RESUMO

Heat shock at 37 degrees C induces synthesis of stress (heat shock) proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and also induces thermotolerance. Amino acid analogs that are powerful inducers of stress protein synthesis failed to induce thermotolerance, suggesting that the stress proteins do not play a causal role in acquired thermotolerance at 37 degrees C. This suggestion was confirmed by the observation that protein synthesis was not required for the induction of thermotolerance at 37 degrees C.
