title: AAA proteins.
abstract: AAA proteins have entered the molecular realm after being known primarily for their wide range of different functions. Structural studies have highlighted the organization of their constituent ATPase domains and indicate that hexamerization in combination with unfoldase activity is a common underlying feature of this ubiquitous protein family.
