Comparison of hypothetical 3D-structures of Arabidopsis thaliana FtsH Proteases with the aim to predict FtsH complex formation

• In Arabidopsis thaliana 12 metallo proteases of the FtsH family are located in the organellar membranes of chloroplasts and mitochondria. While it is known for the Arabidopsis FtsH proteases FtsH1, 2, 5 and 8 to form a hetero–oligomeric, hexameric complex in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and for FtsH3 and 10 in the inner membrane of mitochondria, no data are available for the remaining (low abundant) FtsH proteases . We compared the sequence identity of amino acids predicted to be relevant in complex formation of FtsH proteases in order to predict additional hetero-oligomeric FtsH complexes. Focus was set on FtsH11 and FtsH4, two subunits that might form a complex in mitochondria.
