Allosteric regulation of DegS protease subunits though a shared energy landscape
The PDZ domains of the trimeric DegS protease bind unassembled outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) that accumulate in the E. coli periplasm. This cooperative binding reaction triggers a proteolytic cascade that activates a transcriptional stress response. To dissect the mechanism of allosteric activation...
