Characterization of a Small Heat Shock Protein, Mx Hsp16.6, of Myxococcus xanthus

Abstract: A number of heat shock proteins in Myxococcus xanthus were previously identified by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis. One of these protein was termed Mx Hsp16.6, and the gene encoding Mx Hsp16.6 was isolated. Mx Hsp16.6 consists of 147 amino acid residues and has an estimated molecular weight of 16,642, in accordance with the apparent molecular mass in the 2D gel. An ␣-crystallin domain, typically conserved in small heat shock proteins, was found in Mx Hsp16.6. Mx Hsp16.6 was not detected during normal… Show more

“…5). These genetic and phenotypic data are consistent with a role in M. xanthus for the predicted ClpB encoded by MXAN5092 as a stress-related chaperone protein involved in cellular tolerance of environmental stresses, as reported in other bacteria (Squires et al, 1991;Otani et al, 2005;Simão et al, 2005;Ventura et al, 2005;Meibom et al, 2008).…”

“…The M. xanthus genome encodes a large number of chaperones of different families (Goldman et al, 2006). Some of these chaperones have been shown to be induced in response to elevated temperature or other cellular stresses, and their functional roles in helping bacteria to cope with stressful conditions by inhibiting and reversing protein aggregation, as well as their involvement in the complex social behaviours of myxobacteria have been characterized (Weimer et al, 1998;Yang et al, 1998;Otani et al, 2005;. In this study we focused on MXAN5092, an M. xanthus ORF encoding a protein with strong sequence homology to ClpB (Fig.…”
