Proteolysis and modulation of the activity of the cell division inhibitor SulA in Escherichia coli lon mutants.

Abstract excerpt

Intracellular accumulation of the inducible cell division inhibitor SulA is modulated by proteases that ensure its degradation, namely, the Lon protease and another ATP-dependent protease(s). Lon- cells are UV sensitive because SulA is stable. We asked whether these ATP-dependent proteases are mo...
