Temperature
Affects the rates of biochemical reactions, and of physical processes (diffusion, osmosis)
Protein conformation and enzyme function
Affects metabolic rate
![Page 8: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Body Temperature
Poikilotherm: body temperature is variable
Homeotherm: body temperature is constant
Ectotherm: regulate body temperature externally (behavior); most are poikilotherms
Endotherm: elevated body temperature using metabolic heat (mammals, birds, tuna, some insects); many are homeotherms
![Page 9: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Evolution of Body Temperature
Why are endotherms 35-40°C?
Many ectotherms aim for these temperatures as well
Optimal for enzyme activity Faster neuronal, hormonal function Slight elevation: Easier to gain than lose heat Physical properties of water are at an ideal balance of
viscosity, specific heat, and ionization

EndothermyEndothermy
Buffers biochemical reactions against temperature stress
Allows organisms to invade a broader range of habitats
![Page 12: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Evolved independently multiple times WHY?
Two Hypotheses:
Thermoregulatory Advantage• Maintain constant body temperature• Easier to maintain a high body T than lower
Aerobic Capacity Advantage• Selection for enhanced physical performance
(endurance, locomotion)• With increased heat production as a secondary effect
Thermoregulation: evolutionary causes?

So heat production is directly linked to metabolism…
And also oxygen consumption and food intake
![Page 19: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Mechanism of heat production Mechanism of heat production through mitochondrial proton leakthrough mitochondrial proton leak
![Page 20: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Typically, the Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation (ATP production) is coupled.
When they are not, the energy released by electron transport is released as heat, rather than used to make ATP
![Page 21: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ATP Synthase
![Page 22: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In specialized cells of Endotherms, protons leak across the membrane through uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1 = thermogenin)
Such proton diffusion generates heat
![Page 23: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
This uncoupled reaction occurs to a high degree in brown adipose tissue, which has large numbers of large mitochondria
Cold --> release Norepinephrine
Hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in BAT (Brown Adipose Tissue) cells to release fuels for mitochondrial oxidation
Lipid oxidation proceeds with UCP1 activated

Nonshivering thermogenesis
Increase rate of oxidation of stored lipids
Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation from electron transport in the mitochondria
Allows energy to be released as heat rather than stored as ATP
More prominent in cold-adapted mammals, hibernators, newborns

• Last time we discussed the structure and function of enzymes, which are proteins
• Protein folding depends on thermodynamics, and can be disrupted by high temperatures
• How is protein structure and function maintained under conditions of temperature (or other) stresses?
![Page 27: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ensure correct protein folding
Not only used for temperature stress, but also other stresses (osmotic shock, etc)

• The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster lay their eggs on rotting fruit
• The larvae can experience very high temperatures while growing on the fruit
• They use the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to break down alcohol that accumulates in the rotting fruit
• They need to protect their proteins and enzymes such as ADH against denaturing under heat stress

Inserting extra copies of Hsp 70 enhanced tolerance of high temperature in Drosophila melanogaster
Extra copy strain: 12 copiesExcision strain: 10 copies
Number of copies affects the degree of hsp expression(the amount of hsp transcribed)
![Page 32: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Evolutionary tradeoffs of high Hsp expression?
Cost to growth: Constant (constitutive) expression of hsp inhibits cell proliferation (would inhibit growth)
Cost to Reproduction: decreases rates of age-specific mortality during normal aging, while maternally experienced heat shock depresses the production of mature progeny (Silbermann and Tatar 2000)
![Page 33: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Temperatures at which HSPs are induced have evolved to correspond to temperatures that are stressful for a given species or cell type.
Antarctic organisms begin to express HSPs at relatively low temperatures (< 10°C) (Vayda and Yuan 1994)
Some hyperthermophiles do not express HSPs until temperatures exceed 60°C (Trent, Osipiuk et al. 1990; Ohta, Honda et al. 1993; Polla, Kantengwa et al. 1993; Trent, Gabrielsen et al. 1994)
Hypothermic regions of mammals (e.g., testis) express HSPs at lower temperatures than normothermic organs (Sarge 1995; Sarge, Bray et al. 1995)
![Page 34: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Canalization (flip side of plasticity)
Influenced by developmental stability
Stress could disrupt canalization and lead to new phenotypes
Particular genes might be important for maintaining developmental stability and buffer against perturbations

A potential “plasticity gene”in response to environmental stress
Heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp 90) chaperones the maturation of many regulatory proteins
In Drosophila melanogaster, buffers genetic variation in morphogenetic pathways
Reducing Hsp90 function in Drosophila or Arabidopsis produces an array of morphological phenotypes, revealing hidden genetic variation
![Page 37: Temperature](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062808/5681552c550346895dc30600/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Unlike case of Drosophila, diverse phenotypes here were not “monstrous” but potentially adaptive
Dependence on Hsp90 for developmental stability varied

Potential Mechanism:
Under stress, Hsp90 is recruited to maintain protein folding and the function of proteins
Ability to maintain developmental pathway is exceeded

When mapped onto the three-dimensional structure of the fish antifreeze type III antifreeze structure, these codons correspond to amino acid positions that surround but do not interrupt the putative ice-binding surface.
The selective agent may be related to efficient binding to diverse ice surfaces or some other aspect of AFP function.
