The major heat-shock protein, hsp70, is synthesized by cells of many organisms in response to stress. Drosophila hsp70 was expressed from cloned genes in mouse L cells and monkey COS cells and detected by immunofluorescence using monoclonal antibodies. Hsp70 is found mostly but not exclusively in the nucleus of unstressed cells. For several hours after a short heat shock it is strongly concentrated in nucleoli. Nucleoli are transiently damaged by such a heat shock: their morphology changes and assembly and export of ribosomes is blocked for several hours. This block can be visualized by addition of actinomycin D: under normal conditions pre-ribosomes are chased out of nucleoli, and the latter shrink dramatically, but no such shrinking is seen in heat-shocked cells. High levels of hsp-70 can be produced in unstressed COS cells by transfecting them with an appropriate expression plasmid. Such cells show a more rapid recovery of nucleolar morphology following a heat shock than do untransfected cells. Heat shock does not prevent shrinkage of their nucleoli in the presence of actinomycin, which indicates that ribosome export also recovers rapidly when pre-synthesized hsp-70 is present. An important function of hsp-70 may be to catalyze reassembly of damaged pre-ribosomes and other RNP [ribonucleoprotein] after heat shock.
