Molecular Characterization of the ClpC AAA plus ATPase in the Biology of Chlamydia trachomatis

Stefan Pan et al.

Summary: Bacterial AAA+ unfoldases, such as ClpC, play crucial roles in bacterial physiology by recognizing and unfolding specific substrates for degradation. In this study, we investigated the function of chlamydial ClpC using in vitro and cell culture approaches. We found that ClpC exhibits ATPase and chaperone activities, and can form a functional protease with ClpP1P2 complexes. Depletion or overexpression of ClpC significantly affected chlamydial growth, highlighting its essentiality in Chlamydia. These findings suggest that ClpC could be a potential target for the development of antichlamydial agents.

Bacterial Carboxyl-Terminal Processing Proteases Play Critical Roles in the Cell Envelope and Beyond

Alexis G. Sommerfield et al.

Summary: Proteases play essential roles in various processes, and the focus of this review is on the carboxyl-terminal processing proteases (CTPs) in bacteria. CTPs have emerged as important enzymes involved in regulation, stress response, remodeling, and virulence in bacteria. The review provides an overview of the roles, structures, and regulation of CTPs in different bacterial species.

A Cell Wall Hydrolase MepH Is Negatively Regulated by Proteolysis Involving Prc and NlpI in Escherichia coli

Wook-Jong Jeon et al.

Summary: "The assembly of cell walls in Gram-negative bacteria is dependent on the activity of DD-endopeptidases, which cleave peptidoglycan crosslinks and need to be tightly regulated for maintaining cell wall integrity during expansion. This study discovered that MepS and MepM, two major DD-endopeptidases in Escherichia coli, are negatively controlled by the periplasmic protease Prc. Through genetic selections in rich medium, the authors identified suppressor mutations in prc and nlpI genes, and demonstrated that MepH is required for the suppression of growth defects caused by MepS(-) MepM(-) mutants. Furthermore, the study revealed that MepH is directly degraded by Prc and this degradation is enhanced by NlpI. Therefore, it concluded that all three major DD-endopeptidases involved in peptidoglycan assembly in E. coli are regulated by a common periplasmic protease."

Localized cardiolipin synthesis is required for the assembly of MreB during the polarized cell division of Chlamydia trachomatis

Scot P. Ouellette et al.

Summary: This study reveals the critical role of cardiolipin in the polarized cell division of Chlamydia. Accumulation of cardiolipin in specific regions of the cell membrane induces localized membrane changes, triggering the recruitment of MreB and the initiation of cell division. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms of polarized budding in Chlamydia and highlight the importance of cardiolipin in this process.

Chlamydia trachomatis TmeA Directly Activates N-WASP To Promote Actin Polymerization and Functions Synergistically with TarP during Invasion

Gabrielle Keb et al.

Summary: Chlamydia trachomatis is a significant human pathogen that invades nonprofessional phagocytes, with manipulation of the host cell cytoskeleton playing a focal role in the entry process. Genetic techniques such as FRAEM have enabled the study of bacterial factors contributing to invasion pathways. The effector proteins TmeA and TarP influence separate but synergistic pathways for Chlamydia entry, with TmeA targeting host N-WASP to promote actin polymerization and both factors highlighting the pathogen's ability to commit significant resources towards infection.
