Encodes a protein that is similar to ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit / ClpC. Involved in protein import into the chloroplast. May provide ATP source that drives the TIC (Translocon at the Inner envelope membrane of Chloroplasts) translocation machinery. Association of Hsp93 with the inner envelope membrane through its N domain is important for the functions of Hsp93 in vivo.
