The small protein MntS evolved from a signal peptide and acquired a novel function regulating manganese homeostasis in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2023-06-03
Abstract excerpt
Small proteins (< 50 amino acids) are emerging as ubiquitous and important regulators in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans, where they commonly bind to and regulate larger proteins during stress responses. However, fundamental aspects of small proteins, such as their molecular mechanism of action, downregulation after they are no longer needed, and their evolutionary provenance are poorly understood.
