Structural insights into the Clp protein degradation machinery

open access: yesmBio
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

open access: yeseLife, 2020
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.

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

Segregation of molecules at cell division reveals native protein localization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
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 ...

Mechanochemical basis of protein degradation by a double-ring AAA+ machine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Molecular machines containing double or single AAA+ rings power energy-dependent protein degradation and other critical cellular processes, including disaggregation and remodeling of macromolecular complexes.

Mutation in human CLPX elevates levels of δ-aminolevulinate synthase and protoporphyrin IX to promote erythropoietic protoporphyria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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]

open access: yesJournal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2016
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 ...
