  • Title: Induction of heat-shock proteins and accumulation of trehalose by TPN in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
    Author: Fujita K, Iwahashi H, Kodama O, Komatsu Y.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1995 Nov 22; 216(3):1041-7. PubMed ID: 7488177.
    Abstract:
    TPN [Tetrachloroisophthalonitrile], a kind of disinfectant, affected growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Exposed to TPN under no lethal conditions, 70-, 90-kDa protein and hsp104 were induced. Each of them was not uniformly induced; namely, the 70-kDa protein was more sensitive to TPN among other proteins. Trehalose was also accumulated depending on the concentration. The degree of thermotolerance in yeast cells pretreated with 1.0 mg/l TPN was about 100-fold greater than in the control. Under this condition, TPN-inducible proteins were synthesized but trehalose was not accumulated. Although TPN-inducible proteins and trehalose were definitely synthesized with 10.0 or 100.0mg/l TPN treatment, thermotolerance was not acquired.
