Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The synthesis of CspA, the major cold-shock protein of Escherichia coli, is dramatically induced upon cold shock. It was recently reported that there is massive presence of CspA under nonstress conditions, and it is thus claimed that CspA as the cold-shock protein is a misnomer. RESULTS: Here, we re-examined and confirmed that CspA is induced upon culture dilution at 37 degrees C. However, its...
