title: Proteolysis: Adaptor, adaptor, catch me a catch.
abstract: The ClpXP protease of bacteria can degrade a wide variety of proteins while maintaining remarkable substrate selectivity. New work in Escherichia coli implicates adaptor proteins in enhancing substrate selectivity and regulating the flow of substrates to cellular proteases.
