ClpXP Degrades SsrA-Tagged Proteins inStreptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
ABSTRACTBacterial proteins that are abnormally truncated due to incomplete mRNA or the presence of rare codons are extended by an SsrA tag during ribosome rescue in atrans-translation process important for maintaining protein quality. InEscherichia coli, the SsrA-tagged proteins become the target of the Tsp, Lon, FtsH, ClpXP, and ClpAP proteases.

Motility is finely regulated and is crucial to bacterial processes including colonization and biofilm formation. There is a trade-off between motility and growth in bacteria with molecular mechanisms not fully understood.

Stepwise Unfolding of a β Barrel Protein by the AAA+ ClpXP Protease [PDF]
In the AAA+ ClpXP protease, ClpX uses the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to unfold proteins before translocating them into ClpP for degradation. For proteins with C-terminal ssrA tags, ClpXP pulls on the tag to initiate unfolding and subsequent degradation.

Degradation of the E. coli antitoxin MqsA by the proteolytic complex ClpXP is regulated by zinc occupancy and oxidation [PDF]
It is well established that the antitoxins of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are selectively degraded by bacterial proteases in response to stress. However, how distinct stressors result in the selective degradation of specific antitoxins remain unanswered.

Unfolding and internalization of proteins by the ATP-dependent proteases ClpXP and ClpAP [PDF]
ClpX and ClpA are molecular chaperones that interact with specific proteins and, together with ClpP, activate their ATP-dependent degradation. The chaperone activity is thought to convert proteins into an extended conformation that can access the sequestered active sites of ClpP.

ClpX is a member of the Clp/Hsp100 family of ATP-dependent chaperones and partners with ClpP, a compartmentalized protease, to degrade protein substrates bearing specific recognition signals.

The ssrA degron is commonly used in fusion proteins to control protein stability in bacteria or as an interaction module. These applications often rely on the modular activities of the ssrA tag in binding to the SspB adaptor and in engaging the ClpXP ...

ClpXP controls the expression of LEE genes in enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli [PDF]
Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) contains a 36-kb pathogenicity island termed the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE), which encodes a type III secretion system (TTSS) and virulence proteins. In this paper, we show that the O157:H7 Sakai clpPX mutant strongly impaired the secretion of virulence proteins by TTSS and repressed transcription ...

Serine and Threonine Phosphorylation Marks Proteins for Degradation By Clpxp
Abstract The mitochondrial serine protease, ClpXP, regulates the integrity of the respiratory chain by degrading damaged and/or misfolded proteins. This protease is over-expressed in a subset of AML and inhibiting or hyperactivating it kills leukemic cells and stem cells in vitro and in vivo.
