Comments
Comments Very processive protease; processes entire peptides without falling off. Can catalyze 10,000 cleavages per min. Degrades peptides in both directions [PUB_0029]. Cleavage site is 2-4 hydrophobic residues preceded by a charged or hydrophilic residue. Produces amino acid fragments of length 5-30 amino acids at a cost of 4 ATP due to stochastic distribution of cleavage sites [PUB_0029]. Degrades ssrA-tagged polypeptides [PUB_0821]. Also has chaperone-like activity for macromolecular complexes [PUB_0029]. Composition Function as a hexamer with Mg2+ cofactor [PUB_0029].
