Abstract
Heat shock treatment of rat embryo fibroblasts resulted in a 60% increase in cytosolic protein kinase C activity, in contrast to phorbol ester-induced translocation to the membrane. During reversal of the cells back to the normal temperature a decrease in cytosolic PKC activity was observed and paralleled by an increase in protamine kinase activity. Cell lysates prepared from heat shock-treated cells show a marked calcium/phospholipid-dependent phosphorylation of several endogenous PKC substrate proteins, while the 28-kDa stress protein was shown to be a PKC substrate. These cells express the TYPE III-alpha isoform of PKC and, thus, the alterations induced within cells exposed to hyperthermic treatment may reflect a functional significance with regard to the regulation of this specific isoform.

Abstract
The small molecular weight heat shock protein HSP27 was recently shown to confer a stable thermoresistant phenotype when expressed constitutively in mammalian cells after structural gene transfection. These results suggested that HSP27 may also play an important role in the development of thermotolerance, the transient ability to survive otherwise lethal heat exposure after a mild heat shock. In Chinese hamster O23 cells increased thermoresistance is first detected at 2 h after a triggering treatment of 20 min at 44 degrees C, attains a maximum at 5 hours, and decays thereafter with a half-life of 10 h. We found that the development and decay of transient thermotolerance cannot be solely explained on the basis of changes in the cellular concentration of HSP27. The cellular HSP27 concentration is not increased appreciably at 2 h after heat shock and attains a maximum at 14 h. Similar results were obtained in the case of another heat shock protein, HSP70. HSP70 follows slightly faster kinetics of accumulation (peaks at 10 h) and decays much more rapidly (ti/2 = 4h) than HSP27 (t1/2 = 13h). HSP27 has 3 isoelectric variants A, B, and C of which B and C are phosphorylated. In cells maintained at normal temperature, HSP27A represents more than 90% of all HSP27. Shifting the cell culture temperature from 37 to 44 degrees C induces the incorporation of 32P into the more acidic B and C forms, a process that occurs very rapidly since the reduction in the concentration of the A form and a corresponding increase in the level of B and C is detectable by immunoblot analysis within 2.5 min at 44 degrees C. Analyses performed at various times during development and decay of transient thermotolerance revealed a close relationship between the effect of heat shock on HSP27 phosphorylation and cell ability to survive. For example, fully thermotolerant cells (5 h post-induction) are refractory to induction of HSP27 phosphorylation by a 20-min heat shock. The induction of HSP27 phosphorylation was also studied in a family of clonal cell lines of O23 cells that are thermoresistant as a result of the constitutive expression of a transfected human HSP27 gene. In these thermoresistant cells, phosphorylation of the endogenous hamster HSP27 is induced to a level comparable to that found in the thermosensitive parental cells. However, phosphorylation of the exogenous human protein, which represents more than 80% of total HSP27 in these cells, was much less induced.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have previously reported lack of expression of a polypeptide designated L3 in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Expression of L3 occurred predominantly in older children with pre-B ALL. We have recently reported the expression during B cell ontogeny of two other polypeptides, designated L2 and L4 with a similar Mr as L3, which were identified as phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms respectively of the low Mr heat shock protein. hsp27. In this study we have characterized L3 and identified it as another phosphorylated form of hsp27. The two phosphorylated forms appear to be differentially expressed in acute leukemia. L3 levels in infants who expressed hsp27 isoforms L2 and L4 were significantly diminished compared to levels in older children with an equivalent amount of hsp27. We conclude that leukemic cells in infant ALL exhibit a unique pattern of phosphorylation of hsp27 expressed at a pre-B cell stage of differentiation.

Abstract
To examine the involvement of heat shock proteins in the induction of thermotolerance in Chinese hamster V79 cells, thermotolerance was induced by heating of the cells at 42 degrees C for 4 h or at 44 degrees C for 20 min, or by treatment of the cells with 50 microM sodium arsenite for 3 h or 20 micrograms/ml puromycin for 4 h. Under unstressed conditions V79 cells synthesized constitutively three major heat-shock proteins, hsp70, hsp85 and hsp105. On exposure to conditions under which thermotolerance was induced, the synthesis of constitutive hsp70, hsp85 and hsp105 increased, but the inducible form of hsp70 was not synthesized, indicating that this inducible form was not necessary for the induction of thermotolerance. Although the amounts of heat-shock proteins synthesized in the cells that acquired thermotolerance were not always more than those synthesized constitutively in unstressed cells, the stressed cells synthesized heat-shock proteins (especially hsp70) preferentially over other proteins. As the level of hsp70 in the thermotolerant cells was almost the same as that in unstressed cells, the specific accumulation of hsp70 seemed not to be required for the acquisition of thermotolerance. From these findings it seemed likely that, for the induction of thermotolerance in V79 cells, hsp70 preferentially synthesized during or after the stress has an important function. Or the synthesis of heat shock proteins may not be important, and constitutively synthesized heat-shock proteins acquire a specific function during or after the stress.

Abstract
Studies on the expression of heat shock proteins during development in Drosophila clearly show that individual Hsps accumulate in a tissue- and developmental stage-specific manner. This is in contrast to their coordinate expression in response to stress. Therefore, the Hsps may play at least two roles, one as housekeeping proteins during development and/or differentiation and the second one in restoring cellular functions after environmental stress. Research in the first two decades following the discovery of the heat shock response have focused on a search for functions in stressed cells. The next few years should bring us further understanding on the role of these fascinating proteins during development in Drosophila as well as in other eukaryotes.

Abstract
In response to adverse changes in their local environment, cells or tissues from all organisms increase the expression of a group of proteins referred to as heat shock or stress proteins. Collectively, the stress proteins are thought to provide the cell with some degree of protection during the environmental insult as well as facilitate the repair and recovery of metabolic pathways perturbed as a consequence of the stress event. Within the past few years it has become apparent that most all of the stress proteins are present in appreciable levels in the unstressed cell and are involved in a number of very basic and essential biochemical pathways. The present review has discussed pertinent changes in cell physiology in mammalian cells experiencing metabolic stress. In addition, considerable attention has been given to discussing the properties and possible functions of the individual stress proteins.

Abstract
In the preceding report we demonstrated a dose-dependent increase in 32P-phosphoprotein labeling after 24-h exposure of cultured cerebellar granule neurons to methyl mercury (MeHg), a response that was not observed in glial cultures. In the present study we have examined 32P-labeled phosphoproteins by two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. At concentrations of 0.5 and 1 microM, which were not extensively cytotoxic, MeHg enhanced phosphorylation of numerous acidic proteins, particularly a cluster of proteins with Mr approximately 28,000 and pI approximately 5.7-5.9 (pp 28/5.7-5.9) and a protein with Mr approximately 58,000 and pI approximately 5.6. The pp28 cluster displayed considerable two-dimensional pattern variability from one experiment to the next, suggesting susceptibility to subtle structural modifications. Time course studies revealed that increased 32P phospholabeling of pp28/5.7-5.9 was detectable after 12-h exposure to 3 microM MeHg and reached values of 300-500% of control by 24 h. These studies also showed that among the 21 proteins analyzed by two-dimensional densitometry, 32P phospholabeling of four proteins increased by 20-50% and of two proteins decreased by 20-50% after 24-h treatment. However, exposure to 10 microM MeHg produced stimulation of pp28/5.7-5.9 32P phospholabeling within 2 h. Under these conditions a relatively high stimulation (sevenfold) of pp28/5.7 phospholabeling occurred, while pp28/5.9 32P phospholabeling was only moderately (5-20%) enhanced. 35S and 32P double-label analysis of cells treated with 0, 0.5, and 1 microM MeHg indicated specific stimulation of 32P phospholabeling of these proteins without increased polypeptide synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Patterns of neosynthesized cellular proteins from normal rat liver and from diethylnitrosamine-induced neoplastic nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas were analyzed by radiolabeling and fluorography of two-dimensional gel electrophoregrams. Three proteins exhibited a significant and reproducible increase in labeling intensity in the nodules (n = 5) and in the tumors (n = 10) as compared to the normal liver (n = 10). Two of those proteins (MW 31 and 33 kD, pI of 5.25, 5.15 respectively) are secreted proteins and as yet, we have no clue as to their nature. The third one is an intracellular protein of 27 kD pI 5.5. Several similarities in physico-chemical properties (MW, pI, phosphorylated state, low methionine content) indicate that this 27 kD protein might be the 27 kD heat shock protein (27 HSP). This is further supported by our observation that the cadmium-induced 27 HSP comigrates with our 27 kD protein.

Abstract
Using affinity chromatography on ATP-agarose, we have identified a major ATP-binding protein in Nonidet P-40 extracts of avian and mammalian cells labeled with [35S]methionine. After washing ATP-agarose beads with high-ionic-strength buffer (0.4 M NaCl), the 37-kD protein was shown to be one of the major ATP-binding proteins while p72 and grp78, which are members of the hsp70 family, also bound to ATP-agarose. This protein consisted of several spots on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point of the most basic spot was approximately 9.2 in chick embryo fibroblasts, whereas it was about 8.8 in mouse 3T3 cells. The identities of these proteins in mouse and chick cells were confirmed by peptide mapping. After heat-shock treatment of BALB/3T3 cells, the major heat-shock protein, hsp70, was shown to be induced very rapidly after heat shock and was recovered in the ATP-binding fraction. Besides hsp70, a 37-kD protein was also found to be induced by heat shock. This protein was drastically induced by treating the cells with alpha,alpha'-dipyridyl, an iron chelating reagent, but not with sodium arsenite, calcium ionophore, or tunicamycin. The synthesis and the total amount of this ATP-binding protein increased in mouse 3T3 cells transformed by simian virus 40, methylcholanthrene, or activated c-Ha-ras oncogene compared to their normal counterparts. The incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate was not detected in either normal or transformed cells. These studies established that a major ATP-binding protein of Mr = 37,000 is a heat-inducible protein and that the synthesis of this protein is regulated by malignant transformation.

Abstract
The phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) stimulated the phosphorylation of two distinct 27 kDa and 28 kDa proteins, respectively, in bovine vascular endothelial cells and in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. These protein phosphorylation events were correlated to striking opposite cell growth responses to TPA, i.e., stimulation of vascular endothelial cell proliferation and inhibition of MCF-7 cell growth. Exposure of both vascular endothelial and MCF-7 cells to heat shock induced synthesis of the respective 27 kDa and 28 kDa proteins among a set of common and distinct other proteins as well as an increase in the degree of phosphorylation of the two 27 kDa and 28 kDa proteins. These results suggest that the two protein kinase C substrates very likely belong to the family of low molecular mass stress proteins.

Abstract
Phosphate content determinations established that in alpha B-crystallin two phosphate groups can be present in vivo in bovine lenses. Comparison of tryptic digests of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated alpha B chains, revealed the location of the two phosphorylation sites in tryptic peptides T2 and T3. Thermolytic digestion and gas-phase sequencing demonstrated that Ser-19 and Ser-45 are the in vivo phosphorylation sites of bovine alpha B-crystallin. This pattern of phosphorylation differs from the previously reported in vitro obtained results.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 alpha and tumour necrosis factor-alpha stimulated phosphorylation of three 27 kDa phosphoproteins in MRC-5 fibroblasts which was sustained for up to 2 h after adding the cytokines. All three phosphoproteins were immunoprecipitated by a specific antiserum to the small mammalian heat shock protein, hsp 27. The three phosphoproteins from stimulated or control cells contained phosphoserine but not phosphothreonine or phosphotyrosine. Similar increases in phosphorylation of immunoprecipitable 27 kDa proteins were seen in U937 cells stimulated by TNF alpha and Hep G2 cells stimulated by IL1 alpha.

Abstract
Protein synthesis by isolated rabbit type II pneumocytes was evaluated by incorporation of labeled amino acids, gel electrophoresis, and fluorography. Type II alveolar epithelial cells preferentially synthesize a small number of proteins immediately following isolation and simultaneously exhibit a depression of all other protein synthesis. Examination of the time course of the appearance and decline of these proteins showed them to be actively synthesized during the first 14 h after isolation. Decline in their production was accompanied by a gradual enhancement in the synthesis of other proteins. Actin synthesis was not measurable 1 h after isolation, but increased to 9% of total label incorporated by 14 h. This recovery was independent of attachment to an extracellular matrix. Treatment with actinomycin D immediately following cell isolation abolished the synthesis of these proteins, suggesting a requirement for active mRNA production. A subset of these proteins are induced by heat treatment of cultured type II cells. The half-life, intracellular localization, isoelectric points, apparent molecular weights, and heat inducibility of this group of proteins are similar to stress proteins found in other mammalian systems. These stress proteins are unique in that their synthesis is induced by the cell isolation process. Possible mechanisms by which cell isolation may induce the stress response are discussed.

Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL1) or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) stimulated phosphorylation of a triad of 27 kDa phosphoproteins (pI 6.0, 5.7 and 5.5) in human dermal fibroblasts. The change was dependent on the dose of cytokine in the range 0.1-20 ng, was detectable between 3 and 5 min after stimulation and was maximal by 10 min. The proteins were found in the cytosol after subcellular fractionation. The 32P was removed from them by alkali, indicating the presence of phosphoserine and/or phosphothreonine. The results suggest that early changes in serine/threonine protein kinase activity may be involved in responses of fibroblasts to IL1 and TNF.

Abstract
Four heat-resistant variants were isolated after treatment of Chinese hamster lung cells with the mutagen ethyl methane sulfonate, followed by a single-step selection procedure consisting in a severe hyperthermic treatment of 4 h at 44 degrees C. The isolated clones had a stable resistant phenotype for at least 150 generations during which they showed a 5,000-fold increased survival to a 4-h treatment at 44 degrees C when compared to wild-type cells. Comparative two-dimensional electrophoretic analyses of proteins revealed that, like induced thermotolerant wild-type cells (i.e., cells induced to a transient physiological state of thermotolerance by a sublethal heat conditioning treatment administered 18 h before), the heat-resistant variants had, at normal temperature, an increased content of a heat-shock protein with Mr of 27,000 (HSP27). In three of the four heat-resistant variants, the increased content of HSP27 was correlated with a two-fold increase in the constitutive level of the mRNA encoding HSP27. Chinese hamster HSP27 is composed of three species that differ in their relative isoelectric point, among which the two most acidic forms are phosphoproteins. In both the heat-resistant variant and wild-type cells, heat shock induces a rapid enhancement of the phosphorylation of HSP27: maximal phosphorylation occurs within 10 min upon changing the incubation temperature from 35 degrees to 44 degrees C. A concomitant shift in silver-staining intensity is rapidly detectable between the three isoforms, which seems to indicate that the two phosphorylated species represent post-translational modifications of the more basic species. It is concluded that most likely the enhanced expression of HSP27 is linked to the resistant phenotype of the variants. The study provides supporting evidence that both the content and phosphorylation status of HSP27 are determining factors in the ability of cells to survive hyperthermic treatments.

Abstract
Changes in the extent of phosphorylation of the 25 kDa subunit of eIF-4F occur during several major biological events including mitosis and heat shock in mammalian cells and shortly after fertilization of sea urchin (Lytechinus pictus) eggs. In vitro phosphorylation studies using highly purified protein kinases demonstrated that the 220 kDa subunit of eIF-4F was phosphorylated by cAMP dependent protein kinase, protein kinase C and probably to a lesser extent by cGMP dependent protein kinase. In addition, eIF-4A was readily phosphorylated by cAMP and cGMP dependent protein kinases whereas p48 of eIF-4F was not. The effect of these phosphorylation events on eIF-4F function, its assembly or disassembly, susceptibility to viral initiated proteolysis or the ability of p25 to be phosphorylated at serine-53 remain to be investigated.

Abstract
Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) inhibited growth of human mammary carcinoma cell lines and increased mainly the phosphorylation of two cytosolic phosphoproteins (pp) of 27 kD with isoelectric points of 5.5 (pp27a) and 5.0 (pp27b). The time course of pp27 phosphorylation closely paralleled the rapid PMA-induced subcellular redistribution of protein kinase C (PKC) activity and its subsequent down regulation. Addition of phospholipase C and fetal calf serum to intact cells or purified PKC to a cell free system enhanced the phosphorylation of both pp27 suggesting that the two polypeptides are specific substrates for PKC. Exposure of human mammary carcinoma cells to stress inducers such as arsenite or cadmium increased the 32P incorporation of both pp27 to an extent comparable to PMA. The increased phosphorus content following stress was rather due to a higher rate of synthesis of both pp27 than to a higher phosphorylation state of these polypeptides as determined by [3H]-leucine labeling. These results indicate that the major substrates of PKC, phosphorylated during the PMA-induced growth inhibition of human mammary carcinoma cells, are members of the stress protein family, suggesting a new possible function for these proteins.

Abstract
The cellular mass of sn-1,2-diacylglycerols, which are intracellular second messengers which activate protein kinase C, were quantitatively determined with an enzymatic assay. The method employed to harvest cultured human skin fibroblasts or human epidermal A431 cells prior to extraction of lipid into chloroform/methanol affected diacylglycerol (DAG) levels. Scraping or trypsinization significantly increased DAG levels. A method was devised to allow reliable and reproducible DAG measurements from adherent cells. The addition of methanol prior to scraping was shown to stop cellular metabolism and to permit accurate quantitation. Importantly, this solvent was compatible with cultures grown on plastic. Using this method, growth conditions which could affect DAG levels were investigated. Changes in the osmolality of the culture medium did not affect the DAG levels of A431 cells; exposure of A431 cells to acidic pH or elevated temperature lowered DAG levels. In contrast to fibroblasts, the total DAG levels of A431 cells continued to increase during serum deprivation. The highest DAG levels, normalized to phospholipids, were observed during the exponential growth phase. This ratio dropped when the cultures reached confluency. These experiments also demonstrated that A431 cells possess higher DAG levels than do normal fibroblasts. The function of DAG in cellular regulation is discussed.

Abstract
The low-molecular-weight heat-shock protein HSP27 is made in the absence of heat shock during Drosophila melanogaster development. An analysis of the accumulation of HSP27 during specific stages of development is presented using an antiserum recognizing this protein. Whereas HSP27 is abundant during embryogenesis, the level of this protein begins to decrease in the 20-h old embryo and is no longer detectable in second instar larvae. A high level of HSP27 is again observed in third instar larvae and reaches a maximal level in late pupae. While still abundant in young adult flies of both sexes, a greater amount of HSP27 is found in females with the protein being highly concentrated within the ovaries. Following lysis of whole pupae, about 60% of HSP27 is found in the soluble lysate fraction in a form which sediments between 5 and 20 S. Anti-HSP27 serum also recognizes three other developmentally regulated polypeptides with apparent MW of 33, 85 and 120 kDa. The 33 kDa protein accumulates in pupae while those of 85 and 120 kDa are more abundant in third instar larvae. Unlike HSP27, these proteins are not detected in embryos or ovaries. Immunoblot analysis of V8 proteolytic fragments suggests that HSP 27 and 33 kDa are related polypeptides. Exposure of the developing insect to heat-shock treatment results in increased level of HSP27. In larvae, a small amount of the 33 kDa protein accumulates following heat shock, while in pupae and adult flies a decrease in the concentration of this protein is observed after heat shock. Finally, different cellular localizations and distributions within the pupal body have been found for these developmentally regulated polypeptides.

Abstract
Effects of heat shock on the development of early pre-somite embryos have been studied using cultured rat embryos. The results illustrate the sensitivity of the developing head and brain to elevated temperatures prior to neural tube closure and the capacity of embryos to acquire thermotolerance. Embryos exposed briefly to an elevated temperature (43 degrees C for 7.5 min) developed severe craniofacial defects including microphthalmia, microcephaly, gross reduction of the forebrain region, and open neural tubes. In contrast, a nonteratogenic heat shock (42 degrees C for 10 min) caused embryos to acquire thermotolerance during a 15-min recovery period at 38.5 degrees C. Acquired thermotolerance was effective in protecting embryos from a subsequent more severe heat treatment which would have been teratogenic in an unprotected embryo. Recovering embryos mounted a heat shock response as evidenced by the induction of a 71 kilodalton heat shock protein. Activation of the heat shock response was not a teratogenic event in the developing embryo.

Abstract
Heat shock or Sindbis virus infection of chick embryo (CE) or baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells resulted in a decrease in the uptake of 86Rubidium+, a K+ tracer. Both stressful treatments decreased 86Rb+ uptake by inhibition of the ouabain-sensitive Na+/K+ ATPase. Alterations in the intracellular levels of monovalent ions may be involved in translational or transcriptional control of the stress response. Heat shock or Sindbis virus infection also resulted in an increase in rate of uptake of [3H]deoxy-D-glucose and a decrease in the incorporation of [3H]glucosamine or [3H]mannose into most cellular proteins. These results suggested that heat shock or Sindbis virus infection alter hexose metabolism and that abnormally glycosylated proteins may accumulate in stressed cells. Exposure of uninfected chick embryo cells to elevated temperature had little effect on the overall rate of incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate into cellular proteins. However, one protein (Mr 31,000; pp31) displayed increased incorporation of [32P]orthophosphate and two other proteins (Mr 33,000 and 20,000; pp33 and pp20) displayed decreased incorporation. Sindbis virus infection failed to mimic or to modify these heat shock induced alterations in protein phosphorylation.

Abstract
The mechanism by which chemical inducers of the stress response inhibit protein synthesis was examined. All the chemicals tested principally inhibit the initiation phase of translation. Covalent modification of the initiation factor proteins does not constitute a common mechanism. Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)-2 alpha phosphorylation is moderately to strongly induced by Na arsenite and diamide, but only slightly to imperceptibly affected by iodoacetamide, azetidine carboxylic acid, and canavanine. eIF-4B dephosphorylation does not occur in any case. The only consistent change detected is the hyperphosphorylation of the 28,000 Da heat stress protein. These results indicate that these diverse chemicals, all of which enhance the transcription of the stress mRNAs, do not inhibit translation by a common, recognized mechanism; it is likely that several distinct pathways leading to inhibition exist.

Abstract
The cytoskeleton of neuroblastoma cells, clone Neuro 2A, is altered by two stress conditions: heat shock and arsenite treatment. Microtubules are reorganized, intermediate filaments are aggregated around the nucleus, and the number of stress fibers is reduced. Since both stress modalities induce similar cytoskeletal alterations, no thermic denaturation of one or more cytoskeletal components can be involved in this process. Heat shock proteins are induced both by heat and by arsenite. However, cells treated with arsenite synthesize hsp28 which is not detected in heat-treated cells. Synthesis of all hsps is prevented by addition of actinomycin D or cycloheximide. Under these conditions no alterations are observed in the organization of microtubules and intermediate filaments during heat or arsenite treatment. However, these drugs are not able to prevent the rapid loss of stress fibers. A re-formation of the cytoskeleton during the recovery period proceeds within 3 h and is also found to occur in the presence of a protein synthesis inhibitor. These data suggest that reorganization of microtubules and intermediate filaments during a stress treatment requires the synthesis of a new protein(s), probably hsp(s).

Abstract
Interleukin 2 (IL 2) is a polypeptide growth factor essential for the proliferation and differentiation of T lymphocytes, large granulocytic lymphocytes, and, potentially, cells of the antibody-producing lineage, B lymphocytes. Many of the biological properties of IL 2 may be mimicked or potentiated by a potent class of tumor promoters, phorbol esters. Phorbol esters have recently been shown to associate with and activate a unique phospholipid/Ca2+-dependent phosphotransferase, protein kinase C (PK-C). Utilizing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, we have compared the IL 2 and diacylglycerol-induced protein phosphorylation patterns of several IL 2-dependent murine cell lines. Both IL 2 and synthetic diacylglycerol, 1-oleyl-2-acetylglycerol (OAG), stimulated phosphorylation of a number of protein substrates in intact cells compared to unstimulated controls. Three groups of substrates were identified; the first showed increased phosphorylation following stimulation with either IL 2 or OAG, while the second and third groups showed increased phosphorylation following stimulation with IL 2 but not OAG, and with OAG but not IL 2, respectively. Here, we characterize the kinetics of phosphorylation of one cellular substrate, p68, which appears to be phosphorylated in response to direct activators of PK-C or lymphoid or myeloid growth factors in their respective lineage cell lines. The observation that IL 2 also stimulates a unique series of phosphoproteins in addition to those induced by direct PK-C activators suggests that IL 2 may initiate additional protein kinase activities, unrelated to PK-C, which may also be critical for the ligand-receptor signal transduction process regulating growth and gene expression.

Abstract
The response of mammalian cells to abrupt changes in their local environment entails a series of coordinated transcription and translation events leading to the accumulation of a group of proteins, the stress proteins. As evidenced by the high similarities in the structure of the stress proteins amongst different organisms, the stress response appears to be a well-conserved, pre-planned strategy by which cells protect themselves against changes in their environmental circumstance. In addition to their presumed protective role, most of the stress proteins are expressed at significant levels in cells grown under normal conditions and participate in a number of biological phenomenon apparently distinct from their role during stress. For example, we have described here the role of some of the stress proteins in clathrin coated vesicle assembly/disassembly, tyrosine kinase and steroid hormone receptor function, and cell proliferation. In this regard it seems likely that we have only touched the surface regarding the many different biological processes which occur normally in cells and which involve the participation of the individual stress proteins. Of particular importance, as well, is to understand the role of the stress proteins, both individually and collectively, in protecting the cell during and after recovery from physiological stress. A breakthrough in this endeavor has come from the recent observation demonstrating the structural and biochemical similarities of many of the stress proteins and notably their ability to bind ATP. In this regard, I have described the immunological and biochemical similarities of the 70 kDa heat shock proteins with that of the 80 kDa glucose regulated protein and suggest that this family of proteins serves basically similar functions but within different intracellular compartments: the 70 kDa proteins being cytosolic and nuclear and 80 kDa being present within the endoplasmic reticulum. That a general rule is emerging here comes from the recent observation of Sorger and Pelham (in press) describing a significant sequence homology of the 90 kDa heat shock protein with that of the other glucose-regulated protein, 100 kDa. Here again, however, the proteins are distributed differently: 90 kDa is a soluble cytoplasmic protein and 100 kDa is present within the Golgi and perhaps the plasma membrane (Welch et al., 1984). Might all of the stress proteins have evolved from only a few genes with selection having resulted in different compartmentalization of the stress proteins?(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The presence of endogenous substrates of the protein kinase C (PKc) in rat thyroid glands has been demonstrated in in vitro phosphorylated cytosolic proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Rat thyroid PKc specifically catalyzes the phosphorylation of the 35 kDa and 18 kDa proteins. These proteins were not labelled in the presence of Ca2+ alone, but they were phosphorylated when phospholipids alone were added. In hyperplastic glands the total phosphorylation of endogenous proteins is stimulated, due to the increased labelling of the 35 kDa and 18 kDa proteins. No extra phosphorylated bands were revealed by PAGE analysis. After suppression of growth activity the labelling of the two PKc-specific substrates was strongly inhibited.

Abstract
Protein kinase C, an enzyme that is activated by the receptor-mediated hydrolysis of inositol phospholipids, relays information in the form of a variety of extracellular signals across the membrane to regulate many Ca2+-dependent processes. At an early phase of cellular responses, the enzyme appears to have a dual effect, providing positive forward as well as negative feedback controls over various steps of its own and other signaling pathways, such as the receptors that are coupled to inositol phospholipid hydrolysis and those of some growth factors. In biological systems, a positive signal is frequently followed by immediate negative feedback regulation. Such a novel role of this protein kinase system seems to give a logical basis for clarifying the biochemical mechanism of signal transduction, and to add a new dimension essential to our understanding of cell-to-cell communication.

Abstract
Living organisms are known to react to a heat stress by the selective induction in the synthesis of several polypeptides. In this review we list the major stress proteins of mammalian cells that are induced by heat shock and other environments and categorize these proteins into specific subgroups: the major heat shock proteins, the glucose-regulated proteins, and the low-molecular-weight heat shock proteins. Characteristics of the localization and expression of proteins in each of these subgroups are presented. Specifically, the nuclear/nucleolar locale of certain of the major heat shock proteins is considered with respect to their association with RNA and the recovery of cells after a heat exposure. The induction of these major heat shock proteins and the repression of the glucose-regulated proteins as a result of reoxygenation of anoxic cells or by the addition of glucose to glucose-deprived cultures is described. Changes in the expression of these protein systems during embryogenesis and differentiation in mammalian and nonmammalian systems is summarized, and the protective role that some of these proteins appear to play in protecting the animal against the lethal effects of a severe heat treatment and against teratogenesis is critically examined.

Abstract
The tumor promoter phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) increases the poly ADP-ribosylation of acid extractable (0.2N H2SO4) nuclear proteins in mouse embryo fibroblasts C3H10T1/2. Catalase suppresses the reaction by approximately 50%. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reveals that the core histones H2B, A24 and H3d serve as major poly ADP-ribose acceptors. Smaller amounts of poly ADP-ribose are associated with histones H2A/H3 and H1. Poly ADP-ribosylation of histones may change the nucleosomal structure and function and play a role in PMA induced modulation of gene expression in promotion.
