Figure 8. Regulation of PodJ in C. crescentus by sequential proteolysis.

Figure 8

The bitopic inner membrane protein substrate protein PodJL is shown in green. Cleavage of PodJL by PerP, the site-1-protease, is immediately followed by cleavage by the IMMP MmpA, the site-2-protease. Later, PodJS is cleaved at the SW-to-ST transition by an unknown protease. Swarmer (SW), stalked (ST) and predivisional (PD) cells are indicated. See also Figure 3A for details.
