Small heat shock proteins (sHsps), present from prokaryotes to eukaryotes, are a highly conserved molecular chaperone family. They play a crucial role in protecting organisms against cellular insults from single or multiple environmental stressors including heavy metal exposure, heat or cold shock, oxidative stress, desiccation, etc. Here, the toxicity of cadmium and copper, and their ability to modify the cellular growth rate at different temperatures in Escherichia coli cells were tested. Also, the response mechanism of the sHSP aggregation‐suppressing protein (AgsA) in such multiple stress conditions was investigated. The results showed that the half effect concentration (EC50) of cadmium in AgsA‐transformed E. coli cells at 37°C, 42°C, and 50°C were 11.106, 29.50, and 4.35 mg/L, respectively, and that of the control cells lacking AgsA were 5.05, 0.93, and 0.18 mg/L, respectively, while the half effect concentration (EC50) of copper in AgsA‐transformed E. coli cells at 37°C, 42°C, and 50°C were 27.3, 3.40, and 1.28 mg/L, respectively, and that of the control cells lacking AgsA were 27.7, 5.93, and 0.134 mg/L, respectively. The toxicities of cadmium and copper at different temperatures as observed by their modification of the cellular growth rate and inhibitory effects were in a dose‐dependent manner. Additionally, biochemical characterization of AgsA protein in cells subjected to cadmium and copper stresses at different temperatures implicated suppressed aggregation of cellular proteins in AgsA‐transformed E. coli cells. Altogether, our data implicate the AgsA protein as a sensitive protein‐based biomarker for metal‐induced toxicity monitoring.

“…Heat shock proteins are stress-responsive proteins and play an important role in protecting cells from elevated environments. CeHSP17 was significantly up-regulated by cadmium and zinc in wild-type C. elegans [36]. In transgenic Arabidopsis, PfHSP17.2 showed a higher resistant ability under heat, cold and salt stresses [37].…”

Phytoremediation soil polluted by cadmium has drawn worldwide attention. However, how to improve the efficiency of plant remediation of cadmium contaminated soil remains unknown. Previous studies showed that nitrogen (N) significantly enhances cadmium uptake and accumulation in poplar plants. In order to explore the important role of nitrogen in plants’ responses to cadmium stress, this study investigates the poplar proteome and phosphoproteome difference between Cd stress and Cd + N treatment. In total, 6573 proteins were identified, and 5838 of them were quantified. With a fold-change threshold of > 1.3, and a p-value < 0.05, 375 and 108 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd stress when compared to the control, respectively. Compared to the Cd stress group, 42 and 89 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd + N treatment, respectively. Moreover, 522 and 127 proteins were up- and down-regulated by Cd + N treatment compared to the CK group. In addition, 1471 phosphosites in 721 proteins were identified. Based on a fold-change threshold of > 1.2, and a p-value < 0.05, the Cd stress up-regulated eight proteins containing eight phosphosites, and down-regulated 58 proteins containing 69 phosphosites, whereas N + Cd treatment up-regulated 86 proteins containing 95 phosphosites, and down-regulated 17 proteins containing 17 phosphosites, when compared to Cd stress alone. N + Cd treatment up-regulated 60 proteins containing 74 phosphosites and down-regulated 37 proteins containing 42 phosphosites, when compared to the control. Several putative responses to stress proteins, as well as transcriptional and translational regulation factors, were up-regulated by the addition of exogenous nitrogen following Cd stress. Especially, heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), 14-3-3 protein, peroxidase (POD), zinc finger protein (ZFP), ABC transporter protein, eukaryotic translation initiation factor (elF) and splicing factor 3 B subunit 1-like (SF3BI) were up-regulated by Cd + N treatment at both the proteome and the phosphoproteome levels. Combing the proteomic data and phosphoproteomics data, the mechanism by which exogenous nitrogen can alleviate cadmium toxicity in poplar plants was explained at the molecular level. The results of this study will establish the solid molecular foundation of the phytoremediation method to improve cadmium-contaminated soil.

“…The newly eclosed beetle should have a maturation feeding in healthy trees. The nematode then departs from the spiracles driven by CO 2 enhanced by feeding behavior and invades new healthy trees via the feeding wounds 14 , 15 , thus starting a new cycle of infection, propagation and dispersal. While the chemical signals among the symbiosis have been well characterized, the molecular mechanism of the chemical communications remains elusive.…”

The Japanese sawyer beetle, Monochamus alternatus, is not only one of the most important wood boring pest itself, but also a major vector of the invasive pinewood nematode (PWN), which is the causal agent of the devastative pine wilt disease (PWD) and threats the global pine forest. Here, we present a near-complete genome of M. alternatus at the chromosome level. The assembled genome was 792.05 Mb with contig N50 length of 55.99 Mb, which is the largest N50 size among the sequenced Coleoptera insects currently. 99.57% of sequence was anchored onto ten pseudochromosomes (one X-chromosome and nine autosomes), and the final genome harbored only 13 gaps. BUSCO evaluation revealed the presence of 99.0% of complete core genes. Thus, our genome assembly represented the highest-contiguity genome assembly as well as high completeness in insects so far. We identified 20,471 protein-coding genes, of which 20,070 (98.04%) were functionally annotated. The genome assembly of M. alternatus provides a valuable resource for exploring the evolution of the symbiosis between PWN and the vector insects.
