells remained as sensitive to thermal killing as proliferating cells. These G1- or S-phase-arrested cells were unimpaired in the acquisition of thermotolerance when subjected to a mild heat shock by incubation at 37 degrees C. One cell cycle inhibitor, o-phenanthroline, did in fact cause cells to become thermotolerant but without induction of the characteristic pattern of heat shock proteins. Thermal induction of heat shock protein synthesis was unaffected; the o-phenanthroline-treated cells could still synthesize heat shock proteins upon transfer to 37 degrees C. Use of a novel mutant conditionally defective only for the resumption of proliferation from stationary phase (M. A. Drebot, G. C. Johnston, and R. A. Singer, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84:7948-7952, 1987) indicated that o-phenanthroline inhibition produces a stationary-phase arrest, a finding which is consistent with the increased thermotolerance and regulated cessation of proliferation exhibited by the inhibited cells. These findings show that the acquired thermotolerance of cells is unrelated to blockage of the mitotic cell cycle or to the rapid synthesis of the characteristic spectrum of heat shock proteins.  相似文献

After sodium arsenite (100 microM) treatment, the synthesis of three major heat shock protein families (HSPs; Mr = 110,000, 87,000, and 70,000), as studied with one-dimensional gels, was enhanced twofold relative to that of unheated cells. The increase of unique HSPs, if studied with two-dimensional gels, would probably be much greater. In parallel, thermotolerance was observed as a 100,000-fold increase in survival from 10(-6) to 10(-1) after 4 hr at 43 degrees C, and as a thermotolerance ratio (TTR) of 2-3 at 10(-3) isosurvival for heating at 45.5 degrees C. Cycloheximide (CHM: 10 micrograms/ml) or puromycin (PUR: 100 micrograms/ml), which inhibited total protein synthesis and HSP synthesis by 95%, completely suppressed the development of thermotolerance when either drug was added after sodium arsenite treatment and removed prior to the subsequent heat treatment. Therefore, thermotolerance induced by arsenite treatment correlated with an increase in newly synthesized HSPs. However, with or without arsenite treatment, CHM or PUR added 2-6 hr before heating and left on during heating caused a 10,000-100,000-fold enhancement of survival when cells were heated at 43 degrees C for 4 hr, even though very little synthesis of heat shock proteins occurred. Moreover, these cells manifesting resistance to heating at 43 degrees C after CHM treatment were much different than those manifesting resistance to 43 degrees C after arsenite treatment. Arsenite-treated cells showed a great deal of thermotolerance (TTR of about 10) when they were heated at 45 degrees C after 5 hr of heating at 43 degrees C, compared with less thermotolerance (TTR of about 2) for the CHM-treated cells heated at 45 degrees C after 5 hr of heating at 43 degrees C. Therefore, there are two different phenomena. The first is thermotolerance after arsenite treatment (observed at 43 degrees C or 45.5 degrees C) that apparently requires synthesis of HSPs. The second is resistance to heat after CHM or PUR treatment before and during heating (observed at 43 degrees C with little resistance at 45.5 degrees C) that apparently does not require synthesis of HSPs. This phenomenon not requiring the synthesis of HSPs also was observed by the large increase in thermotolerance to 45 degrees C caused by heating at 43 degrees C, with or without CHM, after cells were incubated for 6 hr following arsenite pretreatment. For both phenomena, a model based on synthesis and redistribution of HSPs is presented.  相似文献

For Tetrahymena thermophila cells to survive extended periods of time at 43 degrees C, they must continuously synthesize heat shock proteins. For its translational machinery to function at 43 degrees C, T. thermophila requires either prior nonlethal heat shock treatment or brief treatment with partially inhibiting doses of cycloheximide or emetine. We have identified and characterized a mutant strain of T. thermophila (MC-3) in which prior nonlethal heat shock does not prevent protein synthesis inactivation at 43 degrees C. In addition, treatment of MC-3 cells with either of the antibiotics that normally confer 43 degrees C thermoprotection on wild-type cells elicited no similar thermoprotective response in these cells. Despite these phenotypic characteristics, by other criteria MC-3 synthesized a normal, functional array of heat shock proteins at 40 degrees C, a nonlethal heat shock protein-inducing temperature. The mutation in MC-3 which prevents the thermostabilization of protein synthesis by nonlethal heat shock is, by genetic criteria, most likely the same one which prevents the induction of thermotolerance by drug treatments. We present evidence that this mutation may affect some ribosome-associated functions.  相似文献

In this study we have investigated the acquisition of thermotolerance in a Xenopus laevis kidney A6 epithelial cell line at both the level of cell survival and translation. In cell survival studies, A6 cells were incubated at temperatures ranging from 22 to 35 degrees degrees C for 2 h followed by a thermal challenge at 39 degrees degrees C for 2 h and a recovery period at 22 degrees C for 24 h. Optimal acquisition of thermotolerance occurred at 33 degrees degrees C. For example, exposure of A6 cells to 39 degrees degrees C for 2 h resulted in only 3.4% survival of the cells whereas prior exposure to 33 degrees C for 2 h enhanced the survival rate to 69%. This state of thermotolerance in A6 cells was detectable after 1 h at 33 degrees C and was maintained even after 18 h of incubation. Cycloheximide inhibited the acquisition of thermotolerance at 33 degrees C suggesting the requirement for ongoing protein synthesis. The optimal temperature for the acquisition of translational thermotolerance also occurred at 33 degrees C. Treatment of A6 cells at 39 degrees C for 2 h resulted in an inhibition of labeled amino acid incorporation into protein which recovered to approximately 14% of control after 19 h at 22 degrees C whereas cells treated at 33 degrees C for 2 h prior to the thermal challenge recovered to 58% of control levels. These translationally thermotolerant cells displayed relatively high levels of the heat shock proteins hsp30, hsp70, and hsp90 compared to pretreatment at 22, 28, 30, or 35 degrees C. These studies demonstrate that Xenopus A6 cells can acquire a state of thermotolerance and that it is correlated with the synthesis of heat shock proteins.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to determine the ability of trophectoderm from preimplantation ovine embryos to synthesize hsp70 in response to heat shock and to identify conditions which induce translational thermotolerance in this tissue. Day 15 embryos were collected, and proteins synthesized in 1.5-mm sections of trophectoderm were radioactively labeled with (35)S-methionine. One-dimensional SDS-PAGE gels, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and Western blots were utilized to characterize the heat shock response and to examine the induction of translational thermotolerance. Increased synthesis of the 70 kDa heat shock proteins and a protein with an approximate molecular weight of 15 to 20 kDa was observed with heat shock (> or = 42 degrees C). Total protein synthesis decreased (P < 0.05) with increased intensity of heat shock. At 45 degrees C, protein synthesis was suppressed with little or no synthesis of all proteins including hsp70. Recovery of protein synthesis following a severe heat shock (45 degrees C for 20 min) occurred faster (P < 0.05) in trophectoderm pretreated with a mild heat shock (42 degrees C for 30 min) than trophectoderm not pretreated with mild heat. In summary, trophoblastic tissue obtained from ovine embryos exhibit the characteristic "heatshock" response similar to that described for other mammalian systems. In addition, a sublethal heat shock induced the ability of the tissue to resume protein synthesis following severe heat stress. Since maintaining protein synthesis is crucial to embryonic survival, manipulation of the heat-shock response may provide a method to enhance embryonic survival.  相似文献

The extreme thermophile Sulfolobus sp. strain B12 exhibits an acquired thermotolerance response. Thus, survival of cells from a 70 degrees C culture at the lethal temperature of 92 degrees C was enhanced by as much as 6 orders of magnitude over a 2-h period if the culture was preheated to 88 degrees C for 60 min or longer before being exposed to the lethal temperature. In eubacteria and eucaryotes, acquired thermotolerance correlates with the induced synthesis of a dozen or so proteins known as heat shock proteins. In this Sulfolobus species, it correlates with the preferential synthesis of primarily one major protein (55 kilodaltons) and, to a much lesser extent, two minor proteins (28 and 35 kilodaltons). Since the synthesis of all other proteins was radically reduced and these proteins were apparently not degraded or exported, their relative abundance within the cell increased during the time the cells were becoming thermotolerant. They could not yet be related to known heat shock proteins. In immunoassays, they were not cross-reactive with antibodies against heat shock proteins from Escherichia coli (DnaK and GroE), which are highly conserved between eubacteria and eucaryotes. However, it appears that if acquired thermotolerance depends on the synthesis of protective proteins, then in this extremely thermophilic archaebacterium it depends primarily on one protein.  相似文献

We investigated whether or not a 50 kDa glycoprotein might play an important role in protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance development in CHO cells. When cells were heated for 10 min at 45.5 degrees C, they became thermotolerant to a heat treatment at 45.5 degrees C administered 12 hr later. The thermotolerance ratio at 10(-3) isosurvival was 4.4. The cellular heat shock response leads to enhanced glycosylation of a 50 kDa protein. The glycosylation of proteins including a 50 kDa glycoprotein was inhibited by treatment with various concentrations of tunicamycin (0.2-2 micrograms/ml). The development of thermotolerance was not affected by treatment with tunicamycin after the initial heat treatment, although 2 micrograms/ml tunicamycin inhibited glycosylation by 95%. However, inhibiting protein synthesis with cycloheximide (10 micrograms/ml) after the initial heat treatment partially inhibited the development of thermotolerance. Nevertheless, there was no further reduction of thermotolerance development by treatment with a combination of 2 micrograms/ml tunicamycin and 10 micrograms/ml cycloheximide. These data suggest that development of thermotolerance, especially protein synthesis-independent thermotolerance, is not correlated with increased glycosylation of the 50 kDa protein.  相似文献

We investigated the correlation between the development of acute thermotolerance and the phosphorylation, synthesis, and expression of the HSP28 family in murine L929 cells. Following heating at 43 degrees C for 30 min, thermotolerance developed rapidly in exponential-phase cells and reached its maximum 4-9 h after heat shock. Maximal thermal resistance was maintained for 24 h and then gradually decayed. However, heat-induced phosphorylation of HSP28 was not detected. Furthermore, HSP28 synthesis during incubation at 37 degrees C for 12 h following heat shock was not detected by [3H]-leucine labeling followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In addition, Northern blots failed to demonstrate expression of the HSP28 gene. Unlike HSP28, the expression of constitutive and inducible HSP70 genes, along with the synthesis of their proteins, was observed during incubation at 37 degrees C after heat shock. These results demonstrate that HSP28 synthesis and its phosphorylation are not required to develop acute thermotolerance in L929 cells.  相似文献

Although acquired thermotolerance has been linked to the induction of heat shock proteins, the molecular mechanism(s) by which cells become resistant to heat is unknown. The present study shows a strong correlation between the survival of cells following heat shock and the rate of recovery of protein, total RNA, and rRNA synthesis. Increasing exposure of CHO cells to 45 degrees C was found to decrease survival and cause a lengthening delay in these synthetic processes. The same reciprocal correlation was seen in thermotolerant cells. As thermotolerance develops, more cells survive a heat challenge and the delay in synthesis decreases. These data argue that enhanced recovery of protein and RNA synthesis is one factor which plays a key role in thermotolerance. The involvement of rRNA synthesis was further investigated by using actinomycin D at 0.1 microgram m1(-1), a concentration at which rRNA synthesis is selectively inhibited. When the drug was present during the recovery from a challenge heat treatment, the survival of thermotolerant cells was approximately 3-fold lower than expected from the mild toxicity of the drug. As this could not be accounted for by an interaction of the drug with the response of cells to single heat treatments, it is concluded that the drug inhibits the expression of thermotolerance in cells which would otherwise express a full degree of thermotolerance. The time and concentration dependence of this effect indicates that the drug acts though inhibition of rRNA synthesis. Therefore, enhanced recovery of RNA synthesis, presumably rRNA synthesis, is identified as one of the mechanisms responsible for enhanced survival of thermotolerant cells following heat shock.  相似文献

Postimplantation stage rat embryos (6-10 somites) undergo abnormal development after exposure to a temperature of 43 degrees C for 30 min. A heat shock of 43 degrees C for 30 min also induces the synthesis of a set of eight heat shock proteins (hsps) with molecular masses ranging from 28,000 to 82,000 Da. The synthesis of these hsps is rapidly induced after the heat shock is applied and rapidly decays after embryos are returned to 37 degrees C. A heat shock of 42 degrees C for 30 min has no effect on rat embryo growth and development, but does induce the synthesis of three hsps. The most prominent of these three is believed to be the typical mammalian 70 kDa hsp. Furthermore, a 42 degrees C, 30-min heat shock followed by a 43 degrees C 30-min heat shock leads to partial protection from the embryotoxic effects of a single exposure at 43 degrees C, i.e., thermotolerance.  相似文献

Studies were initiated to determine the extent to which reduced glutathione (GSH) may be involved in the capacity of cultured rat embryos to develop heat-induced tolerance to the deleterious effects of exposure to high temperatures (heat shock). Investigations of the modulation of dysmorphogenic responses of embryos to heat shock (43 degrees C, 30 min) as well as to the expression of the hsp70 gene and subsequent formation of hsps indicated that the acquisition of thermotolerance by rat embryos could be significantly influenced by the inhibition of GSH synthesis. Treatment of conceptuses with L-buthionine-S,R-sulfoximine (BSO) reduced intracellular GSH concentrations and compromised the capacity of embryos to mount a thermotolerance response as assessed by alterations in indices of growth and development. Embryonic thermotolerance elicited by preexposure to 42 degrees C for 30 min was accompanied by increases in GSH to levels greater than those measured in control embryos at 37 degrees C just prior to the subsequent 43 degrees C heat exposure. Expression of hsp70 mRNA was detectable soon after elevation of the temperature to 42 degrees C and reached its highest level of accumulation 1.5 hr after the 43 degrees C heat shock. BSO treatment had little if any effect on hsp70 message levels or on the synthesis of hsp70. The fact that BSO-treatment attenuated the thermotolerance response but did not produce a decrease in hsp70 RNA or the synthesis of hsp70 suggests that hsp70 alone is not sufficient to confer thermotolerance upon cultured rat embryos.  相似文献

Heat shock proteins (hsps) were identified in a cell line from the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) exposed to elevated temperatures. Cells produced three hsps (Mr 87,000, 69,000, and 34,000) in response to a temperature shift from 26 degrees C to 37 degrees C (30-60 min) with a concomitant decrease in synthesis of most other cellular proteins. Synthesis of low Mr hsps was not evident. The heat shock response is triggered within 30 min at temperatures from 33 degrees C to 41 degrees C. At temperatures greater than 41 degrees C protein synthesis was shut down. Within 2-3 h after return to 26 degrees C, synthesis of proteins repressed at the higher temperatures resumed production while the major hsps disappear. Heat shock proteins were not produced in the presence of actinomycin D. Evaluations on the role of hsps in conferring thermotolerance to the cells showed an increase in cell viability in heat-shocked cells over non-heat-shocked cells (after 3 and 10 days) when subsequently placed at 45 degrees C for 1 h, a normally lethal temperature. Heat shock alone had little effect on subsequent cell viability or growth at 26 degrees C. These results suggest that hsps produced by these cells may aid in the maintenance of cell integrity and thus play a transitory role in thermotolerance.  相似文献

The pattern of synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSP) and thermotolerance to elevated temperatures during the development of the malaria vector Anopheles stephensi normally reared at 28 +/- 2 degrees C was studied using SDS-PAGE. In total twelve heat shock proteins (i.e. 31, 33, 38, 43, 44, 51, 57, 62, 69, 71, 113 and 121 kD were induced by heat shock during various stages of development. Eight polypeptides (HSP during one or other of the instars) appeared during normal development of the adult, which showed very little response towards heat shock. Only two polypeptides (57 and 69 kD) were induced while the 22.5 kD protein disappeared during adult life. The HSP 62 and 71 kD induced during the larval stages showed a sharp decline in quantity in male and female adults upon heat shock. Three HSP (31, 43 and 44 kD) were induced in pupae due to heat shock. The synthesis of HSP in A. stephensi was correlated with the various morphological and physiological events occurring during development.  相似文献
