Heat shock causes diverse changes in the phosphorylation of the ribosomal proteins of mammalian cells. 1984

I M Kennedy, and R H Burdon, and D P Leader

When HeLa cells or BHK cells were subjected to heat shock at 42 degrees C (for 2 h) or 45 degrees C (for 10 min) there was extensive dephosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6. Concomitantly ribosomal protein L14, which is not significantly phosphorylated in normal cells, became phosphorylated, as did a non-structural protein of Mr = 27000, associated with the ribosomes. The latter effects were not prevented by cycloheximide or actinomycin D. When cells shocked at 45 degrees C for 10 min were returned to 37 degrees C for 2 h there was rephosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 and dephosphorylation of the 27 kDa protein, but not of ribosomal protein L14.

D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D008970	Molecular Weight	The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule.	Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010766	Phosphorylation	The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.	Phosphorylations
D003513	Cycloheximide	Antibiotic substance isolated from streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces griseus. It acts by inhibiting elongation during protein synthesis.	Actidione,Cicloheximide
D003609	Dactinomycin	A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
