Top. A substrate with a relatively long degron (~20 residues) is recognized and subsequent ATP-dependent power strokes then move the degron deeper into the ClpX channel in the intermediate complex, and then the engaged complex, from which unfolding occurs. Bottom. A substrate with a short degron (~5 residues) forms a recognition complex that is engaged and can therefore carry out direct ATP-dependent unfolding.
