Coupled transcription-translation (CTT) is a hallmark of prokaryotic gene expression. CTT
occurs when ribosomes associate with and initiate translation of mRNAs whose transcription …

“Bacteria have evolved adaptive networks to face the challenges of changing environments
and to survive under conditions of stress. Therefore, the efficiencies of inactivation and …

Members of a family of cold-shock proteins (CSPs) are found throughout the eubacterial
domain and appear to function as RNA-chaperones. They have been implicated in various …

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes exhibit a cold-shock response upon an abrupt temperature
downshift. Cold-shock proteins are synthesized to overcome the deleterious effects of cold …

CspA was originally found as the major cold‐shock protein in Escherichia coli, consisting of
70‐amino‐acid residues. It forms a β‐barrel structure with five anti‐parallel β‐strands and …

Mining the emerging abundance of microbial genome sequences for hypotheses is an
exciting prospect of “functional genomics”. At the forefront of this effort, we compared the …

Members of a family of small cold-shock proteins (CSPs) are induced during bacterial cell
response to a temperature decrease. Here we review available data about the structure …

A 70-kDa protein was specifically induced in Escherichia coli when the culture temperature
was shifted from 37 to 15 degrees C. The protein was identified to be the product of the …

The gram-positive bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen of both
public health and food safety significance. It possesses three small, highly homologous …

Like other bacteria, Bacillus subtilis possesses a family of homologous small acidic proteins
(CspB, CspC and CspD, identity> 70%) that are strongly induced in response to cold shock …
