A cold shock domain (CSD)-containing protein, CspD, of molecular mass ~7.28 kDa in a psychrotolerant Antarctic Janthinobacterium sp. Ant5-2 (ATCC BAA-2154) exhibited constitutive expression at 37, 22, 15, 4 and -1°C. The cspD gene encoding the CspD protein of Ant5-2 was cloned, sequenced and analyzed. The deduced protein sequence was highly similar to the conserved domains of the cold shock proteins (Csps) from bacteria belonging to the class Betaproteobacteria. Its expression was both time- and growth phase-dependent and increased when exposed to 37°C and UV radiation (UVC, dose: 1.8 and 2.8 mJ cm(-2)). The results from the electrophoretic mobility shift and subcellular localization study confirmed its single-stranded DNA-binding property. In silico analysis of the deduced tertiary structure of CspD from Ant5-2 showed a highly stable domain-swapped dimer, forming two similar monomeric Csp folds. This study established an overall framework of the structure, function and phylogenetic analysis of CspD from an Antarctic Janthinobacterium sp. Ant5-2, which may facilitate and stimulate the study of CSD fold proteins in the class Betaproteobacteria.

Cold‑inducible RNA‑binding protein (CIRP) is a cold shock protein implicated in the regulation of multiple biological processes depending on its cellular localization. However, to the best of our knowledge, the role of CIRP in liver regeneration and injury after hepatectomy has not been investigated. The present study was therefore designed to explore whether CIRP is involved in liver regeneration after hepatectomy and its specific role and underlying molecular mechanism.

Background: Calmodulin-binding transcription activator (CAMTA) proteins play significant roles in signal transduction, growth and development, as well as abiotic stress responses, in plants. Understanding their involvement in the low-temperature stress response of teak is vital for revealing cold resistance mechanisms.
Results: Through bioinformatics analysis, the CAMTA gene family in teak was examined, and six CAMTA genes were identified in teak.

The growth and reproduction of microorganisms are dependent on nutrient supply. Here, Milk and LB media were utilized as nutrition sources for Escherichia coli, and the changes in bacterial and secretory proteins at 3 time points (3, 9, and 18 h) in the growth cycle were studied using a label-free proteomics technique. The findings revealed that the abundances of bacterial intracellular proteins inosine/xanthosine triphosphatase and universal stress protein F increase dramatically during the growth phase in milk and LB media.
