AAA (ATPasesAssociated with diverse cellularActivities) proteins (more commonly referred to as "triple-A ATPases") are a large group of protein family sharing a common conserved module of approximately 230 amino acid residues. This is a large, functionally diverse protein family belonging to the AAA+ protein superfamily of ring-shaped P-loopNTPases, which exert their activity through the energy-dependent remodeling or translocation of macromolecules.
