ATP-dependent Clp protease ATP-binding subunit clpX-like, mitochondrial (CLPX)

ATP-dependent specificity part of the Clp protease complex. Targets specific substrates for degradation by the Clp complex (PubMed:11923310, PubMed:22710082).

Can perform chaperone functions in the absence of CLPP. Enhances the DNA-binding action of TFAM and is necessary for maintaining a typical mitochondrial nucleoid structure (PubMed:22841477).
