... aversion to oral taste. To cause a Garcia effect in a strain of laboratory-bred and reared snails, the animals were exposed to heat shock stress (30°C for 1 h) 1 h after introducing them to a novel appetitive taste (a carrot slurry). The link between heat shock stress and nausea is discussed in more...

.... galloprovincialis and M. trossulus to an acute heat shock in the presence and absence of the sirtuin inhibitor suramin (SIRT1, 2 and 5) showed that sirtuins affected molecular chaperones, oxidative stress proteins, metabolic enzymes, cytoskeletal and signaling proteins more in the heat-sensitive M. trossulus than...

... clear. We measured the effects of single heat shocks and of diurnally fluctuating or constant rearing temperatures on the critical thermal maximum (CT max ) for final instar larvae of Manduca sexta . Brief (2 h) heat shocks at temperatures of 35°C and above significantly increased CT max relative...

... interference and a biological transistor. In some cases, prior exposure to a non-lethal dose of one type of stress can also protect yeast cells against a subsequent dose of a different type of stress – a phenomenon called stress cross-protection ( Fig. 2B ). For example in S. cerevisiae , a mild heat shock...

... levels of knockdown resistance to high temperature in young flies were used as the mapping population. There was no apparent increase in heat-shock survival between heat-pretreated and non-pretreated larvae. There was a positive correlation between the two experimental conditions of heat-shock survival...

... in so-called ramping assays. We exposed flies to ramping at rates of 0.06 and 0.1°C min -1 , respectively. Flies were sampled from the two treatments at 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 and 38°C and tested for heat tolerance and expression levels of the heat shock genes hsp23 and hsp70 , as well as Hsp70 protein...

... males. In the present study, real-time PCR and double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) methods were used to explore the role of heat shock protein (Hsp) genes in whitefly of both sexes; this provided further evidence of the mechanism underlying the differential heat tolerance abilities of females and males...

We compared thermosensitivity and thermotolerance of ventilatory motor pattern generation in locusts reared under two photoperiods (12:12 and 16:8; i.e. 12 h:12 h and 16 h:8 h L:D, respectively) before and after heat shock pre-treatment (HS: 3 h...

...Ariel Shabtay; Zeev Arad SUMMARY Living organisms respond to heat exposure by selectively expressing heat shock proteins (HSPs). Accumulation of HSPs confers thermotolerance in cell cultures and in ectotherms and is an important component of the heat shock response. This response, however, has...

The resulting behavioral data for 15 shrimps were pooled from the last 30 s in the first cage, the middle 30 s in the second cage, and the first 30 s in the third cage (see also Fig. 2 legend). Within each period...

...S. C. Lakhotia; K. V. Prasanth SUMMARY The haploid genome of Drosophila melanogaster normally carries at least five nearly identical copies of heat-shock-inducible hsp70 genes, two copies at the 87A7 and three copies at the 87C1 chromosome sites. We used in situ hybridization of the cDNA, which...

... purified from G. mirabilis white muscle. Similar to other chaperones in the 70kDa heat-shock protein family, G. mirabilis Hsc70 exhibited a low intrinsic ATPase activity that was stimulated in vitro by the addition of unfolded protein. Across the environmentally relevant temperature range (10–35°C...

...Julia K. Willsie; James S. Clegg SUMMARY The role of the small heat shock/α-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...

... a heat shock response was greatly reduced in older red blood cells. Young red blood cells produced 13 times more heat shock protein 70 mRNA following heat shock and four times more 70 kDa protein after recovery. They also transcribed much more heat shock cognate 71 and heat shock factor mRNA than did...

The transcriptional regulation of hsp genes is mediated by the heat shock transcription factor (HSF). The stress response has been...
