Protein quality control, mediated by chaperones and ATP-dependent proteases, is essential for maintaining balanced growth and for regulating critical processes. To study these systems it is necessary to have model substrate proteins. However, most cellular proteins are stable and the few unstable proteins are usually regulatory and present in low concentrations, making them unsuitable for studies, especially in vivo. We present HTS(Delta1-6), a truncated homoserine trans-succinylase (HTS) which is unstable, can be expressed at high levels and has an enzymatic, measurable, activity. This protein can serve as a good model substrate for Escherichia coli ATP-dependent proteolysis.
