degron | degron binding to this site is not required for proteolysis of sul20-tagged substrates in vitro but enhances degradation by allosterically activating protease activity. Sul20 degron from the cell-division inhibitor SulA binds to the N domain of the enzyme, determination of the recognition site, overview. Allosteric role for the sul20-binding site in the N domain | Escherichia coli |
Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
E424Q | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant is unable to inactivate SulA in vivo and displays reduced rates of both basal and substrate-stimulated ATP hydrolysis. The mutant translocates and degrades CM-titinI27-sul20 and CM-titinI27-beta20 at a very slow rate. The mutation stabilizes the enzyme conformation that is active in relieving stress | Escherichia coli |
E424Q/S679A | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant is unable to inactivate SulA in vivo and displays reduced rates of both basal and substrate-stimulated ATP hydrolysis | Escherichia coli |
additional information | construction of enzyme mutants, fusion of the Lon N domain to Escherichia coli ClpXDELTAN, a AAA+ enzyme that forms stable ring hexamers. Chimera307 contained the entire Lon N domain (residues 1-307) fused to ClpXDELTAN, whereas chimera211 contains the first 211 residues of Lon, which includes a globular region of the N domain but not an extended helical region. In addition, chimera211 contains disulfide bonds between the subunits of ClpXDELTAN, which have been shown to stabilize functional covalent hexamers. The ClpXDELTAN hexamerization is required for functional interaction with ClpP | Escherichia coli |
S679A | site-directed mutagenesis, the S679A mutation destabilizes the enzyme conformation that is active in relieving stress | Escherichia coli |
Y398A | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant has basal ATP-hydrolysis activity similar to wild-type Lon, but displays substantially reduced rates of ATP hydrolysis in the presence of sul20- or beta20-tagged substrates | Escherichia coli |

physiological function | the enzyme can function as a protease or a chaperone and reveal that some of its ATP-dependent biological activities do not require translocation. Enzyme-mediated relief of proteotoxic stress and protein aggregation in vivo can also occur without degradation but is not dependent on robust ATP hydrolysis. Degron binding regulates the activities of the AAA+ Lon protease in addition to targeting proteins for degradation, degron binding regulates Lon ATPase and protease activity in addition to serving a recognition function. Inactivation of cell-division inhibitor SulA in vivo requires binding to the N domain and robust ATP hydrolysis but does not require degradation or translocation into the proteolytic chamber | Escherichia coli |
