Deciphering the message in protein sequences: tolerance to amino acid substitutions

JU Bowie, JF Reidhaar-Olson, WA Lim, RT Sauer - Science, 1990 - science.org
An amino acid sequence encodes a message that determines the shape and function of a
protein. This message is highly degenerate in that many different sequences can code for …

[PDF][PDF] Proteomic discovery of cellular substrates of the ClpXP protease reveals five classes of ClpX-recognition signals

JM Flynn, SB Neher, YI Kim, RT Sauer, TA Baker - Molecular cell, 2003 - cell.com
ClpXP is a protease involved in DNA damage repair, stationary-phase gene expression, and
