additional information complex substrate recognition mechanisms, detailed overview. The ATPase domain forms the entrance to the central pore of FtsH with a diameter of about 15 A, a conserved Phe at position 228 of the pore is crucial for substrate binding. Substrates are pulled through the narrow gate and into the following protease domain using the energy of ATP hydrolysis for unfolding and translocation of the proteins. FtsH has only weak unfolding activity and is not able to degrade tightly folded model substrate proteins like GFP or DHFR Escherichia coli ?

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism FtsH cellular functions and regulation involving several factors, overview Escherichia coli
physiological function FtsH is the only known membrane-anchored AAA protease in bacteria that fulfills a variety of regulatory functions. FtsH-mediated regulation of LpxC levels by proteolysis crucial for cell viability. FtsH is involved in the quality control of misfolded or incorrectly inserted membrane proteins and acts either as a chaperone to help them refold or degrades them. Another important function of FtsH in Escherichia coli is control of heat shock gene expression, overview Escherichia coli
