Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli RseP (formerly YaeL) is believed to function as a 'regulated intramembrane proteolysis' (RIP) protease that introduces the second cleavage into anti-sigma(E) protein RseA at a position within or close to the transmembrane segment. However, neither its enzymatic activity nor the substrate cleavage position has been established. Here, we show that RseP-dependent cleavage indeed occurs within...
