## Abstract Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and soybean (Glycine max) tissue culture cells were exposed to a heat shock and protein synthesis studied by SDSโpolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after labeling with radioactive amino acids. A new pattern of protein synthesis is observed in heatโshocked cel

โฆ Synopsis
An increase was observed in the total protein mass of nuclei isolated from Chinese hamster ovary cells heated at 45ยฐC or 45.5"C. An increase in the fractional recovery of DNA polymerase a and p, and of DNA topoisomerase activity coincided with this increase in the protein mass of nuclei from heated cells. Nuclear protein mass which was soluble in 2.0 M NaCl decreased 0.5 fold, while DNAassociated and nuclear matrix-associated protein mass increased 2.2 and 3.4 fold, respectively. The results indicate that the increase in nuclear protein mass observed in nuclei from heated cells is due in part to an increased binding, or precipitation, of nuclear proteins onto the cell's DNA and nuclear matrix.

## Abstract Nuclear matrix, a key structure in the nuclear framework, appears to be a particularly responsive target during heat shock treatment of cells. We have previously shown that nuclear matrix is a preferential target for protein kinase CK2 signaling in the nucleus. The levels of CK2 in the
C2PA is a protein of unknown function that is expressed in spermatocytes. PDZ-RGS3 is a signaling molecule whose PDZ domain binds Ephrin-B2 and mediates reverse signaling of this protein. C2PA and PDZ-RGS3 have identical PDZ domains. To explore the function of C2PA, we compared it with PDZ-RGS3 with
