ABSTRACT
The level of HSP 70 mRNA is altered in Trypanosoma cruzi cells incubated at supra-optimal temperatures the total amount of this RNA per cell is increased at 37 degrees C, and slightly decreased at 40 degrees C relative to its level at 29 degrees C. However, its amount is greater in the polysomes at either temperature. The relative increase of this RNA is larger in the polysomes fraction than it is in the total RNA. In addition the level of HSP 70 protein in heat-shocked cells is greater than would be expected from the recruitment of HSP 70 mRNA in the polysomal fraction. Taken together the data are interpreted as indicating that at 37 degrees C and 40 degrees C the HSP 70 gene regulation in T. cruzi involves both the selective accumulation of the HSP 70 mRNA in the polysomes and its preferential translation. At 37 degrees C, in addition, an increase in the total amount of this template is observed in the cells.
