Abstract excerpt
FtsH is a membrane-bound ATP-dependent protease in bacteria that is critical for degrading membrane proteins. The MgtC virulence protein from Salmonella enterica is located at the inner membrane and required for survival inside macrophages. Here we report that a single substitution at tryptophan 226 of the MgtC protein to alanine promotes the FtsH-mediated proteolysis. The Trp residue is located at the very...
