Basic mechanism of the autonomous ClpG disaggregase.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial survival during lethal heat stress relies on the cellular ability to reactivate aggregated proteins. This activity is typically executed by the canonical 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70)-ClpB bichaperone disaggregase, which is most widespread in bacteria. The ClpB disaggregase is a member of the ATPase associated with diverse cellular activities protein family and exhibits an ATP-driven threading activity. Substrate binding and stimulation of ATP hydrolysis depends on the Hsp70 partner, which initiates the disaggregation reaction. Recently elevated heat resistance in gamma-proteobacterial species was shown to be mediated by the ATPase associated with diverse cellular activities protein ClpG as an alternative disaggregase. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ClpG functions autonomously and do
