Abstract excerpt
A Chinese hamster ovary temperature-sensitive mutant (CHO-tsH1) with defective leucyl-tRNA synthetase at temperatures greater than 39 degrees C was used to examine the importance of protein synthesis in the development of thermotolerance. Its wild-type parent CHO-SC1 was used as the control. At temperatures of 41.5 degrees C, 42 degrees C and 42.5 degrees C, SC1 showed the classical biphasic thermotolerant...
