Resumo

Significance Severe heat stress causes massive protein loss by aggregation ultimately causing cell death. Cellular survival relies on protein disaggregation mediated by the Hsp70-ClpB (Hsp100) bichaperone system in most bacteria. Pseudomonas aeruginosa additionally codes for two stand-alone ClpG disaggregases, which had been acquired by horizontal gene transfer by the species and most abundant clone C strains, respectively. These ClpG disaggregases largely contribute to the resolution of protein aggregates to confer superior heat tolerance partially replacing the DnaK-ClpB system.
