Cloning and characterization of cspL and cspP, two cold-inducible genes from Lactobacillus plantarum

Two cold shock genes, cspL and cspP, have been cloned from two Lactobacillus plantarum strains. These genes, which are nonallelic were present in all strains tested. The genes encode 66-amino-acid polypeptides related to each other and to the cold shock Csp family. Transcription of cspP rendered a s...

Description
Summary:Two cold shock genes, cspL and cspP, have been cloned from two Lactobacillus plantarum strains. These genes, which are nonallelic were present in all strains tested. The genes encode 66-amino-acid polypeptides related to each other and to the cold shock Csp family. Transcription of cspP rendered a single mRNA, while two cspL mRNAs were found with common 5' ends. The amounts of these transcripts increased moderately upon exposure of the cultures to cold
