Abstract
An ATP-dependent protease, FtsH, digests misassembled membrane proteins in order to maintain membrane integrity and digests short-lived soluble proteins in order to control their cellular regulation. This enzyme has an N-terminal transmembrane segment and a C-terminal cytosolic region consisting of an AAA+ ATPase domain and a protease domain. Here we present two crystal structures: the protease domain and the whole cytosolic region. The cytosolic region fully retains an ATP-dependent protease activity and adopts a three-fold-symmetric hexameric structure. The protease domains displayed a six-fold symmetry, while the AAA+ domains, each containing ADP, alternate two orientations relative to the protease domain, making "open" and "closed" interdomain contacts. Apparently, ATPase is active only in the closed form, and protease operates in the open form. The protease catalytic sites are accessible only through a tunnel following from the AAA+ domain of the adjacent subunit, raising a possibility of translocation of polypeptide substrate to the protease sites through this tunnel.

Full text Abstract

Figure 3. Hexameric Ring Model of the FtsH ATPase Domain(A) The figures are viewed from the transmembrane side (left) and the protease domain side (right). From the extra segment position of the FtsH-F2 crystal structure, we found that the transmembrane helices are located on the N-terminal side of the hexagonal plate. The model possesses an outer diameter of approximately 120 Å, with a central pore of 13 Å in diameter. Note the gap between subunits, which becomes narrow in comparison with that in the crystal packing arrangement, as shown in Figure 1D. The rotation angle between subdomains in the model differs by 34° from that in the crystal. Although every subunit is represented with the same conformation in this model, the mode of the ATPase cycle, either sequential or synchronized, cannot be clarified.(B) Representation of the arginine finger in the model viewed from the transmembrane side. Arg313 is located at a position capable of interacting with the g-phosphate of AMP-PNP bound to a neighboring subunit. The SRH motif, highlighted in pink, is located on the contact surface between subunits. The a7 helix and the following loop in front of Arg313 are eliminated.(C) SRH motif in the model, viewed from the protease domain side. The motif from the AMP-PNP form is superimposed onto that from the ADP form. The Ca atom of Asn302 is colored red.(D) Mapping of the putative substrate binding regions (brown). Note that the MFVG sequence (green) faces the central pore. A closed line indicates a monomer structure, corresponding to the highlighted one in (A).(E) Electrostatic potential surfaces of the model, calculated by the program GRASP [52]. Red and blue represent regions of negative and positive potential, respectively.
