Environmental Stress Responses of DnaJA1, DnaJB12 and DnaJC8 in Apis cerana cerana.

ABSTRACT: DnaJ, also known as Hsp40, plays important roles in maintaining the normal physiological state of an organism under stress conditions by mediating essential processes, such as protein synthesis, degradation, folding and metabolism. However, the exact functions of most DnaJ members are not fully understood in insects. Here, we identified three genes, AccDnaJA1, AccDnaJB12, and AccDnaJC8, in Apis cerana cerana and explored their connection with the environmental stress response. Quantitative real-time PCR results showed that the mRNA levels of AccDnaJA1, AccDnaJB12, and AccDnaJC8 were all induced under cold, UV, H₂O₂ and different pesticides treatment. The expression patterns of AccDnaJB12 and AccDnaJC8 were
