Schematic representation of ATP-powered proteolysis in plastids of plant cells. Misfolded proteins are recognized, unfolded, and translocated to the proteolytic chamber of the Clp protease complex by ClpC chaperones. The translocated proteins are degraded to oligopeptides that are exported through openings of the proteolytic chamber.
