Mechanisms of Thermal Tolerance
  1. Avoiding Protein denaturation at high temperatures
    1. the Heat Shock Response
      1. Through heat shock proteins
        1. either constitutive or inducible
          1. Work normally folding proteins
          2. when heat shock occurs HSPs act to refold damaged proteins (ATP dependent)
          3. Dutton and Hoffman (2009) HsPs in field collected Mytilus galloprovincialis
            1. Found a greater response in different populations
              1. southern population were used to higher temps so difdnt suffer as much damage
                1. Lower HSP expression
          4. Avoiding Blood Freezing at low temperatures
            1. Freeze avoidance
              1. Using Antifreeze proteins
                1. Proteins bind to ice surface preventing more water molecules joining
                  1. proteins then melt the ice
                2. Notothenoid fish
                3. Cold Tolerance
                  1. Ice Nucleating Proteins (INPs)
                    1. Murphy (1977) looked at blood Ca level and freezing in Ribbed Mussel
                      1. Found that Ca binds to membrane reducing cell damage during freezing
                        1. Calcium stabilizes the membrane, preventing denaturation
                  2. Maintaining reactions over a range of temperatures
                    1. Short Term
                      1. Alterations of enzyme effective concentration
                        1. Alterations to concentration on the subtrate
                          1. Increased energy supply for enzyme being catalysed
                            1. Alterations to intracellular environment
                            2. Mid Term
                              1. Alterations to isoform
                                1. e.g. myosin in slow muscle fibres of Common Carp
                              2. Evolutionary enzyme adaptions
                                1. Somero (2010) Looked at Enzyme bindng to NADH in limet
                                  1. Found enzyme activity stopped at 42 Degrees
                                    1. Each form could tolerate a different temp
                                      1. Only differed in one amino acid
                                2. Maintaining membrane stability over a range of temperatures
                                  1. Short Term
                                    1. have to maintain cell structure in order to maintain Membrane structure
                                      1. Done through variation of lipid structure
                                        1. using short, unsaturated fatty acids (more fluid)
