Targeting mycobacterial proteolytic complexes with natural products
Chem Biol.
.
Abstract
Controlled proteolysis is key to bacterial viability. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Gavrish and colleagues characterize a natural product, lassomycin, targeting the Mycobacterium tuberculosis caseinolytic (Clp) protease. Unusually, lassomycin activates ClpC1, inducing ATPase activity and decoupling it from proteolysis.
