论文摘要:

Background: The PDZ protease Deg2 is involved in chloroplast protein quality control through a yet unknown molecular mechanism.
Results: A novel PDZ domain with an internal ligand mediates hexamer formation and locks Deg2 into the resting state.
Conclusion: Formation of the resting hexamer may be a common strategy in a Deg protease subfamily.
Significance: We provide structural insights into the PDZ domain-mediated regulation of Deg proteases.
