Myceloid cell formation in Arthrobacter globiformis during osmotic stress
… was found to form myceloids when subjected to osmotic stress. Addition of known osmoprotective compounds did not relieve this effect. Since myceloid formation may result from altered penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), PBP profiles of stressed and unstressed A. globiformis were studied. Eight …

The osmotic stress response of ale and lager yeast
… are subject to biological, chemical and physical stress during the brewing process. Osmotic stress is evident at discreet points throughout this industrial process, yet the impact of this stress on yeast tolerance, defence and repair has not been investigated. Haploid strains of Saccharomyces …

Glucose dynamics in rat skeletal muscle : recovery from osmotic stress
… kinetics in rat skeletal muscle during iso-osmotic recovery from hyper- and hypo-osmotic stress. Rat EDL muscles were incubated for sixty minutes in either HYPO (190 mmol/kg), ISO (290 mmol/kg), or HYPER (400 mmol/kg) media (Sigma medium-199, 8 mM glucose) according to an established in …

Regulation of Protein Turnover during Hyper-osmotic Stress in Skeletal Muscle
… of this study was to examine the effect of hyper-osmotic stress on protein turnover in skeletal muscle tissue using an established in-vitro model. Rat EDL muscles were incubated in either hyper-osmotic (400 ± 10 Osm) or isoosmotic (290 ± 10 Osm) custom-modified media (Gibco). …

Responses of the false limpet, Siphonaria pectinata (Gastropoda, Pulmonata) to osmotic stress
… body fluids were measured under conditions of osmotic stress. Experiments were designed to investigate the possibility of some control mechanism being operative to explain this animalls tolerance to osmotic stress. Experimental evidenoe Is presented that fluctuations in the osmotic …

Protein Turnover in Rat Skeletal Muscle During In Vitro Hypo-Osmotic Stress
… investigation was to examine the effects of hypo-osmotic stress on protein turnover in rat skeletal muscle. We hypothesized increased protein synthesis and reduced degradation following hypo-osmotic exposure. EDL muscles (n=8/group) were incubated in iso-osmotic (290 Osm/kg) or hypo-osmotic (190 …

Intranuclear strain measured by iterative warping in cells under mechanical and osmotic stress
… and 3) force traction microscopy of cells during osmotic stress. Intranuclear strain fields provide spatial details of the nucleus that when paired with single cell biochemical assays will provide insight into how mechanical forces transferred to the nucleus influence gene expression.</p>

The Role of Polyamines in Osmotic Stress Tolerance in Gulf Killifish Fundulus Grandis
… the Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) during hypoosmotic challenge. In addition, the influence of irreversible inhibition of Odc by alpha-DL-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) was assessed in the gills. Furthermore, the transcription and enzymatic activities of Arg, Odc and Pao was assessed in other …

Molecular mechanisms of salt and osmotic stress tolerance in Frankia strains isolated from Casuarina trees
… will be salinized. The hyper-ionic and hyper-osmotic stresses associated with salt-affected soils threaten the ability of cells to maintain optimal turgor pressure and intracellular ionic concentration for growth and functioning. The nitrogen-fixing soil actinobacterium Frankia shows marked …

Influence of osmotic stress, ethanol, and a substituted pyridazinone, BAS 13-338, on the growth and lipid composition of two Chlorella species
… compared relative to their abilities to grow at osmotic potentials of -0.1, -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0 MPa, [polyethylene glycol(PEG)-induced], and for osmotically-induced changes in lipid composition. C. vulgaris growth was inhibited as osmotic potentials decreased, while C. pyrenoidosa growth was …

Maternal environment and offspring physiology : the inheritance of information across a generation
… animals where parental exposure to environmental stress modified offspring physiology. These changes in progeny physiology sometimes enhanced progeny survival in response to repeated environmental stress, suggesting that information about the environment might be passed from parent to progeny. The …

Role signální dráhy HOG MAPK při osmotickém stresu u Saccharomyces cerevisiae
THE ROLE OF HOG MAPK SIGNALING PATHWAY DURING OSMOTIC STRESS IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE Budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells utilize a conserved mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade (the high- osmolarity glycerol or HOG pathway) during conditions of increased …

Polyphosphoinositide-derived signals in the regulation of vacuole membrane fusion and fission
… changes shape in response to both hypo and hyper-osmotic stresses and so has been used to study both membrane fusion and fission. Fusion is relatively well characterised but fission is not well understood. This work focuses on the molecular events that co-ordinate vacuole fission during …

Response of intestinal Escherichia coli to dietary factors in the mouse intestine
… diets. Proteins belonging to the oxidative stress regulon oxyR such as alkyl hydroperoxide reductase subunit F (AhpF), DNA protection during starvation protein (Dps) and ferric uptake regulatory protein (Fur), which are required for E. coli’s oxidative stress response, were upregulated in E. …

TIME COURSE OF SIGNALING PROCESSES INVOLVED WITH EXTRACELLULAR OSMOTIC - INDUCED GLUCOSE UPTAKE IN MAMMALIAN SKELETAL MUSCLE
Extracellular hyper-osmotic (HYPER) stress increases glucose uptake to defend cell volume, when compared to iso-osmotic (ISO) conditions in skeletal muscle. The purpose of this study was to determine a time course for changes in common signaling proteins involved in glucose uptake during acute …

Genotypic differences and water stress-induced changes in lipids of maize hybrids
… evaluated for their ability to tolerate mild osmotic stresses (-0.4 and -0.6 MPa, polyethylene glycol-induced), osmotically induced changes in lipid composition, and differences in membrane stability as measured by electrolyte leakage. Inherent differences among the hybrids included reduced …

The Regulation of Autophagy and Its Role in Mitotic Exit
… viral infection, exercise and oxidative stress. In this work, we studied the role of autophagy in starvation-induced cell cycle arrest and quiescence entry, and studied the function and regulation of a major phosphorylation site of Beclin 1, serine 90. In the first study, we found that …

Regulation of ethylene receptor expression in Arabidopsis
… remained unchanged. Third, the effect of abiotic stress upon expression of ethylene receptors was examined. Microarray analysis indicated that the expression of ETR1, ETR2, and ERS1 was reduced after exposure to salt stress, while expression of ERS2 and EIN4 remained unchanged. Changes in gene …
