additional information | generation of a truncated variant lacking the PDZ domain. Variant is abundantly secreted and processed | Bacillus anthracis |
S255A | mutation of the catalytic serine residue. Mutant protein does not undergo autolysis and much more abundant in the cellular fraction and almost undetected in its secreted form | Bacillus anthracis |

physiological function | the proteolytic activity of HtrA is essential for its N-terminal autolysis and subsequent release into the extracellular milieu, while the PDZ domain is dispensable for this process. The PDZ domain appears to be dispensable for most of the functions related to stress resilience as well as involvement of HtrA in assembly of the bacterial S-layer. The proteolytic activity, but not the PDZ domain, appears to be dispensable for the role of HtrA in mediating upregulation of the extracellular protease NprA under starvation stress. In a murine model of anthrax, the HtrA PDZ domain is dispensable for manifestation of Bacillus anthracis virulence | Bacillus anthracis |
