Functional narrative |
The SspB adaptor binds peptide sequences in the stress-response regulator RseA and in ssrA-tagged proteins and delivers these molecules to the ATP-dependent bacterial protease AAA+ ClpXP for degradation. Seems to act in concert with sspA in the regulation of several proteins during exponential and stationary-phase growth. The exact function of sspB is not yet known.
