Highly conserved amino acid motifs that occur in ATP-binding proteins, especially AAA ATPases. They are characterized by the pattern G-x(4)-GK-[TS]; G, K, T and S are GLYCINE; LYSINE; THREONINE; and SERINE, where x can be any amino acid. This motif binds the beta-phosphate of nucleotides.

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.
