| Research Abstract |
It is the purpose of this research that ATP-dependent substrate degradation mechanism of membrane bound AAA+ protease FtsH is revealed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. During this study period, crystals of the functional cytosolic retion of FtsH were obtained in several new crystallization conditions including a few kinds of ATP analogues. These crystals difftacted to a resolution of about 3.5 Å, and now we are analyzing these data to determine new crystal structures of sFtsH bound several ATP analogues. It is expected that these structures show the detailed molecular mechanism of FtsH.
