Abstract
Controlled proteolysis underlies a vast diversity of protective and regulatory processes that are of key importance to cell fate. The unique molecular architecture of the widely conserved high temperature requirement A (HTRA) proteases has evolved to mediate critical aspects of ATP-independent protein quality control. The simple combination of a classic Ser protease domain and a carboxy-terminal peptide-binding domain produces cellular factors of remarkable structural and functional plasticity that allow cells to rapidly respond to the presence of misfolded or mislocalized polypeptides.Entities:
