Enteric bacteria respond to misfolded proteins by activating the transcription of “heat shock”
genes. These genes are arranged in two major regulons controlled by the alternative sigma …

Bacteria respond to an abrupt decrease in temperature with a specific response, in which
cold-induced proteins (CIPs) are transiently expressed at a higher level. Employing two …

The major cold‐shock protein of Bacillus subtilis, CspB, is a member of a protein family
widespread among prokaryotes and eukaryotes that share the highly conserved cold‐shock …

All organisms respond to various forms of stress, including heat shock. The heat shock
response has been universally conserved from bacteria to humans. In Escherichia coli the …

In this study, in vitro RNA binding by members of the mammalian 70-kDa heat shock protein
(Hsp) family was examined. We show that Hsp/Hsc70 and Hsp110 proteins preferentially …

The cold‐shock response, characterized by a specific pattern of gene expression, is induced
upon a downshift in temperature and in the presence of inhibitors of ribosomal function …

Upon temperature downshift below the lower threshold of balanced growth (~ 20° C), the
Escherichia coli translational apparatus undergoes modifications allowing the selective …

Sequence analysis has shown that there is a short motif of 8 amino acids, corresponding to
the RNP-1 motif found in canonical RNA-binding domains, which is common to two families …

Sequence-specific 1H and 15N resonance assignments have been determined for the major
cold shock protein (CspA) from Escherichia coli with recently developed three-dimensional …

The human unr gene encodes an 85 kDa protein which contains five cold shock domains
(CSD). The capacity of Unr to interact in vitro with RNA and its intracellular localization …
