Abstract excerpt
ClpA and ClpX function both as molecular chaperones and as the regulatory components of ClpAP and ClpXP proteases, respectively. ClpA and ClpX bind substrate proteins through specific recognition signals, catalyze ATP-dependent protein unfolding of the substrate, and when in complexes with ClpP translocate the unfolded polypeptide into the cavity of the ClpP peptidase for degradation. To examine the mechanism of...
