The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel that is defective in cystic fibrosis. The most common mutation, DeltaF508 CFTR, is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum, retrotranslocated into the cytosol, and degraded by the proteasome. In a proteomics screen to identify DeltaF508 CFTR interacting proteins, we found that valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97, a Type II AAA ATPase that is a component of the retrotranslocation machinery, binds DeltaF508 CFTR, and this interaction is stabilized by proteasomal inhibition. Since wild-type (WT) CFTR has been reported to be inefficiently processed during biogenesis with as much as 75% of the newly synthesized protein degraded by the proteasome, we examined the VCP interaction in Calu-3, T-84, and 16HBE, three epithelial cell lines that endogenously express WT CFTR. The results indicate that when WT CFTR processing is efficient, as demonstrated in Calu-3 cells, VCP does not interact. Interestingly, overexpression of recombinant WT CFTR in Calu-3 cells results in inefficient processing and VCP interaction, demonstrating that CFTR processing efficiency and the VCP interaction are tightly coupled. Furthermore, induction of ER stress and activation of the unfolded protein response result in inefficient processing of WT CFTR in Calu-3 cells and promote the WT CFTR-VCP interaction. The results support the hypothesis that components of the retrotranslocation machinery such as VCP do not interact with CFTR in epithelial cells that endogenously express WT CFTR, since under normal conditions the processing of the WT protein is efficient.

The highly abundant AAA-ATPase p97 is required for diverse cellular processes, of which ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is understood best. Previously, a new role of p97 in spindle disassembly at the end of mitosis has been reported. However, we show that neither addition of dominant-negative p97 mutants nor depletion of crucial p97 adaptors impairs transition of meiotic spindles into interphase arrays of microtubules. The dominant-negative approach is validated by inhibition of ERAD, which we reconstitute for the first time in the powerful biochemical system of Xenopus egg extracts. The role of p97 in spindle disassembly during meiotic exit should therefore be reconsidered.

The AAA ATPase, p97, achieves its versatility through binding to a wide range of cofactor proteins that adapt it to different cellular functions. The heterodimer UN (comprising Ufd1 and Npl4) is an adaptor complex that recruits p97 for numerous tasks, many of which involve the ubiquitin pathway. Insights into the structural specificity of p97 for its UN adaptor are currently negligible. Here, we present the solution structure of the Npl4 "ubiquitin-like" domain (UBD), which adopts a beta-grasp fold with a 3(10) helical insert. Moreover we performed a chemical shift perturbation analysis of its binding surface with the p97 N domain. We assigned the backbone amides of the p97 N domain and probed both its reciprocal binding surface with Npl4 UBD and its interaction with the p97-binding region of Ufd1. NMR data recorded on a 400-kDa full-length UN-hexamer p97 complex reveals an identical mode of interaction. We calculated a structural model for the p97 N-Npl4 UBD complex, and a comparison with the p97-p47 adaptor complex reveals subtle differences in p97 adaptor recognition and specificity.

During endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, the multifunctional AAA ATPase p97 is part of a protein degradation complex. p97 associates via its N-terminal domain with various cofactors to recruit ubiquitinated substrates. It also interacts with alternative substrate-processing cofactors, such as Ufd2, Ufd3, and peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) in higher eukaryotes. These cofactors determine different fates of the substrates and they all bind outside of the N-terminal domain of p97. Here, we describe a cofactor-binding motif of p97 contained within the last 10 amino acid residues of the C terminus, which is both necessary and sufficient to mediate interactions of p97 with PNGase and Ufd3. The crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of PNGase in complex with this motif provides detailed insight into the interaction between p97 and its substrate-processing cofactors. Phosphorylation of p97's highly conserved penultimate tyrosine residue, which is the main phosphorylation site during T cell receptor stimulation, completely blocks binding of either PNGase or Ufd3 to p97. This observation suggests that phosphorylation of this residue modulates endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation activity by discharging substrate-processing cofactors.

p97/VCP/Cdc48p belongs to the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family and has been indicated to be required for mitotic M-phase. We previously reported that simultaneous depletion of two p97 homologues, CDC-48.1 and CDC-48.2, in Caenorhabditis elegans caused the complete embryonic lethality, and that a large number of vacuole-like structures were observed in the dead embryos. However, cellular functions of p97 in embryogenesis have not been revealed. In this study, we analyzed effects of p97 depletion on meiotic progression. Simultaneous depletion of both p97 resulted in the formation of aberrant multinucleate cells and sometimes ectopic furrows in embryos. Importantly, meiotic chromosomes were not divided at meiotic metaphase I in p97-depleted embryos, although spindle formation and disassembly occurred. Furthermore, we found that chromosome condensation was significantly reduced in p97-depleted oocytes. Taken these results altogether, we propose that C. elegans p97 plays an important role in the progression of meiosis.

Mammalian hepatic cytochromes P450 (P450s) are endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-anchored hemoproteins engaged in the metabolism of numerous xeno- and endobiotics. P450s exhibit widely ranging half-lives, utilizing both autophagic-lysosomal (ALD) and ubiquitin-dependent 26S proteasomal (UPD) degradation pathways. Although suicidally inactivated hepatic CYPs 3A and "native" CYP3A4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are degraded via UPD, the turnover of native hepatic CYPs 3A in their physiological milieu has not been elucidated. Herein, we characterize the degradation of native, dexamethasone-inducible CYPs 3A in cultured primary rat hepatocytes, using proteasomal (MG-132 and MG-262) and ALD [NH4Cl and 3-methyladenine (3-MA)] inhibitors to examine their specific degradation route. Pulse-chase with immunoprecipitation analyses revealed a basal 52% 35S-CYP3A loss over 6 h, which was stabilized by both proteasomal inhibitors. By contrast, no corresponding CYP3A stabilization was detected with either ALD inhibitor NH4Cl or 3-MA. Furthermore, MG-262-induced CYP3A stabilization was associated with its polyubiquitylation, thereby verifying that native CYPs 3A were also degraded via UPD. To identify the specific participants in this process, cellular proteins were cross-linked in situ with paraformaldehyde (PFA) in cultured hepatocytes. Immunoblotting analyses of CYP3A immunoprecipitates after PFA-cross-linking revealed the presence of p97, a cytosolic AAA ATPase instrumental in the extraction and delivery of ubiquitylated ER proteins for proteasomal degradation. Such native CYP3A-p97 interactions were greatly magnified after CYP3A suicidal inactivation (which accelerates UPD), and/or proteasomal inhibition, and were confirmed by proteomic and confocal immunofluorescence microscopic analyses. These findings clearly reveal that native CYPs 3A undergo UPD and implicate a role for p97 in this process.

Accumulation of improperly folded polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) can trigger a stress response that leads to the export of aberrant proteins into the cytosol and their ultimate proteasomal degradation. Human cytomegalovirus encodes a type I glycoprotein, US11, that binds to nascent MHC class I heavy chain molecules and causes their dislocation from the ER to the cytosol where they are degraded by the proteasome. Examination of US11-mediated class I degradation has identified a host of cellular proteins involved in the dislocation reaction, including the cytosolic AAA ATPase p97, the membrane protein Derlin-1, and the E3 ubiquitin ligase Sel1L. However, the intermediate steps occurring between the initiation of dislocation and full extraction of the misfolded substrate into the cytosol are not known. We demonstrate that US11 itself undergoes ER export and proteasomal degradation and utilize this system to define multiple steps of US11 dislocation. Treatment of US11-expressing cells with proteasome inhibitor resulted in the accumulation of glycosylated and ubiquitinated species as well as a deglycosylated US11 intermediate. Subcellular fractionation of proteasome-inhibited US11 cells demonstrated that deglycosylated intermediates continued to be integrated within the ER membrane, suggesting that the proteasome functions in the latter steps of dislocation. The data supports a model in which US11 is modified with ubiquitin, whereas the transmembrane region is integrated in the ER membrane, and deglycosylation occurs before complete dislocation.

Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are eliminated by a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD), which starts with misfolded protein recognition, followed by ubiquitination, retrotranslocation to the cytosol, deglycosylation, and targeting to the proteasome for degradation. Actions of multisubunit protein machineries in the ER membrane integrate these steps. We hypothesized that regulation of the multisubunit machinery assembly is a mechanism by which ERAD activity is regulated. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the potential regulatory role of the small p97/VCP-interacting protein (SVIP) on the formation of the ERAD machinery that includes ubiquitin ligase gp78, AAA ATPase p97/VCP, and the putative channel Derlin1. We found that SVIP is anchored to microsomal membrane via myristoylation and co-fractionated with gp78, Derlin1, p97/VCP, and calnexin to the ER. Like gp78, SVIP also physically interacts with p97/VCP and Derlin1. Overexpression of SVIP blocks unassembled CD3delta from association with gp78 and p97/VCP, which is accompanied by decreases in CD3delta ubiquitination and degradation. Silencing SVIP expression markedly enhances the formation of gp78-p97/VCP-Derlin1 complex, which correlates with increased degradation of CD3delta and misfolded Z variant of alpha-1-antitrypsin, established substrates of gp78. These results suggest that SVIP is an endogenous inhibitor of ERAD that acts through regulating the assembly of the gp78-p97/VCP-Derlin1 complex.

The elimination of misfolded proteins, known as protein quality control, is an essential cellular process. Removal of misfolded proteins from the secretory pathway depends on their recognition in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) followed by their retrograde transport into the cytosol for degradation. The AAA-ATPase Cdc48/p97 facilitates the translocation of misfolded ER-proteins into the cytosol. Cdc48/p97 can dock onto the ER-membrane via direct interaction with ER-membrane proteins and/or indirectly via its substrate-recruiting cofactors, which interact with the ubiquitylated substrates at the membrane. This tight interaction in conjunction with the conformational changes induced upon ATP hydrolysis within Cdc48/p97 is thought to provide the driving force for the translocation reaction. Subsequently, a series of protein-protein interactions between the Cdc48/p97 complex, its cofactors, and the ubiquitylated substrates is instrumental for the proper delivery of the ER substrates to the proteasome. These protein-protein interactions are governed mainly by ubiquitin-fold and ubiquitin-binding domains.

In mammalian cells, flat Golgi cisternae closely arrange together to form stacks. During mitosis, the stacked structure undergoes a continuous fragmentation process. The generated mitotic Golgi fragments are distributed into the daughter cells, where they are reassembled into new Golgi stacks. In this study, an in vitro assay has been developed using purified proteins and Golgi membranes to reconstitute the Golgi disassembly and reassembly processes. This technique provides a useful tool to delineate the mechanisms underlying the morphological change. There are two processes during Golgi disassembly: unstacking and vesiculation. Unstacking is mediated by two mitotic kinases, cdc2 and plk, which phosphorylate the Golgi stacking protein GRASP65 and thus disrupt the oligomer of this protein. Vesiculation is mediated by the COPI budding machinery ARF1 and the coatomer complex. When treated with a combination of purified kinases, ARF1 and coatomer, the Golgi membranes were completely fragmented into vesicles. After mitosis, there are also two processes in Golgi reassembly: formation of single cisternae by membrane fusion, and restacking. Cisternal membrane fusion requires two AAA ATPases, p97 and NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein), each of which functions together with specific adaptor proteins. Restacking of the newly formed Golgi cisternae requires dephosphorylation of Golgi stacking proteins by the protein phosphatase PP2A. This systematic study revealed the minimal machinery that controls the mitotic Golgi disassembly and reassembly processes.
