We examined the expression patterns of heat shock proteins in primary cultured hepatocytes from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) exposed to heat shock. The expression of hsp90, hsp70, hsp40, hsp30, and hsp27 was induced and major polypeptides were hsp70, hsp30 and hsp27. Northern blot analysis showed that expression of hsp70 was inhibited by transcriptional inhibitor actinomycin D, suggesting that expression of hsp70 gene is regulated at the transcriptional level. Prolonged exposure of cells to an elevated incubation temperature $(30^{\circ}C)$ induced the transient synthesis of hsp90, hsp70, hsp40, and hsp30 whereas maintenance of cells at a slightly higher incubation temperature $(32^{\circ}C)$ induced the continuous syntheses of these hsps. When cells were incubated at a higher temperatures $(35^{\circ}C\;or\;37^{\circ}C)$, the synthesis of hsps was almost similar to that of hsps in cells exposed to 32't except for the induction of hsp27 synthesis. These results that temperature and incubation time for optimum expression of each hsp during prolonged heat shock are different.

Heat shock proteins serve as chaperone by preventing the aggregation of denatured proteins and promote survival of pathogens in harsh environments. In this study, heat shock gene encoding a 84-kDa (p84) protein, which is one of the three major heat shock proteins in S. pneumoniae, was cloned and characterized. PCR with a forward primer derived from N-terminal amino acid sequence of the p84 and a reverse primer derived from the conserved second ATP-binding region of Clp family was used for amplification of the gene encoding the p84 and subsequently the PCR product was used for sequence determination. Sequence analysis of the p84 gene demonstrated that it is a member of ClpL. The deduced amino acid sequence of pneumococcal ClpL shows homology with other members of the Clp family, and particularly, even in variable leader region, with bovine Clp-like protein and L. lactis ClpL. S. pneumoniae clpL is the smallest clop member (701 amono acids) containing the two conserved ATP-binding regions, and hydrophilic N-terminal variable region of pneu-mococcal Clp ATPase is much shorter than any known Clp ATPases. Histidine tagged ClpL was overexpressed and purified from E. coli. Immunoblot analysis employing antisera raised against pneumococcus p84 demonstrated no cross-reactivity with Clp analog in Eschericha coli, Staphylococcus aureus and human HeLa cells. Preimmunization of mice with ClpL extended mice life partially but did not protect them from death.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) is an environmental toxicant with a polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbon structure and is one of the most toxic man-made chemicals. Exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD induces reproductive toxicity, immunotoxicity, and hepatotoxicity. In this study, we evaluated how 2,3,7,8-TCDD-induced hepatotoxicity affect the expression of heat shock proteins and antioxidant enzymes using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in rat. 2,3,7,8-TCDD increased heat shock protein (Hsp27, ${\alpha}$-B-crystallin, Mortalin, Hsp105, and Hsp90s) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD-3, GST and catalase) expression after a 1 day exposure in livers of rats, whereas heat shock protein (${\alpha}$-B-crystallin, Hsp90, and GRP78) and antioxidant enzymes (SOD-1, SOD-3, catalase, GST, and GPXs) expression decreased on day 2 and then slowly recovered back to control levels on day 8. These results suggest that heat shock proteins and antioxidant enzymes were induced as protective mechanisms against 2,3,7,8-TCDD induced hepatotoxicity, and that prolonged exposure depressed their levels, which recovered to control levels due to reduced 2,3,7,8-TCDD induced hepatotoxicity.

SCK종양세포에 온열처리와 여러가지 sulihydryl-reacting agents을 처리하여 stress protein의 합성을 유도하고, 그 양상을 검토해 봄으로서 stress proteins의 합성유도와 denatured protein의 생성과의 관계를 고찰하였다. 세포에 cycloximid와 더불어 Zn또는 ME를 처리한 경우에는 stress protein의 합성이 일어나지 않았으나,온열처리 또는 IAA를 처리한 경우에는 stress protein의 합성이 유도되었다. 이 결과로 미루어 볼 때,stress protein의 유도 경로에는 두 가지가 있어서 새로운 단백질의 합성이 필요한 경로와 새로운 단백질의 합성과는 무관한 경로가 있는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 결국, 본 실험에서 사용한 stress들이 기존의 mature protein을 denature시키거나 (온열처리 또는 IAA),새로 합성된 immature protein을 denatur시키는 것,(Zn 또는 ME)으로 알려져 있으므로,stress에 의한 abnormal protein의 출현이 stress proteins의 합성을 유도하는 tigger의 구실을 하는 것으로 생각된다. 이 밖에 여러 가지 stress가 동시에 작용할 경우, 세포는 보다 강한 stress에 대해서 stress protein을 합성하여 대치하게 되는 것으로 생각된다.

Heat shock proteins (HSPs)은 다양한 생리학적인 또는 환경적 스트레스에 응답하여 유도된다. 그러나 HSPs의 전사 활성은 heat shock factors (HSFs)에 의해 조절 된다. 현재 연구에서는 붕어와 마우스의 간세포 배양에서 열 스트레스에 의한 heat shock factor 1 (HSF1)의 패턴 차이와 heat shock protein 70 (HSP70)의 발현을 면역분석법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 붕어의 간세포는 $33^{\circ}C$에서 trimer를 이루지만 마우스의 간세포는 $42^{\circ}C$에서 trimer를 이루었다. 이 연구는 붕어와 마우스의 HSF1은 열 스트레스로부터 다른 온도에서 반응을 한다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 재조합 단백질을 이용하여 붕어와 인간의 HSF1의 온도에 따른 활성 조건을 CD spectroscopy와 면역분석을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이러한 결과들은 인간과 마우스 HSF1과 붕어의 HSF1은 온도에 의한 활성 변화를 보이지만 그들의 최적 활성 온도는 다르다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Extracellular stresses induce heat shock response and render cells resistant to lethal stresses. Heat shock response involves induction of heat shock proteins (Hsps). Recently the roles of Hsps in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer are attracting increasing attention and have accelerated the study of heat shock response mechanism. This review focuses on the stress sensing steps, molecules involved in Hsps production, diseases related to Hsp malfunctions, and the potential of proteomics as a tool for understanding the complex signaling pathways relevant to these events.

溫熱處理에 대해서 細胞가 反應하여 適應하는 過程을 細胞膜水準에서 연구하기 위해서 培養中인 纖維芽細胞性 腫瘍細胞를 이용하여 細胞週期, 細胞密度 및 溫熱處理에 따른 膜表面蛋白質의 變化를 lactoperoxidase를 이용한 iodination과 galactose oxidase를 이용한 tritiation 方法을 서서 分析하였다. 細胞週期와 細胞密度에 따라 膜表面蛋白質은 定量的 變化를 보였는데 $G_1$期에서는 LETS 蛋白質과 高分子蛋白質이 크게 增加하였고 細胞密度의 증가에 따라서는 125K 蛋白質의 增加와 130K 및 100K 蛋白質의 減少가 特異하게 나타났다. 溫熱處理후의 시간경과에 따른 변화를 보면 處理직후 80K 이상의 蛋白質은 모두 사라지고, 24시간 지나면 70K 蛋白質이 현저한 增加를 보였지만 48시간이 경과하면 다시 減少하고 高分子蛋白質들이 原狀으로 回復되었다. 또한, 溫度를 $39^\\circ\\sim45^\\circC$까지 증가시켜 보았을 때 70K 蛋白質이 $41^\\circC$에서 가장 큰 폭으로 增加하는 特異한 현상이 관찰되었다. 아울러 이 70K 단백질은 trypsin을 처리하면 사라졌는데 galactose oxidase로 tritiation하였을때도 iodination하였을 때와 동일한 變化樣相을 보였다. 이러한 결과와 細胞質蛋白質과 比較한 缺課로 미루어 볼 때, 70K 蛋白質은 膜表面蛋白質이며 糖蛋白質이고 또한 HSP 70과 같은 蛋白質인 것으로 推定되었다. 이 蛋白質의 細胞膜에 있어서의 가능한 機能과 腫瘍細胞가 正常細胞에 비해서 溫熱處理에 敏感한 原因등에 관해서 考察하였다.

The groESL bicistronic operon of a restricted facultative methylotrophic bacterium Methylovorus sp. strain SS1 DSM 11726 was cloned and characterized. It was found to consist of two ORFs encoding proteins with molecular masses of 11,395 and 57,396 daltons, which showed a high degree of homology to other bacterial GroES and GroEL proteins. The genes were clustered in the transcription order groES-groEL. Northern blot analyses suggested that the groESL operon is transcribed as a bicistronic 2.2-kb mRNA, the steady-state level of which was markedly increased by temperature elevation. Primer extension analysis demonstrated one potential transcription start site preceding the groESL operon, which is located 100bp upstream of the groES start codon. The transcription start site was preceded by a putative promoter region highly homologous to the consensus sequences of Escherichia coli ${\sigma}^{32}$-type heat shock promoter, which functioned under both normal and heat shock conditions in E. coli. Heat shock mRNA was maximally produced by Methylovorus sp. strain SS1 approximately 10min after increasing the temperature from 30 to $42^{\circ}C$. The groESL operon was also induced by hydrogen peroxide or salt shock.

Heat stress is a significant burden to animal production in most areas of the world. Improving our knowledge of physiological and metabolic mechanisms of acclimation may contribute to the development of procedures that may help to maintain health and production efficiency under hot temperature. The effect of Ulmus pumila (UP) extract in inducing Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) expression in heat-stressed RAW264.7 macrophage cells was investigated. Cell viability assay showed a dose dependent increase in cells after treatment with UP for 24 hours. RT-PCR and western blot analysis showed that increasing concentrations of UP induce the expression of Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1) and dose dependently upregulated the expression of Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and Hsp90. LPS-induced nitric oxide was dose-dependently reduced while phagocytic activity greatly recovered with UP treatment. These data demonstrated that UP can be a potential candidate in the development of cytoprotective agent against heat stress.
