title: Evidence for structural conservation of Lon and RcsA.
abstract: DNA probes specific to the Escherichia coli genes encoding Lon protease and RcsA hybridized to specific DNA sequences in a number of different microorganisms. Antiserum to either E. coli protein Lon or RcsA reacted with specific proteins in these organisms. These results provide structural evidence of the presence of Lon and RcsA in organisms other than E. coli.
