In molecular biology the cold-shock domain (CSD) is a protein domain of about 70 amino acids which has been found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins. Part of this domain is highly similar to the RNP-1 RNA-binding motif.When Escherichia coli is exposed to a temperature drop from 37 to 10 degrees Celsius a 4-5 hour lag phase occurs after which growth is resumed at a reduced rate.
