Subunit asymmetry and roles of conformational switching in the hexameric AAA+ ring of ClpX

The hexameric AAA+ ring of Escherichia coli ClpX, an ATP-dependent machine for protein unfolding and translocation, functions with the ClpP peptidase to degrade target substrates. For efficient function, ClpX subunits must switch between nucleotide-loadable (L) and nucleotide-unloadable (U) conforma...
