From Paper on Chaperon Dependent Mechanisms

 * It's about how Bacteria survive in Acidic Systems.
 * This is for how Chaperones help in it.

Acid Resistant Mechanisms
To survive in an extremely acidic environment, many enteric bacteria employ amino acid decarboxylase systems that decarboxylate glutamate, arginine or lysine (Table 1, Figure 1) [15,16]. In each of these systems, a cytoplasmic decarboxylase converts its substrate into a respective amine (g-aminobutyric acid, agmatine or cadaverine) and an antiporter exchanges the imported amino acid for the cytoplasmic amine produced [17–20]. These sys- tems consume one cytoplasmic proton during amino acid decarboxylation, which in turn raises the cytoplasmic pH [6]. Therefore, while protons continuously leak into the cytoplasm, the cytoplasmic pH could be maintained at $pH 4.5, a level that could be tolerated by the bacteria [6]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewinster (talk • contribs) 07:35, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Thoughts

 * Chaperones can be those proteins that are a part of the entire stimulon. Just like the Lac Operon is about the transporter and permease. We have merely started with a different angle.
 * The background could contain Host Pathogen INteractions — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewinster (talk • contribs) 07:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
