Abstract

In Chap. 4 we described characteristic differences in the thermoresistance and Hsp synthesis patterns in various organisms including vertebrates, insects, Crustacea etc. Striking differences observed in Hsp synthesis in response to HS in close and phylogenetically distant forms could be due to different molecular mechanisms. It is possible to suggest that thermoresistant species may contain higher copy numbers of Hsp70 genes as compared to related species from cold and temperate climates. However, this is an exception rather than a general rule. Thus, Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA has shown that lizard species sharply different in the constitutive level and kinetics of Hsp70 synthesis in response to temperature elevation (i.e. L. vivipara and P. interscapularis) not only preserved the same number of Hsp70 genes but also retained their practically identical structure and arrangement in the genome. It is noteworthy, that the species compared belong to different subfamilies that diverged millions years ago. On the other hand, the comparison of hsf1 genes in these two lizard species demonstrated striking differences in their structure (Zatsepina et al. 2000). These data suggest high conservatism for Hsp70 genes in the investigated lizard species. Therefore, it is plausible to conclude that the observed differences in the HSR resulted not from different copy number but may be due to peculiarities of the regulatory machinery of heat shock genes in various organisms.
