Journal ArticleDOI

Sculpting the Proteome with AAA+ Proteases and Disassembly Machines

TL;DR: Exciting progress has been made in understanding how AAA(+) machines recognize specific proteins as targets and then carry out ATP-dependent dismantling of the tertiary and/or quaternary structure of these molecules during the processes of protein degradation and the disassembly of macromolecular complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of Substrate Denaturation and Translocation by the ClpXP Degradation Machine

TL;DR: In insights into the mechanism of ClpXP, Kinetic experiments reveal that multiple reaction steps require collaboration between ClpX and ClpP and that denaturation is the rate-determining step in degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ATPase SpoIIIE Transports DNA across Fused Septal Membranes during Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

TL;DR: Data from a new assay to monitor DNA transport support a model for DNA transport in which the transmembrane segments of FtsK/SpoIIIE form linked DNA-conducting channels across the two lipid bilayers of the septum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane-associated DNA Transport Machines

TL;DR: The FtsK/SpoIIIE proteins carry out the translocation of double-stranded DNA to ensure complete chromosome segregation during cell division and the transformation machine processes this internalized DNA and mediates its recombination with the resident chromosome during and after uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

SpoIIIE strips proteins off the DNA during chromosome translocation

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that RNA polymerase, transcription factors, and chromosome remodeling proteins are stripped off the DNA during translocation of the chromosome into the forespore compartment, and proposes that the translocation-stripping activity of SpoIIIE plays a key role in reprogramming developmental gene expression in theforespore.
