Structural Elements Regulating AAA+ Protein Quality Control Machines
Members of the ATPases Associated with various cellular Activities (AAA+) superfamily participate in essential and diverse cellular pathways in all kingdoms of life by harnessing the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to drive their biological functions. Although most AAA+ proteins share a ring-shaped architecture, AAA+ proteins have evolved distinct structural elements that are fine-tuned to...
متن کاملAAA+ Machines of Protein Destruction in Mycobacteria
The bacterial cytosol is a complex mixture of macromolecules (proteins, DNA, and RNA), which collectively are responsible for an enormous array of cellular tasks. Proteins are central to most, if not all, of these tasks and as such their maintenance (commonly referred to as protein homeostasis or proteostasis) is vital for cell survival during normal and stressful conditions. The two key aspect...
متن کاملMeiotic Clade AAA ATPases: Protein Polymer Disassembly Machines.
Meiotic clade AAA ATPases (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities), which were initially grouped on the basis of phylogenetic classification of their AAA ATPase cassette, include four relatively well characterized family members, Vps4, spastin, katanin and fidgetin. These enzymes all function to disassemble specific polymeric protein structures, with Vps4 disassembling the ESCRT-II...
متن کاملStructural Elements Regulating Amyloidogenesis: A Cholinesterase Model System
Polymerization into amyloid fibrils is a crucial step in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative syndromes. Amyloid assembly is governed by properties of the sequence backbone and specific side-chain interactions, since fibrils from unrelated sequences possess similar structures and morphologies. Therefore, characterization of the structural determinants driving amyloid aggregation is of fundamen...
متن کاملAAA proteases and their role in the mitochondrial protein quality control
The existence of a proteolytic system which can specifically recognize and cleave proteins in mitochondria is now well established. Components of this system comprise processing peptidases, ATP-dependent peptidases, and oligopeptidases. Processing peptidases mediate limited proteolysis while ATP-dependent proteases and oligopeptidases, working sequentially, are able to degrade proteins to amino...
