The htpR locus in E. coli encodes a regulator on the heat shock response. Cells containing the htpR165 mutation are defective in the induction of synthesis of heat-shock proteins at high temperature. These cells are also defective in degrading 2 proteins that are normally unstable in htpR+ cells. The proteolytic defect is manifest at both 30.degree. C and 42.degree. C. A marker rescue technique was used to map this defect to the htpR locus. Although both proteolytic substrates are partially stabilized in lon- strains, the defect in proteolysis exhibited by the htpR165 strain does not mimic the lon- state. The htpR165 strain synthesizes Lon at the normal rate at 30.degree. C and does not show the phenotypes of mucoidy and radiation sensitivity associated with lon- strains.
