Crystal structure of Bacillus subtilis Lon N-terminal domain
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 20600124
Function
[LON1_BACSU] ATP-dependent serine protease that mediates the selective degradation of mutant and abnormal proteins as well as certain short-lived regulatory proteins. Required for cellular homeostasis and for survival from DNA damage and developmental changes induced by stress. Degrades polypeptides processively to yield small peptide fragments that are 5 to 10 amino acids long. Binds to DNA in a double-stranded, site-specific manner (By similarity). Has been implicated in preventing sigma(G) activity under non-sporulation conditions.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01973]
