Interactions between a subset of substrate side chains and AAA+ motor pore loops determine grip during protein unfolding

Most AAA+ remodeling motors denature proteins by pulling on the peptide termini of folded substrates, but it is not well-understood how motors produce grip when resisting a folded domain. Here, at single amino-acid resolution, we identify the determinants of grip by measuring how substrate tail sequ...
