Abstract excerpt
We examined the expression and the function of the DnaK chaperone family in the photoautotrophic cyanobacterium, Synechocystis PCC 6803. Surprisingly, only one of the three dnaK genes was transcribed either under normal or heat shock conditions. Their predicted cochaperones (four dnaJs and one grpE) proved to be uninducible under our experimental conditions. Attempts to inactivate the active dnaK2 has failed,...
