Reprogramming of the Caseinolytic Protease by ADEP Antibiotics: Molecular Mechanism, Cellular Consequences, Therapeutic Potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
Rising antibiotic resistance urgently calls for the discovery and evaluation of novel antibiotic classes and unique antibiotic targets. The caseinolytic protease Clp emerged as an unprecedented target for antibiotic therapy 15 years ago when it was ...

The ClpXP protease and the ClpX unfoldase control virulence, cell division, and autolysis in Streptococcus pneumoniae

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
In all living cells, molecular chaperones and ATP-dependent proteases are essential for protein homeostasis. The ClpXP protease is a chaperone-protease complex conserved between bacteria and mitochondria.

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis ClpP1P2 Protease Interacts Asymmetrically with Its ATPase Partners ClpX and ClpC1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Clp chaperone-proteases are cylindrical complexes built from ATP-dependent chaperonerings that stack onto a proteolytic ClpP double-ring core to carry out substrate protein degradation.Interaction of the ClpP particle with the chaperone is mediated by an

Purification of the Caseinolytic protease ClpP.

open access: yes, 2022
The caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is an essential protein for bacteria and bacterial derived organelles. It belongs to the AAA+ family of proteases and has proteolytic activity, thereby, it plays an important role in protein digestion. This protease is involved in essential processes such as, cellular regulatory mechanisms, protein homeostasis ...

Mitochondrial Protease ClpP is a Target for the Anticancer Compounds ONC201 and Related Analogues [PDF]

open access: yesACS Chemical Biology, 2019
ONC201 is a first-in-class imipridone molecule currently in clinical trials for the treatment of multiple cancers. Despite enormous clinical potential, the mechanism of action is controversial. To investigate the mechanism of ONC201 and identify compounds with improved potency, we tested a series of novel ONC201 analogues (TR compounds) for effects on ...

ClpP: A distinctive family of cylindrical energy‐dependent serine proteases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2007
Processes maintaining protein homeostasis in the cell are governed by the activities of molecular chaperones that mainly assist in the folding of polypeptide chains and by a large class of proteases that regulate protein levels through degradation. ClpP proteases define a distinctive family of cylindrical, energy‐dependent serine proteases that are ...

The FGF/FGFR System in the Biology and Therapeutic Landscape of Pediatric CNS Tumors

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children, comprising a highly heterogeneous group of neoplasms defined by distinct molecular alterations and clinical behaviors. Advances in molecular genetics have underscored the relevance of specific signaling pathways in driving pediatric tumorigenesis, among ...

Targeting the Mitochondrial Protease ClpP for Anticancer Therapy

open access: yesJournal of Medicinal Chemistry
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 ...

AAA+ chaperones and acyldepsipeptides activate the ClpP protease via conformational control [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2015
The Clp protease complex degrades a multitude of substrates, which are engaged by a AAA+ chaperone such as ClpX and subsequently digested by the dynamic, barrel-shaped ClpP protease. Acyldepsipeptides (ADEPs) are natural product-derived antibiotics that activate ClpP for chaperone-independent protein digestion.

Dissection of Mitochondrial Function via Chemical Perturbation and Single‐Cell Profiling

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
We establish a systematic framework to dissect mitochondrial function at the module level by combining targeted chemical perturbations with scRNA‐seq. This approach reveals shared and module‐specific programs linking mitochondrial activity to mito‐nuclear communication, stress response, and cell cycle, highlighting the tight coupling between ...
