Protein Synthesis and Gene Expression. Development of the infection structures is accompanied by the synthesis of at least 15 differentiation-related (dr) proteins, i.e. proteins not present in the germling until differentiation is induced Fig. 4 (22. A downshift in the synthesis of some proteins also occurs during infection structure development.

The methods involved in the production of proteins in microbes are those of gene expression. Several plasmids for expression of proteins having affinity tails at the C- or N-terminus of the protein have been developed. These tails are usefiil in the isolation of recombinant proteins. Most of these vectors are commercially available along with the reagents that are necessary for protein purification. A majority of recombinant proteins that have been attempted have been produced in E. Coli (1). In most cases these recombinant proteins formed aggregates resulting in the formation of inclusion bodies. These inclusion bodies must be denatured and refolded to obtain active protein, and the affinity tails are usefiil in the purification of the protein. Some of the methods described herein involve identification of functional domains in proteins (see also Protein engineering). 

Puromycin. Puromycin (19), elaborated by S. alboniger (1—4), inhibits protein synthesis by replacing aminoacyl-tRNA at the A-site of peptidyltransferase (48,49). Photosensitive analogues of (19) have been used to label the A-site proteins of peptidyltransferase and tRNA (30). Compound (19), and its carbocycHc analogue have been used to study the accumulation of glycoprotein-derived free sialooligosaccharides, accumulation of mRNA, methylase activity, enzyme transport, rat embryo development, the acceptor site of human placental 80S ribosomes, and gene expression in mammalian cells (51—60).

One of the questions confronting investigators in the HS field is whether fever or other acute phase reactants can induce HS gene expression. In vitro studies utilize extraordinary temperatures of 42 °C and higher. Core body temperatures may approach 40 °C as a result of fever. In most in vitro systems, this temperature does not lead to the HS response. However, there are reports that fever induces the increased synthesis of hsps in peripheral blood lymphocytes (Ciavarra, 1990). This response was observed in mononuclear cells exposed to febrile temperatures and in cells isolated from a medical intern who developed fever.
