三种水产药物对近江牡蛎(Crassostrea ariakensis)的影响

用3种水产药物硫酸铜、孔雀石绿、甲醛分别设置浓度梯度,对正常和天然患病近江牡蛎进行处理,连续观察7d,发现3种药物对正常近江牡蛎的影响强度为孔雀石绿〉甲醛〉硫酸铜。对患病近江牡蛎的致死率显著高于对正常近江牡蛎的致死率,即使用同一药物的更低浓度处理患病近江牡蛎,其死亡率也显著高于更高浓度处理的正常近江牡蛎的死亡率。在患病近江牡蛎药物处理实验中,对照组有明显死亡,但死亡率低于药物处理组。实验结果表明水产药物残留对近江牡蛎,特别是对患病近江牡蛎有较大影响,会导致其死亡率明显上升,这也可能是引起近江牡蛎大规模死亡的原因之一。     

混合暴露条件下近江牡蛎对重金属的积累与释放特征

选择近江牡蛎作为试验生物,研究了混合暴露条件下8种重金属在近江牡蛎体内的积累和释放特征.结果表明: 近江牡蛎对重金属Pb、Cu、Ni、Cd、Cr和Hg有很强的累积能力,可较好地指示溶液中的重金属浓度水平,但对重金属Zn和As的积累能力很小,不能真实反映溶液中重金属Zn和As含量的变化水平.在随后35 d的释放阶段,8种重金属在近江牡蛎体内的含量没有明显变化,表明近江牡蛎对重金属的释放能力较差.双箱动力学模型可较好地反映混合暴露条件下近江牡蛎对重金属的积累特征,但不适合对其释放特征进行描述.     

两种杀虫剂对近江牡蛎(Crassostrea ariakensis)的致死作用

为了阐明环境污染物在近江牡蛎死亡中的作用,设置两种浓度梯度的敌百虫和溴氰菊酯,分别处理正常和天然患病近江牡蛎,研究了这两种杀虫刺对近江牡蛎的致死作用。结果表明,浓度为0．005～0．1（mg／l）时,敌百虫对正常近江牡蛎不致死;0．001～0．5（mg/l）敌百虫对天然患病近江牡蛎致死,随浓度增加,死亡率从30％上升到65％。溴氰菊酯对正常和天然患病近江牡蛎均有致死作用,对患病牡蛎的致死作用比对正常牡蛎强,且随浓度增加,死亡率呈上升趋势。溴氰菊酯对近江牡蛎的致死作用远强于敌百虫的作用。     

近江牡蛎HSP70基因对溶藻弧菌感染的反应

采用实时荧光定量RT-PCR方法,检测了注射溶藻弧菌(Vibiro alginolyticus)后近江牡蛎鳃,闭壳肌,消化腺,外套膜,心脏以及血细胞中HSP70基因的表达变化。结果显示近江牡蛎这五种器官组织中的HSP70基因表达量均出现显著性高表达,且在鳃、外套膜和血细胞中的HSP70基因表达变化规律表现为典型的时间依赖性。血细胞中,显著高表达的峰值出现在24h,至72h恢复到对照水平,高表达持续时间最长:鳃中表达峰值出现时间较早,在第3h,随后在第12h便恢复到对照水平;外套膜,消化腺以及心脏中的峰值分别出现在6h,6h和3h,而在闭壳肌组织中,没出现显著性高表达。由此可见,近江牡蛎HSP70s可能在机体抗菌免疫过程中起了重要作用。

Cadmium affects the expression of heat shock protein 90 and metallothionein mRNA in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas

Cadmium (Cd) is a widespread nonessential heavy metal that enters the aquatic environment as a result of natural processes and human activities such as wastewater production, agriculture, and mining. To determine the effects of Cd on organisms, we investigated its time- and dose-related effects on mRNA levels of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and metallothionein (MT) in the gill and digestive gland and changes enzyme levels in the hemolymph of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Full-length HSP90 cDNA was isolated from C. gigas by rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) techniques and found to contain 2154 nucleotides, including an open reading frame, and was predicted to encode a protein of 717 amino acids. BLAST analysis indicated that the HSP90 gene of C. gigas shared high homology with known HSP90 genes of other mollusks. The expression of HSP90 mRNA increased significantly with exposure to 0.01 ppm Cd for 11 days or 0.05 or 0.1 ppm Cd for 7 days. The expression of MT mRNA increased significantly with exposure to 0.01, 0.05, or 0.1 ppm Cd for 11 days. Glutamate oxaloacetate and glutamate pyruvate levels increased significantly with exposure to 0.05 or 0.1 ppm Cd for 7 days. These results indicate that HSP90 and MT play important roles in the physiological changes related to metabolism and cell protection that occur in Pacific oysters exposed to Cd.     

Differences in heat shock protein 70 expression during larval and early spat development in the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin, 1791)

For a variety of species, changes in the expression of heat shock proteins (HSP) have been linked to key developmental changes, i.e., gametogenesis, embryogenesis, and metamorphosis. Many marine invertebrates are known to have a biphasic life cycle where pelagic larvae go through settlement and metamorphosis as they transition to the benthic life stage. A series of experiments were run to examine the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) during larval and early spat (initial benthic phase) development in the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica. In addition, the impact of thermal stress on HSP 70 expression during these early stages was studied. C. virginica larvae and spat expressed three HSP 70 isoforms, two constitutive, HSC 77 and HSC 72, and one inducible, HSP 69. We found differences in the expression of both the constitutive and inducible forms of HSP 70 among larval and early juvenile stages and in response to thermal stress. Low expression of HSP 69 during early larval and spat development may be associated with the susceptibility of these stages to environmental stress. Although developmental regulation of HSP 70 expression has been widely recognized, changes in its expression during settlement and metamorphosis of marine invertebrates are still unknown. The results of the current study demonstrated a reduction of HSP 70 expression during settlement and metamorphosis in the Eastern oyster, C. virginica.     

Characterization of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (HSP90)-associated ATP/GTPase

The 90 kDa heat shock protein (HSP90) is an ATP-binding molecular chaperone with an associated ATPase activity having nucleoplasmin and HSP70-binding homology domains and containing Ca-binding EF-hands and a nuclear localization signal. Here we characterize the HSP90-associated ATPase and show that it is (i) a P-type ATPase inhibited by molybdate and vanadate, (ii) able to hydrolyze methylfluorescein phosphate with a 5–6-fold higher affinity, (iii) a 3-times better GTPase than ATPase in the presence of calcium and (iv) HSP27 and F-actin, but not HSP10 can “convert” the HSP90-associated ATPase activity to HSP90 autokinase activity. The HSP90-associated ATP/GTPase may participate in the regulation of complex formation of HSP90 with other proteins, such as F-actin, tubulin and heat shock proteins.     

Calmodulin-dependent and -independent activation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase by heat shock protein 90

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), which generates the endogenous vasodilator, nitric oxide (NO), is highly regulated by post-translational modifications and protein interactions. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) binds directly to eNOS, augmenting NO production. We have used purified proteins to characterize further the mechanism by which HSP90 increases eNOS activity at low (100 nm) and high (10 microm) Ca(2+) levels. In the presence of calmodulin (CaM), HSP90 increased eNOS activity dose dependently at both low and high Ca(2+) concentrations. This effect was abolished by the specific HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) at both calcium concentrations. The EC(50) values of eNOS for both Ca(2+) and CaM were decreased in the presence of HSP90. HSP90 also significantly increased the rate of NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reduction by eNOS at both low and high Ca(2+) concentrations. HSP90 bound to eNOS in a dose-dependent manner, and the amount of bound HSP90 also increased with increasing Ca(2+)/CaM. At 100 nm Ca(2+), HSP90 promoted dose-dependent CaM binding to eNOS that was fully inhibitable by GA. At high calcium, HSP90 did not affect CaM binding to eNOS, but GA inhibited HSP90 binding to eNOS. At high Ca(2+), HSP90 caused the V(max) of eNOS for l-arginine to increase by 2-fold, but the K(m) of eNOS was unchanged. HSP90 bound preferentially to CaM-prebound eNOS and significantly increased both its NO synthesis and reductase activities. These data support that HSP90 promotes eNOS activity by two mechanisms: (i) a CaM-dependent mechanism operative at low Ca(2+) concentrations, characterized by an increase in the affinity of eNOS for CaM and (ii) a CaM-independent mechanism apparent at high Ca(2+) concentrations, characterized by stimulation of eNOS reductase activity without further change in CaM binding. These studies contribute to our understanding of eNOS activation by HSP90 and provide a basis for in vitro studies of other eNOS-interacting proteins.     

甜菜夜蛾HSP90基因克隆及高温胁迫下其表达量的变化

为阐明热激蛋白90（heat shock protein 90, HSP90）在甜菜夜蛾Spodoptera exigua (Hübner)幼虫抵抗高温过程中的作用, 克隆了其HSP90基因cDNA全长序列, 并检测了在系列高温胁迫下不同龄期幼虫体内其相对表达量。根据已报道的热激蛋白90基因序列同源性设计简并引物, 利用反转录聚合酶链式反应（RT-PCR）结合cDNA末端快速扩增（RACE）技术成功克隆了甜菜夜蛾HSP90基因全长cDNA（GenBank登录号FJ862050）。该cDNA序列开放阅读框长2 154 bp, 编码717个氨基酸, 预测的相对分子量和等电点分别为82.6 kD和5.0。该序列具有HSP90家族的典型特征和特殊的功能结构域, 并且与多种生物的HSP90基因序列有较高的同源性。为了研究HSP90抵抗高温的作用, 构建荧光定量RT-PCR体系, 检测了37, 39, 41, 43和45℃胁迫下甜菜夜蛾不同龄期幼虫体内HSP90表达量的变化。结果表明, 高温胁迫对甜菜夜蛾幼虫体内的HSP90表达具有明显的诱导作用。幼虫体内HSP90表达量随着温度升高呈增加的趋势。43℃和45℃胁迫下, 各龄幼虫体内HSP90的表达量均显著高于常温（P< 0.05）, 但不同龄期之间没有显著差异。这说明HSP90在甜菜夜蛾幼虫抗高温中起到重要作用。     

The HSP90 complex of plants

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved and essential molecular chaperone involved in maturation and activation of signaling proteins in eukaryotes. HSP90 operates as a dimer in a conformational cycle driven by ATP binding and hydrolysis. HSP90 often functions together with co-chaperones that regulate the conformational cycle and/or load a substrate "client" protein onto HSP90. In plants, immune sensing NLR (nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing) proteins are among the few known client proteins of HSP90. In the process of chaperoning NLR proteins, co-chaperones, RAR1 and SGT1 function together with HSP90. Recent structural and functional analyses indicate that RAR1 dynamically controls conformational changes of the HSP90 dimer, allowing SGT1 to bridge the interaction between NLR proteins and HSP90. Here, we discuss the regulation of NLR proteins by HSP90 upon interaction with RAR1 and SGT1, emphasizing the recent progress in our understanding of the structure and function of the complex. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90).     

Mutational Analysis of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β Protein Kinase Together with Kinome-Wide Binding and Stability Studies Suggests Context-Dependent Recognition of Kinases by the Chaperone Heat Shock Protein 90

The heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and cell division cycle 37 (CDC37) chaperones are key regulators of protein kinase folding and maturation. Recent evidence suggests that thermodynamic properties of kinases, rather than primary sequences, are recognized by the chaperones. In concordance, we observed a striking difference in HSP90 binding between wild-type (WT) and kinase-dead (KD) glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) forms. Using model cell lines stably expressing these two GSK3β forms, we observed no interaction between WT GSK3β and HSP90, in stark contrast to KD GSK3β forming a stable complex with HSP90 at a 1:1 ratio. In a survey of 91 ectopically expressed kinases in DLD-1 cells, we compared two parameters to measure HSP90 dependency: static binding and kinase stability following HSP90 inhibition. We observed no correlation between HSP90 binding and reduced stability of a kinase after pharmacological inhibition of HSP90. We expanded our stability study to >50 endogenous kinases across four cell lines and demonstrated that HSP90 dependency is context dependent. These observations suggest that HSP90 binds to its kinase client in a particular conformation that we hypothesize to be associated with the nucleotide-processing cycle. Lastly, we performed proteomics profiling of kinases and phosphopeptides in DLD-1 cells to globally define the impact of HSP90 inhibition on the kinome.
