Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli FtsH degrades several integral membrane proteins, including YccA, having seven transmembrane segments, a cytosolic N-terminus and a periplasmic C-terminus. Evidence indicates that FtsH initiates proteolysis at the N-terminal cytosolic domain. SecY, having 10 transmembrane segments, is also a substrate of FtsH. We studied whether and how the FtsH-catalyzed proteolysis on the cytosolic side...
