Abstract excerpt
ClpB/Hsp104 efficiently reactivates protein aggregates in cooperation with the DnaK/Hsp70 system. As a member of the AAA+ protein family (i.e. an expanded superfamily of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities), ClpB forms a ring-shaped hexamer in an ATP-dependent manner. A protomer of ClpB consists of an N-terminal domain (NTD), an AAA+ module, a middle domain and another AAA+ module. In the crystal...
