Abstract

The product of the pleiotropic gene lon is a protein with protease activity and has been tentatively identified as protein H94.0 on the reference two-dimensional gel of Escherichia coli proteins. Purified Lon protease migrated with the prominent cellular protein H94.0 in E. coli K-12 strains. Peptide map patterns of Lon protease and H94.0 were identical. A mutant form of the protease had altered mobility during gel electrophoresis. An E. coli B/r strain that is known to be defective in Lon function contained no detectable H94.0 protein under normal growth conditions. Upon a shift to 42 degrees C, however, the Lon protease was induced to high levels in K-12 strains and a small amount of protein became detectable at the H94.0 location in strain B/r. Heat induction of Lon protease was dependent on the normal allele of the regulatory gene, htpR, establishing lon as a member of the high-temperature-production regulon of E. coli.
