Protein degradation in bacteria: focus on the ClpP protease
Proteins in the cells are born (synthesized), work, and die (decomposed). In the life of a protein, its birth is obviously important, but how it dies is equally important in living organisms. Proteases secreted into the outside of cells are used to decompose the external proteins and the degradation products are taken as the nutrients.

Mechanism of allosteric activation in human mitochondrial ClpP protease
AbstractHuman ClpP protease contributes to mitochondrial protein quality control by degrading misfolded proteins. ClpP is overexpressed in cancers such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), where its inhibition leads to the accumulation of damaged respiratory chain subunits and cell death.

A LON-ClpP Proteolytic Axis Degrades Complex I to Extinguish ROS Production in Depolarized Mitochondria [PDF]
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in numerous neurodegenerative disorders and in Parkinson’s disease (PD) in particular. PINK1 and Parkin gene mutations are causes of autosomal recessive PD, and these respective proteins function cooperatively to ...

Subunit asymmetry and roles of conformational switching in the hexameric AAA+ ring of ClpX [PDF]
The hexameric AAA+ ring of Escherichia coli ClpX, an ATP-dependent machine for protein unfolding and translocation, functions with the ClpP peptidase to degrade target substrates.

A Note on the Dimension of the Projection Space in a Latent Factor Regression Model with Application to Business Cycle Classification [PDF]
In this paper it is shown that the number of latent factors in a multiple multivariate regression model need not be larger than the number of the response variables in order to achieve an optimal prediction.

Structural insights into the Clp protein degradation machinery
The Clp protease system is important for maintaining proteostasis in bacteria. It consists of ClpP serine proteases and an AAA+ Clp-ATPase such as ClpC1.
