Protein degradation mediated by the ubiquitin/proteasome system is essential for the elimination of misfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to adapt to ER stress. It has been reported that the AAA ATPase p97/VCP/CDC48 is required in this pathway for protein dislocation across the ER membrane and subsequent ubiquitin dependent degradation by the 26S proteasome in the cytosol. Throughout ER-associated protein degradation, p97 cooperates with a binary Ufd1/Npl4-complex. In Caenorhabditis elegans two homologs of p97, designated CDC-48.1 and CDC-48.2, exist. Our results indicate that both p97 homologs interact with UFD-1/NPL-4 in a similar CDC-48(UFD-1/NPL-4) complex. RNAi mediated depletion of the corresponding genes induces ER stress resulting in hypersensitivity to conditions which induce increased levels of unfolded proteins in the ER lumen. Together, these data suggest an evolutionarily conserved retro-translocation machinery at the endoplasmic reticulum.

Mammalian Delta9 stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of mono-unsaturated fatty acids in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is a short-lived multispanning ER membrane protein, reported to be degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome-independent pathway. We have examined SCD1 protein degradation using cultured mammalian cells. Exogenously expressed SCD1 in CHO-K1 cells was localized to the ER and turned over with a half-life of approximately 3 hours. Unexpectedly, proteasome inhibitors increased the half-life of SCD1 to approximately 6 hours. Endogenously expressed SCD1 in adipocyte-differentiated NIH 3T3-L1 cells was also rapidly degraded in a proteasome inhibitor-sensitive manner. In the presence of proteasome inhibitors, polyubiquitylated SCD1 accumulated in the ER and interacted with AAA-ATPase p97, which is involved in ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The 66-residue N-terminal segment carrying the PEST sequence is mainly responsible for SCD1 degradation and this segment induced instability in an otherwise stable ER membrane protein. Furthermore, SCD1 was degraded constitutively irrespective of the cellular levels of unsaturated fatty acids, which strictly regulate SCD1 gene expression. These findings indicate that the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent ERAD system is also involved in constitutive SCD1 degradation.

The multifunctional AAA-ATPase p97/VCP is one of the most extensively studied members of this protein family, yet it presents the field with many perplexing questions surrounding its mechanism of substrate engagement and processing. Recent discoveries have unmasked a new purgatorial identity for this molecule in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, specifically its role in linking ubiquitylated substrates with competing ubiquitin conjugation and deconjugation machineries. Furthermore, biochemical studies surprisingly identify the C-terminal D2 ring as essential for substrate interaction, thus bringing p97 one step closer to its prokaryotic AAA protease relatives.

The AAA ATPase p97 is a ubiquitin-selective molecular machine involved in multiple cellular processes, including protein degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome system and homotypic membrane fusion. Specific p97 functions are mediated by a variety of cofactors, among them peptide N-glycanase, an enzyme that removes glycans from misfolded glycoproteins. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of the aminoterminal PUB domain of human peptide N-glycanase. We demonstrate that the PUB domain is a novel p97 binding module interacting with the D1 and/or D2 ATPase domains of p97 and identify an evolutionary conserved surface patch required for p97 binding. Furthermore, we show that the PUB and UBX domains do not bind to p97 in a mutually exclusive manner. Our results suggest that PUB domain-containing proteins constitute a widespread family of diverse p97 cofactors.

p97/VCP associated with Ufd1-Npl4 is considered a key player in ER-associated degradation (ERAD). RNA interference (RNAi) of one component of the Ufd1-Npl4 heterodimer destabilizes the VCP-Ufd1-Npl4 complex inducing proteasome-dependent degradation of the other component and releasing free VCP. In contrast to RNAi of VCP, RNAi of Ufd1 or Npl4 depleting approximately 90% of the VCP-Ufd1-Npl4 complexes does not induce unfolded protein response, indicating that the Ufd1-Npl4 dimer is not involved in the regulation of ER function by VCP. RNAi of Ufd1 or Npl4 is associated with a 2-fold increase in the levels of polyubiquitinated proteins, which form dispersed aggregates often associated with calnexin-positive structures. However, contrary to the effects of proteasome inhibition, RNAi of Ufd1 or Npl4 does not induce an accumulation of alpha-TCR and delta-CD3, two ERAD substrates overexpressed in HeLa cells. Instead, a 60-70% decrease in their levels is observed. The decrease in alpha-TCR levels is associated with a 50% decrease of its half-life. Upregulation of the putative channel forming protein, derlin-1, may contribute to the increased degradation of ERAD substrates. To explain our findings, we propose a model, where association of emerging ERAD substrates with VCP-Ufd1-Npl4 is not required for their degradation but has a regulatory role.

Separase, a large protease essential for sister chromatid separation, cleaves the cohesin subunit Scc1/Rad21 during anaphase and leads to dissociation of the link between sister chromatids. Securin, a chaperone and inhibitor of separase, is ubiquitinated by APC/cyclosome, and degraded by 26S proteasome in anaphase. Cdc48/VCP/p97, an AAA ATPase, is involved in a variety of cellular activities, many of which are implicated in the proteasome-mediated degradation. We previously reported that temperature-sensitive (ts) fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc48 mutants were suppressed by multicopy plasmid carrying the cut1(+)/separase gene and that the defective mitotic phenotypes of cut1 and cdc48 were similar. We here describe characterizations of Cdc48 mutant protein and the role of Cdc48 in sister chromatid separation. Mutant residue resides in the conserved D1 domain within the central hole of hexamer, while Cdc48 mutant protein possesses the ATPase activity. Consistent with the phenotypic similarity and the rescue of cdc48 mutant by overproduced Cut1/separase, the levels of Cut1 and also Cut2 are diminished in cdc48 mutant. We show that the stability of Cut1 during anaphase requires Cdc48. Cells lose viability during the traverse of anaphase in cdc48 mutant cells. Cdc48 may protect Cut1/separase and Cut2/securin against the instability during polyubiquitination and degradation in the metaphase-anaphase transition.

Valosin-containing protein (VCP; p97; cdc48 in yeast) is a hexameric ATPase of the AAA family (ATPases with multiple cellular activities) involved in multiple cellular functions, including degradation of proteins by the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS). We examined the consequences of the reduction of VCP levels after RNA interference (RNAi) of VCP. A new stringent method of microarray analysis demonstrated that only four transcripts were nonspecifically affected by RNAi, whereas approximately 30 transcripts were affected in response to reduced VCP levels in a sequence-independent manner. These transcripts encoded proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, apoptosis, and amino acid starvation. RNAi of VCP promoted the unfolded protein response, without eliciting a cytosolic stress response. RNAi of VCP inhibited the degradation of R-GFP (green fluorescent protein) and Ub-(G76V)-GFP, two cytoplasmic reporter proteins degraded by the UPS, and of alpha chain of the T-cell receptor, an established substrate of the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Surprisingly, RNAi of VCP had no detectable effect on the degradation of two other ERAD substrates, alpha1-antitrypsin and deltaCD3. These results indicate that VCP is required for maintenance of normal ER structure and function and mediates the degradation of some proteins via the UPS, but is dispensable for the UPS-dependent degradation of some ERAD substrates.

A complex involving Derlin-1 and p97 mediates the retrotranslocation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation of misfolded proteins in yeast and is used by certain viruses to promote host cell protein degradation (Romisch, K. (2005) Annu. Rev. Cell Dev. Biol. 21, 435-456; Lilley, B. N., and Ploegh, H. L. (2004) Nature 429, 834-840; Ye, Y., Shibata, Y., Yun, C., Ron, D., and Rapoport, T. A. (2004) Nature 429, 841-847). We asked whether the components of this pathway are involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of the mammalian integral membrane protein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a substrate for the ubiquitin-proteasome system. We report that Derlin-1 and p97 formed complexes with CFTR in human airway epithelial cells. Derlin-1 interacted with nonubiquitylated CFTR, whereas p97 associated with ubiquitylated CFTR. Exogenous expression of Derlin-1 led to its co-localization with CFTR in the ER where it reduced wild type (WT) CFTR expression and efficiently degraded the disease-associated CFTR folding mutants, DeltaF508 and G85E (>90%). Consistent with this, Derlin-1 also reduced the amount of WT or DeltaF508 CFTR appearing in detergent-in-soluble aggregates. An approximately 70% knockdown of endogenous Derlin-1 by RNA interference increased the steady-state levels of WT and DeltaF508 CFTR by 10-15-fold, reflecting its significant role in CFTR degradation. Derlin-1 mediated the degradation of N-terminal CFTR fragments corresponding to the first transmembrane domain of CFTR, but CFTR fragments that incorporated additional domains were degraded less efficiently. These findings suggest that Derlin-1 recognizes misfolded, nonubiquitylated CFTR to initiate its dislocation and degradation early in the course of CFTR biogenesis, perhaps by detecting structural instability within the first transmembrane domain.

The AAA-ATPase (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) p97 has been implicated in the degradation of misfolded and unassembled proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ERAD). To better understand its role in this process, we used a reconstituted cell-free system to define the precise contribution of p97 in degrading immature forms of the polytopic, multi-domain protein CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator). Although p97 augmented both the rate and the extent of CFTR degradation, it was not obligatorily required for ERAD. Only a 50% decrease in degradation was observed in the complete absence of p97. Moreover, p97 specifically stimulated the degradation of CFTR transmembrane (TM) domains but had no effect on isolated cytosolic domains. Consistent with this, p97-mediated extraction of intact TM domains was independent of proteolytic cleavage and influenced by TM segment hydrophobicity, indicating that the relative contribution of p97 is partially determined by substrate stability. Thus, we propose that p97 functions in ERAD as a nonessential but important ancillary component to the proteasome where it facilitates substrate presentation and increases the degradation rate and efficiency of stable (TM) domains.

Misfolded proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum undergo retrotranslocation to enter the cytosol where they are degraded by the proteasome. Retrotranslocation of many substrates requires an ATPase complex consisting of the p97 ATPase and a dimeric cofactor, Ufd1-Npl4. We report that efficient elimination of misfolded ER proteins also involves ataxin-3 (atx3), a p97-associated deubiquitinating enzyme mutated in type-3 spinocerebellar ataxia. Overexpression of an atx3 mutant defective in deubiquitination inhibits the degradation of misfolded ER proteins and triggers ER stress. Misfolded polypeptides stabilized by mutant atx3 are accumulated in part as polyubiquitinated form, suggesting an involvement of its deubiquitinating activity in ER-associated protein degradation regulation. We demonstrate that atx3 transiently associates with the ER membrane via p97 and the recently identified Derlin-VIMP complex, and its release from the membrane appears to be governed by both the p97 ATPase cycle and its own deubiquitinating activity. We present evidence that atx3 may promote p97-associated deubiquitination to facilitate the transfer of polypeptides from p97 to the proteasome.
