Protein homeostasis is essential for cyanobacteria to maintain proper cellular function under adverse and fluctuating conditions. The AAA+ superfamily of proteolytic complexes in cyanobacteria plays a critical role in this process, including ClpXP, which comprises a hexameric ATPase ClpX and a tetradecameric peptidase ClpP. Despite the physiological effects of ClpX on growth and photosynthesis, its potential substrates and underlying mechanisms in cyanobacteria remain unknown. In this study, we ...[more]
