Abstract excerpt
Bacterial stress response proteins of the high temperature requirement A (HtrA) family are serine proteases which appear to play an important role in scavenging oxidatively damaged proteins from the cell before they reach toxic levels. An isogenic htrA deletion mutant, designated RWP5, was constructed from virulent Brucella melitensis 16M via gene replacement to determine whether the B. melitensis HtrA protein...
