Chen YJ, Cheng SY, Liu CH, Tsai WC, Wu HH, Huang MD. Exploration of the truncated cytosolic Hsp70 in plants - unveiling the diverse T1 lineage and the conserved T2 lineage. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2023; 14:1279540. [PMID: 38034583 PMCID: PMC10687569 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1279540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) are chaperone proteins involved in protein folding processes. Truncated Hsp70 (Hsp70T) refers to the variant lacking a conserved C-terminal motif, which is crucial for co-chaperone interactions or protein retention. Despite their significance, the characteristics of Hsp70Ts in plants remain largely unexplored. In this study, we performed a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of 192 sequenced plant and green algae genomes to investigate the distribution and features of Hsp70Ts. Our findings unveil the widespread occurrence of Hsp70Ts across all four Hsp70 forms, including cytosolic, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrial, and chloroplast Hsp70s, with cytosolic Hsp70T being the most prevalent and abundant subtype. Cytosolic Hsp70T is characterized by two distinct lineages, referred to as T1 and T2. Among the investigated plant and green algae species, T1 genes were identified in approximately 60% of cases, showcasing a variable gene count ranging from one to several dozens. In contrast, T2 genes were prevalent across the majority of plant genomes, usually occurring in fewer than five gene copies per species. Sequence analysis highlights that the putative T1 proteins exhibit higher similarity to full-length cytosolic Hsp70s in comparison to T2 proteins. Intriguingly, the T2 lineage demonstrates a higher level of conservation within their protein sequences, whereas the T1 lineage presents a diverse range in the C-terminal and SBDα region, leading to categorization into four distinct subtypes. Furthermore, we have observed that T1-rich species characterized by the possession of 15 or more T1 genes exhibit an expansion of T1 genes into tandem gene clusters. The T1 gene clusters identified within the Laurales order display synteny with clusters found in a species of the Chloranthales order and another species within basal angiosperms, suggesting a conserved evolutionary relationship of T1 gene clusters among these plants. Additionally, T2 genes demonstrate distinct expression patterns in seeds and under heat stress, implying their potential roles in seed development and stress response.

Abstract
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) as a crop with important economic value, is widely cultivated around the world. The heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family in plant is indispensable under stress conditions. However, no comprehensive analysis of watermelon HSP70 family is reported to date. In this study, 12 ClHSP70 genes were identified from watermelon, which were unevenly located in 7 out of 11 chromosomes and divided into three subfamilies. ClHSP70 proteins were predicted to be localized primarily in cytoplasm, chloroplast, and endoplasmic reticulum. Two pairs of segmental repeats and 1 pair of tandem repeats existed in ClHSP70 genes, and ClHSP70s underwent strong purification selection. There were many abscisic acid (ABA) and abiotic stress response elements in ClHSP70 promoters. Additionally, the transcriptional levels of ClHSP70s in roots, stems, true leaves, and cotyledons were also analyzed. Some of ClHSP70 genes were also strongly induced by ABA. Furthermore, ClHSP70s also had different degrees of response to drought and cold stress. The above data indicate that ClHSP70s may be participated in growth and development, signal transduction and abiotic stress response, laying a foundation for further analysis of the function of ClHSP70s in biological processes.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSP) are molecular chaperones involved in many normal cellular processes and environmental stresses. At the genome-wide level, there were no reports on the diversity and phylogeny of the heat shock protein family in Procecidochares utilis. In this study, 43 HSPs were identified from the genome of P. utilis, including 12 small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), 23 heat shock protein 40 (DNAJs), 6 heat shock protein 70 (HSP70s), and 2 heat shock protein 90 (HSP90s). The characteristics of these candidates HSP genes were analyzed by BLAST, and then phylogenetic analysis was carried out. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the spatiotemporal expression patterns of sHSPs and HSP70s in P. utilis after temperature stress. Results showed that most sHSPs could be induced under heat stress during the adult stage of P. utilis, while a few HSP70s could be induced at the larval stage. This study provides an information framework for the HSP family of P. utilis. Moreover, it lays an important foundation for a better understanding of the role of HSP in the adaptability of P. utilis to various environments.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) genes play essential roles in guarding plants against abiotic stresses, including heat, drought, and salt. In this study, the SlHSP70 gene family in tomatoes has been characterized using bioinformatic tools. 25 putative SlHSP70 genes in the tomato genome were found and classified into five subfamilies, with multi-subcellular localizations. Twelve pairs of gene duplications were identified, and segmental events were determined as the main factor for the gene family expansion. Based on public RNA-seq data, gene expression analysis identified the majority of genes expressed in the examined organelles. Further RNA-seq analysis and then quantitative RT-PCR validation showed that many SlHSP70 members are responsible for cellular feedback to heat, drought, and salt treatments, in which, at least five genes might be potential key players in the stress response. Our results provided a thorough overview of the SlHSP70 gene family in the tomato, which may be useful for the evolutionary and functional analysis of SlHSP70 under abiotic stress conditions.

Abstract
Global warming can shift the range edges of numerous species poleward. Here, eelgrass distribution was reinvestigated at its southern limits on the eastern coast of China, which indicated that there has been a northward shift in the southern limit of Z. marina. To determine if regional warming resulted in a northward shift in suitable eelgrass habitats, sixteen transplantations of adult eelgrass shoots and seeds at the historical southern distribution limit of eelgrass were conducted between 2016 and 2021. The results showed that high water temperatures in summer had negative effects on eelgrass growth, and directly triggered shoot mortality during 2016–2018. Under heat stress, antioxidant enzyme activity was initially increased, but then decreased under more stressful heat conditions; and the HSP70 protein and its molecular chaperone protein were highly expressed under heat stress. These results demonstrated that suitable eelgrass habitat was now located further north along the eastern coast of China. High temperatures trigger seagrass (Zostera marina L.) restoration failure None seedlings and adult shoots survived the first or second summer Over-summering shoots with lower density, height, and rhizome diameter Warming northward shifting eelgrass habitat range along the eastern coast of China

Abstract
Vegetables are a distinct collection of plant-based foods that vary in nutritional diversity and form an important part of the healthy diet of the human being. Besides providing basic nutrition, they have great potential for boosting human health. The balanced consumption of vegetables is highly recommended for supplementing the human body with better nutrition density, dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. However, the production and quality of fresh vegetables are influenced directly or indirectly by exposure to high temperatures or heat stress (HS). A decline in quality traits and harvestable yield are the most common effects of HS among vegetable crops. Heat-induced morphological damage, such as poor vegetative growth, leaf tip burning, and rib discoloration in leafy vegetables and sunburn, decreased fruit size, fruit/pod abortion, and unfilled fruit/pods in beans, are common, often rendering vegetable cultivation unprofitable. Further studies to trace down the possible physiological and biochemical effects associated with crop failure reveal that the key factors include membrane damage, photosynthetic inhibition, oxidative stress, and damage to reproductive tissues, which may be the key factors governing heat-induced crop failure. The reproductive stage of plants has extensively been studied for HS-induced abnormalities. Plant reproduction is more sensitive to HS than the vegetative stages, and affects various reproductive processes like pollen germination, pollen load, pollen tube growth, stigma receptivity, ovule fertility and, seed filling, resulting in poorer yields. Hence, sound and robust adaptation and mitigation strategies are needed to overcome the adverse impacts of HS at the morphological, physiological, and biochemical levels to ensure the productivity and quality of vegetable crops. Physiological traits such as the stay-green trait, canopy temperature depression, cell membrane thermostability, chlorophyll fluorescence, relative water content, increased reproductive fertility, fruit numbers, and fruit size are important for developing better yielding heat-tolerant varieties/cultivars. Moreover, various molecular approaches such as omics, molecular breeding, and transgenics, have been proved to be useful in enhancing/incorporating tolerance and can be potential tools for developing heat-tolerant varieties/cultivars. Further, these approaches will provide insights into the physiological and molecular mechanisms that govern thermotolerance and pave the way for engineering "designer" vegetable crops for better health and nutritional security. Besides these approaches, agronomic methods are also important for adaptation, escape and mitigation of HS protect and improve yields.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins 70 (HSP70s) are steadily gaining more attention in the field of plant biotic interactions. Though their regulation and activity in plants are much less well characterized than are those of their counterparts in mammals, accumulating evidence indicates that the role of HSP70-mediated defense mechanisms in plant cells is indispensable. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of HSP70 post-translational control in plants. We comment on the phytohormonal regulation of HSP70 expression and protein abundance, and identify a prominent role for cytokinin in HSP70 control. We outline HSP70s' subcellular localizations, chaperone activity, and chaperone-mediated protein degradation. We focus on the role of HSP70s in plant pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity, and discuss the contribution of different HSP70 subfamilies to plant defense against pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat can be effective for bed bug elimination. However, in some cases bed bugs survive heat treatments. The objectives of this study were to determine the behavioral responses of bed bugs to rising harborage temperatures (23.0-49.0 °C) and identify which heat shock protein (HSP) genes are expressed after heat exposure. First, a custom-made copper arena and harborage were used to determine the escape behaviors of six bed bug populations. Next, HSP gene expression responses of select populations were determined after heat exposure using real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). RESULTS Analysis of the 25 min behavioral experiment data found that harborage top temperatures associated with 25%, 50% and 75% probabilities of bed bugs to flee the harborage did not differ significantly between populations. Also, the percentage of insects that escaped from heated areas and survived (4.0-12.0%) was not different between populations. However, when specific temperatures at which successful escapes occurred were statistically compared, the Poultry House population was found to flee the harborage at statistically higher temperatures (43.6 ± 0.5 °C) than others (40.5 ± 0.6-42.0 ± 0.7 °C). The RT-qPCR experiments revealed that the HSP70.1, HSP70.3, and Putative Small HSP genes were significantly up-regulated 15 min, 2, and 4 h post-heat exposure and decreased back to baseline levels by 24 h. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that when harborage top temperatures approach 40.0-43.0 °C, bed bugs will disperse in search for cooler areas. This work implicates the HSP70.1, HSP70.3, and Putative Small HSP genes in heat induced stress recovery of bed bugs. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Heat shock 70kDa proteins (HSP70s) and their cochaperones DNAJs are ubiquitous molecular chaperones, which function as the “HSP70/DNAJ machinery” in a myriad of biological processes. At present, a number of HSP70s have been classified in many species, but studies on DNAJs, especially in insects, are lacking. Here, we first systematically identified and characterized the HSP70 and DNAJ family members in the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, a destructive rice pest in Asia. A total of nine HSP70 and 31 DNAJ genes were identified in the BPH genome. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses revealed the high diversity of the NlDNAJ family. Additionally, spatio-temporal expression analysis showed that most NlHSP70 and NlDNAJ genes were highly expressed in the adult stage and gonads. Furthermore, RNA interference (RNAi) revealed that seven NlHSP70s and 10 NlDNAJs play indispensable roles in the nymphal development, oogenesis, and female fertility of N. lugens under physiological growth conditions; in addition, one HSP70 (NlHSP68) was found to be important in the thermal tolerance of eggs. Together, our results in this study shed more light on the biological roles of HSP70/DNAJ in regulating life cycle, coping with environmental stresses, and mediating the interactions within, or between, the two gene families in insects.

Abstract
Heat shock factors (Hsfs) and heat shock proteins (Hsps) play a critical role in the molecular mechanisms such as plant development and defense against abiotic. As an important food crop, maize is vulnerable to adverse environment such as heat stress and water logging, which leads to a decline in yield and quality. To date, very little is known regarding the structure and function of Hsf and Hsp genes in maize. Although some Hsf and Hsp genes have been characterized in maize, analysis of the entire Hsf and Hsp70 gene families were not completed following Maize (B73) Genome Sequencing Project. Therefore, studying their molecular mechanism and revealing their biological function in plant stress resistance process will contribute to reveal important theoretical significance and application value for improving corn yield and quality. In this study, we have identified 25 ZmHsf and 22 ZmHsp70 genes in maize. The structural characteristics and phylogenetic relationships of the Hsf and Hsp70 gene families of Arabidopsis thaliana, rice and maize were compared. The final 25 ZmHsf proteins and 22 ZmHsp70 proteins were divided into three and four subfamilies, respectively. In addition, chromosomal localization indicated that the ZmHsf and ZmHsp70 genes were unevenly distributed on the chromosome, and the gene structure map revealed the characteristics of their structures. Finally, transcriptome analysis indicated that most of the ZmHsf and ZmHsp70 genes showed different expression patterns at different developmental stages of maize. Further, by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and quantitative real-time PCR analysis, all 25 ZmHsf and 22 ZmHsp70 genes were confirmed to respond to heat stress treatment, indicating that they have potential effects in heat stress response. The analyses performed by combining co-expression network with protein-protein interaction network among the members of the Hsf and Hsp70 gene families in maize further enabled us to recognize components involved in the regulatory network associated with hsfs and hsp70s complex. The predicted subcellular location revealed that maize Hsp70 proteins exhibited a various subcellular distribution, which may be associated with functional diversification in heat stress response. Taken together, our study provides comprehensive information on the members of Hsf and Hsp70 gene families and will help in elucidating their exact function in maize.

Abstract
Insects are ecotothermic organisms. Their development, survival, reproduction as well as distribution and abundance are affected by temperature. Heat shock protein (HSP) gene expression is closely associated with temperature variation and influences the adaptation of organisms to adverse environments. The beetle Agasicles hygrophila has successfully been used for biological control of the invasive plant alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides). As A. hygrophila populations are substantially inhibited by high temperatures in the summer, increasing global temperatures may limit the efficacy of this control agent. We previously established that A. hygrophila eggs have low tolerance to heat and this factored into the decreased numbers of A. hygrophila beetles at temperatures of 37.5°C and above. Here, we identified 26 HSP genes in A. hygrophila and examined the relationship between the transcript levels of these genes and heat tolerance. The temperature at which the expression of these 21 HSP genes peaked (Tpeak) was 37.5°C, which is in line with the limit of the high temperatures that A. hygrophila eggs tolerate. Therefore, we speculate that the Tpeak of HSP gene expression in eggs indicates the upper limit of temperatures that A. hygrophila eggs tolerate. This study identifies HSP genes as potential robust biomarkers and emphasizes that determining species' heat tolerance in their natural habitats remains an important consideration for biocontrol. HSP gene expression data provide information about a species' heat tolerance and may be used to predict its geographical distribution.

HSP Transcript and Protein Accumulation in Brassinosteroid Barley Mutants Acclimated to Low and High Temperatures. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21051889.

Abstract
In temperature stress, the main role of heat-shock proteins (HSP) is to act as molecular chaperones for other cellular proteins. However, knowledge about the hormonal regulation of the production of the HSP is quite limited. Specifically, little is known about the role of the plant steroid hormones—brassinosteroids (BR)—in regulating the HSP expression. The aim of our study was to answer the question of how a BR deficit or disturbances in its signaling affect the accumulation of the HSP90, HSP70, HSP18, and HSP17 transcripts and protein in barley growing at 20 °C (control) and during the acclimation of plants at 5 °C and 27 °C. In barley, the temperature of plant growth modified the expression of HSPs. Furthermore, the BR-deficient mutants (mutations in the HvDWARF or HvCPD genes) and BR-signaling mutants (mutation in the HvBRI1 gene) were characterized by altered levels of the transcripts and proteins of the HSP group compared to the wild type. The BR-signaling mutant was characterized by a decreased level of the HSP transcripts and heat-shock proteins. In the BR-deficient mutants, there were temperature-dependent cases when the decreased accumulation of the HSP70 and HSP90 transcripts was connected to an increased accumulation of these HSP. The significance of changes in the accumulation of HSPs during acclimation at 27 °C and 5 °C is discussed in the context of the altered tolerance to more extreme temperatures of the studied mutants (i.e., heat stress and frost, respectively).

Abstract
Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is an invasive pest that endangers a wide variety of horticultural and agronomic crops. HSP70 is the most important member of the heat shock protein (HSP) family and plays an important role in insect thermal tolerance. In this study, a new gene encoding HSP70 from F. occidentalis, Fohsp706, was selected from the F. occidentalis transcriptome exposed to thermal stress (40 °C) and cloned by RT-PCR and RACE. Further characterization indicated that Fohsp706 localizes to the cytoplasm and does not contain introns. Quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR indicated that Fohsp706 expression was significantly up-regulated by thermal stress; furthermore, there were significant differences in Fohsp706 expression in adults and second instar nymphs after heat stress. Our results indicated that Fohsp706 contributes to thermotolerance in F. occidentalis and provides another example of how this pest adapts to unfavorable environmental conditions.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), a 70-kDa protein, also known as a molecular chaperone, is highly conserved. It plays a major role in cellular functions such as protein folding, regulation of protein degradation, translocation of proteins across membranes, receptor signaling, and protein assembly or disassembly. Vigna radiata is an important legume crop with available whole-genome sequence, but no such study on the HSP70 family is reported. A total of 32 V. radiate HSP70s (Vr-HSP70s) were identified and described. They are phylogenetically clustered into four subgroups. Vr-HSP70s show variations in intron/exon organization. This indicates that introns may play an essential role in gene regulating. The coexpression analysis of Vr-HSP70s revealed that these genes were involved in both abiotic and biotic stresses. Three cytoplasmic hub genes namely Vr-HSP70-C-14, Vr-HSP70-C-29, and Vr-HSP70-C-30 were found common in both stresses. Our findings provide directions for future studies to dissect functional analysis of Vr-HSP70s in response to abiotic and biotic stresses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins have important functions in regulating plant growth and response to abiotic stress. HSP70 family genes have been described in several plant species, but a comprehensive analysis of the HSP70 family genes in cabbage has not been reported to date, especially their roles in floral development. RESULTS In this study, we identified 52 BoHSP70 genes in cabbage. The gene structures, motifs, and chromosome locations of the BoHSP70 genes were analyzed. The genes were divided into seven classes using a phylogenetic analysis. An expression analysis showed that the BoHSP70 genes were highly expressed in actively growing tissues, including buds and calluses. In addition, six BoHSP70 genes were highly expressed in the binuclear-pollen-stage buds of a male fertile line compared with its near isogenic sterile line. These results were further verified using qRT-PCR. Subcellular localization analysis of the bud-specific gene BoHSP70-5 showed that it was localized in the cytoplasm. CONCLUSIONS Our results help to elucidate the involvement of the BoHSP70 family genes in cabbage floral development and establish the groundwork for future research on the functions of these genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that are involved in many normal cellular processes and various kinds of environmental stress. There is still no report regarding the diversity and phylogenetics research of HSP superfamily of genes at whole genome level in insects, and the HSP gene association with pyrethroid resistance is also not well known. The present study investigated the diversity, classification, scaffold location, characteristics, and phylogenetics of the superfamily of genes in Anopheles sinensis genome, and the HSP genes associated with pyrethroid resistance. METHODS The present study identified the HSP genes in the An. sinensis genome, analysed their characteristics, and deduced phylogenetic relationships of all HSPs in An. sinensis, Anopheles gambiae, Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti by bioinformatic methods. Importantly, the present study screened the HSPs associated with pyrethroid resistance using three field pyrethroid-resistant populations with RNA-seq and RT-qPCR, and looked over the HSP gene expression pattern for the first time in An. sinensis on the time-scale post insecticide treatment with RT-qPCR. RESULTS There are 72 HSP genes in An. sinensis genome, and they are classified into five families and 11 subfamilies based on their molecular weight, homology and phylogenetics. Both RNA-seq and qPCR analysis revealed that the expression of AsHSP90AB, AsHSP70-2 and AsHSP21.7 are significantly upregulated in at least one field pyrethroid-resistant population. Eleven genes are significantly upregulated in different period after pyrethroid exposure. The HSP90, sHSP and HSP70 families are proposed to be involved in pyrethroid stress response based in expression analyses of three field pyrethroid-resistant populations, and expression pattern on the time scale post insecticide treatment. The AsHSP90AB gene is proposed to be the essential HSP gene for pyrethroid stress response in An. sinensis. CONCLUSIONS This study provides the information frame for HSP superfamily of genes, and lays an important basis for the better understanding and further research of HSP function in insect adaptability to diverse environments.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins 70 (Hsp70) constitute a highly conserved protein family of cellular chaperones widely distributed in plants, where they play a fundamental role in response to biotic and abiotic stress. Until now, genome-wide analyses of the Hsp70 gene family have been conducted for some species. However, reports about Hsp70 genes in Nicotiana tabacum are scarce. In this study, we systematically conducted genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the Hsp70 gene family in tobacco, including gene structure, classification, evolutionary relationships, promoters, and transcript levels in response to abiotic stress treatments. In all, 61 Hsp70 members were identified and classified into six groups that were mapped onto 18 chromosomes, where most were distributed on both ends of the chromosome. The conserved structures and motifs of NtHsp70 proteins in the same subfamily were highly consistent. At least 15 pairs of NtHsp70 genes underwent gene duplication by segment and tandem duplications. Most NtHsp70 proteins contained N-terminal hexokinase conserved motifs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that most species expanded according to their own species-specific approach during the evolution of Hsp70s. Tissue-specific expression analysis indicated that all NtHsp70 genes were involved in at least one or more abiotic stress responses, highlighting the wide participation of NtHsp70 genes in environmental adaptation. This is the first genome-wide analysis of Hsp70 in N. tabacum. These results indicate that each NtHsp70 member fulfilled distinct functions in response to various abiotic stresses.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a type of conserved molecular chaperone. They exist extensively in plants and greatly contribute to their survival under heat stress. The transcriptional regulation factor heat shock factor (HSF) is thought to regulate the expression of Hsps. In this study, a novel gene designated BcHsfA1 was cloned and characterized from Brassica campestris. Bioinformatic analysis implied that BcHsfA1 belongs to the HsfA gene family and is most closely related to HsfA1 from other plants. Constitutive overexpression of BcHsfA1 significantly improved heat tolerance of tobacco seedlings by affecting physiological and biochemical processes. Moreover, the chlorophyll content of transgenic tobacco plants was significantly increased compared with wild type after heat stress, as were the activities of the important enzymatic antioxidants superoxide dismutase and peroxidase. BcHsfA1 overexpression also resulted in decreased malondialdehyde content and comparative electrical conductivity and increased soluble sugar content in transgenic tobacco plants than wild-type plants exposed to heat stress. Furthermore, we identified 11 candidate heat response genes that were significantly up-regulated in the transgenic lines exposed to heat stress. Together, these results suggested that BcHsfA1 is effective in improving heat tolerance of tobacco seedlings, which may be useful in the development of new heat-resisitant B. campestris strains by genetic engineering.

Abstract
Marine organisms experience abiotic stressors such as fluctuations in temperature, UV radiation, salinity, and oxygen concentration. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) assist in the response of cells to these stressors by refolding and maintaining the activity of damaged proteins. The well-conserved Hsp70 chaperone family is essential for cell viability as well as the response to stress. Organisms possess a variety of Hsp70 isoforms that differ slightly in amino acid sequence, yet very little is known about their functional relevance. In this study, we undertook analysis of three principal Hsp70 isoforms NvHsp70A, B, and D from the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. The functionality of Hsp70 isoforms in the starlet sea anemone was assessed through transcriptional analysis and by heterologous expression in budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Interestingly, these isoforms were found to not only differ in expression under stress but also appear to have functional differences in their ability to mediate the cellular stress program. These results contribute to an understanding of Hsp70 isoform specificity, their shared and unique roles in response to acute and chronic environmental stress, and the potential basis of local adaptation in populations of N. vectensis.

Zhang S, Ai G, Li M, Ye Z, Zhang J. Tomato LrgB regulates heat tolerance and the assimilation and partitioning of carbon. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2018; 274:309-319. [PMID: 30080617 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2018.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2018] [Revised: 05/28/2018] [Accepted: 06/02/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The impact of extreme and sustained high temperatures on plant growth has become increasingly prominent. Heat shock cognate 70-kDa proteins play an important role in plant heat tolerance. In this study, we identified and characterized the tomato ortholog of LrgB (SlLrgB), and demonstrate that it interacts with Hsc70.1. Similar to other genes that encode chloroplast-localized proteins, the expression of SlLrgB is upregulated in green tissues and suppressed by heat shock. Functional analyses utilizing transgenic plants indicate that SlLrgB contributes to chlorophyll metabolism. Both the overexpression and the RNA interference-mediated suppression of SlLrgB led to chlorotic leaves, reduced plant height, smaller size and decreases in pigment levels in ripening fruits. However, the starch levels in the SlLrgB-RNAi lines were significantly increased and the heat tolerance of SlLrgB-RNAi was obvious elevated. Downregulating the expression of Hsc70.1 by VIGS in tomato led to retarded growth, chlorotic leaves, and increased expression of SlLrgB. Based on these data, we suggest that SlLrgB regulates chlorophyll metabolism and the assimilation and partitioning of carbon. We also suggest that Hsc70.1 and SlLrgB contribute to heat tolerance and that Hsc70.1 negatively regulates SlLrgB.

Abstract
Biotic and abiotic stresses are the major causes of crop loss in lily worldwide. In this study, we retrieved 12 defense-related expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from the NCBI database and cloned, characterized, and established seven of these genes as stress-induced genes in Lilium formolongi. Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR (RACE-PCR), we successfully cloned seven full-length mRNA sequences from L. formolongi line Sinnapal lily. Based on the presence of highly conserved characteristic domains and phylogenetic analysis using reference protein sequences, we provided new nomenclature for the seven nucleotide and protein sequences and submitted them to GenBank. The real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) relative expression analysis of these seven genes, including LfHsp70-1, LfHsp70-2, LfHsp70-3, LfHsp90, LfUb, LfCyt-b5, and LfRab, demonstrated that they were differentially expressed in all organs examined, possibly indicating functional redundancy. We also investigated the qPCR relative expression levels under two biotic and four abiotic stress conditions. All seven genes were induced by Botrytis cinerea treatment, and all genes except LfHsp70-3 and LfHsp90 were induced by Botrytis elliptica treatment; these genes might be associated with disease tolerance mechanisms in L. formolongi. In addition, LfHsp70-1, LfHsp70-2, LfHsp70-3, LfHsp90, LfUb, and LfCyt-b5 were induced by heat treatment, LfHsp70-1, LfHsp70-2, LfHsp70-3, LfHsp90, and LfCyt-b5 were induced by cold treatment, and LfHsp70-1, LfHsp70-2, LfHsp70-3, LfHsp90, LfCy-b5, and LfRab were induced by drought and salt stress, indicating their likely association with tolerance to these stress conditions. The stress-induced candidate genes identified in this study provide a basis for further functional analysis and the development of stress-resistant L. formolongi cultivars.

Abstract
Improved knowledge about plant cold stress tolerance offered by modern omics technologies will greatly inform future crop improvement strategies that aim to breed cultivars yielding substantially high under low-temperature conditions. Alarmingly rising temperature extremities present a substantial impediment to the projected target of 70% more food production by 2050. Low-temperature (LT) stress severely constrains crop production worldwide, thereby demanding an urgent yet sustainable solution. Considerable research progress has been achieved on this front. Here, we review the crucial cellular and metabolic alterations in plants that follow LT stress along with the signal transduction and the regulatory network describing the plant cold tolerance. The significance of plant genetic resources to expand the genetic base of breeding programmes with regard to cold tolerance is highlighted. Also, the genetic architecture of cold tolerance trait as elucidated by conventional QTL mapping and genome-wide association mapping is described. Further, global expression profiling techniques including RNA-Seq along with diverse omics platforms are briefly discussed to better understand the underlying mechanism and prioritize the candidate gene (s) for downstream applications. These latest additions to breeders' toolbox hold immense potential to support plant breeding schemes that seek development of LT-tolerant cultivars. High-yielding cultivars endowed with greater cold tolerance are urgently required to sustain the crop yield under conditions severely challenged by low-temperature.

Abstract
Hsp70s function as molecular chaperones and are encoded by a multi-gene family whose members play a crucial role in plant response to stress conditions, and in plant growth and development. Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an important vegetable crop whose genome has been sequenced. Nonetheless, no overall analysis of the Hsp70 gene family is reported in this crop plant to date. To assess the functionality of Capsicum annuum Hsp70 (CaHsp70) genes, pepper genome database was analyzed in this research. A total of 21 CaHsp70 genes were identified and their characteristics were also described. The promoter and transcript expression analysis revealed that CaHsp70s were involved in pepper growth and development, and heat stress response. Ectopic expression of a cytosolic gene, CaHsp70-2, regulated expression of stress-related genes and conferred increased thermotolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. Taken together, our results provide the basis for further studied to dissect CaHsp70s' function in response to heat stress as well as other environmental stresses.

Abstract
The present study is aimed to identify and characterize HSP70 (PvHSP70) genes in two different common bean cultivars under salt stress. For this purpose various in silico methods such as RNAseq data and qRT-PCR analysis were used. A total of 24 candidate PvHSP70 gene were identified. Except for chromosome 4 and 7, these candidate PvHSP70 genes were distributed on the remaining chromosomes. While the lowest number of PvHSP70 genes was determined on chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 (one HSP70 gene), the highest number of PvHSP70s was on chromosomes 6 and 8 (seven HSP70 genes each). Three genes; PvHSP70-5, -9, and -10 were found to have no-introns. In addition, four tandemly and six segmentally duplicated gene couples were detected. A total of 13 PvHSP70 genes were targeted by miRNAs of 44 plant species and the most targeted genes were PvHSP70-5 and -23. The expression profile of PvHSP70 genes based on publicly available RNA-seq data was identified and salt treated leaf tissue was found to have more gene expression levels compared to the root. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the transcript concentrations of upregulated PvHSP70 genes in leaves of Zulbiye (sensitive) were mostly higher than those of Yakutiye (resistant). The present study revealed that PvHSP70 genes might play an important role in salt stress response for common bean cultivars and variability between cultivars also suggests that these genes could be used as functional markers for salt tolerance in common bean.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) exist extensively in eukaryotes and are conserved molecular chaperones with important contribution to plant's survival under environmental stresses. Here, the cloning and characterization of one complementary DNA (cDNA) designated as BcHSP70 from young seedlings of Brassica campestris were reported in the present work. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that BcHSP70 belongs to the plant HSP gene family and had the closest relationship with HSP70-4 from Arabidopsis thaliana. Constitutive overexpression of BcHSP70 in tobacco obviously conferred tolerance to heat stress by affecting different plant physiological parameters. In our study, transgenic tobaccos exhibited higher chlorophyll content than wild-type control when exposed to heat stress. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities, which were helpful to decrease the damage to the membrane system, were significantly higher in transformants compared to wild-type lines. Meanwhile, lower comparative electrical conductivity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content and higher proline and soluble sugar accumulation were found in transgenic tobaccos than in wild-type lines. All these above results indicated that this isolated BcHSP70 cDNA owned the ability to improve the tolerance to heat stress in transgenic tobacco, which provides helpful information and good basement to culture new robust B. campestris variety resistant to high-temperature stress by molecular breeding in the future.

Abstract
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), the primary member of the HSPs that play various stress-protective roles in plants. In this study, a hsp70 gene of Kandelia obovata (KoHsp70) was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The full-length of KoHsp70 was 2255 bp, consisting of a 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 118 bp, a 3'-terminal UTR of 178 bp, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 1959 bp. The ORF (KoHSP70) was predicted to encode a polypeptide of 652 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight (MW) of 71.40 kDa and a pI of 5.16. The amino acid sequence analysis revealed that the KoHSP70 contained three conserved regions of HSP70 family, a bipartite nuclear localization signal sequences (NLS), an ATP/GTP-binding site motif and a cytoplasmic characteristic motif (EEVD). Homology analysis indicated that KoHSP70 shared 96.0 % identity with the known HSP70 (Gossypium hirsutum). Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the KoHSP70 was hydrophilic and had no signal peptide or transmembrane region. The mRNA expression of KoHsp70 kept relatively stable at first and then increased significantly after 48 h cold stress, and reached the highest level at 168 h after cold treatment. The results indicated that the KoHsp70 was a stress-inducible gene that might play a role in cold stress-protective response and in coping with environmental and biological stresses for K. obovata. This study provided a basis to further study the mechanism of anti-adverseness and expression characteristics under stress conditions of K. obovata.

Abstract
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is sensitive to heat stress (HS). Heat shock proteins 70 (Hsp70s) play a crucial role in protecting plant cells against HS and control varies characters in different plants. However, CaHsp70-1 gene was not well characterized in pepper. In this study, CaHsp70-1 was cloned from the pepper thermotolerant line R9, which encoded a protein of 652 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 71.54 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.20. CaHsp70-1 belongs to the cytosolic Hsp70 subgroup, and best matched with tomato SlHsp70. CaHsp70-1 was highly induced in root, stem, leaf and flower in R9 with HS treatment (40 °C for 2 h). In both thermosensitive line B6 and thermotolerant line R9, CaHsp70-1 significantly increased after 0.5 h of HS (40 °C), and maintained in a higher level after 4 h HS. The expression of CaHsp70-1 induced by CaCl2, H2O2 and putrescine (Put) under HS were difference between B6 and R9 lines. The different expression patterns may be related to the differences in promoters of CaHsp70-1 from the two lines. These results suggest that CaHsp70-1 as a member of cytosolic Hsp70 subgroup, may be involved in HS defense response via a signal transduction pathway contained Ca2+, H2O2 and Put.

Abstract
Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) is an important genetic reservoir for rice improvement. We investigated a quantitative trait locus (QTL), qGP5-1, which is related to plant height, leaf size and panicle architecture, using a set of introgression lines of O. rufipogon in the background of the Indica cultivar Guichao2 (Oryza sativa L.). We cloned and characterized qGP5-1 and confirmed that the newly identified gene OsEBS (enhancing biomass and spikelet number) increased plant height, leaf size and spikelet number per panicle, leading to an increase in total grain yield per plant. Our results showed that the increased size of vegetative organs in OsEBS-expressed plants was enormously caused by increasing cell number. Sequence alignment showed that OsEBS protein contains a region with high similarity to the N-terminal conserved ATPase domain of Hsp70, but it lacks the C-terminal regions of the peptide-binding domain and the C-terminal lid. More results indicated that OsEBS gene did not have typical characteristics of Hsp70 in this study. Furthermore, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transformed with OsEBS showed a similar phenotype to OsEBS-transgenic rice, indicating a conserved function of OsEBS among plant species. Together, we report the cloning and characterization of OsEBS, a new QTL that controls rice biomass and spikelet number, through map-based cloning, and it may have utility in improving grain yield in rice.

Abstract
Heat stress results in misfolding and aggregation of cellular proteins. Heat shock proteins (Hsp) enable the cells to maintain proper folding of proteins, both in unstressed as well as stressed conditions. Hsp70 genes encode for a group of highly conserved chaperone proteins across the living systems encompassing bacteria, plants, and animals. In the cellular chaperone network, Hsp70 family proteins interconnect other chaperones and play a dominant role in various cell processes. To assess the functionality of rice Hsp70 genes, rice genome database was analyzed. Rice genome contains 32 Hsp70 genes. Rice Hsp70 superfamily genes are represented by 24 Hsp70 family and 8 Hsp110 family members. Promoter and transcript expression analysis divulges that Hsp70 superfamily genes plays important role in heat stress. Ssc1 (mitochondrial Hsp70 protein in yeast) deleted yeast show compromised growth at 37 °C. Three mitochondrial rice Hsp70 sequences (i.e., mtHsp70-1, mtHsp70-2, and mtHsp70-3) complemented the Ssc1 mutation of yeast to differential extents. The information presented in this study provides detailed understanding of the Hsp70 protein family of rice, the crop species that is the major food for the world population.

Abstract
When plants are exposed to extreme temperature, stress-inducible proteins are highly induced and involved in subcellular defence mechanisms. Hsp70, one of stress-inducible proteins, functions as an ATP-dependent molecular chaperone in broad organisms to process such as the inhibition of protein denaturation, promotion of protein folding, and renaturation of denatured proteins. In this study, we isolated a heat-inducible orchardgrass Hsp70 (DgHsp70) that is a homolog of cytosolic Hsp70 that possesses a CaM-binding domain. Purified DgHsp70 protein displayed dose-dependent ATPase, holdase, and ATP-dependent foldase activities. To investigate functional roles of DgHsp70 by the association of Arabidopsis calmodulin-2 (AtCaM2), showing heat-sensitive reduction on transcription, we first characterized the binding activity by gel-overlay assay. DgHsp70 binds to AtCaM2 in the presence of Ca(2+) via a conserved CaM-binding domain. Ca(2+)/AtCaM2 binding decreased ATPase activity of DgHsp70, and concomitantly, reduced foldase activity. Based on the protein structure of bovine Hsc70, which is the closest structural homolog of DgHsp70, a CaM-binding domain is located near the ATP-binding site and CaM may span the ATP-binding pocket of Hsp70. Its decreased functional foldase activity may be caused by blocking ATP hydrolysis after Ca(2+)/AtCaM2 binding. It may associate with inhibition of functional activity of DgHsp70 in the absence of stress and/or de novo protein synthesis of DgHsp70 in the presence of thermal stress condition.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins and molecular chaperones are key components contributing to survival in the abiotic stress response. Porphyra seriata grows on intertidal rocks exposed to dynamic environmental changes associated with the turning tides, including desiccation and heat stress. Analysis of the ESTs of P. seriata allows us to identify the nine HSP cDNAs, which are predicted to be PsHSP90, three PsHSP70, PsHSP40 and PsHSP20, and three 5'-truncated HSP cDNAs. RT-PCR results show that most of the PsHSP transcripts were detected under normal cell growth conditions as well as heat stress, with the exception of two cDNAs. In particular, PsHSP70b and PsHSP20 transcripts were upregulated by heat stress. When the putative mitochondrial PsHSP70b was introduced and overexpressed in Chlamydomonas, transformed Chlamydomonas evidenced higher rates of survival and growth than those of the wild type under heat stress conditions. Constitutive overexpression of the PsHSP70b gene increases the transcription of the HSF1 as well as the CrHSP20 and CrHSP70 gene. These results indicate that PsHSP70b is involved in tolerance to heat stress and the effects on transcription of the CrHSP20 and CrHSP70 genes.

Abstract
Plant viral capsid proteins (CP) can be involved in virus movement, replication and symptom development as a result of their interaction with host factors. The identification of such interactions may thus provide information about viral pathogenesis. In this study, Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) CP was used as bait to screen a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) cDNA library for potential interactors in yeast. Of seven independent interacting clones, six were predicted to encode the C-termini of the heat shock cognate 70 (Hsc70) proteins. Three full length tomato Hsc70s (named Hsc70.1, .2, .3) were used to confirm the interaction in the yeast two hybrid assay and bimolecular fluorescent complementation (BiFC) in planta. The PepMV CP-Hsc70 interaction was confirmed only in the case of Hsc70.3 for both assays. In BiFC, the interaction was visualized in the cytoplasm and nucleus of agroinfiltrated Nicotiana benthamiana epidermal cells. During PepMV infection, Hsc70.3 mRNA levels were induced and protein accumulation increased at 48 and 72 h post inoculation. In transmission electron microscopy using immunogold labelling techniques, Hsc70 was detected to co-localize with virions in the phloem of PepMV-infected tomato leaves. These observations, together with the co-purification of Hsc70 with PepMV virions further support the notion of a PepMV CP/Hsc70 interaction during virus infection.

Abstract
70 kDa heat shock proteins (Hsp70s) act as molecular chaperones involved in essential cellular processes such as protein folding and protein transport across membranes. They also play a role in the cell's response to a wide range of stress conditions. The Arabidopsis family of Hsp70s homologues includes two highly conserved proteins, cpHsc70-1 and cpHsc70-2 which are both imported into chloroplasts (Su and Li in Plant Physiol 146:1231-1241, 2008). Here, we demonstrate that YFP-fusion proteins of both cpHsc70-1 and cpHsc70-2 are predominantly stromal, though low levels were detected in the thylakoid membrane. Both genes are ubiquitously expressed at high levels in both seedlings and adult plants. We further show that both cpHsc70-1 and cpHsc70-2 harbour ATPase activity which is essential for Hsp70 chaperone activity. A previously described T-DNA insertion line for cpHsc70-1 (DeltacpHsc70-1) has variegated cotyledons, malformed leaves, growth retardation, impaired root growth and sensitivity to heat shock treatment. In addition, under stress conditions, this mutant also exhibits unusual sepals, and malformed flowers and sucrose concentrations as low as 1% significantly impair growth. cpHsc70-1/cpHsc70-2 double-mutants are lethal. However, we demonstrate through co-suppression and artificial microRNA (amiRNA) approaches that transgenic plants with severely reduced levels of both genes have a white and stunted phenotype. Interestingly, chloroplasts in these plants have an unusual morphology and contain few or no thylakoid membranes. Our data show that cpHsc70-1 and cpHsc70-2 are essential ATPases, have overlapping roles and are required for normal plastid structure.

Abstract
With seasonal changes, several proteins accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-enriched fraction in the bark of mulberry tree (Morus bombycis Koidz.). Results of partial amino acid sequence analysis in our previous study suggested that one of these proteins is the ER-localized small heat shock protein (sHSP), designated 20-kD winter-accumulating protein (WAP20). In the present study, molecular and biochemical properties of WAP20 were investigated in detail. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cDNA has the predicted signal sequence to the ER, retention signal to the ER and two consensus regions conserved in sHSPs. Recombinant WAP20 expressed in Escherichia coli also showed typical biochemical features of sHSPs, including the formation of a high-molecular-mass complex between 200 and 300 kD under native conditions, promotion of the renaturation of chemically denaturated citrate synthase and prevention of heat stress-induced aggregation of the enzyme. Transcript levels of WAP20 in the bark tissue were seasonally changed, showing high expression levels from mid-October to mid-December, and the transcript levels were additionally increased and decreased by cold treatment and warm treatment, respectively. WAP20 transcripts were detected abundantly in bark tissue rather than xylem and winter bud tissues during seasonal cold acclimation. The bark tissue specificity of WAP20 accumulation was also observed by exogenous application of phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) in de-acclimated twigs, whereas WAP20 transcripts were increased in all of these tissues by heat shock treatment at 37 degrees C in summer twigs. The results suggest that ABA may be involved in the expression of the WAP20 gene in bark tissue of the mulberry tree during seasonal cold acclimation.

Abstract
Members of the family of 70-kD heat shock proteins (HSP70 s) play various stress-protective roles in plants. In this study, a wheat HSP70 gene was isolated from a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA library of wheat leaves infected by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici. The gene, that was designated as TaHSC70, was predicted to encode a protein of 690 amino acids, with a molecular mass of 73.54 KDa and a pI of 5.01. Further analysis revealed the presence of a conserved signature that is characteristic for HSP70s and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that TaHSC70 is a homolog of chloroplast HSP70s. TaHSC70 mRNA was present in leaves of both green and etiolated wheat seedlings and in stems and roots. The transcript level in roots was approximately threefold less than in leaves but light-dark treatment did not charge TaHSC70 expression. Following heat shock of wheat seedlings at 40°C, TaHSC70 expression increased in leaves of etiolated seedlings but remained stable at the same level in green seedlings. In addition, TaHSC70 was differentially expressed during an incompatible and compatible interaction with wheat-stripe rust, and there was a transient increase in expression upon treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment. Salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments had no influence on TaHSC70 expression. These results suggest that TaHSC70 plays a role in stress-related responses, and in defense responses elicited by infection with stripe rust fungus and does so via a JA-dependent signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones (Hsps) have been shown to facilitate protein folding or assembly under various developmental and adverse environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to unravel a possible role of heat-shock proteins in conferring abiotic stress tolerance to plants. We isolated a cDNA encoding a cytoplasmic Hsp70 (PgHsc70) from Pennisetum glaucum by screening heat-stress cDNA library. PgHsc70 cDNA encoding 649 amino acids represents all conserved signature motifs characteristic of Hsp70s. The predicted molecular model of PgHsc70 protein suggests that the N-terminus ATP-binding region is evolutionarily conserved, in comparison to C-terminus peptide-binding domains. A single intron in ATPase domain coding region of PgHsc70 exhibited a high degree of conservation with respect to its position and phasing among other plant Hsp70 genes. Recombinant PgHsc70 protein purified from E. coli possessed in vitro chaperone activity and protected PgHsc70 expressing bacteria from damage caused by heat and salinity stress. Nucleotide sequence analysis of 5' flanking promoter region of PgHsc70 gene revealed a potential heat-shock element (HSE) and other putative stress-responsive transcription factor binding sites. Positive correlation existed between differentially up-regulated PgHsc70 transcript levels and the duration and intensity of different environmental stresses. Molecular and biochemical analyses revealed that PgHsc70 gene was a member of the Hsp70 family and suggested that its origin was from duplication of a common ancestral gene. Transcript induction data, presence of several putative stress-responsive transcription factor-binding sites in the promoter region of PgHsc70 and the presence of a protective in vitro chaperone activity of this protein against damage caused by heat and salinity, when expressed in E. coli, suggest its probable role in conferring abiotic stress tolerance to this plant.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are a class of molecular chaperones that play an essential role in preserving cellular functions under stressful conditions. The over production of recombinant proteins often causes cellular stress that results in aggregation/misfolding of proteins, which sometimes leads to the formation of inclusion bodies. Here we report the cloning and characterization of heat-inducible PgHsp70 from Pennisetum glaucum, a heat and drought tolerant plant that showed stability and chaperone activity at elevated temperatures. The predicted amino acid sequence of PgHsp70 revealed a high homology with Hsp70 from other plants, and the overall 3D structure homology modeling is similar to that of the constitutively expressed bovine cytosolic Heat Shock Cognate (HSC)-70. The purified recombinant protein had an apparent molecular mass of 70 kDa and displayed optimal chaperone activity at 50 degrees C, and pH 8.0. Under these conditions, the T(1/2) of PgHsp70 increased from 10 to 15 h in the presence of glycerol. The PgHsp70 exhibited a higher chaperone activity towards glutamate dehydrogenase than alcohol dehydrogenase. The expression of recombinant carbonic anhydrase (CA) in E. coli in a catalytically active soluble form rather than in inclusion bodies was made feasible by co-expression of PgHsp70. Circular dichroism (CD) studies of the recombinant PgHsp70 did not reveal any discernible changes in the alpha-helix content, with increase in temperature from 35 to 85 degrees C, thus suggesting a critical role of alpha-helix content in maintaining the chaperone activity.

Abstract
Most proteins in chloroplasts are encoded by the nuclear genome and synthesized as precursors with N-terminal targeting signals called transit peptides. Novel machinery has evolved to specifically import these proteins from the cytosol into chloroplasts. This machinery consists of more than a dozen components located in and around the chloroplast envelope, including a pair of GTPase receptors, a beta-barrel-type channel across the outer membrane, and an AAA(+)-type motor in the stroma. How individual components assemble into functional subcomplexes and the sequential steps of the translocation process are being mapped out. An increasing number of noncanonical import pathways, including a pathway with initial transport through the endomembrane system, is being revealed. Multiple levels of control on protein transport into chloroplasts have evolved, including the development of two receptor subfamilies, one for photosynthetic proteins and one for housekeeping proteins. The functions or expression levels of some translocon components are further adjusted according to plastid type, developmental stage, and metabolic conditions.

Abstract
In this study, a full-length cytosolic heat shock protein 70 complementary DNA (cDNA) of Laminaria japonica (designated as LJHsp70) was obtained by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) coupled with rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The full length of LJHsp70 cDNA was 2,918 bp, with a 5' untranslated region of 248 bp, a 3' untranslated region of 696 bp, and an open reading frame of 1,974 bp encoding a polypeptide of 657 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 72.03 kDa and an estimated isoelectric point of 4.97. There was highly repeated sequence of CAA in 5' untranslated region of LJHsp70. The result of phylogenetic tree of Hsp70s, the BLAST program, analysis and cytosolic Hsp70-specific motif of LJHsp70 verified that the cloned LJHsp70 belonged to cytosolic Hsp70 family. Three typical Hsp70 signature motifs were detected in LJHsp70 by InterPro analysis. Under different stress conditions, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of LJHsp70 were quantified by quantitative RT-PCR. To L. japonica sporophytes kept in different temperatures for 1 h, the expression level of LJHsp70 at 30 degrees C was highest and twofold higher than that at 10 degrees C. To L. japonica sporophytes kept at 25 degrees C for different times, the mRNA expression level of LJHsp70 reached a maximum level after 7 h and then dropped progressively. The expression level of LJHsp70 at 0 or 5 per thousand salt concentration for 2 h was twofold higher than that at 30 per thousand salt concentration for 2 h. The results showed that LJHsp70 may be a kind of potential biomarker used to monitor environment conditions.

Abstract
Hsp70s have been shown to play important roles in helping cells to cope with adverse environments, especially in response to temperature. In this study a novel ethephon-induced Hsp gene, designated as HbHsp70, was isolated from Hevea brasiliensis. The HbHsp70 cDNA contained a 1965 bp open reading frame encoding 655 amino acids. The deduced HbHsp70 protein showed high identities to Hsp70s from other plants. Expression studies revealed more significant accumulation of HbHsp70 transcripts in leaves and stems than in roots, barks and latex. The transcription of HbHsp70 was induced by ethephon, heat treatment and low temperature stress, whereas jasmonic acid had little effects. Recombinant HbHsp70 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Measuring the light scattering of luciferase (Luc) revealed that HbHsp70 prevents the aggregation of luc during high-temperature stress. In vitro experiments showed that HbHsp70 had protective functions not only against heat stress but also against chilling stress. All these data suggest that HbHsp70 may play roles in responses to heat shock and low temperature in H. brasiliensis.

Abstract
Members of the 70 kD heat-shock gene family are highly conserved across a wide range of organisms. In an effort to learn more about the evolution and possible functions of extreme environment plant Saussurea medusa Maxim hsp70, we isolated a cDNA clone encoding a putative cytosolic member (Smhsp70) of this family of proteins from a cDNA library of S. medusa cell cultures. The cDNA clone was 2224 bp in length and contained a 1941 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 647 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 70,794 Da. The predicted protein was found to contain a C-terminal amino acid motif of "PKIEEVD" indicating that Smhsp70 was related to cytosolic members of the hsp70 family in higher plant. The secondary and three-dimensional structures of Smhsp70 were analyzed by molecular modeling. The genomic structure of Smhsp70 included one intron of 1134 bp in length. The deduced Smhsp70 protein has 93.7 and 93.2% similarity with the hsp70 of tobacco and tomato, 73.2% with the hsp70 of human, and 43.7% with DnaK of Escherichia. coli, respectively. Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses indicated that the cytosolic Smhsp70 protein was constitutively expressed and markedly increased after relatively short periods of heat shock (37 degrees C) as well as by low temperature (4 degree C) treatments.
