Recent studies, mainly in yeast, have identified various cofactors that associate with the 26S proteasome and appear to influence its function. To identify these proteins in different cells and physiological states, we developed a method to gently and rapidly isolate 26S proteasomes and associated proteins without the need for genetic modifications of the proteasome. This method is based on the affinity of this complex for the ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain of hHR23B and elution with a competing polypeptide containing a ubiquitin-interacting motif. Associated with 26S proteasomes from rat muscle were a variety of known proteasome-interacting proteins, activators, and ubiquitin conjugates. In addition, we identified over 40 proteins not previously known to associate with the 26S proteasome, some of which were tightly associated with the proteasome in a substoichiometric fashion, e.g., the deubiquitinating enzymes USP5/isopeptidase T and USP7/HAUSP and the ubiquitin ligases ARF-BP1/HUWE1 and p600/UBR4. By altering buffer conditions, we also purified by this approach complexes of the ATPase p97/VCP associated with its adaptor proteins Ufd1-Npl4, p47, SAKS1, and FAF1, all of which contain ubiquitin-binding motifs. These complexes were isolated with ubiquitin conjugates bound and were not previously known to bind to the UBL domain of hHR23B. These various UBL-interacting proteins, dubbed the UBL interactome, represent a network of proteins that function together in ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, and the UBL method offers many advantages for studies of the diversity, functions, and regulation of 26S proteasomes and p97 complexes under different conditions.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with inclusion body myopathy and Paget disease of bone is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the VCP (valosin-containing protein) gene. The disease is characterized neuropathologically by frontal and temporal lobar atrophy, neuron loss and gliosis, and ubiquitin-positive inclusions (FTLD-U), which are distinct from those seen in other sporadic and familial FTLD-U entities. The major component of the ubiquitinated inclusions of FTLD with VCP mutation is TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa). TDP-43 proteinopathy links sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sporadic FTLD-U, and most familial forms of FTLD-U. Understanding the relationship between individual gene defects and pathologic TDP-43 will facilitate the characterization of the mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration. Using cell culture models, we have investigated the role of mutant VCP in intracellular trafficking, proteasomal function, and cell death and demonstrate that mutations in the VCP gene 1) alter localization of TDP-43 between the nucleus and cytosol, 2) decrease proteasome activity, 3) induce endoplasmic reticulum stress, 4) increase markers of apoptosis, and 5) impair cell viability. These results suggest that VCP mutation-induced neurodegeneration is mediated by several mechanisms.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) glycoprotein HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in sterols biosynthesis. Mammalian HMGR is ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome when sterols accumulate in cells, representing the best example for metabolically controlled ER-associated degradation (ERAD). This regulated degradation involves the short-lived ER protein Insig-1. Here, we investigated the dislocation of these ERAD substrates to the cytosol en route to proteasomal degradation. We show that the tagged HMGR membrane region, HMG(350)-HA, the endogenous HMGR, and Insig-1-Myc, all polytopic membrane proteins, dislocate to the cytosol as intact full-length polypeptides. Dislocation of HMG(350)-HA and Insig-1-Myc requires metabolic energy and involves the AAA-ATPase p97/VCP. Sterols stimulate HMG(350)-HA and HMGR release to the cytosol concurrent with removal of their N-glycan by cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase. Sterols neither accelerate dislocation nor stimulate deglycosylation of ubiquitination-defective HMG(350)-HA((K89 + 248R)) mutant. Dislocation of HMG(350)-HA depends on Insig-1-Myc, whose dislocation and degradation are sterol independent. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments demonstrate sterol-stimulated association between HMG(350)-HA and Insig-1-Myc. Sterols do not enhance binding to Insig-1-Myc of HMG(350)-HA mutated in its sterol-sensing domain or of HMG(350)-HA((K89 + 248R)). Wild-type HMG(350)-HA and Insig-1-Myc coimmunoprecipitate from the soluble fraction only when both proteins were coexpressed in the same cell, indicating their encounter before or during dislocation, raising the possibility that they are dislocated as a tightly bound complex.

Unwanted proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are exported into the cytoplasm and degraded by the proteasome through the ER-associated protein degradation pathway (ERAD). Disturbances in ERAD are linked to ER stress, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases. However, the composition and organization of ERAD complexes in human cells is still poorly understood. In this paper, we describe a trimeric complex that we propose functions in ERAD. Knockdown of erasin, a platform for p97/VCP and ubiquilin binding, or knockdown of ubiquilin in human cells slowed degradation of two classical ERAD substrates. In Caenorhabditis elegans, ubiquilin and erasin are ER stress-response genes that are regulated by the ire-1 branch of the unfolded protein response pathway. Loss of ubiquilin or erasin resulted in activation of ER stress, increased accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins, and shortened lifespan in worms. Our results strongly support a role for this complex in ERAD and in the regulation of ER stress.

Ubiquitinated proteins can alternatively be delivered directly to the proteasome or via p97/VCP (valosin-containing protein). Whereas the proteasome degrades ubiquitinated proteins, the homohexameric ATPase p97/VCP seems to control the ubiquitination status of recruited substrates. The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is also involved in the ubiquitin/proteasome system (UPS) as exemplified by regulating the neddylation of ubiquitin E3 ligases. Here, we show that p97/VCP colocalizes and directly interacts with subunit 5 of the CSN (CSN5) in vivo and is associated with the entire CSN complex in an ATP-dependent manner. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the CSN and in particular the isopeptidase activity of its subunit CSN5 as well as the associated deubiquitinase USP15 are required for proper processing of polyubiquitinated substrates bound to p97/VCP. Moreover, we show that in addition to NEDD8, CSN5 binds to oligoubiquitin chains in vitro. Therefore, CSN and p97/VCP could form an ATP-dependent complex that resembles the 19 S proteasome regulatory particle and serves as a key mediator between ubiquitination and degradation pathways.

p97/VCP is a multifunctional AAA(+)-family ATPase that is involved in diverse cellular processes. p97/VCP directly interacts with various adaptors for activity in different biochemical contexts. Among these adaptors are p47 and Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1), which contain a common UBX domain through which they bind to the N domain of p97/VCP. In the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, p97/VCP acts as a chaperone that presents client proteins to the proteasome for degradation, while FAF1 modulates the process by interacting with ubiquitinated client proteins and also with p97/VCP. In an effort to elucidate the structural details of the interaction between p97/VCP and FAF1, the p97/VCP N domain was crystallized in complex with the FAF1 UBX domain. X-ray data were collected to 2.60 A resolution and the crystals belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 58.24, b = 72.81, c = 132.93 A. The Matthews coefficient and solvent content were estimated to be 2.39 A(3) Da(-1) and 48.4%, respectively, assuming that the asymmetric unit contained p97/VCP N domain and FAF1 molecules in a 1:1 ratio, which was subsequently confirmed by molecular-replacement calculations.

Dominant mutations in the visual pigment Rhodopsin (Rh) cause retinitis pigmentosa (RP) characterized by progressive blindness and retinal degeneration. The most common Rh mutation, Rh(P23H) forms aggregates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and impairs the proteasome; however, the mechanisms linking Rh aggregate formation to proteasome dysfunction and photoreceptor cell loss remain unclear. Using mammalian cell cultures, we provide the first evidence that misfolded Rh(P23H) is a substrate of the ERAD effector VCP, an ATP-dependent chaperone that extracts misfolded proteins from the ER and escorts them for proteasomal degradation. VCP co-localizes with misfolded Rh(P23H) in retinal cells and requires functional N-terminal and D1 ATPase domains to form a complex with Rh(P23H) aggregates. Furthermore, VCP uses its D2 ATPase activity to promote Rh(P23H) aggregate retrotranslocation and proteasomal delivery. Our results raise the possibility that modulation of VCP and ERAD activity might have potential therapeutic significance for RP.

VCP (VCP/p97) is a ubiquitously expressed member of the AAA(+)-ATPase family of chaperone-like proteins that regulates numerous cellular processes including chromatin decondensation, homotypic membrane fusion and ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation by the proteasome. Mutations in VCP cause a multisystem degenerative disease consisting of inclusion body myopathy, Paget disease of bone, and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD). Here we show that VCP is essential for autophagosome maturation. We generated cells stably expressing dual-tagged LC3 (mCherry-EGFP-LC3) which permit monitoring of autophagosome maturation. We determined that VCP deficiency by RNAi-mediated knockdown or overexpression of dominant-negative VCP results in significant accumulation of immature autophagic vesicles, some of which are abnormally large, acidified and exhibit cathepsin B activity. Furthermore, expression of disease-associated VCP mutants (R155H and A232E) also causes this autophagy defect. VCP was found to be essential to autophagosome maturation under basal conditions and in cells challenged by proteasome inhibition, but not in cells challenged by starvation, suggesting that VCP might be selectively required for autophagic degradation of ubiquitinated substrates. Indeed, a high percentage of the accumulated autophagic vesicles contain ubiquitin-positive contents, a feature that is not observed in autophagic vesicles that accumulate following starvation or treatment with Bafilomycin A. Finally, we show accumulation of numerous, large LAMP-1 and LAMP-2-positive vacuoles and accumulation of LC3-II in myoblasts derived from patients with IBMPFD. We conclude that VCP is essential for maturation of ubiquitin-containing autophagosomes and that defect in this function may contribute to IBMPFD pathogenesis.

Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1) is a multifunctional pro-apoptotic protein that is involved in Fas-mediated apoptosis, NF-kappaB signalling and the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, FAF1 binds to the N domain of p97/VCP, a molecular chaperone that acts in complex with the proteasome, through its C-terminal UBX domain and inhibits the proteasomal protein-degradation process. In an effort to elucidate the structural basis of the function of FAF1 in modulating p97/VCP activity related to proteasomal protein degradation, crystallographic analysis of the FAF1 UBX domain and the p97/VCP N domain was initiated. Following the recently reported crystallization of the FAF1 UBX domain bound to the p97/VCP N domain, the unbound FAF1 UBX domain was also crystallized for purposes of structural comparison. X-ray data were collected to 3.00 A resolution and the crystals belonged to space group F4(1)32, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 176.40 A. The Matthews coefficient and solvent content were estimated to be 3.04 A(3) Da(-1) and 59.5%, respectively, assuming that the asymmetric unit contained two molecules of the UBX domain, which was subsequently confirmed by molecular-replacement calculations.

Proteasome dysfunction has been repeatedly reported in alcoholic liver disease. Ethanol metabolism end-products affect the structure of the proteasome, and, therefore, change the proteasome interaction with its regulatory complexes 19S and PA28, as well as its interacting proteins. Chronic ethanol feeding alters the ubiquitin-proteasome activity by altering the interaction between the 19S and the 20S proteasome interaction. The degradation of oxidized and damaged proteins is thus decreased and leads to accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates, such as Mallory-Denk bodies. Ethanol also affects the immunoproteasome formation. PA28a/b interactions with the 20S proteasome are decreased in the proteasome fraction isolated from the liver of rats fed ethanol chronically, thus affecting the cellular antigen presentation and defense against pathogenic agents. Recently, it has been shown that ethanol also affects the proteasome interacting proteins (PIPs). Interaction of the proteasome with Ecm29 and with deubiquitinating enzymes Rpn11, UCH37, and Usp14 has been found to decrease. However, the two UBL-ubiquitin-associated domain (UBA) PIPs p62 and valosin-containing protein are upregulated when the proteasome is inhibited. The increase of these UBL-UBA proteins, as well as the increase in Hsp70 and Hsp25 levels, compensated for the proteasome failure and helped in the unfolding/docking of misfolded proteins. Chronic alcohol feeding to rats causes a significant inhibition of the proteasome pathway and this inhibition results from a decreases of the interaction between the 20S proteasome and the regulatory complexes, PIPs, and the ubiquitin system components.
