Lon protease (S16) C-terminal proteolytic domain The Lon serine proteases must hydrolyse ATP to degrade protein substrates. In Escherichia coli, these proteases are involved in turnover of intracellular proteins, including abnormal proteins following heat-shock. The active site for protease activity resides in a C-terminal domain. The Lon proteases are classified as family S16 in Merops.
