PFAM accession number:PF10431
Interpro abstract (IPR019489):

Most Clp ATPases form complexes with peptidase subunits and are involved in protein degradation, though some, such as ClpB, do not associate with peptidases and are involved in protein disaggregation [ (PUBMED:16879409) ]. This entry represents the C-terminal domain of Clp ATPases, often referred to as the D2-small domain, which forms a mixed alpha-beta structure. Compared with the adjacent AAA D1-small domain ( IPR003959 ) it lacks the long coiled-coil insertion, and instead of helix C4 contains a beta-strand (e3) that is part of a three stranded beta-pleated sheet. In Thermophilus the whole protein forms a hexamer with the D1-small and D2-small domains located on the outside of the hexamer, with the long coiled-coil being exposed on the surface. The D2-small domain is essential for oligomerisation, forming a tight interface with the D2-large domain of a neighbouring subunit, thereby providing enough binding energy to stabilise the functional assembly [ (PUBMED:14567920) ].

This is a PFAM domain. For full annotation and more information, please see the PFAM entry ClpB_D2-small
