Crystal structure of Xanthomonas oryzae ClpP
Structural highlights
FunctionCLPP_XANOR Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00444] Publication Abstract from PubMedRice bacterial leaf blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is considered a destructive plant bacterial disease. The looming crisis of antibiotic resistance necessitates the discovery of antibiotics with new modes of action. Activated caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) can degrade bacterial FtsZ proteins that are essential for cell division; thus, we hypothesized that small-molecule-induced dysregulation of XooClpP may result in degradation of XooFtsZ to treat leaf blight diseases. In this work, we have determined the crystal structures of XooClpP, and its mutant bound with ADEP4, which revealed the action modes of XooClpP assemblies and XooFtsZ degradation by dysregulated XooClpP in the presence of small-molecule activators, such as ONC212 and ADEP4. Additionally, an antibacterial assessment demonstrated that ONC212 displays excellent activity against Xoo and prevents rice bacterial leaf blight in vivo. Thus, these unique antibacterial effects of small-molecule activators of XooClpP represent a potential strategy for the development of agricultural antibiotics by targeting bacterial ClpP.
