A site-1 protease (S1P) that cleaves the peptide bond between 'Val-148' and 'Ser-149' in RseA. Part of a regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) cascade. When heat shock or other environmental stresses disrupt protein folding in the periplasm, DegS senses the accumulation of unassembled outer membrane porins (OMP) and then initiates RseA (anti sigma-E factor) degradation by cleaving its periplasmic domain, making it a substrate for subsequent cleavage by RseP. This cascade ultimately leads to the sigma-E-driven expression of a variety of factors dealing with folding stress in the periplasm and OMP assembly. Required for basal and stress-induced degradation of RseA.

Belongs to the peptidase S1C family.
