Abstract excerpt

We have identified a new protease in Escherichia coli, which is required for its viability under normal growth conditions. This protease is anchored in the inner membrane and the gene encoding it has been named ecfE, since it is transcribed by Esigma(E) polymerase. Multicopy expression of the ecfE gene was found to turn down expression of both Esigma(E)- and Esigma(32)-transcribed promoters. Purified EcfE...
