Abstract excerpt
Measurements of overall protein degradation rates in wild-type and clpP mutant Bacillus subtilis cells revealed that stress- or starvation-induced bulk protein turnover depends virtually exclusively on the ClpP peptidase. ClpP is also essential for intracellular protein quality control, and in its absence newly synthesized proteins were highly prone to aggregation even at 37 degrees C. Proteomic comparisons...
