✦ Synopsis
In Bacillus subtilis, heat shock proteins can be classified into two main groups: specific heat shock proteins (about 5) and general stress proteins (at least 14). Salt stress was very effective in the induction of general stress proteins (5 to 50-fold stimulation), but the synthesis of heat-specific stress proteins was not stimulated. Furthermore there were some proteins whose synthesis was accelerated only by salt stress.

We herein demonstrate that sodium fluoride (NaF) acts as a stress response inducer on HeLa and 9L rat brain tumor cells. NaF is only slightly cytotoxic, and inhibitory to Ser/Thr-phosphatases but not to Tyr-phosphatases in both cell lines. After treatment with 5 mM NaF for 2 h, the phosphorylation l
