Lon is known to degrade protein substrates in a processive fashion, cutting a protein chain processively into small peptides before commencing cleavages of another protein chain. Here, we present structural and biochemical evidence demonstrating that processive substrate degradation occurs at each of the six proteolytic active sites of Lon, which forms a deep groove that partially encloses the substrate polypeptide chain by accommodating only the unprimed residues and permits processive cleavage in the C-to-N direction. We identify a universally conserved acidic residue at the exit side of the binding groove indispensable for the proteolytic activity. This noncatalytic residue likely promotes processive proteolysis by carboxyl-carboxylate interactions with cleaved intermediates. Together, these results uncover a previously unrecognized mechanism for processive substrate degradation by the Lon protease.
