Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, transcription of the degP locus, which encodes a heat-shock-inducible periplasmic protease, is controlled by two parallel signal transduction systems that each monitor extracytoplasmic protein physiology. For example, the heat-shock-inducible sigma factor, sigmaE, controls degP transcription in response to the overproduction and folded state of various extracytoplasmic proteins. Similarly,...
