    Proteolytic cascades often transduce signals between cellular compartments, but the features of these cascades that permit efficient conversion of a biological signal into a transcriptional output are not well elucidated. sigma(E) mediates an envelope stress response in Escherichia coli, and its activity is controlled by regulated degradation of RseA, a membrane-spanning anti-sigma factor. Examination of the individual steps in this protease cascade reveals that the initial, signal-sensing cleavage step is rate-limiting; that multiple ATP-dependent proteases degrade the cytoplasmic fragment of RseA and that dissociation of sigma(E) from RseA is so slow that most free sigma(E) must be generated by the active degradation of RseA. As a consequence, the degradation rate of RseA is set by the amount of inducing signal, and insulated from the "load" on and activity of the cytoplasmic proteases. Additionally, changes in RseA degradation rate are rapidly reflected in altered sigma(E) activity. These design features are attractive as general components of signal transduction pathways governed by unstable negative regulators.
