COMPARISON OF STRESS PROTEINS PARTICIPATION IN ADAPTATION MECHANISMS OF BAIKALIAN AND PALEARCTIC AMPHIPOD (AMPHIPODA; CRUSTACEA) SPECIES
Journal Title: Журнал ÑтреÑÑ-физиологии и биохимии - Year 2006, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of the present study was a study of the influence different stressful factor on syntheses and activity of the stress proteins (HSP70, sHSP and peroxidase) of freshwater organism. Six freshwater amphipod species were investigated: Eulimnogammarus cyaneus (Dyb.), E verrucosus (Gerstf.), E vittatus (Dyb.) - endemic species from Lake Baikal which were compared with Palearctic species - Gammarus lacustris Sars., G tigrinus (Sexton), Chaetogammarus ischnus (Stebbins). It was shown expression of sHSP by heat and toxic stresses for all amphipods species. Oxidative stress induced HSP70 for Palearctic species G tigrinus and C ischnus but not for baikalian species. Heat stress did not caused the increase of HSP70 level for Baikalian species of amphipods. The activity of the peroxidase was decrease by heat and toxic stresses. Oxidative stress caused the increase of peroxidase activity for Palearctic species, and the decrease for Baikalian once.
