Abstract

The role of c‐Jun NH~2~‐terminal kinase (JNK) signaling cascade in the stress‐inducible phosphorylation of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) was investigated using known agonists and antagonists of JNK. We showed that treatment of HeLa cells with MG132, a proteasome inhibitor and known JNK activator, caused the transcriptional activation domain of HSF1 to be targeted and phosphorylated by JNK2 in vivo. Dose‐response and time course studies of the effects of heat shock and anisomycin treatment showed a close correlation of the activation of JNK and hyperphosphorylation of HSF1. SB203580 inhibited JNK at the 100 μM concentration and significantly reduced the amount of hyperphosphorylated HSF1 upon heat shock or anisomycin treatment. SB203580 and dominant‐negative JNK suppress hsp70 promoter‐driven reporter gene expression selectively at 45°C but not at 42°C heat stress, suggesting that JNK would be preferentially associated with the protective heat shock response against severe heat stress. The possibility that JNK‐mediated phosphorylation of HSF1 may selectively stabilize the HSF1 protein and confers protection to cells under conditions of severe stress is discussed. J. Cell.

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are regulated by MAPK kinases (MKKs), which are in turn regulated by MKK kinases (MKKKs). While a single MKKK can regulate several different MAPK family members, and several MKKKs can often activate the same MAPK, emerging evidence indicates a unique role fo

The influence of cell hydration and taurine on the heat shock response was studied in primary rat hepatocytes. Heat-induced accumulation of inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) mRNA and protein was increased under hypoosmotic conditions. In contrast, hyper-osmotic exposure blocked the HSP70 respo

Interferon (IFN) is not able to induce heat-shock protein (HSP) synthesis. However IFN pretreatment of mouse L cells has been shown to enhance the decrease of overall protein synthesis which follows a heat shock, and to stimulate the accumulation of HSPs. We show here that the synthesis of a protein
