热休克因子1是真核细胞应激反应时热休克蛋白表达的主要转录调控因子。它在非应激条件下被抑制性复合体抑制以非活化形式存在,只有在受到应激时才会暂时活化。通过基因突变得到的正显性突变体在不需要外界环境刺激的条件下就能激活细胞内源性热休克蛋白的表达。环境神经毒素是引起帕金森病的一个重要因素,它们能够氧化损伤多巴胺能神经元,最终引起细胞死亡。Western blot和双荧光素酶检测证明,在SH-SY5Y细胞中转染正显性热休克因子1突变体能够明显上调HSP70的表达。并且通过检测细胞培养基中的乳酸脱氢酶的含量证明正显性热休克因子1突变体能够显著抑制神经毒素6-羟基多巴胺诱导的细胞死亡。这些结果表明,正显性热休克因子1突变体在帕金森病的防治方面可能具有潜在的应用前景。  相似文献

热休克因子1(HSF1)是调控热休克蛋白(HSPs)表达的核心转录因子,可被热应激、氧化应激、缺氧/血、pH下降等刺激因素激活,与靶基因的热休克元件特异性结合,增强HSPs表达,发挥内源性保护作用.HSF1活性的调控发生在HSF1三聚化、转位入核、结合DNA和调节转录等多个环节,受到分子伴侣蛋白、磷酸化作用、氧化-还原等机制共同调控,其复杂而精确的调控对于应激应答、生长发育等过程有重要意义.  相似文献

热休克蛋白对细胞凋亡的调控作用   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
热休克蛋白属于细胞内分子伴侣蛋白,除涉及细胞内一些蛋白质分子构象和稳定性的调节之外,热休克蛋白对细胞应激、代谢、增殖以及凋亡等生理过程均具有重要的调控作用。研究表明热休克蛋白对细胞凋亡的调控机制是复杂的,可直接作用于与凋亡相关的蛋白质,也可以通过影响细胞信号传递而间接影响凋亡的发生。由于热休克蛋白对细胞凋亡的调控机制大多依赖于其分子伴侣功能,阻断热休克蛋白的伴侣功能已经成为研究药物诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡的重要靶点。  相似文献

热休克转录因子1(heat shock factor 1, HSF1)是调节细胞保护性应激蛋白--热休克蛋白表达的主要转录因子,可被热应激、氧化应激等多种理化因素激活.近年研究表明,HSF1具有抗炎症作用:HSF1可抑制TNFα、IL-1β、M-CSF等致炎因子表达,促进IL-10等抗炎因子表达,并降低NF-κB、AP-1等致炎转录因子的活性.HSF1上调热休克蛋白和抑制炎症的双重活性,提示其很可能是联系应激反应和炎症反应的重要因子.  相似文献

滞育是昆虫逃避不利环境条件的基本方式之一, 益虫的合理利用和害虫的综合治理, 都离不开对滞育调控机理的研究。滞育可以诱导一些基因表达模式的改变, 如热休克蛋白基因的差异表达, 导致昆虫抗逆性增强。本文综述了与昆虫滞育关联的热休克蛋白的研究概况, 从热休克蛋白与滞育的关联、 不同虫态滞育期间热休克蛋白基因的差异表达和滞育相关的蛋白质组学研究几个方面进行了概述。与其他的胁迫反应均诱导热休克蛋白同步上调表达不同, 热休克蛋白在不同种类昆虫以及同种昆虫的不同滞育生理阶段的表达模式差别很大。热休克蛋白在滞育期间的表达是决定越冬抗逆性和存活的重要因子之一。本文可为昆虫滞育如何应答环境条件刺激的研究提供参考信息。  相似文献

环境刺激的信号转导是植物信号转导的一个重要研究方向。热激反应(heat-shockresponse,HSR)是动植物细胞或器官在遇到外界热刺激时所产生的一种保护性反应,是正常的蛋白质合成受阻时产生热激蛋白(heat-shockprotein,HSP)的一种细胞生理活动,其表达通过热休克转录因子(heat-shock factor,HSF)来进行调控[1]。编码热激蛋白基因的启动子区域存在着一段保守的DNA序列,是热休克转录因子的结合位点(heat-shockelement,HSE)。当植物受到外界的热刺激时,HSF可以与HSE特异性结合,激活热激蛋白基因的表达,  相似文献

HSP27 is a small heat-shock protein (sHSP). Such proteins are produced in all organisms. These small HSPs exhibit chaperone-like activity that can bind to unfolded polypeptides and prevent uncontrolled protein aggregation in vitro. Cellular anti-apoptosis function and enhanced cell survival are correlated with increased expression of HSPs. This study presents a thermal-stress survival model for cells using the Escherichia coli expression system for which human HSP27, a recombinant protein, is inducible. Results show that E. coli cells overexpressing human HSP27 have enhanced tolerance to 50 degrees C thermal stress.  相似文献

Stress-induced development of enhanced tolerance against various kinds of stresses has been observed in vascular endothelial cells as well as in several other cell types. Stress proteins are thought to play a key role in the development of stress tolerance. In this study we show that endothelial cells of various sources contain the major stress protein of the eye lens, alphaB-crystallin. In the mouse myocardial microvascular cell line, MyEnd, alphaB-crystallin as well as the heat shock proteins HSP 70i and HSP 25 display a low constitutive expression but can be significantly upregulated by sodium arsenite stress. Osmotic stress also resulted in strong upregulation of alphaB-crystallin and HSP 70i but not of HSP 25. Both osmotic and arsenite stress resulted in significant stress tolerance of MyEnd cells against glucose deprivation as assayed by lactate dehydrogenase release and overall cellular morphology. Development of stress tolerance without induction of HSP 25 indicates that HSP 25 is not essential for the protective effect. MyEnd cells from alphaB-crystallin-/- mice displayed a similar degree of stress tolerance showing that alphaB-crystallin is dispensable for protection of cells against energy depletion. The functional role of alphaB-crystallin in endothelial cells needs to be further elucidated. In our experiments HSP 70i turned out to be the only potential candidate of the stress proteins assayed to be involved in the development of tolerance against energy depletion.  相似文献

Heat-shock proteins induce heavy-metal tolerance in higher plants   总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14  
Cell cultures of Lycopersicon peruvianum L. stressed with CdSO4 (10–3M) show typical changes in the ultrastructure, starting with the plasmalemma and later on extending to the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondrial envelope. Part of the membrane material is extruded, with the formation of osmiophilic droplets which increase in size and number during the stress period. After 4 h, about 20 of the cells are dead. A short heat stress preceeding the heavy-metal stress induces a tolerance effect by preventing the membrane damage. The cells show a normal ultrastructure with one exception: cytoplasmic heat-shock granules are formed. This protective effect can be abolished by cycloheximide. Cadmium uptake is not markedly influenced by the heat stress. Cadmium is found together with sulfur in small deposits in the vacuoles of stressed cells. The precipitates contain an excess of sulfur, evidently due to the stress-induced formation of phytochelatins. The role in heavy-metal tolerance of heat-shock proteins in the plasmalemma (HSP70) and in cytoplasmic heat-stress granules (HSP17, HSP70) is discussed.Abbreviations EDX energy dispersive analysis of X-rays - ESI electron-spectroscopic imaging - HM heavy metal - HSG heat-stress granules - HSP heat-shock protein - MNDO modified neglect of diatomic overlap This work was supported by the Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.  相似文献

The 70-kD heat-shock proteins (HSP70s) are encoded by a multigene family in eukaryotes. In plants, the 70-kD heat-shock cognate (HSC70) proteins are located in organellar and cytosolic compartments of cells in most tissues. Previous work has indicated that HSC70 proteins of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) are actively synthesized during cold-acclimating conditions. We have isolated, sequenced, and characterized cDNA and genomic clones for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal HSC70 protein (immunoglobulin heavy chain-binding protein; BiP) of spinach. The spinach ER-luminal HSC70 is a constitutively expressed gene consisting of eight exons. Spinach BiP mRNA appears to be up-regulated during cold acclimation but is not expressed during water stress or heat shock. In contrast to the differential regulation of mRNA, the ER-luminal HSC70 protein levels remain constant in response to various environmental stresses. Two other members of the spinach 70-kD heat-shock (HS70) multigene family also show differential expression in response to a variety of environmental stresses. A constitutively expressed cytosolic HSC70 protein in spinach appears also to be up-regulated in response to both cold-acclimating and heat-shock treatments. Spinach also contains a cold-shock-induced HS70 gene that is not expressed during heat shock or water stress. Since HSP70s are considered to be involved with the chaperoning and folding of proteins, the data further support the concept that they may be important for maintaining cellular homeostasis and proper protein biogenesis during cold acclimation of spinach.  相似文献

How heat-shock proteins function in diverse organisms from diverseenvironments, and how this diversification has evolved, is anemerging focus of research on molecular chaperones. As molecularchaperones, heat-shock proteins play diverse cellular roles,typically in minimizing dysfunction that may occur when otherproteins are in non-native conformations. The standard aspectsof these roles in vitro, in isolated cells, and in typical modelorganisms in the laboratory are now well-established, as arethe ubiquity of heat-shock proteins in organisms, the rangeof stresses that induce heat-shock proteins, the major familiesof heatshock proteins, their expression in nature, and theirvariation along natural gradients of stress. These aspects mayno longer require extensive examination. By contrast, the frequencyof natural expression of heat-shock proteins, their exact physiologicalroles in stress tolerance at levels of biological organizationabove the cell, the exact molecular mechanisms by which heat-shockprotein expression and function has become tuned to the prevailinglevel of environmental stress, and the fitness consequencesof heat-shock protein expression in nature are among the numerousunresolved issues in this area.  相似文献

The human heat-shock protein multigene family comprises several highly conserved proteins with structural and functional properties in common, but which vary in the extent of their inducibility in response to metabolic stress. We have isolated and characterized a novel human HSP70 cDNA, HSP70B' cDNA, and its corresponding gene sequence. HSP70B' cDNA hybrid-selected an mRNA encoding a more basic 70 kDa heat-shock protein that both the major stress-inducible HSP70 and constitutively expressed HSC70 heat-shock proteins, which in common with other heat-shock 70 kDa proteins bound ATP. The complete HSP70B' gene was sequenced and, like the major inducible HSP70 gene, is devoid of introns. The HSP70B' gene has 77% sequence similarity to the HSP70 gene and 70% similarity to HSC70 cDNA, with greatest sequence divergence towards the 3'-terminus. The HSP70B' gene represents a functional gene, as indicated by Northern-blot analysis with specific oligonucleotides, hybrid-selected translation with a specific 3' cDNA sequence and S1 nuclease protection experiments. In contrast with HSP70 mRNA, which is present at low concentrations in HeLa cells and readily induced by heat or CdCl2 treatment in both fibroblasts and HeLa cells, HSP70B' mRNA was induced only at higher temperature and showed no basal expression. The differences in patterns of induction may be due to the special features of the promoter region of the HSP70B' gene.  相似文献

Mechanisms of drought tolerance have been studied by numerous groups, and a broad range of molecules have been identified to play important roles. A noteworthy response of stressed plants is the accumulation of novel protective proteins, including heat-shock proteins (HSPs) and late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins. Identification of gene regulatory networks of these protective proteins in plants will allow a wide application of biotechnology for enhancement of drought tolerance and adaptation. Similarly, aquaporins are involved in the regulation of water transport, particularly under abiotic stresses. The molecular and functional characterization of protective proteins and aquaporins has revealed the significance of their regulation in response to abiotic stresses. Herein, we highlight new findings regarding the action mechanisms of these proteins. Finally, this review also surveys the current advances in engineering drought tolerant plants, particularly the engineering of protective proteins (sHSPs and LEA) and aquaporins for imparting drought stress tolerance in plants.  相似文献

2D-electrophoresis performed as described by O'-Farrel has revealed clear-cut differences in the pattern of proteins synthesized in the cells of wild-type flies and in the cells of ts-lethal. The cells of the mutant studied after heat-shock exhibit not only the lack of HSP83 and HSP35 but also the absence of a few of the heat-shock proteins belonging to the HSP70 group. Moreover, in the cells of the mutant an intensive synthesis of a protein with mol. weight 72 KDa was observed after heat-shock. This protein belongs to highly abundant heat-shock cognate proteins (HSCP) which are usually not induced by temperature elevation.  相似文献
