TL;DR
New data is presented that indicates that E. coli strains deficient in either dnaK or dnaJ overexpress other heat shock inducible proteins (such as the chaperonin groEL and groES) and are incompetent for phage replication at any temperature (for reviews see Georgopoulos et al, 1990, Ang et al., 1991).

1,469 Citations1986Sean Munro, Hugh R.B. Pelham
A cDNA clone is characterized that encodes a protein related to the 70 kd heat shock protein, but is expressed in normal rat liver, and it is identical with two previously described proteins: GRP78, whose synthesis is induced by glucose starvation, and BiP, which is found bound to immunoglobulin heavy chains in pre-B cells.

1,303 Citations1990Richard P. Beckmann, Lee E. Mizzen +1 more
A model consistent with these data suggests that under normal growth conditions, cytosolic Hsp 72,73 interact transiently with nascent polypeptides to facilitate proper folding, and that metabolic stress interferes with these events.

1,049 Citations1990Kevin Flaherty, C. DeLuca-Flaherty +1 more
Surprisingly, the nucleotide-binding 'core' of the ATPase fragment has a tertiary structure similar to that of hexokinase, although the remainder of the structures of the two proteins are completely dissimilar, suggesting that both the phosphotransferase mechanism and the substrate-induced conformational change intrinsic to the hexokinases may be used by the 70K heat shock-related proteins.
