Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli DnaK heat shock protein has been identified previously as a negative regulator of E. coli heat shock gene expression. We report that two other heat shock proteins, DnaJ and GrpE, are also involved in the negative regulation of heat shock gene expression. Strains carrying defective dnaK, dnaJ, or grpE alleles have enhanced synthesis of heat shock proteins at low temperature and fail to shut...
