Maillot et al. demonstrate that the environmental bacterium Shewanella oneidensis possesses a previously uncharacterized J‐ domain protein, AtcJ and that its interaction with the target protein AtcC is important for this bacterial adaptation to the cold. This study identifies a protein network that allows bacteria to survive cold stress.
