3.4.21.B50 dodecamer 12 * 48000-50000, dynamic light-scattering, DegQ assembles into large, cage-like dodecamers that form independently of unfolded substrate proteins. Dodecamer-formation is essential for the degradation of substrate proteins but not for the chaperone activity of DegQ 718323 3.4.21.B50 dodecamer 12 * 50000, SDS-PAGE 651624 3.4.21.B50 dodecamer substrate-containing form, 12 * 50000, SDS-PAGE 718408 3.4.21.B50 hexamer 6 * 50000, SDS-PAGE 651624 3.4.21.B50 additional information DegQLp forms predominantly trimers in the substrate-free state. In vitro, oligomerization is influenced by the pH of the protein solution and the presence of co-purified peptides binding to the PDZ1 and/or protease site. Misfolded proteins or peptides promote the assembly of protease active 12- or 24-mers the assembly of proteolytically active -, 754420 3.4.21.B50 trimer substrate-free form 718408
