Targeting the Mitochondrial Protease ClpP for Anticancer Therapy. [PDF]
Cancer cells depend on mitochondrial reprogramming for growth, but this raises reactive oxygen species (ROS), increasing reliance on protein quality control (PQC) repair mechanisms. The mitochondrial proteome is maintained through a robust PQC composed of chaperones and proteases, including the mitochondrial matrix protease caseinolytic protease P ...

MTU1 controls intramitochondrial protein synthesis by catalyzing the 2-thiouridine modification of mitochondrial transfer RNAs (mt-tRNAs). Missense mutations in the MTU1 gene are associated with life-threatening reversible infantile hepatic failure ...

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 ...

A sensitive soil biological indicator to changes in land-use in regions with Mediterranean climate
The demand for reliable indicators to quantify soil health has increased recently. We propose and test the use of soil microbial functional diversity as an indicator of multifunctional performance in agriculturally important areas. Agricultural fields in

Dysregulating ClpP: From Antibiotics to Anticancer? [PDF]
In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Wong et al. (2018) identify several dysregulators of a key mitochondrial protease: casein lytic protease P (ClpP). These dysregulators were found to trigger programmed cell death and may offer fresh avenues for the development of novel cancer therapeutics.

Mitofusin-2 Down-Regulation Predicts Progression of Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Identification of markers predicting disease outcome is a major clinical issue for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The present study aimed to determine the role of the mitochondrial proteins Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) and caseinolytic protease P ...

ClpP inhibitors are produced by a widespread family of bacterial gene clusters
The caseinolytic protease (ClpP) is part of a highly conserved proteolytic complex whose disruption can lead to antibacterial activity but for which few specific inhibitors have been discovered.

Metabolic Perturbations in a Bacillus subtilis clpP Mutant during Glucose Starvation
Proteolysis is essential for all living organisms to maintain the protein homeostasis and to adapt to changing environmental conditions. ClpP is the main protease in Bacillus subtilis, and forms complexes with different Clp ATPases.
