Identification of Tex and the Phage Shock Protein YthA as putative FtsH substrates associated with the cell envelope stress response in Lactococcus cremoris.
As part of the Cell Envelope Stress (CES) response orchestrated by the two-component system CesSR in lactococci, the FtsH protease is expected to play a role in counteracting stress, as observed in other bacteria. However, neither its specific role nor its substrates have been identified in this genus. The primary obje...
