Abstract

The htpR locus in Escherichia coli encodes a regulator of the heat shock response. Cells containing the htpR165 mutation are defective in the induction of synthesis of heat-shock proteins at high temperature. We show that these cells are also defective in degrading two proteins that are normally unstable in htpR+ cells. The proteolytic defect is manifest at both 30 degrees C and 42 degrees C. We used a marker rescue technique to map this defect to the htpR locus. Although both proteolytic substrates are partially stabilized in lon- strains, we argue that the defect in proteolysis exhibited by the htpR165 strain does not mimic the lon- state. The htpR165 strain synthesizes Lon at the normal rate at 30 degrees C and does not show the phenotypes of mucoidy and radiation sensitivity associated with lon- strains.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
