Escherichia coli starvation proteins include several heat shock proteins whose induction by heat is controlled by the minor sigma factor, sigma 32. The level of sigma 32 increased in wild-type E. coli upon starvation, and three sigma 32-controlled heat shock proteins (DnaK, GroEL, and HtpG) were not induced during starvation in an isogenic delta rpoH strain, which is unable to synthesize sigma 32. Thus, sigma 32 plays a role in the induction of these proteins during both heat shock and starvation. The delta rpoH strain was more sensitive to starvation but could develop starvation-mediated cross protection against heat and oxidation.
大肠杆菌饥饿蛋白包括几种热休克蛋白,其受热诱导由次要的σ因子σ32控制。在饥饿条件下,野生型大肠杆菌中σ32的水平升高,而在无法合成σ32的同基因ΔrpoH菌株中,饥饿期间三种受σ32控制的热休克蛋白(DnaK、GroEL和HtpG)未被诱导。因此,σ32在热休克和饥饿期间这些蛋白质的诱导过程中均发挥作用。ΔrpoH菌株对饥饿更敏感,但可产生饥饿介导的对热和氧化的交叉保护作用。
