Cryo-EM structure of substrate-free E. coli Lon protease provides insights into the dynamics of Lon machinery

Energy-dependent Lon proteases play a key role in cellular regulation by degrading short-lived regulatory proteins and misfolded proteins in the cell. The structure of the catalytically inactive S679A mutant of Escherichia coli LonA protease (EcLon) has been determined by cryo-EM at the resolution o...
