Abstract

ClpXP is a protease involved in DNA damage repair, stationary-phase gene expression, and ssrA-mediated protein quality control. To date, however, only a handful of ClpXP substrates have been identified. Using a tagged and inactive variant of ClpP, substrates of E. coli ClpXP were trapped in vivo, purified, and identified by mass spectrometry. The more than 50 trapped proteins include transcription factors, metabolic enzymes, and proteins involved in the starvation and oxidative stress responses. Analysis of the sequences of the trapped proteins revealed five recurring motifs: two located at the C terminus of proteins, and three N-terminal motifs. Deletion analysis, fusion proteins, and point mutations established that sequences from each motif class targeted proteins for degradation by ClpXP. These results represent a description of general rules governing substrate recognition by a AAA+ family ATPase and suggest strategies for regulation of protein degradation.
