Open conformation of Francisella tularensis ClpP at 1.9 A
Structural highlights
Function[CLPP_FRATT] Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00444] Publication Abstract from PubMedCaseinolytic proteases are large oligomeric assemblies responsible for maintaining protein homeostasis in bacteria and in so doing influence a wide range of biological processes. The functional assembly involves three chaperones together with the oligomeric caseinolytic protease catalytic subunit P (ClpP). This protease represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention in pathogenic bacteria. Here, we detail an efficient protocol for production of recombinant ClpP from Francisella tularensis, and the structural characterization of three crystal forms which grow under similar conditions. One crystal form reveals a compressed state of the ClpP tetradecamer and two forms an open state. A comparison of the two types of structure infers that differences at the enzyme active site result from a conformational change involving a highly localized disorder-order transition of a beta-strand alpha-helix combination. This transition occurs at a subunit-subunit interface. Our study may now underpin future efforts in a structure-based approach to target ClpP for inhibitor or activator development.
