Abstract excerpt
ClpXP, an ATP-dependent protease, degrades hundreds of different intracellular proteins. ClpX chooses substrates by binding peptide tags, typically displayed at the N or C terminus of the protein to be degraded. Here, we identify a ClpX mutant that displays a 300-fold change in substrate specificity, resulting in decreased degradation of ssrA-tagged substrates but improved degradation of proteins with other...
