Abstract excerpt
IraP is a small protein that interferes with the delivery of sigma(S) (RpoS) to the ClpXP protease by blocking the action of RssB, an adaptor protein for sigma(S) degradation. IraP was previously shown to mediate stabilization of sigma(S) during phosphate starvation. Here, we show that iraP is transcribed in response to phosphate starvation; this response is mediated by ppGpp. The iraP promoter is positively...
