FtsH degradation of 31 point mutants of Anabaena apoflavodoxin is inversely proportional to their conformational stabilities. FtsH degrades the apo form of Anabaena flavodoxin, but it is unable to hydrolyze the holo form, activities with fully and partly unfolded substrate protein, overview
FtsH degradation of 31 point mutants of Anabaena apoflavodoxin from Anabaena PCC 7119 is inversely proportional to their conformational stabilities. FtsH degrades the apo form of Anabaena flavodoxin, but it is unable to hydrolyze the holo form
several RpoH residues critical for degradation are located in the highly conserved region 2.1. The double mutation A131E/K134V significantly stabilizes RpoH against degradation by the FtsH protease, while the single-point mutations at these positions only show a slight effect on RpoH stability. A minimal RpoH variant composed of residues L37-G147, including region 2.1 and C, is a sufficient FtsH substrate. Region 2.1 and region C might serve as interaction surfaces for FtsH-mediated degradation
fully unfolded states of proteins are the general substrates of FtsH, FtsH substrates can be either tagged proteins or proteins of low stability, substrate recognition and substrate specificity, overview
the six AAA domains bind and translocate proteins that are targeted for destruction in an ATP-dependent manner into the interior of the molecule, where the proteolytic sites are located and where substrate proteins are degraded in a processive manner
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

purified recombinant His6-tagged, 74 kDa dimers from Escherichia coli expressed in strain Bl21, inhibits the proteolysis of lambdaCII by FtsH, i.e. HflB, both in vitro and in vivo, mechanism, overview. Each HflC molecules interacts with another HflC molecule attached to the juxtaposed HflB

dependent on, the C-terminus comprise the cytoplasmic ATPase and protease domain. The ATPase domain contains the Walker A/B motifs and the second region of homology responsible for the binding and hydrolysis of ATP
the hexameric FtsH protease is anchored to the inner membrane by two transmembrane helices per monomer such that both termini protrude into the cytoplasm
FtsH has both chaperone and protease activities, and it is a crucial element in protein quality control, involving a number of substrates and processes, including the degradation of unneeded and damaged membrane proteins as well as soluble signaling factors
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
