Turned on for degradation: ATPase-independent degradation by ClpP [PDF]
Clp is a barrel-shaped hetero-oligomeric ATP-dependent protease comprising a hexameric ATPase (ClpX or ClpA) that unfolds protein substrates and translocates them into the central chamber of the tetradecameric proteolytic component (ClpP) where they are degraded processively to short peptides. Chamber access is controlled by the N-terminal 20 residues (

Control of substrate gating and translocation into ClpP by channel residues and ClpX binding [PDF]
ClpP is a self-compartmentalized protease, which has very limited degradation activity unless it associates with ClpX to form ClpXP or with ClpA to form ClpAP.

Complementation studies with human ClpP in Bacillus subtilis
ATP-dependent intracellular proteolysis is essential for all living organisms. ClpP, the proteolytic subunit of the ATP-dependent Clp proteases, shares 56% protein identity between B. subtilis and man. The aim of this study was to verify, whether human ClpP (HClpP) is able to substitute the bacterial pendant, BClpP, irrespectively of the huge ...

DNA Checkpoint and Repair Factors Are Nuclear Sensors for Intracellular Organelle Stresses-Inflammations and Cancers Can Have High Genomic Risks. [PDF]
Under inflammatory conditions, inflammatory cells release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) which cause DNA damage. If not appropriately repaired, DNA damage leads to gene mutations and genomic instability.
