Abstract:Extracytoplasmic Function σ factors that are stress inducible are often sequestered in 10 an inactive complex with a membrane-associated anti-σ factor. M. tuberculosis membrane-11 associated anti-σ factors have a small stable RNA gene A-like degron for targeted proteolysis. 12 Interaction between the unfoldase, ClpX, and the substrate with an accessible degron initiates 13 energy-dependent proteolysis. Four anti-σ factors with a mutation in the degron provided a set 14 of natural substrates to evaluate the inf… Show more
