THE STRUCTURE OF CLPP AT 2.3 ANGSTROM RESOLUTION SUGGESTS A MODEL FOR ATP-DEPENDENT PROTEOLYSIS
Structural highlights
1tyf is a 14 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CLPP_ECOLI Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. May play the role of a master protease which is attracted to different substrates by different specificity factors such as ClpA or ClpX.
