UniProt functional annotation for Q2G036

UniProt code: Q2G036.

Organism: Staphylococcus aureus (strain NCTC 8325 / PS 47).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Staphylococcaceae; Staphylococcus.
 
Function: Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00444}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Hydrolysis of proteins to small peptides in the presence of ATP and magnesium. Alpha-casein is the usual test substrate. In the absence of ATP, only oligopeptides shorter than five residues are hydrolyzed (such as succinyl-Leu-Tyr-|-NHMec, and Leu-Tyr-Leu-|-Tyr- Trp, in which cleavage of the -Tyr-|-Leu- and -Tyr-|-Trp bonds also occurs).; EC=3.4.21.92; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00444};
Subunit: Fourteen ClpP subunits assemble into 2 heptameric rings which stack back to back to give a disk-like structure with a central cavity, resembling the structure of eukaryotic proteasomes. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00444}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00444}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S14 family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00444}.
