Role of heat shock protein DnaK in osmotic adaptation of Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli can adapt and recover growth at high osmolarity. Adaptation requires the deplasmolysis of cells previously plasmolyzed by the fast efflux of water promoted by osmotic upshift. Deplasmolysis is essentially ensured by a net osmo-dependent influx of K+. The cellular content of the heat shock protein DnaK is increased in response to osmotic upshift and does not decrease as long as osmolarity is high....
