Interestingly, although the Bae system is a distinct pathway, it acts synergistically with the Cpx system to upregulate spy transcription.

The authors show that OMP-like C-terminal sequences bind the PDZ domain in DegS and activate its protease domain, resulting in RseA degradation.

Crystal structures of three states of DegS show how this protease interacts with the activating C-terminal peptide of outer membrane proteins via its PDZ domain and undergoes a conformational change that leads to the activation of its protease domain.
