Abstract excerpt
The temperature-sensitive bacteriophage lambda cI857 repressor protein rapidly renatures after thermal inactivation. E. coli mutants in the heat shock protein genes dnaK, dnaJ, and grpE do not efficiently reactivate heat-denatured repressor. Our results suggest that protein refolding is promoted...
