Abstract

The unfolding of ubiquitylated proteins by the p97 / Cdc48 ATPase and its ubiquitin receptors Ufd1-Npl4 is essential in many areas of eukaryotic cell biology. Previous studies showed that yeast Cdc48-Ufd1-Npl4 is governed by a quality control mechanism, whereby substrates must be conjugated to at least five ubiquitins. Here we show that substrate processing by mammalian p97-UFD1-NPL4 involves a complex interplay between ubiquitin chain length and additional p97 cofactors. Using disassembly of the ubiquitylated CMG helicase as a model in vitro system, we find that reconstituted p97-UFD1-NPL4 only unfolds substrates with very long ubiquitin chains. However, this high ubiquitin threshold is greatly reduced, to a level resembling yeast Cdc48-Ufd1-Npl4, by the UBXN7, FAF1 or FAF2 partners of mammalian p97-UFD1-NPL4. Stimulation by UBXN7/FAF1/FAF2 requires the UBX domain that connects each factor to p97, together with the ubiquitin-binding UBA domain of UBXN7 and a previously uncharacterised coiled-coil domain in FAF1/FAF2. Furthermore, we show that deletion of the UBXN7 and FAF1 genes impairs CMG disassembly during S-phase and mitosis and sensitises cells to reduced ubiquitin ligase activity. These findings indicate that multiple UBX proteins are important for the efficient unfolding of ubiquitylated proteins by p97-UFD1-NPL4 in mammalian cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
