Abstract excerpt
In this study we have shown that (i) induction of the heat-shock response can substitute for SecB function in Escherichia coli, (ii) SecB itself is not a heat-shock protein and (iii) a basal level of heat-shock proteins is required for cells to grow in the absence of a functional SecB protein. Overproduction of DnaK, or GroEL/ES, which were candidates for the heat-shock proteins that could substitute for SecB...
