| UniProt functional annotation for P63284 | |||
| UniProt code: P63284. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Part of a stress-induced multi-chaperone system, it is involved in the recovery of the cell from heat-induced damage, in cooperation with DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE. Acts before DnaK, in the processing of protein aggregates. Protein binding stimulates the ATPase activity; ATP hydrolysis unfolds the denatured protein aggregates, which probably helps expose new hydrophobic binding sites on the surface of ClpB-bound aggregates, contributing to the solubilization and refolding of denatured protein aggregates by DnaK. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10982797, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12624113, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14640692}. | |
| Subunit: | Homohexamer. The oligomerization is ATP-dependent. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11061966}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8376377}. | |
| Induction: | By heat shock and other environmental stresses. | |
| Domain: | The Clp repeat (R) domain probably functions as a substrate- discriminating domain, recruiting aggregated proteins to the ClpB hexamer and/or stabilizing bound proteins. The NBD2 domain is responsible for oligomerization, whereas the NBD1 domain stabilizes the hexamer probably in an ATP-dependent manner. The movement of the coiled-coil domain is essential for ClpB ability to rescue proteins from an aggregated state, probably by pulling apart large aggregated proteins, which are bound between the coiled-coils motifs of adjacent ClpB subunits in the functional hexamer. | |
| Miscellaneous: | One peptide binds per ClpB hexamer; the binding site is formed only upon ATP-driven oligomerization. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform ClpB-3]: ClpB-3 ATPase activity is not activated by proteins, as it is in ClpB. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ClpA/ClpB family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
