gene geneOn this page
Summary
CLPX (caseinolytic mitochondrial matrix peptidase chaperone subunit X, HGNC:2088) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 15q22.31, encoding ATP-dependent clpX-like chaperone, mitochondrial (O76031). ATP-dependent chaperone that functions as an unfoldase.
The protein encoded by this gene is part of a protease found in mitochondria. This protease is ATP-dependent and targets specific proteins for degradation. The protease consists of two heptameric rings of the CLPP catalytic subunit sandwiched between two hexameric rings of the chaperone subunit encoded by this gene. Targeted proteins are unwound by this protein and then passed on to the CLPP subunit for degradation. Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other non-protein coding, have been found for this gene.

- Walker B mutation in human CLPX exhibits improved interaction with the model unfolded substrate casein and several putative physiological substrates in vitro. (PMID:22710082)
- human ClpX, a novel mtDNA regulator, maintains mtDNA nucleoid distribution through TFAM function as a chaperone rather than as a protease and its involvement in mtDNA segregation. (PMID:22841477)
- Optical trapping to assay single-molecule ClpXP unfolding and translocation of substrates consisting of domains with varying stabilities and sequences; find that ClpXP unfolds most domains by a single pathway, with kinetics that depend on the native fold and structural stability. (PMID:25083874)
- results illustrate that ClpX overexpression is a good and simple model to study the underlying mechanisms of the UPRmt in mammalian cells. (PMID:26142927)
- Data suggest that tumors exploit ClpXP-directed proteostasis to maintain mitochondrial bioenergetics, buffer oxidative stress, and enable metastatic competence. (PMID:27389535)
- The mutation in CLPX inactivates its ATPase activity, resulting in coassembly of mutant and WT protomers to form an enzyme with reduced activity. The presence of low-activity CLPX increases the posttranslational stability of ALAS, causing increased ALAS protein and ALA levels, leading to abnormal accumulation of PPIX. (PMID:28874591)

Function. ATP-dependent chaperone that functions as an unfoldase. As part of the ClpXP protease complex, it recognizes specific protein substrates, unfolds them using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis, and then translocates them to the proteolytic subunit (CLPP) of the ClpXP complex for degradation. Thanks to its chaperone activity, it also functions in the incorporation of the pyridoxal phosphate cofactor into 5-aminolevulinate synthase, thereby activating 5-aminolevulinate (ALA) synthesis, the first step in heme biosynthesis. This chaperone is also involved in the control of mtDNA nucleoid distribution, by regulating mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) activity.
Subunit / interactions. Homohexamer that forms a ring structure; this hexamerization requires ATP binding. Component of the ClpXP complex formed by the assembly of two CLPP heptameric rings with two CLPX hexameric rings, giving rise to a symmetrical structure with two central CLPP rings flanked by a CLPX ring at either end of the complex. Interacts with TFAM.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion matrix. Mitochondrion nucleoid.
Tissue specificity. Higher expression in skeletal muscle and heart and to a lesser extent in liver, brain, placenta, lung, kidney and pancreas.
Disease relevance. Protoporphyria, erythropoietic, 2 (EPP2) [MIM:618015] An autosomal dominant form of porphyria with onset in infancy. Porphyrias are inherited defects in the biosynthesis of heme, resulting in the accumulation and increased excretion of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors. They are classified as erythropoietic or hepatic, depending on whether the enzyme deficiency occurs in red blood cells or in the liver. Erythropoietic protoporphyria is marked by excessive protoporphyrin in erythrocytes, plasma, liver and feces, and by widely varying photosensitive skin changes ranging from a burning or pruritic sensation to erythema, edema and wheals. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the ClpX chaperone family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 192 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
