Fig 5. Predicted mode of action of the three HtrA-like proteases in S. lividans.

Fig 5

HtrA1 recognizes the misfolded protein outside of the cytoplasmic membrane while the complex formed by HtrB and HtrA2 remain localised in the cytoplasmic membrane. The HtrA1 PDZ domain could interact with the HtrA2 PDZ domain turning the three proteases into an active state favouring the cleavage of the misfolded extracellular overproduced proteins.
