3.4.21.B50 beta-casein + H2O - 3.4.21.B50 E-cadherin + H2O infection of epithelial cells results in a strong E-cadherin ectodomain shedding as reflected by the loss of full length E-cadherin in whole cell lysates and formation of the soluble 90 kDa extracellular domain of E-cadherin in the supernatants of infected cells. E-cadherin cleavage is an important step in bacterial pathogenesis 3.4.21.B50 additional information DegQ controls the transition from flagellum formation to biofilm formation 3.4.21.B50 additional information DegQ is responsible for differences in expression of the bacillomycin D operon (bmy) in Bacillus subtilis MO1099 and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42. Transcription of degQ in FZB42 is driven by the stronger sigmaA promoter version, whereas Bacillus subtilis MO1099, a derivative of the strain 168, carries the defective degQ promoter version 3.4.21.B50 additional information degQ is required for plipastatin synthesis 3.4.21.B50 additional information DegQ is not essential for serovar typhimurium pathogenesis but may play a small role during salmonella growth at systemic sites 3.4.21.B50 additional information the genes degQ, pps, and lpa-8 are responsible for conversion of Bacillus subtilis 168 to plipastatin production 3.4.21.B50 additional information DegQ may degrade transiently denatured proteins, unfolded proteins which accumulate in the periplasm following heat shock or other stress conditions, and/or newly secreted proteins prior to folding and disulfide bond formation 3.4.21.B50 additional information wild type DegQ exhibits a much lower proteolytic activity, and thus higher chaperone-like activity, than DegP 3.4.21.B50 OmpA protein + H2O -
