Production of abnormal proteins during steady-state growth induces the heat shock response by stabilizing normally unstable sigma(32) (encoded by the rpoH gene) specifically required for transcription of heat shock genes. We report here that a multicopy plasmid carrying the hslVU operon encoding a novel ATP-dependent protease inhibits the heat shock response induced by production of human prourokinase (proUK) in Escherichia coli. The overproduction of HslVU (ClpQY) protease markedly reduced the stability and accumulation of proUK and thus reduced the induction of heat shock proteins. In agreement with this finding, deletion of the chromosomal hslVU genes significantly enhanced levels of proUK and sigma(32) without appreciably affecting cell growth. When the Delta hslVU deletion was combined with another protease mutation (loll, clpP, or ftsH/hflB), the resulting multiple mutations caused higher stabilization of proUK and sigma(32), enhanced synthesis of heat shock proteins, and temperature-sensitive growth. Furthermore, overproduction of HslVU protease reduced sigma(32) levels in strains that were otherwise expected to produce enhanced levels of sigma(32) due either to the absence of Lon-ClpXP proteases or to the limiting levels of FtsH protease. Thus, a set of ATP-dependent proteases appear to play synergistic roles in the negative control of the heat shock response by modulating in vivo turnover of sigma(32) as well as through degradation of abnormal proteins.
