Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli FtsH, which belongs to the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family, is an ATP-dependent and membrane-bound protease. FtsH degrades misassembled membrane proteins and a subset of cytoplasmic regulatory proteins. It has been proposed that ATP-dependent proteases unfold substrate proteins and initiate a processive proteolysis from either terminus of the substrate...
