Tunable microsecond dynamics of an allosteric switch regulate the activity of a AAA+ disaggregation machine

Large protein machines are tightly regulated through allosteric communication channels. Here authors use single-molecule FRET and demonstrate the involvement of ultrafast conformational dynamics in the allosteric regulation of ClpB, a hexameric AAA+ machine that rescues aggregated proteins.
