Function

DegP acts as a chaperone at low temperatures but switches to a peptidase (heat shock protein) at higher temperatures. Degrades transiently denatured and unfolded or misfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions.

Protein Biology

Function

DegP acts as a chaperone at low temperatures but switches to a peptidase (heat shock protein) at higher temperatures (PubMed:10319814). Degrades transiently denatured and unfolded or misfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions (PubMed:16303867). DegP is efficient with Val-Xaa and Ile-Xaa peptide bonds, suggesting a preference for beta-branched side chain amino acids (PubMed:8830688). Only unfolded proteins devoid of disulfide bonds appear capable of being cleaved, thereby preventing non-specific proteolysis of folded proteins (PubMed:8830688). Its proteolytic activity is essential for the survival of cells at elevated temperatures (PubMed:7557477). It can degrade IciA, Ada, casein, globin and PapA. DegP shares specificity with DegQ (PubMed:8830688). DegP is also involved in the biogenesis of partially folded outer-membrane proteins (OMP)

Subcellular Location

Cell inner membrane (Peripheral membrane protein)

Subunit

DegP can reversibly switch between different oligomeric forms that represent inactive (6-mer) and active (12- and 24-mer) protease states. Substrate binding triggers the conversion of the resting DegP trimer and hexamer into catalytically active 12- and 24-mers. The conversion of 6-mer (DegP6) into 12-mer (DegP12) or 24-mer (DegP24) is crucial in regulating protease activity
