Scope Note
An approximately 250 amino acid domain common to AAA ATPases and AAA Proteins. It consists of a highly conserved N-terminal P-Loop ATPase subdomain with an alpha-beta-alpha conformation, and a less-conserved C-terminal subdomain with an all alpha conformation. The N-terminal subdomain includes Walker A and Walker B motifs which function in ATP binding and hydrolysis.
