Abstract excerpt
A key step in the regulation of heat shock genes in Escherichia coli is the stress-dependent degradation of the heat shock promoter-specific sigma(32) subunit of RNA polymerase by the AAA protease, FtsH. Previous studies implicated the C termini of protein substrates, including sigma(32), as degradation signals for AAA proteases. We investigated the role of the C terminus of sigma(32) in FtsH-dependent...
