UniProt functional annotation for P0ABH9

UniProt code: P0ABH9.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: ATP-dependent specificity component of the ClpAP protease. It directs the protease to specific substrates. It has unfoldase activity. The primary function of the ClpA-ClpP complex appears to be the degradation of unfolded or abnormal proteins.
 
Subunit: Component of the ClpAP complex composed of six ClpA subunits assembled into a hexameric ring in the presence of ATP, and fourteen ClpP subunits arranged in two heptameric rings. Binds to ClpS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12235156, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12426582}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family. {ECO:0000305}.
