Disease relevance of dnaK

We fused an 805-bp promoter region of the dnaK gene seamlessly to the luxA coding sequence and integrated the P(dnaK)::luxAB fusion gene into a specific intergenic region of the Synechocystis genome (targeting site 1) [1].

High impact information on dnaK

There was a close correlation between thylakoid fluidity levels, monitored by steady-state 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene anisotropy, and threshold temperatures required for maximal activation of all of the HS-inducible genes investigated, including dnaK, groESL, cpn60, and hsp17 [2].
