Nuclear p26, a small heat shock/alpha-crystallin protein, and its relationship to stress resistance in Artemia franciscana embryos.
The role of the small heat shock/alpha-crystallin protein, p26, in transcription in Artemia franciscana embryos was examined using isolated nuclei, containing either control or elevated levels of p26, in transcription run-on assays. Heat shock or anoxia in vivo and acid pH in vitro were used to transfer p26 into nuclei. The results suggest that parameters other than, or in addition to, p26 are ...
متن کاملArHsp21, a developmentally regulated small heat-shock protein synthesized in diapausing embryos of Artemia franciscana.
Embryos of the crustacean, Artemia franciscana, undergo alternative developmental pathways, producing either larvae or encysted embryos (cysts). The cysts enter diapause, characterized by exceptionally high resistance to environmental stress, a condition thought to involve the sHSP (small heat-shock protein), p26. Subtractive hybridization has revealed another sHSP, termed ArHsp21, in diapause-...
متن کاملThe Small Heat Shock Protein p26 Aids Development of Encysting Artemia Embryos, Prevents Spontaneous Diapause Termination and Protects against Stress
Artemia franciscana embryos enter diapause as encysted gastrulae, a physiological state of metabolic dormancy and enhanced stress resistance. The objective of this study was to use RNAi to investigate the function of p26, an abundant, diapause-specific small heat shock protein, in the development and behavior of encysted Artemia embryos (cysts). RNAi methodology was developed where injection of...
متن کاملMammalian Hsp22 is a heat-inducible small heat-shock protein with chaperone-like activity.
A newly identified 22 kDa protein that interacts with Hsp27 (heat-shock protein 27) was shown to possess the characteristic alpha-crystallin domain, hence named Hsp22, and categorized as a member of the sHsp (small Hsp) family. Independent studies from different laboratories reported the protein with different names such as Hsp22, H11 kinase, E2IG1 and HspB8. We have identified, on the basis of...
