Aggregating sequences that occur in many proteins constitute weak spots of bacterial proteostasis

Aggregating sequences that occur in many proteins constitute weak spots of bacterial proteostasis

Aggregation is sequence-specific and nucleated by short aggregating protein segments (APR). Here authors use a multidisciplinary approach to show that in E.coli some frequently occurring APRs lead to protein aggregation and ultimately bacterial cell death, which could serve as antibacterial strategy...
