Recognition, Targeting, and Hydrolysis of the λ O Replication Protein by the ClpP/ClpX Protease [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999
It has previously been established that sequences at the C termini of polypeptide substrates are critical for efficient hydrolysis by the ClpP/ClpX ATP-dependent protease. We report for the bacteriophage lambda O replication protein, however, that N-terminal sequences play the most critical role in facilitating proteolysis by ClpP/ClpX.

ONC201 and imipridones: Anti-cancer compounds with clinical efficacy

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2020
ONC201 was originally discovered as TNF-Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand (TRAIL)-inducing compound TIC10. ONC201 appears to act as a selective antagonist of the G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2), and as an allosteric agonist ...

Protein degradation by a component of the chaperonin‐linked protease ClpP

Genes to Cells
AbstractIn cells, proteins are synthesized, function, and degraded (dead). Protein synthesis (spring) is important for the life of proteins. However, how proteins die is equally important for organisms. Proteases are secreted from cells and used as nutrients to break down external proteins. Proteases degrade unwanted and harmful cellular proteins.

Comparative Analysis of Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Caltha scaposa for Identification and Phylogenetic Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of Caltha scaposa, revealing it has the shortest inverted repeat regions among examined Anemoneae taxa and identifying highly variable markers for future phylogenetic work. Phylogenomic analysis of 40 plastomes robustly resolves C.

Theranostic Advancements in Brain Cancer: Promising Approaches for Emerging Therapy

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Strategies for improving intra‐arterial administration (A) and photodynamic therapy in brain cancer (B). Improving intra‐arterial (IA) administration and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for brain cancer involves enhancing tumor targeting and breaching the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Key strategies include super selective catheterization, using osmotic agents
