Rewiring of the FtsH regulatory network by a single nucleotide change in saeS of Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract In the Gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, the membrane-bound ATP-dependent metalloprotease FtsH plays a critical role in resistance to various stressors. However, the molecular mechanism of the FtsH functions is not known. Here, we identified core FtsH target proteins in S. aureu...
