Abstract:
Heat and various inhibitory chemicals were tested in Escherichia coli for the
ability to cause accumulation of adenylylated nucleotides and to induce proteins
of the heat shock (htpR-controlled), the oxidation stress (oxyR-controlled), and
the SOS (lexA-controlled) regulons. Under the conditions used, heat and ethanol
initiated solely a heat shock response, hydrogen peroxide and
6-amino-7-chloro-5,8-dioxoquinoline (ACDQ) induced primarily an oxidation stress
response and secondarily an SOS response, nalidixic acid and puromycin induced
primarily an SOS and secondarily a heat shock response, isoleucine restriction
induced a poor heat shock response, and CdCl2 strongly induced all three stress
responses. ACDQ, CdCl2, and H2O2 each stimulated the synthesis of approximately
35 proteins by factors of 5- to 50-fold, and the heat shock, oxidation stress,
and SOS regulons constituted a minor fraction of the overall cellular response.
The pattern of accumulation of adenylylated nucleotides during these treatments
was inconsistent with a simple role for these nucleotides as alarmones sufficient
for triggering the heat shock response, but was consistent with a role in the
oxyR-mediated response.
