Abstract: Caseinolytic protease (Clp) P is widely present in various bacteria, responsible for maintaining the protein homeostasis in bacteria, degrading the misfolded or abnormally accumulated proteins recognized by the regulatory subunit adenosine triphosphate (ATP) dependent endopeptidase Clp. By regulating the expression of related genes and protein substrates, ClpP maintains the bacteria homeostasis, participates in the formation of cell walls and biofilms, as well as in the resistance of complex stress, thus affects the biological function of bacteria. This review elaborates the effects of ClpP protease on the biological behavior and homeostasis regulatory mechanism of various oral pathogenic bacteria.
