Abstract
ClpXP in Escherichia coli is a proteasome degrading protein substrates. It consists of one hexamer of ATPase (ClpX) and two heptamers of peptidase (ClpP). The ClpX binds ATP and translocates the substrate protein into the ClpP chamber by binding and hydrolysis of ATP. At single molecular level, ClpX harnesses cycles of power stroke (dwell and burst) to unfold the substrates, then releases the ADP and Pi. Based on the construction and function of ClpXP, especially the recent progress on how ClpX unfold protein substrates, in this mini-review, a currently proposed single ClpX molecular model system detected by optical tweezers, and its prospective for the elucidation of the mechanism of force generation of ClpX in its power stroke and the subunit interaction with each other, were discussed in detail.

[PMID: 25957689 DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2015.04.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 83] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2014] [Revised: 01/15/2015] [Accepted: 03/13/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
The mitochondrion maintains and regulates its proteome with chaperones primarily inherited from its bacterial endosymbiont ancestor. Among these chaperones is the AAA+ unfoldase ClpX, an important regulator of prokaryotic physiology with poorly defined function in the eukaryotic mitochondrion. We observed phenotypic similarity in S. cerevisiae genetic interaction data between mitochondrial ClpX (mtClpX) and genes contributing to heme biosynthesis, an essential mitochondrial function. Metabolomic analysis revealed that 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), the first heme precursor, is 5-fold reduced in yeast lacking mtClpX activity and that total heme is reduced by half. mtClpX directly stimulates ALA synthase in vitro by catalyzing incorporation of its cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate. This activity is conserved in mammalian homologs; additionally, mtClpX depletion impairs vertebrate erythropoiesis, which requires massive upregulation of heme biosynthesis to supply hemoglobin. mtClpX, therefore, is a widely conserved stimulator of an essential biosynthetic pathway and uses a previously unrecognized mechanism for AAA+ unfoldases.
