UniProt functional annotation for P0A6H6

UniProt codes: P0A6H6, P32168.

Organism: Escherichia coli O157:H7.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
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. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00249}.
 
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:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00249}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00249}.
Induction: By heat shock. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00249}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ClpX chaperone family. HslU subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00249}.
