Mitochondrial ClpP is a serine protease located in the mitochondrial matrix. This protease participates in mitochondrial protein quality control by degrading misfolded or damaged proteins, thus maintaining normal metabolic function. Mitochondrial ClpP is a stable heptamer ring with peptidase activity that forms a multimeric complex with the ATP-dependent unfoldase ClpX (ClpXP) leading to proteolytic activity. Emerging evidence demonstrates that ClpXP is over-expressed in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors and is necessary for the viability of a subset of tumors. In addition, both inhibition and hyperactivation of ClpXP leads to impaired respiratory chain activity and causes cell death in cancer cells. Therefore, targeting mitochondrial ClpXP could be a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of malignancy. Here, we review the structure and function of mitochondrial ClpXP as well as strategies to target this enzyme complex as a novel therapeutic approach for malignancy.
