Heat shock induces 31 proteins in thymic lymphocytes in 1 h, 11 of which are not blocked by cordycepin, suggesting that their induction may be regulated at the level of translation (Maytin, E.V., Colbert, R.A., and Young, D.A. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 2384-2392). The possibility that mRNAs coding for these 11 cordycepin-insensitive heat-shock proteins would be found in non-heat-shocked thymus cells was investigated. Analysis of 1500 in vitro translation products separated by giant two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that poly(A)+ RNA isolated from non-heat-shocked thymus cells coded for proteins corresponding to 10 of the 11 non-cordycepin-inhibitable heat-shock proteins. Comparison of the relative rates of synthesis of these 10 proteins in whole cells incubated at 37 and 42 degrees C, with their synthesis in vitro directed by poly(A)+ RNA isolated from cells incubated at 37 degrees C, suggests that mRNAs for 7 of them are present in sufficient amounts in non-heat-shocked cells to account for their increased synthesis during heat shock. These results indicate that part of the response of thymic lymphocytes to heat shock involves a rapid increase in the translation of a group of pre-existing mRNAs that are normally translated at very low rates or not at all.
