“…Prior heat stress studies in other cnidarians, such as Hydra (Bosch, Krylow, Bode, & Steele, 1988), Anemonia viridis (Miller, Brown, Sharp, & Nganro, 1992), and the jellyfish Aurelia aurita (Black & Bloom, 1984), showed the presence and the increased abundance of HSPs in thermal stress response. Additional studies on other coral and anemone species extended the repertoire of HSP homologues, establishing them as viable biomarker candidates (Black, Voellmy, & Szmant, 1995;Branton, MacRae, Lipschultz, & Wells, 1999;Wiens et al, 2000). Additional studies on other coral and anemone species extended the repertoire of HSP homologues, establishing them as viable biomarker candidates (Black, Voellmy, & Szmant, 1995;Branton, MacRae, Lipschultz, & Wells, 1999;Wiens et al, 2000).…”

The global loss and degradation of coral reefs, as a result of intensified frequency and severity of bleaching events, is a major concern. Evidence of heat stress affecting corals through loss of symbionts and consequent coral bleaching was first reported in the 1930s. However, it was not until the 1998 major global bleaching event that the urgency for heat stress studies became internationally recognized. Current efforts focus not only on examining the consequences of heat stress on corals but also on finding strategies to potentially improve thermal tolerance and aid coral reefs survival in future climate scenarios. Although initial studies were limited in comparison with modern technological tools, they provided the foundation for many of today's research methods and hypotheses. Technological advancements are providing new research prospects at a rapid pace. Understanding how coral heat stress studies have evolved is important for the critical assessment of their progress. This review summarizes the development of the field to date and assesses avenues for future research.

Expression of heat shock and cold shock proteins in the gorgonian Leptogorgia virgulata

et al. 2003

In this study, we analyzed the response of the temperate, shallow-water gorgonian, Leptogorgia virgulata, to temperature stress. Proteins were pulse labeled with (35)S-methionine/cysteine for 1 h to 2 h at 22 degrees C (control), or 38 degrees C, or for 4 h at 12.5 degrees C. Heat shock induced synthesis of unique proteins of 112, 89, and 74 kDa, with 102, 98 and 56 kDa proteins present in the control as well. Cold shock from 22 degrees C-12.5 degrees C induced the synthesis of a 25 kDa protein, with a 44 kDa protein present in the control as well. Control samples expressed unique proteins of 38, and 33 kDa. Non-radioactive proteins expressed under the same conditions as above, as well as natural field conditions, were tested for reactivity with antibodies to heat shock proteins (HSPs). HSP60 was the major protein found in L. virgulata. Although HSP47, HSP60, and HSP104 were present in all samples, the expression of HSP60 was enhanced in heat stressed colonies, while HSP47 and HSP104 expression were greatest in cold shocked samples. Inducible HSP70 was expressed in cold-shocked, heat-shocked, and field samples. Constitutively expressed HSP70 was absent from all samples. The expression of HSP90 was limited to heat shocked colonies. The expression of both HSP70 and HSP104 suggests that the organism may also develop a stress tolerance response.
