Abstract excerpt
The heat-shock protein ClpB is a protein-activated ATPase that is essential for survival of Escherichia coli at high temperatures. ClpB has also recently been suggested to function as a chaperone in reactivation of aggregated proteins. In addition, the clpB gene has been shown to contain two translational initiation sites and therefore encode two polypeptides of different size. To determine the structural...
