Mutational analysis demonstrates different functional roles for the two ATP-binding sites in ClpAP protease from Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

ClpA, the regulatory subunit of Clp protease from Escherichia coli, has two ATP-binding sites in non-homologous regions of the protein, referred to as domain I and domain II. We have mutated the invariant lysine in the ATP-binding sites of domain I and domain II and studied the enzymatic properties of the purified mutant ClpA proteins. The domain I mutant, ClpA-K220Q, was unable to form a hexamer in the presence...
