Abstract excerpt
The low molecular weight (LMW) heat shock protein (HSP), HSP16.6, in the unicellular cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, protects cells from elevated temperatures. A 95% reduction in the survival of mutant cells with an inactivated hsp16.6 was observed after exposure for 1 h at 47 degrees C. Wild-type cell survival was reduced to only 41%. HSP16.6 is also involved in the development of thermotolerance....
