Abstract excerpt
The ability of Escherichia coli rapidly to degrade abnormal proteins is inhibited by mutations affecting any of several heat shock proteins (hsps). We therefore tested whether a short-lived mutant protein might become associated with hsps as part of its degradation. At 30 degrees C, the non-secreted mutant form of alkaline phosphatase, phoA61, is relatively stable, and very little phoA61 is found associated with...
