Abstract excerpt
The activity of the alternate sigma-factor sigmaE of Escherichia coli is induced by several stressors that lead to the extracytoplasmic accumulation of misfolded or unfolded protein. The sigmaE regulon contains several genes, including that encoding the periplasmic protease DegP, whose products a...
