Genetics of proteolysis in Escherichia coli*.

Over the last ten years it has become increasingly apparent that turnover of particular proteins, under specific conditions, can play as central a role as the transcriptional and translational regulatory mechanisms. This review summarizes our current knowledge of this particular role of proteases responsible for the initial cleavages in most of these interesting degradative processes
