Heat shock response, an induced transcription of a set of genes in response to high temperature, occurs in all organisms. In neurons, the catalytic subunit of acetylcholinesterase (AChE(T)) interacts with proline-rich membrane anchor (PRiMA) to form a globular tetrameric form (G(4) form). In this study, we examined the effects of heat shock on the transcription and protein assembly of AChE(T) in cultured NG108-15 cells. The transcription of AChE(T) was rapidly induced by heat shock at 40 degrees C, reaching a 15-fold increase in 3h and decreasing thereafter. On the other hand, the level of PRiMA mRNA was not affected after the heat shock. In parallel with AChE(T) mRNA, the enzymatic activity of cellular AChE, in terms of G(1) and G(2) forms, was increased after heat shock; however, the PRiMA-linked G(4) remained unchanged. These results suggest that heat shock can induce the expression level of AChE(T) by the regulation of AChE(T) transcripts in NG108-15 cells.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
