Abstract excerpt
FtsH (HflB) is an ATP-dependent protease found in prokaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Here, we have identified, in the carboxy-terminal region of FtsH (HfIB), a short alpha helix predicted of forming a coiled-coil, leucine zipper, structure. This region appears to be structurally conserved. The presence of the coiled-coil motif in the Escherichia coli FtsH (HflB) was demonstrated by circular...
