Abstract excerpt
Under non-stressed conditions in Escherichia coli, the heat shock transcription factor sigma(32) is rapidly degraded by the AAA protease FtsH. The DnaK chaperone system is also required for the rapid turnover of sigma(32) in the cell. It has been hypothesized that the DnaK chaperone system facilitates the degradation of sigma(32) by sequestering it from RNA polymerase core. This hypothesis predicts that mutant...
