RNA remodeling and gene regulation by cold shock proteins

S Phadtare, K Severinov - RNA biology, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
One of the many important consequences that temperature down-shift has on cells is
stabilization of secondary structures of RNAs. This stabilization has wide-spread effects …

B Xia, H Ke, M Inouye - Molecular microbiology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Escherichia coli contains a large CspA family, CspA to CspI. Here, we demonstrate that E.
coli is highly protected against cold‐shock stress, as these CspA homologues existed at …

Escherichia coli CspA-family RNA chaperones are transcription antiterminators

W Bae, B Xia, M Inouye… - Proceedings of the …, 2000 - National Acad Sciences
CspA, the major cold-shock protein of Escherichia coli, is an RNA chaperone, which is
thought to facilitate translation at low temperature by destabilizing mRNA structures. Here …
