Abstract

Infective juveniles (IJs) of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Steinernema feltiae IS-6 can survive exposure to 24% glycerol solution by entering an osmotically desiccated state. Exposure of osmotically desiccated nematodes to extreme temperature assays (40 °C for 10 h and −20 °C for 360 h) resulted in gradual reduction in survival, whereas non-desiccated IJs died within a short exposure to the assay conditions. Through SDS-PAGE, a stress-related protein UNC-87 was found in osmotically desiccated IJs exposed to 40 °C for 3, 6, and 8 h, whose survival rates were 98·9±1·43, 78·5±5·87 and 20·9±4·93%, respectively. The protein was not found in IJs following exposure of osmotically desiccated individuals to 40 °C for 10 h, in which none of the IJs survived. After exposure to −20 °C for 360 h, the survival of osmotically desiccated EPNs with a weak band of UNC-87 was 13·0±3·32%. To identify other responsive proteins that are required for osmotic stress, we used 2-dimensional electrophoresis to analyse the proteins in osmotically desiccated EPNs. The results revealed that 10 novel protein spots and 10 up-regulated protein spots in osmotically desiccated IJs were detected by digital image analysis. Mass spectrometry analysis of 7 significant spots indicated that osmotic stress in desiccated IJs was associated with the induction of actin, Proteasome regulatory particle (ATPase-like), GroEL chaperonin, GroES co-chaperonin and transposase family member. It seems to show actin, UNC-87 and Proteasome regulatory particle may play distinct roles in specific aspects of organization of macromolecular structures under desiccation stress. GroEL and GroES are members of the Hsp60 family of chaperons.
