Abstract
Neurons deviate from a canonical heat shock response (HSR). Here, we revealed that neuronal adaptation to heat shock accompanies a brake on mRNA translation, slowed elongating ribosomes, phosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor-2 (p-eEF2), and suppressed the integrated stress response (ISR). Returning neurons to control temperature within 1 h of starting heat shock was necessary for survival and allowed for restored translation following dephosphorylation of eEF2. Subsequent to recovery, neurons briefly activated the ISR and were sensitive to the ISR inhibitor ISRIB, which enhanced protein synthesis and survival. Ribosome profiling and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) identified newly synthesized and existing transcripts associated with ribosomes during heat shock. Preservation of these transcripts for translation during recovery was in part mediated by p-eEF2 and slowed ribosomes. Our work supports a neuronal heat shock model of a partially suspended state of translation poised for rapid reversal if recovery becomes an option and provides insight into regulation between the HSR and the ISR.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
