EC 3.6.4.9 Details
EC number
3.6.4.9
Accepted name
chaperonin ATPase
Reaction
ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate
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 3.6.4.8 (proteasome ATPase).
