NCBI Protein Information
Clp ATPase
NCBI Summary
Encodes a nuclear encoded protein with similarity to Clpa regulatory subunit of CLP protease complex. The protein is localized to the chloroplast stroma. May function redundantly with TIC complex in chloroplast protein import.
UniProt Protein Name

UniProt Comments
Molecular chaperone (PubMed:15304652, PubMed:21737456, PubMed:24599948). May act as a suppressor of FtsH-mediated thylakoid membrane biogenesis and may enhance photoinhibition (PubMed:15304652). Seems not involved in chloroplastic protein import (PubMed:15304652). Probable component of the TIC-associated stromal import motor involved in inner membrane translocation (PubMed:17376159). Has an ATPase activity, but no ADPase activity (PubMed:21737456). Interacts with transit peptides with a positional preference (PubMed:21737456, PubMed:22545953). Localization of the signal sequence at the N-terminal end of a protein seems mandatory for interaction to take place (PubMed:22545953).
