Changes in protein turnover after heat shock are related to accumulation of abnormal proteins in aging Drosophila melanogaster

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development
A Niedzwiecki, J E Fleming

Abstract

Adult Drosophila melanogaster kept at 24 degrees C show a progressive decline in the synthesis and degradation of proteins with age. After exposure of young, 7-10 days old flies to 20 min of heat shock at 37 degrees C, the incorporation of [35S]-methionine into trichloroacetic acid precipitable proteins decreases to more than 60% of that observed in non-stressed flies. This decrease is also accompanied by a lower protein degradation rate. In contrast, the same stress in old, 49 days old insects results in a 3-fold increase in protein synthesis as compared to either non-heat shocked senescent flies or to young heat-shocked flies. The older flies also have faster protein turnover than unshocked controls. An effect similar to that observed in senescent Drosophila also occurs in young flies that have been fed canavanine, an arginine analogue, before and during heat shock. These results suggest that an age dependent accumulation of abnormal proteins may be responsible for the changes in protein turnover observed in the heat-shocked old flies.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
