Sequential degradation of RseA by the membrane-anchored DegS protease and the membrane-embedded metalloprotease YaeL is demonstrated. Thus, release of an initially membrane-sequestered transcription factor by a proteolytic event is a mechanism of gene activation, which conceptually and, even in part mechanistically (YaeL is a homolog of the mammalian S2P protease), is similar in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Proc Natl Acac Sci USA 2001, 98:1507-1512. The Agrobacterium autoinducer (AAI) is shown to be crucial for the folding of nascent TraR protein. In the absence of AAI, TraR is rapidly degraded by Clp and Lon proteases. This proteolytic control should contribute to the switch-like induction of TraR as well as to termination of the quorum-sensing response above or below a certain AAI threshold concentration.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001, 98:10584-10589. The proteolysis-promoting 11-amino-acid SsrA tag is shown to provide contiguous binding sites for the cooperating factors ClpX and SspB, whereas the binding site for ClpA overlaps with that for SspB (each site consisting of three to five amino acids only). Besides demonstrating high informational content of the short SsrA tag, these findings explain the physiological interference in protein recognition between SspB and ClpA.

J Mol Biol 2002, 324:443-455. The authors identify a bipartite signal for the temporally controlled degradation of the CtrA cell cycle regulator. One determinant for degradation is located within the first 56 residues of the CtrA receiver domain and might constitute the docking site for a targeting factor, which mediates controlled CtrA degradation by the ClpXP protease.

Science 2001, 293:705-708. Polyphosphate accumulates in cells exposed to different kinds of starvation. It is shown that polyphosphate specifically binds to Lon protease, which directs Lon towards recognition and degradation of excess ribosomal proteins. Thus, polyphosphate contributes to the mobilization of intracellular amino acid resources in starving cells.
