PROSITE documentation PDOC51903Clp repeat (R) domain profile
Molecular chaperones recognize unfolded or misfolded proteins by binding to hydrophobic surface patches not normally exposed in the native proteins. Members of the Clp/Hsp100 family of chaperones are present in eubacteria and within organelles of all eukaryotes, promoting disaggregation and disassembly of protein complexes and participating in energy-dependent protein degradation. The ClpA, ClpB, and ClpC subfamilies of the Clp/Hsp100 ATPases contain a conserved N-terminal domain of ~150 amino acids, which in turn consists of two repeats of ~75 residues. Although the Clp repeat (R) domain contains two approximate sequence repeats, it behaves as a single cooperatively folded unit. The Clp R domain is thought to provide a means for regulating the specificity of and to enlarge the substrate pool available to Clp/Hsp100 chaperone or protease complexes. These roles can be assisted through the binding of an adaptor protein. Adaptor proteins bind to the Clp R domain, modulate the target specificity of the Clp/Hsp100 complex to a particular substrate of interest, and may also regulate the activity of the complex [1,2,3,4,5,6].
The Clp R domain is monomeric and partially α helical. It is a single folding unit with pseudo 2-fold symmetry. The Clp R domain structure consists of two four-helix bundles connected by a flexible loop [2,3,4].
The profile we developed covers the entire Clp R domain.
