Disease relevance of cspG

This newly cloned cspG gene is located at 22 min on the E. coli genetic map, apart from the other cspA family genes [1].
Cloning of two cold shock genes, cspA and cspG, from the deep-sea psychrophilic bacterium Shewanella violacea strain DSS12 [2].
In vitro analysis of the butyrolactone autoregulator receptor protein (FarA) of Streptomyces lavendulae FRI-5 reveals that FarA acts as a DNA-binding transcriptional regulator that controls its own synthesis [3].

High impact information on cspG

Analyses of a cspG-lacZ transcriptional fusion and Northern (RNA) hybridization revealed that cspG is a low-temperature-responsive gene [1].
