Abstract excerpt
The ftsH gene of Caulobacter crescentus has been isolated and identified as a component of the general stress response of this organism. In C. crescentus, ftsH expression is transiently induced after temperature upshift and in stationary phase. Consistent with this, mutants deprived of the FtsH protease are viable at normal growth conditions, but are highly sensitive to elevated temperature, increased salt...
