Allosteric regulation of DegS protease subunits through a shared energy landscape

The PDZ domains of the trimeric DegS protease bind unassembled outer-membrane proteins (OMPs) that accumulate in the Escherichia coli periplasm. This cooperative binding reaction triggers a proteolytic cascade that activates a transcriptional stress response. To dissect the mechanism of allosteric a...
