==2x36 - Structure of the proteolytic domain of the Human Mitochondrial Lon protease==


'''2x36''' is a 6 chain structure with sequence from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human Human]. This domain belongs to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lon_protease_family] Lon protease family.

Mitochondrial Lon protease is an '''ATP-dependent serine protease''' involved in the selective degradation of abnormal proteins. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LONP1 LONP1] situated on chromosome 19 is the nuclear gene encoding mitochondrial Lon protein. The single species of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA mRNA] of this protein is found in the mitochondrial matrix. This protein from human tissues has a molecular mass of 100 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit) kDA].

== Function ==
The mitochondrial Lon protease is an important regulator of mitochondrial [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolism metabolism] including the maintenance and repair of mitochondrial [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA DNA], the homeostasis of mitochondria, and by regulating some regulatory proteins which have a short life or damaged proteins.
Lon protease has three main roles. It has a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteolysis proteolytic] digestion of oxidized proteins
