Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) are the most abundant stress proteins in plants. Usually not expressed under permissive
conditions, they can accumulate to more than 2% of the total cellular protein content during heat stress. At present several
points of evidence indicate that these proteins act as molecular chaperones by keeping partially denatured proteins in a folding-competent
state. In plants sHSPs are encoded by a multigene family, which can be segregated into several classes according to their
subcellular position and/or sequence homology. Curiously, two different classes appear in the cytoplasm. Their specific role
during heat shock remains elusive. Here we present some evidence that both classes of sHSPs enhance recovery of reporter protein
activity in the presence of HSP70. Applying peptide arrays prepared by SPOT synthesis and in situ analysis by confocal laser scanning microscopy, we could further show that the two classes of sHSP are attached to each other
and are able to interact with non-native proteins both in vivo and in vitro. Although both of the sHSPs act similarly as molecular chaperones, immunohistochemistry experiments support the hypothesis
that the two have different cellular functions in the development of heat-induced cytoplasmic heat shock granules under elevated
temperatures.

High-temperature stress can disrupt cellular proteostasis, resulting in the accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates. For survival under stressful conditions, it is important for cells to maintain a pool of native soluble proteins by preventing and/or dissociating these aggregates. Chaperones such as GroEL/GroES (Hsp60/Hsp10) and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE (Hsp70/Hsp40/nucleotide exchange factor) help cells minimize protein aggregation. Protein disaggregation is accomplished by chaperones belonging to the Caseinolytic Protease (Clp) family of proteins. ClpB/Hsp100 proteins are strikingly ubiquitous and are found in bacteria, yeast and multi-cellular plants. The expression of these proteins is regulated by heat stress (HS) and developmental cues. Bacteria and yeast contain one and two forms of ClpB proteins, respectively. Plants possess multiple forms of these proteins that are localized to different cellular compartments (i.e. cytoplasm/nucleus, chloroplast or mitochondria). Overwhelming evidence suggests that ClpB/Hsp100 proteins play decisive roles in cell adaptation to HS. Mutant bacteria and yeast cells lacking active ClpB/Hsp100 proteins are critically sensitive to high-temperature stress. Likewise, Arabidopsis, maize and rice mutants lacking cytoplasmic ClpB proteins are very sensitive to heat. In this study, we present the structural and functional attributes of plant ClpB forms. 相似文献

Summary Isozyme patterns of four enzymes were examined from two types of differentiated cells of Schizophyllum commune. Previous studies (Wang and Raper, 1970) demonstrated dramatically different isozyme patterns for each of these enzymes; however, the studies reported here reveal no isozyme differences for these enzymes previously correlated to cellular differentiation. Possible explanations for thesediscrepancies are discussed. These results illustrate difficulties inherent in ascribing differences in cellular proteins or nucleic acids to differentiation.Vermont Agricultural Experiment Station Journal Article No. 375 相似文献

The biochemical profile and metabolism of Acyrthosiphon pisum(Harris) (Homoptera, Aphididae) are markedly altered and redirected in response to parasitization by the endophagous braconid Aphidius erviHaliday (Hymenoptera, Braconidae). In the present study, the role played in the host regulation process by teratocytes, cells deriving from the dissociation of the embryonic membrane of the parasitoid, is taken into consideration. The protein synthesis activity of these cells of embryonic origin is analysed in vitroand an essential characterization of those proteins de novosynthesized and released in the incubation medium is provided. Teratocytes, obtained by dissecting parasitized host aphids, 3, 4 and 5 days after parasitoid oviposition, were incubated in vitroand, at the end of the incubation period, were separated from the medium for SDS-PAGE analysis of both cellular and secreted proteins. Various cellular proteins were more abundant as the time between parasitization and teratocyte collection increased. Furthermore, two proteins, showing an approximate molecular mass of 15 kD (p15) and 45 kD (p45) respectively, were abundantly secreted in the incubation medium by 5 day-old teratocytes. Incubations in presence of 35S radiolabelled amino acids indicated that p15 and p45 are both synthesized by A. erviteratocytes. The amino acid composition of these two proteins was similar to that reported for other insect proteins with a demonstrated nutritional function. The p45 protein was found to be glycosylated. A tentative physiological model describing the host regulation role played by different parasitoid-derived factors is proposed. 相似文献

Biological processes in living cells are compartmentalized between lipid membranes. Integral membrane proteins often confer specific functions to these compartments and as such have a critical role in cellular metabolism and function. Cytochrome c oxidase is a macromolecular metalloprotein complex essential for the respiratory function of the cell. Elucidating the mechanisms of assembly of cytochrome c oxidase within the inner mitochondrial membrane represents a unique challenge for understanding metalloprotein biosynthesis. Elegant genetic experiments in yeast have defined several proteins required for copper delivery to cytochrome c oxidase. While the precise role of each of these proteins in copper incorporation remains unclear, recent studies have revealed that inherited mutations in two of these proteins can result in severe pathology in human infants in association with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. Characterization of the molecular pathogenesis of these disorders offers new insights into the mechanisms of cellular copper metabolism and the role of these cytochrome c oxidase copper chaperones in human disease. 相似文献

A genomic analysis of putative penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) that are involved in the synthesis of the peptidoglycan
layer of the cell wall and are encoded in 12 cyanobacterial genomes was performed in order to help elucidate the role(s) of
these proteins in peptidoglycan synthesis, especially during cyanobacterial cellular differentiation. The analysis suggested
that the minimum set of PBPs needed to assemble the peptidoglycan layer in cyanobacteria probably does not exceed one bifunctional
transpeptidase–transglycosylase Class A high-molecular-weight PBP; two Class B high-molecular-weight PBPs, one of them probably
involved in cellular elongation and the other in septum formation; and one low-molecular-weight PBP. The low-molecular-weight
PBPs of all of the cyanobacteria analyzed are putative endopeptidases and are encoded by fewer genes than in Escherichia coli. We show that in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, predicted proteins All2981 and Alr4579, like Alr5101, are Class A high-molecular-weight PBPs that are
required for the functional differentiation of aerobically diazotrophic heterocysts, indicating that some members of this
class of PBPs are required specifically for cellular developmental processes. 相似文献

New antibody markers have allowed more refined examinations of embryogenesis. Features are being found that were overlooked in whole and sectioned embryos stained with traditional histochemical labels. Two monoclonal antibodies that recognize two different cell surface proteins in Manduca sexta label cells of the developing reproductive system. These specific immunolabels reveal that during a brief period of Manduca embryogenesis, rudiments of both male and female genital ducts are present in a single embryo. This transient phase of genital differentiation parallels the transient indifferent stage known to occur during development of reproductive systems in many vertebrate embryos. At the end of this indifferent stage, one of the two pairs of genital ducts retracts and degenerates. The dynamic expression of the two surface proteins on cells involved in morphogenesis of both the female and male reproductive systems also suggests that these proteins are important in orchestrating the specific cellular interactions that occur between mesodermal cells of the genital ducts and the nearby ventral ectoderm. 相似文献

The mitochondrial proteins synthesized by spermatogenic cells from Heliothis virescens, H. subflexa, and their male-sterile backcross progeny were analyzed by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. This subset of total cellular proteins was defined by using a combination of cellular fractionation techniques and pulse-labeling in the presence of antibiotics. Mitochondrial morphology was also evaluated in cells from fertile and sterile testes by using the laser dye rhodamine 123. These studies revealed that while abnormal mitochondrial structures are apparent in sperm from backcross moths, neither protein synthesis nor import into the organelle was affected in these individuals. Two mitochondrial proteins exhibiting charge variation between the two parental hybridizing species have been identified, and these results are discussed within the context of a hypothesis developed to account for the sterility phenomenon. 相似文献

The molecular properties of two hemagglutinating proteins, one a lectin called electrolectin and a second protein called myonectin, are described in the L6 cells, a myogenic cell line. The activities of these two proteins change during myogenesis. Electrolectin is found in two forms: (1) s-electrolectin is in the supernatant fraction of a 100000 g centrifugation; (2) p-electrolectin is in the pellet. Myonectin is found almost exclusively in the supernatant fraction. Also present in the supernatant fraction is a protein which blocks s-electrolectin activity. The blocking effects of this protein can be removed by a variety of techniques including gel filtration, heating, trypsinization and extensive dialysis. All of these procedures result in the inactivation of myonectin. Since the blocking protein also chromatographs with myonectin, these observations suggest that myonectin and the blocking protein may be the same. Based on gel chromatography, s-electrolectin and p-electrolectin have similar filtration properties whereas myonectin is very different, and can be easily separated from electrolectin. Since trypsinization of intact cells leads to the loss of myonectin, it is concluded that myonectin is largely limited to the surface of the cells. Several procedures were used to alter the rate and extent of the differentiation of the cells in order to determine the relationship between the agglutinating proteins and cellular differentiation. Plating cells at different densities or blocking fusion did not alter the activity of p-electrolectin. Changes in s-electrolectin and myonectin activities were observed, but the decrease in their activities which normally accompanies fusion occurred even when fusion was blocked. It is concluded, therefore, that fusion alone is not responsible for the decrease in the activities of these proteins. 相似文献

The AAA proteins (ATPases Associated with a variety of cellular Activities) are found in eubacterial, archaebacterial, and eukaryotic species and participate in a large number of cellular
processes, including protein degradation, vesicle fusion, cell cycle control, and cellular secretory processes. The AAA proteins
are characterized by the presence of a 230 to 250-amino acid ATPase domain referred to as the Conserved ATPase Domain or CAD. Phylogenetic analysis of 133 CAD sequences from 38 species reveal that AAA CADs are organized into discrete
groups that are related not only in structure but in cellular function. Evolutionary analyses also indicate that the CAD was
present in the last common ancestor of eubacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes. The eubacterial CADs are found in metalloproteases,
while CAD-containing proteins in the archaebacterial and eukaryotic lineages appear to have diversified by a series of gene
duplication events that lead to the establishment of different functional AAA proteins, including proteasomal regulatory,
NSF/Sec, and Pas proteins. The phylogeny of the CADs provides the basis for establishing the patterns of evolutionary change
that characterize the AAA proteins.

Hydrophilins are a group of proteins that are present in all organisms and that have been defined as being highly hydrophilic and rich in glycine. They are assumed to play important roles in cellular dehydration tolerance. There are 12 genes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that encode hydrophilins and most of these genes are stress responsive. However, the functional role of yeast hydrophilins, especially in desiccation and freezing tolerance, is largely unknown. Here, we selected six candidate hydrophilins for further analysis. All six proteins were predicted to be intrinsically disordered, i.e. to have no stable structure in solution. The contribution of these proteins to the desiccation and freezing tolerance of yeast was investigated in the respective knock-out strains. Only the disruption of the genes YJL144W and YMR175W (SIP18) resulted in significantly reduced desiccation tolerance, while none of the strains was affected in its freezing tolerance under our experimental conditions. Complementation experiments showed that yeast cells overexpressing these two genes were both more desiccation and freezing tolerant, confirming the role of these two hydrophilins in yeast dehydration stress tolerance. 相似文献

The Hsp60 and Hsp70 chaperones contain a number of conserved inserts that are restricted to particular phyla of bacteria.
A one aa insert in the E. coli GroEL and a 21–23 insert in the DnaK proteins are specific for most Gram-negative bacteria. Two other inserts in DnaK are
limited to certain groups of proteobacteria. The requirement of these inserts for cellular growth was examined by carrying
out complementation studies with temperature-sensitive (T
s) mutants of E. coli
groEL or dnaK. Our results demonstrate that deletion or most changes in these inserts completely abolished the complementation ability
of the mutant proteins. Studies with GroEL and DnaK from some other species that either lacked or contained these inserts
also indicated that these inserts are essential for growth of E. coli. The DnaK from some bacteria contains a two aa insert that is not found in E. coli. Introduction of this insert into the E. coli DnaK also led to its inactivation, indicating that these inserts are specific for different groups. We postulate that these
conserved inserts that are localized in loop regions on protein surfaces, are involved in some ancillary functions that are
essential for the groups of bacteria where they are found.

To understand the early heat shock (HS)‐regulated cellular responses that influence the tolerance of rice plant to high environmental temperatures, two‐dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D‐DIGE) is performed to explore the early HS‐regulated proteome. Multiple proteins that show abundance changes after 1 and 5 min of HS treatment are identified. Of the early HS‐regulated proteins identified, the abundance of a ubiquitin‐specific protease, OsUBP21, and its Arabidopsis homolog, AtUBP13, is found to be upregulated by 5 min of HS treatment. Further, knocking the expression of OsUBP21 or AtUBP13 down or out increases the tolerance of rice and Arabidopsis plants to HS stress, suggesting that the function of these ubiquitin‐specific proteases in regulating plant HS responses is conserved between monocots and dicots. 2D‐DIGE showed a group of proteins are differentially regulated in wild‐type and ubp21 mutant after 30 min of HS treatment. Among these proteins, 11 are found to interact directly with OsUBP21; thus, they may be targets of OsUBP21. Future analyses of the roles of these OsUBP21‐interacting proteins in plant HS responses will help reveal the protein ubiquitination/deubiquitination‐regulated cellular responses induced by HS in rice. 相似文献

Background
The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is an important producer of high quality industrial enzymes and a few eukaryotic proteins. Most of these proteins are secreted into the growth medium, but successful examples of cytoplasmic protein production are also known. Therefore, one may anticipate that the high protein production potential of B. subtilis can be exploited for protein complexes and membrane proteins to facilitate their functional and structural analysis. The high quality of proteins produced with B. subtilis results from the action of cellular quality control systems that efficiently remove misfolded or incompletely synthesized proteins. Paradoxically, cellular quality control systems also represent bottlenecks for the production of various heterologous proteins at significant concentrations. 相似文献17.

Glutamine synthetase (GS) type I is a key enzyme in nitrogen metabolism, and its activity is finely controlled by cellular carbon/nitrogen balance. In cyanobacteria, a reversible process that involves protein–protein interaction with two proteins, the inactivating factors IF7 and IF17, regulates GS. Previously, we showed that three arginine residues of IFs are critical for binding and inhibition of GS. In this work, taking advantage of the specificity of GS/IFs interaction in the model cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, we have constructed a different chimeric GSs from these two cyanobacteria. Analysis of these proteins, together with a site‐directed mutagenesis approach, indicates that a core of three residues (E419, N456 and R459) is essential for the inactivation process. The three residues belong to the last 56 amino acids of the C‐terminus of Synechocystis GS. A protein–protein docking modeling of Synechocystis GS in complex with IF7 supports the role of the identified core for GS/IF interaction. 相似文献

To improve the efficiency, accuracy, reproducibility, throughput and proteome coverage of mass spectrometry-based quantitative approaches, both in vitro and in vivo tagging of particular amino acid residues of cellular proteins have been introduced to assist mass spectrometry for global-scale comparative studies of differentially expressed proteins/modifications between different biologically relevant cell states or cells at different pathological states. The basic features of these methods introduce pair-wise isotope signals of each individual peptide containing a particular type of tagged amino acid (amino acid-coded mass tagging) that originated from different cell states. In this review, the applications of major amino acid-coded mass tagging-based quantitative proteomics approaches, including isotope-coded affinity tag, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ?) and stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture are summarized in the context of their respective strengths/weakness in identifying those differentially expressed or post-translational modified proteins regulated by particular cellular stress on a genomic scale in a high-throughput manner. Importantly, these gel-free, in-spectra quantitative mechanisms have been further explored to identify/characterize large-scale protein–protein interactions involving various functional pathways. Taken together, the information about quantitative proteome changes, including multiple regulated proteins and their interconnected relationships, will provide an important insight into the molecular mechanisms, where novel targets for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention will be identified. 相似文献
