A mutant HemA protein with positive charge close to the N terminus is stabilized against heme-regulated proteolysis in Salmonella typhimurium.

Abstract excerpt

The HemA enzyme (glutamyl-tRNA reductase) catalyzes the first committed step in heme biosynthesis in the enteric bacteria. HemA is mainly regulated by conditional protein stability; it is stable and, consequently, more abundant in heme-limited cells but unstable and less abundant in normally growing cells. Both the Lon and ClpAP energy-dependent proteases contribute to HemA turnover in vivo. Here we report that...
