Resource summary
Mechanisms of Thermal Tolerance
Avoiding Protein denaturation at high temperatures
the Heat Shock Response
Through heat shock proteins
either constitutive or inducible
Work normally folding proteins
when heat shock occurs HSPs act to refold damaged proteins (ATP dependent)
Dutton and Hoffman (2009) HsPs in field collected Mytilus galloprovincialis
Found a greater response in different populations
southern population were used to higher temps so difdnt suffer as much damage
Lower HSP expression
Avoiding Blood Freezing at low temperatures
Freeze avoidance
Using Antifreeze proteins
Proteins bind to ice surface preventing more water molecules joining
proteins then melt the ice
Notothenoid fish
Cold Tolerance
Ice Nucleating Proteins (INPs)
Murphy (1977) looked at blood Ca level and freezing in Ribbed Mussel
Found that Ca binds to membrane reducing cell damage during freezing
Calcium stabilizes the membrane, preventing denaturation
Maintaining reactions over a range of temperatures
Short Term
Alterations of enzyme effective concentration
Alterations to concentration on the subtrate
Increased energy supply for enzyme being catalysed
Alterations to intracellular environment
Mid Term
Alterations to isoform
e.g. myosin in slow muscle fibres of Common Carp
Evolutionary enzyme adaptions
Somero (2010) Looked at Enzyme bindng to NADH in limet
Found enzyme activity stopped at 42 Degrees
Each form could tolerate a different temp
Only differed in one amino acid
Maintaining membrane stability over a range of temperatures
Short Term
have to maintain cell structure in order to maintain Membrane structure
Done through variation of lipid structure
using short, unsaturated fatty acids (more fluid)
