The glutamate switch is present in all seven clades of AAA+ protein.

ABSTRACT: Recent work has identified a "glutamate switch" in six of the seven clades of AAA+ ATPases. The glutamate switch acts to transduce information regarding substrate binding to the ATPase active site. We provide biochemical evidence that a highly conserved threonine residue acts as a glutamate switch in the replicative helicase, MCM, and, thus, reveal that the glutamate switch is a feature common to all seven AAA+ clades.
