Abstract excerpt
When organisms ranging from microbes to man are subjected to certain environmental stresses a characteristic 'heat shock' response is observed. In Escherichia coli this response is characterized by the induction of several proteins, three of which are the 70 kilodalton product of the dnaK gene, the 60 kilodalton product of the groEL (mopA) gene and the 15 kilodalton product of the groES (mopB) gene. In this...
