EC 5.6.1.7 Details
EC number
5.6.1.7
Accepted name
chaperonin ATPase
Reaction
ATP + H2O + an unfolded polypeptide = ADP + phosphate + a folded polypeptide
Other name(s)
chaperonin
Systematic name
ATP phosphohydrolase (polypeptide-unfolding)
Comment
Multisubunit proteins with 2x7 (Type I, in most cells) or 2x8 (Type II, in Archaea) ATP-binding sites involved in maintaining an unfolded polypeptide structure before folding or entry into mitochondria and chloroplasts. Molecular masses of subunits ranges from 10-90 kDa. They are a subclass of molecular chaperones that are related to EC 5.6.1.5 (proteasome ATPase).
History
created 2000 as EC 3.6.4.9, transferred 2018 to EC 5.6.1.7
