UniProt functional annotation for P43773

UniProt code: P43773.

Organism: Haemophilus influenzae (strain ATCC 51907 / DSM 11121 / KW20 / Rd).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pasteurellales; Pasteurellaceae; Haemophilus.
 
Function: ATPase subunit of a proteasome-like degradation complex; this subunit has chaperone activity. The binding of ATP and its subsequent hydrolysis by HslU are essential for unfolding of protein substrates subsequently hydrolyzed by HslV. HslU recognizes the N-terminal part of its protein substrates and unfolds these before they are guided to HslV for hydrolysis.
 
Subunit: A double ring-shaped homohexamer of HslV is capped on each side by a ring-shaped HslU homohexamer. The assembly of the HslU/HslV complex is dependent on binding of ATP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11106733, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11468391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12823960}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ClpX chaperone family. HslU subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
