Names and origin

Protein namesRecommended name:
    ATP-dependent protease La
    EC=3.4.21.53
Gene names
Name: lon
Synonyms: capR, deg, lopA, muc

OrganismEscherichia coli (strain K12) [Complete proteome] [HAMAP]
Taxonomic identifier83333 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineageBacteriaProteobacteriaGammaproteobacteriaEnterobacterialesEnterobacteriaceaeEscherichia

Protein attributes

Sequence length784 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Sequence processingThe displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existenceEvidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Degrades short-lived regulatory and abnormal proteins in presence of ATP. Degrades the regulatory proteins rcsA and sulA. Hydrolyzes two ATPs for each peptide bond cleaved in the protein substrate. Its overproduction specifically inhibits translation trough at least two different pathways, one of them being the yoeB-yefM toxin-antitoxin system.

Catalytic activity

Hydrolysis of proteins in presence of ATP.

Enzyme regulation

Contains an allosteric site (distinct from its active site), whose occupancy by an unfolded polypeptide leads to enzyme activation.

Subunit structure

Homotetramer.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm.

Induction

By accumulation of abnormal proteins, such as at high temperatures. Under stress conditions.

Miscellaneous

Both its proteolytic and protein-activated ATPase activities are stimulated by DNA, especially single-stranded DNA.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S16 family.

Contains 1 Lon domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA23537.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 16.
