Abstract excerpt
Proteolysis is a universal strategy to rapidly adjust the amount of regulatory and metabolic proteins to cellular demand. FtsH is the only membrane-anchored and essential ATP-dependent protease in Escherichia coli. Among the known functions of FtsH are the control of the heat shock response by proteolysis of the transcription factor RpoH (σ(32)) and its essential role in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis by...
