    Abstract

    The AAA+ (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) family is a large and functionally diverse group of enzymes that are able to induce conformational changes in a wide range of substrate proteins. The family's defining feature is a structurally conserved ATPase domain that assembles into oligomeric rings and undergoes conformational changes during cycles of nucleotide binding and hydrolysis. Here, we review the structural organization of AAA+ proteins, the conformational changes they undergo, the range of different reactions they catalyse, and the diseases associated with their dysfunction.
