Description 1 online resource (197 pages) : illustrations Contents Environmental stressors -- Stress effects disturbing cellular homeostasis -- Stress defense systems and their response to stress -- Basal signal transduction systems involved in stress response -- Two major second messenger systems: cAMP and Ca[superscript 2+] -- The MAPK cascade -- The stress-protein system -- Types, structures, and functions of stress proteins -- The sp70 family -- The cytoplasmic cognates: hsc70 and hsc70b -- The mitochondrial sp70: hsc71 -- The sp70 in the ER: hsc72 -- The inducible cytoplasmic (nuclear) stress proteins: hsp70 and hsp68 -- hsp83 -- Small HSPs -- Ubiquitin -- Gene expression, posttranscriptional, and translational regulation of stress proteins -- Gene expression of stress proteins -- The heat-shock (transcription) factor (HSF) -- The heat-shock gene promoter -- Gene expression and regulation -- Posttranscriptional and translational regulation of stress proteins -- Regulation of recovery -- Multiple pathways for stress protein gene expression -- The oxidative stress response system -- Cellular response to reactive oxygen species -- Generation of reactive oxygen species and cellular response under homeostatic conditions -- Cellular responses to oxidative stress -- The metallothionein system -- Properties and types of metallothionein -- Regulation of metallothionein -- Heavy metal stress -- The mixed-function oxygenase system -- Description of the mixed-function oxygenase system -- The mixed-function oxygenase system in insects -- Degradation of xenobiotics in insects Summary While the subject of environmental stress in animals is broad, the available information is fragmentary and lacks an up-to-date overview and analysis. Environmental Stress and Cellular Response in Arthropods fills these knowledge gaps. Written by three experts from the same institution, the chapters have a consistency not often found in multi-authored or contributed books. The authors describe environmental stress in arthropods, specifically Drosophila and analyze the process in all its aspects, from biochemical mechanisms to effects on the whole organism.
