DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE heat shock proteins negatively regulate heat shock gene expression by controlling the synthesis and stability of sigma 32.
Open accessAbstract
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 off the heat shock response after shift to high temperature. These regulatory defects are due to the loss of normal control over the synthesis and stability of sigma 32, the alternate RNA polymerase sigma-factor required for heat shock gene expression. We conclude that DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE regulate the concentration of sigma 32. We suggest that the synthesis of heat shock proteins is controlled by a homeostatic mechanism linking the function of heat shock proteins to the concentration of sigma 32.

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.
