Identification of a turnover element in region 2.1 of Escherichia coli sigma32 by a bacterial one-hybrid approach.

Abstract excerpt

Induction of the heat shock response in Escherichia coli requires the alternative sigma factor sigma32 (RpoH). The cellular concentration of sigma32 is controlled by proteolysis involving FtsH, other proteases, and the DnaKJ chaperone system. To identify individual sigma32 residues critical for degradation, we used a recently developed bacterial one-hybrid system and screened for stabilized versions of sigma32....
