Heat shock protein genes and their functional significance in fish

Expression analysis of heat shock protein genes during Aeromonas hydrophila infection in rohu, Labeo rohita, with special reference to molecular characterization of Grp78

“…Moreover, increased expression of Grp78 gene after fertilization also indicated its major role as a molecular chaperone during developmental days in fish. Developmental regulation of many Hsps genes such as Hsp90α, Hsp90β, and Hsp47 was observed in zebrafish previously (Basu et al 2002). Constitutive expression of Grp78 gene in several important tissues emphasized its importance in regulating ER Fig.…”

Effects of repeated handling and air exposure on the immune response and the disease resistance of gibel carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) over winter

“…Heat-shock proteins are well known to protect organisms from the detrimental effects by stressors [27,28]. However, synthesis of heat shock proteins is energy demanding [29], and the synthetic substrate is at the expense of other cellular proteins [30].…”

Repeated handling compromises the immune suppression and improves the disease resistance in overwintering channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

“…It is well known that the releasing of heat-shock proteins is to protect organisms from the detrimental effects by stressors [34,35]. However, synthesis of heat shock proteins is energy demanding [36], and the synthetic substrate is at the expense of other cellular proteins [37].…”
