Protein degradation is an essential process in all organisms. This process is irreversible and energetically costly; therefore, protein destruction must be tightly controlled. While environmental stresses often lead to upregulation of proteases at the transcriptional level, little is known about posttranslational control of these critical machines. In this study, we show that in <i>Caulobacter crescentus</i> levels of the Lon protease are controlled through proteolysis. Lon turnover requires act ...[more]
