Abstract
Tuberculosis presents a major global health challenge. With the expansion of drug resistance and the spread of extremely-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, the identification of novel drug targets has become paramount. Here we show that the ATP-dependent chaperone ClpC1 is the target of cyclomarin, a potent anti-mycobacterial natural product. Our findings validate the Clp protease as a novel drug target in Mtb in both growing and hypoxic non-growing bacteria.
