Abstract excerpt
Induction of stress proteins in response to heat shock was found to be reduced significantly in Escherichia coli with DeltatopA mutation. RNase H overexpression in the DeltatopA mutant partially restored the sigma(32)-dependent induction of stress genes in response to high temperature and ethanol. The presence of overexpressed RNase H also improved the survival rate of the DeltatopA mutant after high temperature...
