... N-domain, homologous to the N-domains of ClpA or ClpB, and a linkerdomain homologous to, but half the size of, the linker domain of ClpB [19]. The N-terminal region contains two 32-amino acid ... Clpfamily of proteins in survival and virulence, it is of interest to understand the mode of action of theseproteins in M. tuberculosis. In this study, we functionally characterized the ClpC1 protein ... rendered the protein more sta-ble. In ClpC1D1, the N-terminal repeat II is extendedby 40 amino acids of the linker sequence betweenrepeats I and II. In ClpC1D2, the N-terminal conservedrepeat II...
