Abstract excerpt
In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the heat shock protein ClpB functions as a molecular chaperone and plays a key role in resisting high temperature stress. ClpB is important for the development of thermotolerance in yeast and cyanobacteria but apparently not in Escherichia coli. We undertook a complementation study to investigate whether the ClpB protein from E coli (EcClpB) differs functionally from its...
