Abstract excerpt
DegP is a heat-shock inducible periplasmic protease in Escherichia coli. Unlike the cytoplasmic heat shock proteins, DegP is not transcriptionally regulated by the classical heat shock regulon coordinated by sigma 32. Rather, the degP gene is transcriptionally regulated by an alternate heat shock sigma factor, sigma E. Previous studies have demonstrated a signal transduction pathway that monitors the amount of...
