Ubiquitin is a heat shock protein in chicken embryo fibroblasts

Clones containing heat-inducible mRNA sequences were selected from a cDNA library prepared from polyadenylated RNA isolated from heat-shocked chicken embryo fibroblasts. One recombinant DNA clone, designated clone 7, hybridized to a 1.2-kilobase RNA that was present in normal cells and increased fivefold during heat shock. Clone 7 also hybridized to an RNA species of 1.7 kilobases that was present exclusively in heat-shocked cells. In vitro translation of mRNA hybrid selected from clone 7 produced a protein product with a molecular weight of approximately 8,000. Increased synthesis of a protein of similar size was detected in chicken embryo fibroblasts after heat shock. DNA sequence analysis of clone 7 indicated its protein product has amino acid sequences identical to bovine ubiquitin. In addition, clone 7 contains tandem copies of the ubiquitin sequences contiguous to each other with no untranslated sequences between them. We discuss some possible roles for ubiquitin in the heat shock response.
