Shewanellasp. Ac10 is a psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from the Antarctica that actively grows at such low temperatures as 0°C. Immunoblot analyses showed that a heat-shock protein DnaK is inducibly formed by the bacterium at 24°C, which is much lower than the temperatures causing heat shock in mesophiles such asEscherichia coli. We found that theShewanellaDnaK (SheDnaK) shows much higher ATPase activity at low temperatures than the DnaK ofE. coli(EcoDnaK): a characteristic of a cold-active enzyme. The recombinant SheDnaK gene supported neither the growth of adnaK-null mutant ofE. coliat 43°C nor λ phage propagation at an even lower temperature, 30°C. However, the recombinant SheDnaK gene enabled theE. colimutant to grow at 15°C. This is the first report of a DnaK supporting the growth of adnaK-null mutant at low temperatures.
