Heat shock proteins and glucose-regulated proteins represent an extraordinary mechanism of defense induced in the kidney by chemicals or drugs and essential to survive. Here we resume our experience on the presence and regulation of stress proteins into acute and chronic nephrotoxic models in rodents and in vitro. In acute renal damage, induced in rats by a single injection of inorganic mercury...

Stress (biotic or abiotic) is an unfavourable condition for an organism including fungus. To overcome stress, organism expresses heat-shock proteins (Hsps) or chaperons to perform biological function. Hsps are involved in various routine biological processes such as transcription, translation and posttranslational modifications, protein folding, and aggregation and disaggregation of proteins. T...

In Bacillus subtilis stress proteins are induced in response to different environmental conditions such as heat shock, salt stress, glucose and oxygen limitation or oxidative stress. These stress proteins have been previously grouped into general stress proteins (Gsps) and heat-specific stress proteins (Hsps). In this investigation the N-terminal sequences of 13 stress proteins of B. subtilis w...

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) on the accumulation of dehydrins in leaves of Tibetan hulless barley seedlings under water stress were investigated. The results indicated that SA decreased the levels of the four dehydrin-like proteins induced by water stress. The concentrations of these dehydrin-like proteins increased under water stress. However, their levels in SA-pretreated seedlings were...

The impact of three levels of sea salt (0.0, 8.0, and 16.0 mS/cm2) on six varieties of soybean (Crawford, G21, G22, G35, G82, and G83) was studied. Growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, soluble protein, free amino acids, free proline, and protein profile of soybean varieties were investigated under sea salt stress. Results of this study showed a considerable decrease in grow...

Under high temperature stress, a large number of proteins in plant cells will be denatured and inactivated. Meanwhile Hsfs Hsps quickly induced to remove proteins, so as avoid programmed cell death, thus enhancing the thermotolerance plants. Here, comprehensive identification analysis Hsf Hsp gene families eggplant under heat stress was performed. A total 24 Hsf-like genes 117 Hsp-like were ide...
