title: Heat shock response in Neurospora crassa: purification and some properties of HSP 80.
abstract: The heat shock response of Neurospora crassa was investigated. A 80-kilodalton heat shock protein (HSP 80) was purified to near homogeneity from heat-shocked mycelial extracts employing ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange and affinity chromatography. It was observed to migrate as a single band on one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate--polyacrylamide gels, with a molecular mass of approximately 83 kilodaltons (kDa). On two-dimensional gels it resolved into four polypeptide species with isoelectric points in the acidic range, which on staining with periodic acid--Schiff method were demonstrated to be glycosylated. In the native state, HSP 80 had a molecular size of approximately 610 kDa.
