Heat shock and hydrogen peroxide responses of Escherichia coli are not changed by dinucleoside tetraphosphate hydrolase overproduction.

Abstract

In Escherichia coli strains overproducing dinucleoside tetraphosphate hydrolase, the accumulation of dinucleoside tetraphosphates (AppppN, with N = A, C, G, or U) during heat shock or H2O2 treatment was reduced about 10-fold as compared with a control strain. This accumulation neither modified the pattern of the proteins induced by a temperature shift or H2O2 nor reduced the protection against oxidative damage induced by moderate H2O2 levels.
