rsiW | anti-sigma(W) factor; The anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-W (SigW). Holds SigW, its cognate ECF sigma factor, in an inactive form until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). SigW and RsiW mediate cell response to cell wall stress. RIP occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses. The membrane-spanning regulatory substrate protein is first cut periplasmically (site-1 protease, S1P, PrsW) , then within the membrane itself (site-2 protease, S2P [...] (208 aa) | ||||
rseP | Regulator of sigma-W protease RasP; Is responsible for site-2 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after a third proteolytic step catalyzed by the ClpXP protease, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Can also cleave liberated signal peptides of PenP and Mpr, probably within in the cell membrane. (422 aa) | ||||
prsW | Protease required for RsiW anti-sigma(W) degradation; Involved in the degradation of anti-sigma-W factor RsiW. Responsible for Site-1 cleavage of the RsiW anti-sigma factor. This results, after two other proteolytic steps catalyzed by the RasP and ClpXP proteases, in the release of SigW and the transcription activation of the genes under the control of the sigma-W factor. Seems to be responsible for sensing antimicrobial peptides that damage the cell membrane and other agents that cause cell envelope stress. Therefore it is a protease governing regulated intramembrane proteolysis and r [...] (218 aa) |
