title: Translocation of heat shock proteins into isolated nuclei of Aedes albopictus cells.
abstract: 1. Labelled heat shock proteins of 82 kDa, 70 kDa and a group of low molecular weight are present in the post-mitochondrial supernatant obtained from Aedes albopictus cells. 2. These proteins in the post-mitochondrial extract are transported specifically to the nuclear compartment when incubated with isolated unlabelled nuclei. The relative amounts of each protein transported were 4.7, 24.1 and 3.1% for the 82-kDa and 70-kDa and for the low molecular weight proteins, respectively. 3. Incubation of radiolabelled post-mitochondrial extract with unlabelled nuclei at 30 degrees C or 37 degrees C did not modify the percentage of proteins translocated.
