We have investigated whether HspBP1, a Hsp70 binding protein, could have effect on the assembly of the bovine progesterone receptor (bPR) with a chaperone complex consisting of bovine Hsp90 (bHsp90), bovine Hsp70 (bHsp70), Hop, Ydj-1, and p23. The bPR, isolated in its native conformation, loses its function to interact with progesterone hormone in the absence of this protein complex. However, in the presence of bHsp90, bHsp70, Hop, p23 and Ydj-1, its function could be restored in vitro. Our findings here indicate that the inclusion of HspBP1 to five-protein system prevented the proper assembly of progesterone receptor-chaperone complex and induce the loss of bPR ability to interact with hormone. Immunoprecipitation assays of bPR with HspBP1 show that the presence of HspBP1 did not have any effect on the assembly of Ydj-1 and bHsp70 with the progesterone receptor. However, further assembly of Hsp90, Hop and p23 was completely prevented and the function of the bPR was lost. In vitro competition and protein folding assays indicated that the binding of HspBP1 to bHsp70 prevented the ternary complex formation of bHsp70, bHsp90, and Hop. These results indicate that HspBP1 is a negative regulator of the assembly of Hsp90, Hop and Hsp70, and thus, prevent the proper maturation of unliganded bPR with chaperones assembly system.

목 적 : IL-1ra는 항염증반응을 가지고 있는 인자로서 IL-1 수용체와 결합하여, IL-l$\alpha$와 IL-1$\beta$의 결합을 경쟁적으로 억제시킴으로써, IL-1에 의해 매개되는 다양한 질환에서 중요한 내인성 조절인자로 작용한다. 이 유전자의 intron 2 부위에 86 bp 크기를 가지는 tandem repeat 에 의한 유전자 다형성이 존재하는데, 다양한 자가면역질환에서는 allele 2형의 빈도가 정상 인구군에 비해 유의하게 높다는 사실이 밝혀져 있다. 이에 저자들은 Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ Purpura 환자들을 대상으로 IL-1ra 유전자의 variable number tandem repeats(VNTR) 다형성을 검사하여 정상 대조군과 비교하였으며, 신장 침범 여부 및 중증의 경과에 $IL1RN^{*}2$가 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 조사하였다. 방 법.: 1998년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 부산 백병원 .소아과를 방문하여 Henoch-$IL1RN^{*}2$ purpura로 진단된 74명의 환자와 정상 대조군 43명을 대상으로 하였다. EDTA 처리된 전혈에서 상품화된 DNA 추출키트($QIAamp^{\circledR}$ DNA Blood Mini kit, Quiagen, USA)를 사용하여 DNA를 추출하였다. IL-1ra 유전자 다형성(polymorphysm)은 86 bp의 2, 3, 4, 5번의 반복횟수에 따라 각각 240 bp, 325 bp, 410 bp 또는 500 bp 크기의 밴드를 확인하여 결정하였다. 결 과 : HSP 환자군과 정상 대조군 모두에서 $IL1RN^{*}1$의 allele 빈도가 각각 $93.9\%,\;93.2\%$로 가장 높았으며, carriage rate도 각각 $98.6\%,\;97.9\%$로 가장 높았다. $IL1RN^{*}2$의 allele 빈도는 HSP 군에서 4.7$\%$로 대조군의 2.5$\%$에 비해 높았으나, 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(P=0.794). Carriage rate도 HSP군에서 8.1$\%$로 대조군의 6.8$\%$에 비해 높았으나, 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(P=0.915). $IL1RN^{*}2$의 allele 빈도는 신장 침범군에서 6.3$\%$로 비침범군의 2.9$\%$에 비해 높게 나타났으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(P=0.356). Carriage rate는 신장 침범군에서 10.0$\%$, 비침범군에서 5.9$\%$였으며, 양군 사이에는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다(P=0.523). 24시간 채집뇨에서 측정한 총단백량이 1,000 mg 이상이었던 경우가 13명이었는데, 이들의 allele형은 $IL1RN^{*}1$이 11명이었으며, $IL1RN^{*}2와\;IL1RN^{*}4$형이 각각 1명씩 있었다. 마지막 추적관찰 시점까지 단백뇨가 지속되었던 환자는 4명이었으며 이들은 모두 $IL1RN^{*}1$형 이었다. 결 론 : HSP 환자군과 정상 대조군 모두에서 $IL1RN^{*}1$의 allele 빈도와 carriage rate가 가장 높았다. $IL1RN^{*}2$ allele 빈도와 carriage rate는 HSP 환자군에서 대조군과 비교하여 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 HSP 환자군에서도 $IL1RN^{*}2$ allele 빈도와 carriage rate는 신장 침범의 정도와도 유의한 관련성이 발견되지 않았다.

This study examined the expression of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) in red seabream Pagrus major infected by the, acanthocephalan parasites Longicollum pagrosomi. We cloned the full-length Hsp70 cDNA from the liver of the red seabream. The full-length cDNA had a 1,950 bp open reading frame (ORF) that encoded a protein of 650 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of Hsp70 contained all of the conserved Hsp70 family signature sequences and an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)/guanosine triphosphate (GTP) binding motif, including the EEVD (consensus sequence that terminates in Hsp70 family) consensus sequence. The expression of Hsp70 mRNA was upregulated int the fish head-kidney and liver, as determined by quantitative real-time PCR. We quantified the Hsp70 mRNA expression in normal red seabream and fish infected fish by L. pagrosomi. The expression of Hsp70 mRNA was significantly higher in the infected red seabream. These results suggest that Hsp70 play a role of protection against stress and inflammation caused by the parasite and may help maintain homeostasis.

For the quantitative analysis of genetically modified (GM) maize in processed foods, primer sets and probes based on the 35S promoter (p35S), nopaline synthase terminator (tNOS), p35S-hsp70 intron, and zSSIIb gene encoding starch synthase II for intrinsic control were designed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products (80~101 bp) were specifically amplified and the primer sets targeting the smaller regions (80 or 81 bp) were more sensitive than those targeting the larger regions (94 or 101 bp). Particularly, the primer set 35F1-R1 for p35S targeting 81 bp of sequence was even more sensitive than that targeting 101 bp of sequence by a 3-log scale. The target DNA fragments were also specifically amplified from all GM labeled food samples except for one item we tested when 35F1-R1 primer set was applied. A reference plasmid pGMmaize (3 kb) including the smaller PCR products for p35S, tNOS, p35S-hsp70 intron, and the zSSIIb gene was constructed for real-time PCR (RT-PCR). The linearity of standard curves was confirmed by using diluents ranging from $2{\times}10^1{\sim}10^5$ copies of pGMmaize and the $R^2$ values ranged from 0.999~1.000. In the RT-PCR, the detection limit using the novel primer/probe sets was 5 pg of genomic DNA from MON810 line indicating that the primer sets targeting the smaller regions (80 or 81 bp) could be used for highly sensitive detection of foreign DNA fragments from GM maize in processed foods.

To gain an insight into the function of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in insects during thermal stress, three HSP cDNAs were identified in the transcriptome of adult Heortia vitessoides, one of the most destructive defoliating pests in Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprenger forests. The open reading frames of HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 were 1,719, 2,070, and 2,151 bp in length, respectively, and encoded proteins with molecular weights of 61.05, 75.02, and 82.23 kDa, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed that all three HSPs were highly conserved in structure. Regarding the stage-specific expression profiles, HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 mRNAs were detected in all developmental stages. Regarding the tissue-specific expression profiles, the expression levels of the three HSP genes were different in various larval and adult tissues. Moreover, the expression patterns of heat-stressed larvae, pupae, and adults indicated that HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 were heat-inducible. In particular, HvHsp60 transcripts increased dramatically in larvae and pupae that were heat-stressed at $40^{\circ}C$ and were upregulated in adults that were heat-stressed at $35^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The expression of HvHsp70 significantly increased in all of the three different developmental stages at $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$. The expression of HvHsp90 obviously increased at $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, and $40^{\circ}C$ in larvae and could be induced at $35^{\circ}C$ in pupae and adults. The results suggest that HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 play a major role in protecting H. vitessoides against high-temperature stress.

The blood samples were collected from dairy cows at the same milking stage. The single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method was used to analyze for polymorphism at the 5'flanking region of the hsp70 gene. The mRNA expression levels of HSP70, HSF1, Bcl-2 and Bax-$\alpha$ at different daily-mean-temperature were analyzed by relative quantitative RTPCR. The DNA content, cell phase and the ratio of apoptosis of lymphocytes in peripheral blood of dairy cattle at different daily-meantemperature were determined by FCM. The PCR-SSCP products of primer pair 1 showed polymorphisms and could be divided into four genotypes: aa, ab, ac, cc, with the cis-acting element (CCAAT box) included. Mutations in the hsp70 5'flanking region (468-752 bp) had different effects on mRNA expression of HSP70, HSF1, Bcl-2 and Bax-$\alpha$. The ac genotypic cows showed higher expressions of HSP70mRNA, HSF1mRNA and Bcl-2mRNA/Bax-$\alpha$mRNA and lower ratio of apoptosis. These mutation sites can be used as molecular genetic markers to assist selection for anti-heat stress cows.

The expression of BCL-2 interacting cell death suppressor (BIS), an anti-stress or anti-apoptotic protein, has been shown to be regulated at the transcriptional level by heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) upon various stresses. Recently, HSF1 was also shown to bind to BIS, but the significance of these protein-protein interactions on HSF1 activity has not been fully defined. In the present study, we observed that complete depletion of BIS using a CRISPR/Cas9 system in A549 non-small cell lung cancer did not affect the induction of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and HSP27 mRNAs under various stress conditions such as heat shock, proteotoxic stress, and oxidative stress. The lack of a functional association of BIS with HSF1 activity was also demonstrated by transient downregulation of BIS by siRNA in A549 and U87 glioblastoma cells. Endogenous BIS mRNA levels were significantly suppressed in BIS knockout (KO) A549 cells compared to BIS wild type (WT) A549 cells at the constitutive and inducible levels. The promoter activities of BIS and HSP70 as well as the degradation rate of BIS mRNA were not influenced by depletion of BIS. In addition, the expression levels of the mutant BIS construct, in which 14 bp were deleted as in BIS-KO A549 cells, were not different from those of the WT BIS construct, indicating that mRNA stability was not the mechanism for autoregulation of BIS. Our results suggested that BIS was not required for HSF1 activity, but was required for its own expression, which involved an HSF1-independent pathway.
