“…6,13 The recent structural data showed that PspF, NtrC1 and ZraA organise into higher oligomeric rings, as hexamers in the cases of PspF and ZraA and as heptamer for NtrC1. 10,11 The dimensions of the oligomeric ring structures agree with that of hexamers from other AAA þ proteins, including NSF, involved in various membrane fusion events 29 and the DNA helicase in Holliday junction resolution, RuvB. 30 Functional and structural results therefore now firmly place EBP in the AAA þ family.…”
