Abstract

Regulated degradation of RpoS requires RssB and ClpXP protease. Mutations in hns increase both RpoS synthesis and stability, causing a twofold increase in synthesis and almost complete stabilization of RpoS, independent of effects on synthesis and independent of phosphorylation of RssB. This suggests that H-NS regulates an RssB inhibitor or inhibitors.
