Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1998, 95:10584-10589. The ATPase and protease domains of S. cerevisiae mitochondrial Lon can be expressed from separate plasmids, and complement in vivo to restore function to a lon mutant (which has non-functional mitochondria). Thus the organization of this protease may be functionally similar to the Clp proteases, in which ATPase and protease are in separate subunits.

Substrates for ClpAP are normally bound by ClpA and then translocated to the proteolytic ClpP subunit for degradation. When complexes that are defective in ClpP proteolytic activity, via mutation or chemical inactivation of the active site serine, are formed, an intermediate in the degradation pathway can be isolated in which the substrate (RepA) has moved from the ATPase subunit into ClpP. This process requires ATP hydrolysis.

When the lambda cl amino-terminal domain carries certain carboxy-terminal extensions, the proteins become unstable. For some of these unstable proteins, FtsH is the primary protease responsible for degradation. For proteins tagged with the 11 amino acid carboxy-terminal extension encoded by SsrA (tmRNA), FtsH participates as a secondary protease, particularly at elevated temperatures.

The SsrA RNA adds an 11 amino acid extension to the carboxyl terminus of protein fragments when the mRNA ends before the end of the open reading frame; the tagged proteins are unstable in vivo and in vitro. For model substrates carrying the cl amino-terminus and the 11 amino acid SsrA extension, ClpXP and ClpAP are the primary proteases responsible for their degradation.

RssB, a protein with homology to a response regulator, is required for the ClpXP-dependent degradation of RpoS. RssB is shown to act in a substrate-specific fashion, because it is not necessary for degradation of another ClpXP substrate, lambda O protein.

The product of the RexB protein, previously shown to inhibit the ClpAP-dependent degradation of lambda O protein, also inhibits the ClpAP-dependent degradation of MazE, a chrosomally encoded function associated with an 'addiction system'. Thus, RexB appears to affect the common ClpP subunit of these two proteases. High levels of ppGpp leads to killing by this system. The authors suggest that lambda protects lysogens from killing by certain stresses by this inhibition of 3lp-dependent proteolysis.

Mol Microbiol 1998, 27:899-914. clpP mutants of B. subtilis are defective for competence and sporulation, as well as growth at high temperature and motility. Some, but not all, of the phenotypes can be explained by high levels of MecA accumulating in the clpP mutant; mecA clpP double mutants partially suppress the clpP phenotypes.

70. Turgay K, Hahn J, Burghoorn J, Dubnau D: Competence in Bacillus subtilis is controlled by regulated proteolysis of a transcription factor. EMBO J 1998, 17:6730-6738. ComK, a key controller of competence gene expression, is controlled by interactions with MecA and ClpC; these interactions are released by ComS. ClpP can degrade ComK, only when MecA and ClpC are also present; ComS, by releasing ComK, protects ComK from degradation and is itself degraded. Because clpP mutants are unable to establish competence, degradation of some components of the system, as well as the previously noted sequestration of ComK by MecA and ClpC, must be important in initiating the regulatory cascade that turns on competence genes.

CtrA, which is known to be unstable and negatively regulates DNA replication, is stabilized in vivo by clpX or clpP mutants, consistent with the idea that degradation of CtrA by ClpXP allows the G1 to S transition via release of the CtrA-dependent DNA replication initiation block. How degradation is timed within the cell cycle remains to be determined.

The cell division protein FtsZ is subject to cell-cycle regulated transcription and degradation, and only accumulates in cells in stalked cells and not swarmer cells. FtsZ is stable when assembled into a ring at the dividing septum; proteolysis may follow disassembly of this ring and insure tight control of FtsZ availability.
