Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, adaptation to extra-cytoplasmic stress relies on sigma(E) activation to induce a rescue pathway. Under non-stressed conditions, sigma(E) is sequestered by the inner membrane protein RseA. Extra-cytoplasmic stress activates DegS-dependent cleavage of RseA, rendering RseA sensitive to further degradation by the YaeL protease. YaeL contains two motifs characteristic of a family of...
