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.

ClpAP proteolysis does not require rotation of the ClpA unfoldase relative to ClpP
AAA+ proteases perform regulated protein degradation in all kingdoms of life and consist of a hexameric AAA+ unfoldase/translocase in complex with a self-compartmentalized peptidase.

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

Segregation of molecules at cell division reveals native protein localization [PDF]
We introduce a non-intrusive method exploiting post-division single-cell variability to validate protein localization. The results show that Clp proteases, widely reported to form biologically relevant foci, are in fact uniformly distributed inside ...

Mutation in human CLPX elevates levels of δ-aminolevulinate synthase and protoporphyrin IX to promote erythropoietic protoporphyria [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations in genes for heme biosynthetic enzymes can give rise to congenital porphyrias, eight forms of which have been described. The genetic penetrance of the porphyrias is clinically variable, underscoring the role of additional ...

α-Amino Diphenyl Phosphonates as Novel Inhibitors of Escherichia coli ClpP Protease [PDF]
Increased Gram-negative bacteria resistance to antibiotics is becoming a global problem, and new classes of antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action are required. The caseinolytic protease subunit P (ClpP) is a serine protease conserved among bacteria that is considered as an interesting drug target. ClpP function is involved in protein turnover and

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 ...
