VAT (valosine containing protein-like ATPase from Thermoplasma acidophilum), an archaeal member of the AAA-family (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) that possesses foldase as well as unfoldase-activity, forms homo-hexameric rings like its eukaryotic homologues p97 and CDC48. The VAT-monomer exhibits the tripartite domain architecture typical for type II AAA-ATPases: N-D1-D2, whereby N is the substrate binding N-terminal domain preceding domains D1 and D2, both containing AAA-modules. Recent 3-D reconstructions of VAT and p97 as obtained by electron microscopy suffer from weakly represented N-domains, probably a consequence of their flexible linkage to the hexameric core. Here we used electron cryo-microscopy and 3-D reconstruction of single particles in order to generate a 3-D model of VAT at 2.3 nm resolution. The hexameric core of the VAT-complex (diameter 13.2 nm, height 8.4 nm) encloses a central cavity and the substrate-binding N-domains are clearly arranged in the upper periphery. Comparison with the p97 3-D reconstruction and the recently determined crystal structure of p97-N-D1 suggests a tail-to-tail arrangement of D1 and D2 in VAT.

The ATPase p97 in complex with p47 participates in Golgi cisternae rebuilding after mitosis. In a Golgi-liposome assay, the complex triggered a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-promoted fusion. Here we show for the first time that fusion between mitotic Golgi membranes induced by adding cytosol or purified p97/p47 is modulated by PE present in Golgi membranes. Using model membranes, we demonstrate a PE-dependent recruitment of p97/p47 to membranes, causing dramatic conformational rearrangements and favoring protein-lipid interactions. Previously buried hydrophobic sites become exposed in a controlled manner, which leads to the penetration of (a) domain(s) of the complex into lipid bilayers, facilitated by a PE-dependent increase in headgroup spacing. In contrast, when facing phosphatidylcholine (PC) the complex clusters extensively. This implies that in the presence of PC protein-protein interactions rather than fusion-promoting protein-lipid interactions occur. Importantly, PE-mediated changes in secondary and tertiary structures are exclusively observed when p97 is complexed with p47, which is a prerequisite for membrane fusion. We therefore propose that at physiological conditions PE-induced conformational changes in p97/p47 are relevant in triggering this activity.

Abnormal protein accumulation and cell death with cytoplasmic vacuoles are hallmarks of several neurodegenerative disorders. We previously identified p97/valosin-containing protein (VCP), an AAA ATPase with two conserved ATPase domains (D1 and D2), as an interacting partner of the Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) protein with expanded polyglutamines that causes Machado-Joseph disease. To reveal its pathophysiological roles in neuronal cells, we focused on its ATPase activity. We constructed and characterized PC12 cells expressing wild-type p97/VCP and p97(K524A), a D2 domain mutant. The expression level, localization, and complex formation of both proteins were indistinguishable, but the ATPase activity of p97(K524A) was much lower than that of the wild type. p97(K524A) induced cytoplasmic vacuoles that stained with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) marker, and accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins in the nuclear and membrane but not cytoplasmic fractions was observed, together with the elevation of ER stress markers. These results show that p97/VCP is essential for degrading membrane-associated ubiquitinated proteins and that profound deficits in its ATPase activity severely affect ER quality control, leading to abnormal ER expansion and cell death. Excessive accumulation of misfolded proteins may inactivate p97/VCP in several neurodegenerative disorders, eventually leading to the neurodegenerations.

The multiple functions of the p97/Cdc48p ATPase can be explained largely by adaptors that link its activity to different cellular pathways, but how these adaptors recognize different substrates is unclear. Here we present evidence that the mammalian adaptors, p47 and Ufd1-Npl4, both bind ubiquitin conjugates directly and so link p97 to ubiquitylated substrates. In the case of Ufd1-Npl4, which is involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation and nuclear envelope reassembly, binding to ubiquitin is mediated through a putative zinc finger in Npl4. This novel domain (NZF) is conserved in metazoa and is both present and functional in other proteins. In the case of p47, which is involved in the reassembly of the ER, the nuclear envelope and the Golgi apparatus, binding is mediated by a UBA domain. Unlike Ufd1-Npl4, it binds ubiquitin only when complexed with p97, and binds mono- rather than polyubiquitin conjugates. The UBA domain is required for the function of p47 in mitotic Golgi reassembly. Together, these data suggest that ubiquitin recognition is a common feature of p97-mediated reactions.

p97 (also called VCP), a member of the AAA ATPase family, is involved in several cellular processes, including membrane fusion and extraction of proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum for cytoplasmic degradation. We have studied the conformational changes that p97 undergoes during the ATPase cycle by cryo-EM and single-particle analysis. Three-dimensional maps show that the two AAA domains, D1 and D2, as well as the N-domains, experience conformational changes during ATP binding, ATP hydrolysis, P(i) release and ADP release. The N-domain is flexible in most nucleotide states except after ATP hydrolysis. The rings formed by D1 and D2 rotate with respect to each other, and the size of their axial openings fluctuates. Taken together, our results depict the movements that this and possibly other AAA ATPases can undergo during an ATPase cycle.

The 97-kDa valosin-containing protein (p97-VCP) plays a role in a wide variety of cellular activities, many of which are regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome (Ub-Pr)-mediated degradation pathway. We previously demonstrated that VCP binds to multi-ubiquitin chains and may act as a molecular chaperone that targets the ubiquitinated substrates to the proteasome for degradation. In this report, we show that although the ubiquitin chain-binding activity, carried out by the N-terminal 200 residues (N domain), is necessary for the degradation of proteasome substrates, it is not sufficient. Using in vitro degradation assays, we demonstrated that the entire VCP molecule, consisting of the N domain and two ATPase domains D1 and D2, is required for mediating the Ub-Pr degradation. The ATPase activity of VCP requires Mg(2+), and is stimulated by high temperature. Under optimal conditions, VCP hydrolyzes ATP with a K(m) of approximately 0.33 mm and a V(max) of approximately 0.52 nmol P(i) min(-1) microg(-1). At a physiological temperature, mutation in D2 significantly inhibits the ATPase activity, while that in D1 has little effect. Interestingly, mutations in D1, but not D2, abolish the heat-stimulated ATPase activity. Thus, we provide the first demonstration that the ATPase activity of VCP is required for mediating the Ub-Pr degradation, that D2 accounts for the major ATPase activity, and that D1 contributes to the heat-induced activity.

The 97-kDa valosin-containing protein (p97-VCP or VCP), a hexameric AAA ATPase, plays an important role in diverse cell activities, including ubiquitin-proteasome mediated protein degradation. In this report, we studied dissociation-reassembly kinetics to analyze the structure-function relationship in VCP. Urea-dissociated VCP can reassemble by itself, but addition of ATP, ADP, or ATP-gamma S accelerates the reassembly. Mutation in the ATP-binding site of D1, but not D2, domain abolishes the ATP acceleration effect and further delays the reassembly. Using hybrid hexamers of the wild type and ATP-binding site mutant, we show that hexameric structure and proper communication among the subunits are required for the ATPase activity and ubiquitin-proteasome mediated degradation. Thus, ATP-binding site in D1 plays a major role in VCP hexamerization, of which proper inter-subunit interaction is essential for the activities.

p97, a Mg-ATPase belonging to the AAA (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) super family of proteins, has been proposed to function in two distinct cellular pathways, namely homotypic membrane fusion and ubiquitin protein degradation by utilizing differing adaptor complexes. We present the cryo-electron microscopy three-dimensional reconstruction of endogenous p97 in an AMP-PNP bound state at 24 A resolution. It reveals clear nucleotide-dependent differences when compared to our previously published "p97-ADP" reconstruction, including a striking rearrangement of N domains and a positional change of the two ATPase domains, D1 and D2, with respect to each other. The docking of the X-ray structure of N-D1 domains in an ADP bound state indicates that an upward repositioning of N domain is necessary to accommodate the cryo-EM map of "p97-AMP-PNP", suggesting a change in the orientation of N domains upon nucleotide hydrolysis. Furthermore, computational analysis of the deformational motions of p97, performed on the cryo-EM density map and the atomic structure of the N-D1 domains independently, shows the existence of a negative cooperativity between the D1 and D2 rings and the flexibility of the N domains. Together these results allow the identification of functionally important features that offer molecular insights into the dynamics of the proposed p97 chaperone function.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) glycoprotein US2 increases the proteasome-mediated degradation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chain (HC), class II DR-alpha and DM-alpha proteins, and HFE, a nonclassical MHC protein. US2-initiated degradation of MHC proteins apparently involves the recruitment of cellular proteins that participate in a process known as endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation. ER-associated degradation is a normal process by which misfolded proteins are recognized and translocated into the cytoplasm for degradation by proteasomes. It has been demonstrated that truncated forms of US2, especially those lacking the cytoplasmic domain (CT), can bind MHC proteins but do not cause their degradation. To further assess how the US2 CT domain interacts with the cellular components of the ER-associated degradation pathway, we constructed chimeric proteins in which the US2 CT domain or the CT and transmembrane (TM) domains replaced those of the HCMV glycoprotein US3. US3 also binds both class I and II proteins but does not cause their degradation. Remarkably, chimeras containing the US2 CT domain caused the degradation of both MHC class I and II proteins although this degradation was less than that by wild-type US2. Therefore, the US2 CT and TM domains can confer on US3 the capacity to degrade MHC proteins. We also analyzed complexes containing MHC proteins and US2, US3, US11, or US3/US2 chimeras for the presence of cdc48/p97 ATPase, a protein that binds polyubiquitinated proteins and likely functions in the extraction of substrates from the ER membrane before the substrates meet proteasomes. p97 ATPase was present in immunoprecipitates containing US2, US11, and two chimeras that included the US2 CT domain, but not in US3 complexes. Therefore, it appears that the CT domain of US2 participates in recruiting p97 ATPase into ER-associated degradation complexes.

VCP (valosin-containing protein) or p97 is a member of the AAA family (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities family), a diverse group of proteins sharing a key conserved AAA module containing duplicate putative ATP-binding sites. Although the functions of the AAA family are related to their putative ATP-binding sites, the binding of ATP to these sites has not yet been demonstrated. In the present study, the ATP-binding site(s) of brain VCP was characterized using the photoreactive ATP analogue, BzATP [3'- O -(4-benzoylbenzoyl)ATP]. Photo-activation of Bz-[alpha-(32)P]ATP resulted in its covalent binding to a 97-kDa purified soluble or membrane-associated protein, identified by amino acid sequencing as VCP. Bz-[alpha-(32)P]ATP covalently bound to the purified homo-hexameric VCP with an apparent high affinity (74-111 nM). A molar stoichiometry of 2.23+/-0.14 BzATP bound per homo-hexameric VCP (n =6) was determined using different methods for analysis of radiolabelling and protein determination. Nucleotides inhibited the binding of Bz-[alpha-(32)P]ATP to VCP with the following efficiency: BzATP>ATP>ADP>>adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate>or=adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-methylene]triphosphate, whereas AMP, GTP and CTP were ineffective. VCP was observed to possess very low ATPase activity, with nucleotide specificity similar to that for BzATP binding. Conformational changes induced by an alternating site mechanism for ATP binding are suggested as a molecular mechanism for coupling ATP binding to the diverse activities of the AAA family.
