Lon proteins are therefore an hexameric chambered [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protease protease] complex.

The six Lon monomers are forming three pairs of legs owned by the N-terminal domain of the protein. This structure is emerging of the protein as a trimer of dimers. | The six Lon monomers are forming three pairs of legs owned by the N-terminal domain of the protein.

Like many proteins, Lon is a '''flexible''' peptide which has different '''three-dimensional conformations'''. The protein can therefore pass from one conformation to another by hydrolysis of [https://biologydictionary.net/atp/ ATP]. | Like many proteins, Lon is a '''flexible''' peptide which has different '''three-dimensional conformations'''.

This protein has a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteolysis '''proteolytic'''] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaperone_(protein) '''chaperone''']-like activity, it cannot unfold aggregated proteins, but can participate in the assembling of some complexes). These two enzymatic activities are separated on two polypeptide chains forming a complex or two separate domains on the same polypeptide chain. | This protein has a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteolysis '''proteolytic'''] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaperone_(protein) '''chaperone''']-like activity, it cannot unfold aggregated proteins, but can participate in the assembling of some complexes).

The Lon protein has three main distinct domains: the first, the '''N-terminal''' domain, is specialised in '''substrate binding''' and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligomer '''oligomerization''']. The second, called the '''AAA+ domain''' (or A domain) corresponds to the fixation and hydrolysis site of the [https://biologydictionary.net/atp/ATP ATP]. Finally, the third domain located at the '''C-terminal''' is an active serine site leading to '''substrate degradation'''. This is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteolysis '''proteolytic'''] domain, called domain P. | The Lon protein has three main distinct domains: the first, the '''N-terminal''' domain, is specialised in '''substrate binding''' and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligomer '''oligomerization'''].
