Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the cold shock response is exerted upon a temperature change from 37 degrees C to 15 degrees C and is characterized by induction of several cold shock proteins, including polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase), during acclimation phase. In E. coli, PNPase is essential for growth at low temperatures; however, its exact role in this essential function has not been fully elucidated. PNPase is a...
