The function of ClpX chaperone in bacteria
 Kýr, Jan ; Balíková Novotná, Gabriela (advisor) ; Šiková, Michaela (referee)
Intracellular proteolysis is an essential regulatory process that affects cellular physiology. Since proteolysis destroys proteins irreversibly, this process must be strictly controlled. The AAA+ proteins are the key factors in regulated proteolysis in bacteria. These proteins consist of two functional domains, the AAA+ chaperone domain and the protease domain. One particular group of these AAA+ protein is the Clp protein family. Functional domains of the Clp family are formed by seperate proteins. The hexameric unfoldase ClpX is a member of this protein family. This unfoldase can interact with the highly conserved ClpP protease to form a ClpXP proteolytic complex. This proteolytic complex utilizes the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to unfold and translocate the specifically tagged substrate into the ClpP degradation chamber. Substrate recognition is mediated by the binding of ClpX to short unstructured sequences called degradation tags. ClpX recognizes several degradation tags, but the most important one is recognition of the ssrA degradation tag, which is the output of the tmRNA ribosome rescue system. Although ClpX interacts with ClpP, it affects a variety of cellular processes such as the expression of virulence factors or the adaptation to stress factors, ClpX can work independently of...

Impact of downregulation of gene expression of the peptidase subunit ClpP of the mitochondrial protease ClpXP on structure and function of mitochondria in human cells
 Kolařík, Daniel ; Stibůrek, Lukáš (advisor) ; Pecina, Petr (referee)
Mitochondria are some of the most complex organelles of eukaryotic cell. They have their own genome and transcriptional apparatus and maintain several key cellular functions. A substantial part of cellular energetic metabolism happens in the mitochondria, as well as formation of iron-sulfur complexes, synthesis of several key molecules and they are also the essential organelles for the apoptotic pathway. In order to maintain the quality of proteins in their oxidative environment, mitochondria have developed a complex system of proteases that reaches all the mitochondrial compartments that degrade damaged proteins and thus promote mitochondrial turnover. The aim of this work was to characterise function of ClpP subunit of ClpXP matrix protease, which role was not yet extensively investigated in human cells. Therefore, we used RNA-interference to silence expression of ClpP in HEK 293 cells and then we performed rescue experiment during which we reintroduced ClpP in cells. Our results show that the ClpP subunit does not actively participate in apoptotic pathway, nevertheless it is essential for correct assembly of all the respiratory complexes as well as the quality of mitochondria itself. We have also shown that the system of mitochondrial proteases is highly functional and that a lack of ClpP...
