Abstract excerpt
ATP-Dependent protease LonA from E. coli (Ec-Lon), belonging to the superfamily of AAA+ proteins, is a key member of the protein quality control system in bacterial cells. Ec-Lon functions as homohexamer and degrades abnormal and defective polypeptides as well as a number of regulatory proteins by the processive mechanism. Ec-Lon subunit includes--the both ATPase and proteolytic components (AAA+ module and P...
