Abstract excerpt
Regulated intramembrane proteolysis of membrane-embedded substrates by site-2 proteases (S2Ps) is a widespread mechanism of transmembrane signal transduction in bacteria and bacterial pathogens. We previously demonstrated that the Mycobacterium tuberculosis S2P Rip1 is required for full virulence in the mouse model of infection. Rip1 controls transcription in part through proteolysis of three transmembrane...
