Abstract
In prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic organelles, the ClpP protease plays an important role in proteostasis. The disruption of ClpP function has been shown to influence the infectivity and virulence of a number of bacterial pathogens. More recently, ClpP has been found to be involved in various forms of carcinomas and in Perrault syndrome, which is an inherited condition characterized by hearing loss in males and females and by ovarian abnormalities in females. Hence, targeting ClpP is a potentially viable, attractive option for the treatment of different ailments. Herein, the biochemical and cellular activities of ClpP are discussed along with the mechanisms by which ClpP affects bacterial pathogenesis and various human diseases. In addition, a comprehensive overview is given of the new classes of compounds in development that target ClpP. Many of these compounds are currently primarily aimed at treating bacterial infections. Some of these compounds inhibit ClpP activity, while others activate the protease and lead to its dysregulation. The ClpP activators are remarkable examples of small molecules that inhibit protein-protein interactions but also result in a gain of function.Keywords
