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}.
