We have studied structure and cellular functions of an essential, membrane-bound ATP-dependent protease, FtsH in E.coli. FtsH forms oligomers, and oligomerization is essential for its activity. Site-directed mutagenesis and homology modeling revealed that the ATP-binding pocket is formed at the interface of neighboring subunits, and that invariant residues in the AAA ATPase-specific sequence, SRH, play important roles in ATP hydrolysis. These results have led us to propose an intermolecular catalysis model for the hexameric AAA ATPase. The model also suggests that unfolded substrates are threaded through the central hole of the hexameric ring of the ATPase, and that the size of the central hole is altered upon ATP hydrolysis. We have succeeded to crystallize the ATPase domain of FtsH, however X-ray diffraction data have not been sufficient to resolve the crystal structure. FtsH controls several cellular functions by degrading specific regulatory proteins such as sigma32 and LpxC.Sigma32 is the heat shock transcription factor and is degraded by FtsH.Efficient degradation of sigma32 by FtsH requires the DnaK chaperone system, which may alter sigma32 to a form competent to the FtsH action. We isolated two temperature-sensitive ftsH mutants newly, and mutations of these mutants were mapped to the C-terminal region of ftsH.Mini-F plasmids are unstably maintained in temperature-sensitive ftsH mutants at permissive temperatures for cell growth. We have also studied lysis-lysogeny decision of lambda phage and colicin tolerance in ftsH mutants. We have identified SpoVM as a substrate of B.subtilis FtsH, suggesting Ftsh's involvement in sporulation. SpoVM acts for the membrane and exerts an inhibitory effect on cell growth.

我们研究了基本膜结合ATP的蛋白酶的结构和细胞功能，在大肠杆菌中的FTSH。 FTSH形成低聚物，而低聚对于其活性至关重要。位置定向的诱变和同源性建模表明，ATP结合袋是在相邻亚基的界面形成的，并且在AAA ATPase特异性序列SRH中，不变的残基在ATP水解中起重要作用。这些结果使我们提出了六聚体AAA ATPase的分子间催化模型。该模型还表明，展开的底物是通过ATPase的六聚体环的中央孔穿过的，并且在ATP水解时，中央孔的大小会改变。我们已经成功地结晶了FTSH的ATPase结构域，但是X射线衍射数据还不足以解决晶体结构。 FTSH通过降解特定的调节蛋白（例如SigMA32和LPXC.SigMA32）来控制多种细胞功能。SigMA32是热休克转录因子，并通过FTSH降解Sigma32的效率Sigma32通过FTSH的有效降解而受到FTSH的降解。我们分离了两个对温度敏感的FTSH突变体，并将这些突变体的突变映射到FTSH的C末端区域。Mini-F质粒在允许性温度下以温度敏感的FTSH突变体在允许性温度下以用于细胞生长。我们还研究了FTSH突变体中lambda噬菌体和大肠菌素耐受性的裂解性散失决定。我们已经将SPOVM确定为B.subtilis ftsh的底物，这表明FTSH参与了孢子形成。 SPOVM可用于膜，并对细胞生长产生抑制作用。
