E Interaction in the Cytoplasm and the
Availability of
E·RNA Polymerase*
From the Department of Microbiology, Immunology & Molecular
Genetics, University of California at Los Angeles, California 90095
The Escherichia coli
E
regulon has evolved to sense the presence of misfolded proteins in the
bacterial envelope. Expression of periplasmic chaperones and folding
catalysts is under the control of
E RNA polymerase. The
N-terminal domain of RseA sequesters
E in the
cytoplasmic membrane, preventing its association with core RNA
polymerase. The C-terminal domain of RseA interacts with RseB, a
periplasmic protein. The relative concentration of
E:RseA:RseB is 2:5:1 and this ratio remains unaltered
upon heat shock induction of the
E regulon. Purification
from crude cellular extracts yields cytoplasmic, soluble
E RNA polymerase as well as membrane sequestered
E·RseA and
E·RseA·RseB. RseB
binding to the C-terminal domain of RseA increases the affinity of RseA
for
E by 2- to 3-fold (Kd 50-100
nM). RseB binds also to the misfolded aggregates of MalE31,
a variant of maltose binding protein that forms inclusion bodies in the
periplasm. We discuss a model whereby the RseB-RseA interaction
represents a measure for misfolded polypeptides in the bacterial
envelope, modulating the assembly of
E RNA polymerase
and the cellular heat shock response.
