Unusual Structural Features of Hexameric ClpX
Central Pore of the Hexameric ClpX is Conserved, Asymmetry, Falls into two classes of subunits
How ClpX Recognizes Specific Proteins
Itself can recognize proteins with certain motifs. Adaptors enhance reactivity, sspB, Rssb.
Hexameric ClpX Unfolds and Drives Proteins Through its Aperture
Angle changes and height changes, pulling a protein through to unfold it
Interaction between ClpX and ClpP results in a powerful Protein Degradation Machinery
Interaction between ClpX and ClpP donut in a row, which domain interacts. Critical to determine ClpX role as a chaperone or a protease. How powerful
