| UniProt functional annotation for A0A059VAZ3 | |||
| UniProt code: A0A059VAZ3. |
| Organism: | Meiothermus taiwanensis. | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Meiothermus. | |
| Function: | ATP-dependent serine protease that mediates the selective degradation of mutant and abnormal proteins as well as certain short- lived regulatory proteins. Required for cellular homeostasis and for survival from DNA damage and developmental changes induced by stress. Degrades polypeptides processively to yield small peptide fragments that are 5 to 10 amino acids long. Binds to DNA in a double-stranded, site-specific manner. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01973}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Hydrolysis of proteins in presence of ATP.; EC=3.4.21.53; Evidence={ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01973, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR001174, ECO:0000256|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU01122}; | |
| Subunit: | Homohexamer. Organized in a ring with a central cavity. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01973, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR001174}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004496, ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01973, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR001174}. | |
| Induction: | By heat shock. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01973}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase S16 family. {ECO:0000256|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01973, ECO:0000256|PIRNR:PIRNR001174, ECO:0000256|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU01122, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000591}. | |
