Abstract excerpt
The ATP-dependent Lon protease is a multi-functional enzyme that is conserved from archae to mammalian mitochondria, which not only degrades protein substrates but also binds DNA. As a starting point toward understanding Lon function in development, the mouse Lon cDNA was cloned and the encoded protein was characterized in cultured mammalian cells, in yeast and in vitro. Mouse Lon shows 87, 40 and 33% amino acid...
