Removal of disulfide from acid stress chaperone HdeA does not wholly eliminate structure or function at low pH
2021-01-18
Abstract excerpt
HdeA is an acid-stress chaperone that operates in the periplasm of various strains of pathogenic gram-negative bacteria. Its primary function is to prevent irreversible aggregation of other periplasmic proteins when the bacteria enter the acidic environment of the stomach after contaminated food is ingested; its role is therefore to help the bacteria survive long enough to enter and infect the intestines.
