The AAA+ ATPase Msp1 is a processive protein translocase with robust unfoldase activity
Significance The AAA+ ATPase Msp1 has previously been shown to function in the quality control of tail-anchored proteins at the mitochondrial and peroxisomal membranes, yet its detailed mechanisms of substrate processing have remained unknown.

The CryoEM structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosome maturation factor Rea1
The biogenesis of 60S ribosomal subunits is initiated in the nucleus where rRNAs and proteins form pre-60S particles. These pre-60S particles mature by transiently interacting with various assembly factors.

Proteasomal AAA-ATPases: Structure and function
The 26S proteasome is a chambered protease in which the majority of selective cellular protein degradation takes place. Throughout evolution, access of protein substrates to chambered proteases is restricted and depends on AAA-ATPases. Mechanical force generated through cycles of ATP binding and hydrolysis is used to unfold substrates, open the gated ...

AAA+ superfamily ATPases: common structure–diverse function [PDF]
The AAA+ superfamily of ATPases, which contain a homologous ATPase module, are found in all kingdoms of living organisms where they participate in diverse cellular processes including membrane fusion, proteolysis and DNA replication. Recent structural studies have revealed that they usually form ring‐shaped oligomers, which are crucial for their ATPase

The proteasome cap RPT5/Rpt5p subunit prevents aggregation of unfolded ricin A chain [PDF]
The plant cytotoxin ricin enters mammalian cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, undergoing retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where its catalytic A chain (RTA) is reductively separated from the holotoxin to enter the cytosol and ...

The emerging role of E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF213 as an antimicrobial host determinant
Ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) is a large E3 ubiquitin ligase with a molecular weight of 591 kDa that is associated with moyamoya disease, a rare cerebrovascular disease. It is located in the cytosol and perinuclear space.

Diverged composition and regulation of the Trypanosoma brucei origin recognition complex that mediates DNA replication initiation [PDF]
Initiation of DNA replication depends upon recognition of genomic sites, termed origins, by AAA+ ATPases. In prokaryotes a single factor binds each origin, whereas in eukaryotes this role is played by a six-protein origin recognition complex (ORC).
