Abstract excerpt
Two membrane proteases, FtsH and HtpX, are jointly essential for Escherichia coli cell viability, presumably through their abilities to degrade abnormal membrane proteins. To search for additional cellular factors involved in membrane protein quality control, we isolated multicopy suppressors that alleviated the growth defect of the ftsH/htpX dual disruption mutant. One of them was ybbK, which is renamed qmcA,...
