A Photocrosslinking Probe to Capture the Substrates of Caseinolytic Protease P
AbstractProtein homeostasis in bacteria is regulated by proteases such as the tetradecameric caseinolytic protease P (ClpP). Although substrates of ClpP have been successfully deciphered in genetically engineered cells, methods which directly trap processed proteins within native cells remain elusive.

Structural insights into the inactive subunit of the apicoplast-localized caseinolytic protease complex of Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
The ATP-dependent caseinolytic protease, ClpP, is highly conserved in bacteria and in the organelles of different organisms. In cyanobacteria, plant plastids, and the apicoplast of the genus Plasmodium, a noncatalytic paralog of ClpP, termed ClpR, has been identified. ClpRs are found to form heterocomplexes with ClpP resulting in a ClpRP tetradecameric

Structural Insights into Bortezomib-Induced Activation of the Caseinolytic Chaperone-Protease System in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
The caseinolytic protease (Clp) system has recently emerged as a promising anti-tuberculosis target. The anti-cancer drug bortezomib exhibits potent anti-mycobacterial activity and binds to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Clp protease complexes.

Sclerotiamide: The First Non-Peptide-Based Natural Product Activator of Bacterial Caseinolytic Protease P. [PDF]
Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) maintains essential roles in bacterial homeostasis. As such, both the inhibition and activation of this enzyme result in bactericidal activity, making ClpP a promising target for antibacterial drug development. Herein, we report the results of a fluorescence-based screen of ∼450 structurally diverse fungal and bacterial ...
