Abstract excerpt
We report here that in Escherichia coli, the anti-bacterial agent nalidixic acid induces transient stabilization and increased synthesis of sigma 32, accompanied by the induction of heat shock proteins (Dnak and GroEL proteins). The induction of heat shock proteins, increased synthesis of sigma 32, and stabilization of sigma 32 observed on treatment of wild-type cells with nalidixic acid were not observed in a...
