Selective Activation of Human Caseinolytic Protease P (ClpP).
ANGEWANDTE CHEMIE-INTERNATIONAL EDITION(2018)
摘要
Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is the proteolytic component of the ClpXP protein degradation complex. Eukaryotic ClpP was recently found to act within the mitochondria-specific unfolded protein response (UPRmt). However, its detailed function and dedicated regulation remain largely unexplored. A small molecule (D9) acts as a potent and species-selective activator of human ClpP (hClpP) by mimicking the natural chaperone ClpX. Structure-activity relationship studies highlight the importance of a halogenated benzyl motif within D9 that interacts with a unique aromatic amino acid network in hClpP. Mutational and structural studies suggest that this YYW motif tightly controls hClpP activity and regulates substrate turnover by interaction with cognate ligands. This signature motif is unique to ClpP from higher organisms and does not exist in tested bacterial homologues, allowing a species-selective analysis. Thus, D9 is a versatile tool to analyze mechanistic features of hClpP.
