Hinge–Linker Elements in the AAA+ Protein Unfoldase ClpX Mediate Intersubunit Communication, Assembly, and Mechanical Activity

The ClpXP protease plays important roles in protein homeostasis and quality control. ClpX is a ring-shaped AAA+ homohexamer that unfolds target proteins and translocates them into the ClpP peptidase for degradation. AAA+ modules in each ClpX subunit - consisting of a large AAA+ domain, a short hinge...
