Abstract excerpt
The ATP-dependent Clp protease has been well-characterized in Escherichia coli, but knowledge of its function in higher plants is limited. In bacteria, this two-component protease consists of a Ser-type endopeptidase ClpP, which relies on the ATP-dependent unfolding activity from an Hsp100 molecular chaperone to initiate protein degradation. In the chloroplasts of higher plants, multiple isoforms of the...
