Abstract

SCK tumor cells were exposed to heat shock or several sulihydryl-reacting agents such as iodoacetamide(IAA), zinc chloride(Zn), and 2-mercaptoethanol(ME). Stress proteins induced by these agents were examined and the relationship between the induction of stress proteins and the production of abnormal proteins was discussed. Based on the present experiments, two classes of intracellular pathways for the induction of stress proteins were defined; one dependent on and the other independent of protein synthesis. The presence of cycloheximide during the induction period blocked the formation of stress proteins in the cells exposed to Zn or ME, but not in those exposed to heat shock or IAA.Therefore, stress protein seems to be induced either by denaturation of pre-existing mature proteins (e.g., heat shock or IAA) or by newly synthesized abnormal proteins(e.g., Zn or ME). In conclusion, it is ilkely that the production of abnormal proteins by stresses triggers stress protein induction. In addition, it was found that the cells exposed to IISP and GRP inducers simultaneously responded to more strong stress among several stresses encountered.
