Akiyama Y, Ito K
Abstract excerpt
FtsH (HflB) is an Escherichia coli ATP-dependent protease that degrades some integral membrane and cytoplasmic proteins. While anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane by the two transmembrane (TM) segments near the N-terminus, it has a large cytoplasmic domain. The N-terminal region also has a role in homo-oligomerization of this protein. To study the significance of the membrane integration and oligomer formation,...
