As all biologists appreciate, there is constant interaction between life and the environment, and temperature plays a critical role. It establishes distribution limits, it affects rates of function as well as the survival of organisms. Notoriously sensitive to temperature is plant growth. Critical steps in plant life such as germination, flowering and breaking of dormancy can be manipulated by ...

a self-regulated high-copy number plasmid containing chloramphenicol resistant gene, for the production of recombinant proteins under the regulation of bacteriophage ?pl promoter, was constructed. the designed 5024 base pair expression plasmid contained a heat sensitive repressor ci857 coding gene to regulate the function of ?pl promoter under heat shock induction. using the constructed vector,...

Feeding farmed Artemia with yeast heat shock proteins is a novel way to protect them from stress conditions during the culture.  In this study, the effect of feeding with stressed new identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YG3-1 yeasts (containing induced heat shock proteins) on the survival of Artemia in stress conditions, was evaluated. For this purpose, heat shock proteins 82 (Hsps 82) o...

A heat shock to amebae of the amebo-flagellate Naegleria gruberi during differentiation into swimming flagellates results in the induction of heat shock proteins as well as multiple flagella. The principal heat shock proteins migrate on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with apparent molecular weights of 96,000, 77,000, 70,000, and 68,000. These proteins are synthesized preferentially ...

Introduction Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are among the most highly conserved protein families in all forms of life. Although referred to as heat shock proteins, most of these proteins are expressed at significant levels all cells under normal growths conditions and are essential for cellular growth at all physiologically relevant temperatures. Heat shock proteins perform important functions in t...
