Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: CspA, the major cold-shock protein of Escherichia coli, is transiently induced upon temperature downshift and considered to play an important role in low-temperature adaptation. RESULTS: Overproduction of truncated cspA mRNAs retaining translational ability was found to completely blo...
