Abstract excerpt
Substrate recognition by Clp chaperones is dependent on interactions with motifs composed of specific peptide sequences. We studied the binding of short motif-bearing peptides to ClpA, the chaperone component of the ATP-dependent ClpAP protease of Escherichia coli in the presence of ATPgammaS and Mg2+ at pH 7.5. Binding was measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) using the peptide, AANDENYALAA, which...
