Characterization of cspB, a Bacillus subtilis inducible cold shock gene affecting cell viability at low temperatures

Abstract: A new class of cold shock-induced proteins that may be involved in an adaptive process required for cell viability at low temperatures or may function as antifreeze proteins in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been identified. We purified a small Bacillus subtilis cold shock protein (CspB) and determined its amino-terminal sequence. By using mixed degenerate oligonucleotides, the corresponding gene (cspB) was cloned on two overlapping fragments of 5 and 6 kb. The gene encodes an acidic 67-amin… Show more

“…The third selected gene is CspB, which codes for a coldshock induced protein involved in cellular adaptation to low temperature in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and has also been identified in Bacillus subtilis (Willimsky et al, 1992). Cold-shock proteins are nucleic acid-binding chaperones that are induced to stabilize mRNA after a significant drop in temperature (Mazzon et al, 2012).…”
