Regulated Degradation and Protein Quality Control in Bacteria
In bacteria, ATP dependent proteases destroy proteins during normal growth, in response to stressful conditions, and upon rapid changes in protein levels. I will present our group efforts on understanding the regulation of these proteases, how specificity is determined, and the impact of their loss during stress responses
