An envelope stress response governs long-chain fatty acid metabolism via a small RNA to maintain redox homeostasis in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2024-10-19
Abstract excerpt
Long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are a tremendous source of energy for several bacteria but are complex to use because they induce redox stress. We previously showed that LCFA degradation impedes oxidative protein folding in the Escherichia coli envelope, an issue that arises due to the insufficiency of ubiquinone, a lipid-soluble electron carrier in the electron transport chain (ETC). To maintain redox homeostasis...
