Crystal Structure of DegS protease in complex with an activating peptideCrystal Structure of DegS protease in complex with an activating peptide
Structural highlights
FunctionDEGS_ECOLI When heat shock or other environmental stresses disrupt protein folding in the periplasm, DegS senses the accumulation of unassembled outer membrane porins (OMPs) and then initiates RseA (anti sigma-E factor) degradation by cleaving it in its periplasmic domain, making it an attractive substrate for subsequent cleavage by RseP. This cascade that ultimately leads to the sigma-E-driven expression of a variety of factors dealing with folding stress in the periplasm and OMP assembly.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
