Biological thermometers are cellular components or structures which sense increasing temperatures, interaction of the thermometer and the thermal stress bringing about the switching-on of inducible responses, with gradually enhanced levels of response induction following gradually increasing temperatures. In enterobacteria, for studies of such thermometers, generally induction of heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis has been examined, with experimental studies aiming to establish (often indirectly) how the temperature changes which initiate HSP synthesis are sensed; numerous other processes and responses show graded induction as temperature is increased, and how the temperature changes which induce these are sensed is also of interest. Several classes of intracellular component and structure have been proposed as enterobacterial thermometers, with the ribosome and the DnaK chaperone being the most favoured, although for many of the proposed intracellular thermometers, most of the evidence for their functioning in this way is indirect. In contrast to the above, the studies reviewed here firmly establish that for four distinct stress responses, which are switched-on gradually as temperature increases, temperature changes are sensed by extracellular components (extracellular sensing components, ESCs) i.e. there is firm and direct evidence for the occurrence of extracellular thermometers. All four thermometers described here are proteins, which appear to be distinct and different from each other, and on sensing thermal stress are activated by it to four distinct extracellular induction components (EICs), which interact with receptors on the surface of organisms to induce the appropriate responses. It is predicted that many other temperature-induced processes, including the synthesis of HSPs, will be switched-on following the activation of similar extracellular thermometers by thermal stimuli. 相似文献

Stress-induced heat shock protein gene expression is developmentally regulated during early embryogen esis of the frog, Xenopus laevis. For example, a number of heat shock protein genes, such as hsp70,
hsp90, and ubiquitin are not heat-inducible until after the midblastula stage of embryogenesis. Furthermore, the family of small heat shock protein
genes, hsp30, are differentially expressed after the midblastula stage as well as being regulated at the level of mRNA stability. Many
of these stress proteins are also synthesized constitutively during oogenesis and embryogenesis during which they may act
as molecular chaperones as well as being involved in sequestering proteins in an inactive state until required by the developing
embryo. Furthermore the induction of these stress protein genes has been correlated with enhanced thermoresistance. During
stressful conditions heat shock proteins probably prevent aggregation or misfolding of damaged protei
ns within the embryo. 相似文献

Ehrlich carcinoma and EL-4 thymoma ascites cells were subjected in vitro to heat shock, ATP depletion, oxidative stress, Ca2+ overlading and iodoacetamide treatment. After the transient stresses, Triton (X-100)-insoluble TIS) fractions were isolated from the cells and analysed by electrophoresis and immunoblotting. All stresses used caused rapid aggregation of cell proteins. This was manifested in a signficant rise in protein content in the TIS fractions. The protein increase was mostly due to and increase in the insolubility of actin, 57 kDa protein of intermediate filaments, 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP 70), and some specific proteins whose insolubilization was a characteristic sign for each type of cell injury. Different survival rates in the cell lines after either stress corrlated well with differences in their TIS protein accretion. Possible mechanisms for stress-induced protein aggregation and its relationship with cell viability are suggested. 相似文献

The anti-ulcer drug geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) has been shown to induce the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs), in particular of Hsp70, in gastric and small intestine cells. In this study, we investigated whether GGA was able to induce Hsp70 in another cell type, human monocytes, which represent a well-established model of Hsp70 expression under oxidative stress. In these cells, GGA had no significant effect either on basal or tobacco smoke-induced Hsp70 expression. We further investigated the effects of GGA on mitochondria, a key organelle of oxidant-mediated cell injury and a putative target for GGA-mediated protection. GGA significantly increased basal mitochondrial membrane polarization and inhibited the decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential of human monocytes exposed to distinct sources of clinically relevant oxidants such as tobacco smoke and y-irradiation. Our results indicate that mitochondria are targets for GGA-mediated protection against oxidative stress in human monocytes, independently of Hsp70. 相似文献

The small heat shock proteins and their clients 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Small heat shock proteins are ubiquitous proteins found throughout all kingdoms. One of the most notable features is their
large oligomeric structures with conserved structural organization. It is well documented that small heat shock proteins can
capture unfolding proteins to form stable complexes and prevent their irreversible aggregation. In addition, small heat shock
proteins coaggregate with aggregation-prone proteins for subsequent, efficient disaggregation of the protein aggregates. The
release of substrate proteins from the transient reservoirs, i.e. complexes and aggregates with small heat shock proteins,
and their refolding require cooperation with ATP-dependent chaperone systems. The amphitropic small heat shock proteins were
shown to associate with membranes, although they do not contain transmembrane domains or signal sequences. Recent studies
indicate that small heat shock proteins play an important role in membrane quality control and thereby potentially contribute
to the maintenance of membrane integrity especially under stress conditions.

Differential basal synthesis of Hsp70/Hsc70 contributes to interindividual variation in Hsp70/Hsc70 inducibility 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The source of intraspecies variation in the expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) remains unresolved but could shed light
on differential stress tolerance and disease susceptibility. This study investigated the influence of variable basal HSP synthesis
on differential inducibility of HSP synthesis. Basal and heat-induced synthesis of the major HSP families in peripheral blood
monocytes from healthy donors (n=42) were analysed using biometabolic labelling and densitometry. Basal Hsp70/Hsc70 synthesis
and percentage induction of Hsp70/Hsc70 synthesis were significantly correlated (r=−0.57, p<0.0001), and described most accurately
by an exponential decay equation (R=0.68, R2=0.46). This regression equation suggests that increasing levels of basal Hsp70/Hsc70 synthesis are accompanied byan exponential
decrease in the percentage induction of Hsp70/Hsc70 synthesis. The model fits data from European and non-European population
groups independently, although both coefficients in the regression equation were larger for non-Europeans. This implies population
group as an additional factor influencing differential HSP expression. The differential inducibility of Hsp70/Hsc70 due to
variable basal synthesis of Hsp70/Hsc70 and based upon population group may contribute to differential stress tolerance or
disease susceptibility.

Keratins: a structural scaffold with emerging functions 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Intermediate filament proteins form an essential part of the cytoskeleton and provide topological order to cells and tissues. These features result from their intrinsic property of self-organization and their response to extrinsic cues. Keratins represent the largest subgroup among all intermediate filament proteins and are differentially expressed as pairs of type I and type II intermediate filament proteins in epithelia. Their primary function is to impart mechanical strength to cells. This function is illustrated by patients with keratin mutations and by gene-deficient mice. Additional functions include their participation in the response to stress, cell signalling and apoptosis, and thus the keratin cytoskeleton appears far more dynamic than previously anticipated. This may result from hyperphosphorylation and possibly from interaction with associated proteins. How signalling networks affect keratin organization, turnover and function and vice versa will be a major challenge for future investigations. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms of nitrosative stress-mediated protein misfolding in neurodegenerative diseases
Nitrosative and oxidative stress, associated with the generation of excessive reactive oxygen or nitrogen species, are thought
to contribute to neurodegenerative disorders. Many such diseases are characterized by conformational changes in proteins that
result in their misfolding and aggregation. Accumulating evidence implies that at least two pathways affect protein folding:
the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and molecular chaperones. Normal protein degradation by the UPS can prevent accumulation
of aberrantly folded proteins. Molecular chaperones – such as protein-disulfide isomerase, glucose-regulated protein 78, and
heat shock proteins – can provide neuroprotection from aberrant proteins by facilitating proper folding and thus preventing
their aggregation. Our recent studies have linked nitrosative stress to protein misfolding and neuronal cell death. Here,
we present evidence for the hypothesis that nitric oxide contributes to degenerative conditions by S-nitrosylating specific chaperones or UPS proteins that would otherwise prevent accumulation of misfolded proteins.

Cellular responses to mild heat stress 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Since its discovery in 1962 by Ritossa, the heat shock response has been extensively studied by a number of investigators to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the cellular response to heat stress. The most well characterized heat shock response is induction of the heat shock proteins that function as molecular chaperones and exert cell cycle regulatory and anti-apoptotic activities. While most investigators have focused their studies on the toxic effects of heat stress in organisms such as severe heat stress-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, the cellular response to fever-ranged mild heat stress has been rather underestimated. However, the cellular response to mild heat stress is likely to be more important in a physiological sense than that to severe heat stress because the body temperature of homeothermic animals increases by only 1–2°C during febrile diseases. Here we provide information that mild heat stress does have some beneficial role in organisms via positively regulating cell proliferation and differentiation, and immune response in mammalian cells.Received 14 May 2004; received after revision 2 August 2004; accepted 16 August 2004 相似文献

The heat shock response is induced in nervous tissue in a variety of clinically significant experimental models including ischemic brain injury (stroke), trauma, thermal stress and status epilepticus. Excessive excitatory neurotransmission or the inability to metabolically support normal levels of excitatory neurotransmission may contribute to neuronal death in the nervous system in many of the same pathophysiologic circumstances. We demonstrated that in vitro glutamate-neurotransmitter induced excitotoxicity is attenuated by the prior induction of the heat shock response. A short thermal stress induced a pattern of protein synthesis characteristic of the highly conserved heat shock response and increased the expression of heat shock protein (HSP) mRNA. Protein synthesis was necessary for the neuroprotective effect. The study of the mechanisms of heat shock mediated protection may lead to important clues as to the basic mechanisms underlying the molecular actions of the HSP and the factors important for excitotoxic neuronal injury. The clinical relevance of these findings in vitro is suggested by experiments performed by others in vivo demonstrating that pretreatment of animals with a submaximal thermal or ischemis stress confers protection from a subsequent ischemic insult. 相似文献

Eukaryotic cells have a highly conserved response to an increase in temperature, termed the heat shock response. Recent research has revealed multiple roles for various sphingolipids in the heat shock responses of both yeast and mammalian cells. Heat stressed or shocked yeast and mammalian cells have an acute activation of serine palmitoyltransferase, resulting in the de novo biosynthesis of sphingolipids. Also, both mammalian and yeast cells were shown to increase ceramide levels upon heat stress or shock. In yeast cells, several functions have emerged for the de novo produced sphingoid bases in terms of the heat stress response. These functions include a role in accumulation of trehalose, a role in the heat-induced transient G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and phytosphingosine activation of a ubiquitin protein degradation pathway. However, in mammalian systems, ceramides have been demonstrated as bioactive lipids. Ceramides produced in response to heat shock were demonstrated to induce the production of c-jun, leading to apoptosis, and to be upstream of dephosphorylation of serine-rich proteins. Increasingly, sphingolipids are emerging as bioactive signaling molecules involved in numerous aspects of the eukaryotic heat shock response. 相似文献

Invasive microorganisms encounter defensive attempts of the host to starve, destroy and eliminate the infection. In experimental model systems aiming to imitate defensive actions of the host, microorganisms respond by the rapid acceleration in the rate of expression of heat shock and other stress proteins. Heat shock proteins (hsp) of most if not all pathogens are major immune targets for both B- and T-cells. Host cells involved in the defensive action cannot avoid exposure to their own reactive compounds, such as oxygen radicals, resulting in premature cell death and tissue damage. Long-term consequences to the host may include cancer. In cells in tissue culture, induction of host-specific hsps occurs upon exposure to oxidants and in viral infections. Drugs that bind to members of the hsp70 family induce peroxisome proliferation and hepatocarcinoma, but may open the way for the development of novel drugs in support of antimetabolite treatment of infections and cancer. 相似文献

Dictyostelium discoideum cells produce five dynamin family proteins. Here, we show that dynamin B is the only member of this group of proteins that
is initially produced as a preprotein and requires processing by mitochondrial proteases for formation of the mature protein.
Our results show that dynamin B-depletion affects many aspects of cell motility, cell-cell and cell-surface adhesion, resistance
to osmotic shock, and fatty acid metabolism. The mature form of dynamin B mediates a wide range and unique combination of
functions. Dynamin B affects events at the plasma membrane, peroxisomes, the contractile vacuole system, components of the
actin-based cytoskeleton, and cell adhesion sites. The modulating effect of dynamin B on the activity of the contractile vacuole
system is unique for the Dictyostelium system. Other functions displayed by dynamin B are commonly associated with either classical dynamins or dynamin-related
proteins. 相似文献

Bacterial suicide through stress 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Outside of the laboratory, bacterial cells are constantly exposed to stressful conditions, and an ability to resist those
stresses is essential to their survival. However, the degree of stress required to bring about cell death varies with growth
phase, amongst other parameters. Exponential phase cells are significantly more sensitive to stress than stationary phase
ones, and a novel hypothesis has recently been advanced to explain this difference in sensitivity, the suicide response. Essentially,
the suicide response predicts that rapidly growing and respiring bacterial cells will suffer growth arrest when subjected
to relatively mild stresses, but their metabolism will continue: a burst of free-radical production results from this uncoupling
of growth from metabolism, and it is this free-radical burst that is lethal to the cells, rather than the stress per se. The
suicide response hypothesis unifies a variety of previously unrelated empirical observations, for instance induction of superoxide
dismutase by heat shock, alkyl-hydroperoxide reductase by osmotic shock and catalase by ethanol shock. The suicide response
also has major implications for current [food] processing methods.

Protein farnesylation in mammalian cells: effects of farnesyltransferase inhibitors on cancer cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Protein farnesylation, catalyzed by protein farnesyltransferase, plays important roles in the membrane association and protein-protein
interaction of a number of eukaryotic proteins. Recent development of farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) has led to further
insight into the biological significance of farnesylation in cancer cells. A number of reports point to the dramatic effects
FTIs exert on cancer cells. In addition to inhibiting anchorage-independent growth, FTIs cause changes in the cell cycle either
at the G1/S or at the G2/M phase. Furthermore, induction of apoptosis by FTIs has been reported. FTIs also affects the actin
cytoskeleton and cell morphology. This review summarizes these reports and discusses implications for farnesylated proteins
responsible for these FTI effects.

A homologue of the chaperonin protein of the HSP60 family has not been shown so far inDrosophila. Using an antibody specific to HSP60 family protein in Western blotting and immunocytochemistry, we showed that a 64-kDa polypeptide, homologous to the HSP60, is constitutively present in all tissues ofDrosophila melanogaster throughout the life cycle from the freshly laid egg to all embryonic, larval and adult stages. A 64-kDa polypeptide reacting with the same antibody in Western blots is present in all species ofDrosophila examined. Using Western blotting in conjunction with35S-methionine labeling of newly synthesized proteins and immuno-precipitation of the labeled proteins with HSP60-specific antibody, it was shown that synthesis of the 64-kDa homologue of HSP60 is appreciably increased by heat shock only in the Malpighian tubules, which are already known to lack the common HSPs. 相似文献
