Are dnaK and GroEL chaperones recruited to the Bacillus subtilis membrane after short-term ethanol stress?
In B. subtilis, the adaptive response to short-term ethanol stress comprises the recruitment of molecular chaperones on the impaired membrane structure; consequently, the phospholipid synthesis is restored and membrane fluidity adapts properly to the continuing ethanol stress.
These data offer new evidence that NOD2 mutations contribute to inflammatory bowel disease by causing excessive TLR2 cytokine responses.
