AAA proteases are a conserved class of ATP-dependent proteases that mediate the degradation of membrane proteins in bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. They combine proteolytic and chaperone-like activities and thus form a membrane-integrated quality-control system. Inactivation of AAA proteases causes severe defects in various organisms, including neurodegeneration in humans. Proteolysis by AAA proteases is modulated by another membrane-protein complex that is composed of prohibitins in eukaryotic cells and related proteins in bacteria.
