    Notes: Abstract. We have determined the cDNA sequence and exon/intron structure of the human CLPX gene encoding a human ortholog of the E. coli ClpX chaperone and protease subunit. The CLPX gene comprises 14 exons and encodes a 633-amino acid-long precursor polypeptide. The polypeptide contains an N-terminal putative mitochondrial transit peptide, and expression of a full-length ClpX cDNA tagged at its C-terminus (Myc-His) shows that the polypeptide is transported into mitochondria. FISH analysis localized the CLPX gene to human Chromosome (Chr) 15q22.1-22.32. This localization was refined by radiation hybrid mapping placing the CLPX gene 4.6 cR distal to D15S159. Murine ClpX cDNA was sequenced, and the mouse Clpx locus was mapped to a position between 31 and 42 cM offset from the centromere on mouse Chr 9. Experimental observations indicate the presence of a pseudogene in the mouse genome and sequence variability between mouse ClpX cDNAs from different strains. Alignment of the human and mouse ClpX amino acid sequences with ClpX sequences from other organisms shows that they display the typical modular organization of domains with one AAA+ domain common to a large group of ATPases and several other domains conserved in ClpX orthologs linked by non-conserved sequences. Notably, a C-4 zinc finger type motif is recognized in human and mouse ClpX. This motif of so far unknown function is present only in a subset of the known ClpX sequences.

    Characterization of mouse Clpp protease cDNA, gene, and protein (2000)

    Notes: Abstract. Mutations that cause accumulation or rapid degradation owing to protein misfolding are a frequent cause of inherited disease in humans. In Escherichia coli, Clpp protease is one of the components of the protein quality control system that handles misfolded proteins. In the present study, we have characterized the mouse Clpp cDNA sequence, the organization of the mouse gene, the chromosomal localization, and the tissue-specific expression pattern. Moreover, the cellular localization and processing of mouse Clpp was studied by overexpression in transfected eukaryotic cells. Our results indicate that mouse and human Clpp have similar roles, and they provide the molecular basis for establishing a Clpp knockout mouse and to study its phenotype, thereby shedding light on a possible role of Clpp in human disease.
