Disease relevance of cspI

The CspA family of cold shock genes in Escherichia coli K-12 includes nine paralogs, cspA to cspI [1].

High impact information on cspI

Surprisingly, E. coli contains a large CspA family, consisting of nine genes from cspA to cspI [2].
The cspI gene is located at 35.2 min on the E. coli chromosome map, and CspI shows 70, 70, and 79% identity to CspA, CspB, and CspG, respectively [3].
