Abstract

Heat shock stimulates cellular production of protein folding chaperones. This response is a reaction to, and likely triggered by, protein misfolding and aggregation. Using a proteome-scale mass spectrometry screen for protein aggregation upon heat shock in vivo, we found that many components of the translational apparatus associate into high-molecular weight species. One such component is the ternary yeast multi-tRNA synthetase complex (glutamyl- and methionyl-tRNA synthetases Gus1 and Mes1 with their aminoacylation cofactor Arc1).
