A UBH-UBX module amplifies p97/VCP’s unfolding power to facilitate protein extraction and degradation
2025
Overview
The p97-UFD1L-NPLOC4 ATPase unfolds numerous proteins for proteasomal degradation, but whether it suffices to pull proteins out of lipid bilayer remains unclear. Here, we identify a conserved ubiquitin-binding helix (UBH) in many UBX-containing p97 adapters, including FAF2, across yeast, plants, and metazoans. The UBH-UBX substantially facilitates the engagement of ubiquitinated substrates with p97-UFD1L-NPLOC4, and enhances p97 motor’s working ATPase and unfolding activities by approximately twofold. Using purified p97-UFD1L-NPLOC4-FAF2
UBH-UBX
, we reconstitute membrane protein extraction from the ER and mitochondria, establishing p97-UFD1L-NPLOC4-FAF2 (p97-UNF) as a power-enhanced unfoldase. Deleting UBH or disrupting UBH-ubiquitin interaction impairs substrate targeting, reduces p97-UNF’s working ATPase and unfolding activities, and abolishes membrane protein extraction and degradation. We propose that UBH-UBX module amplifies p97’s mechanical output power, enabling the removal of challenging substrates from large assemblies and ensuring rapid responses to protein misfolding or regulatory signals in diverse physiological processes.
p97-UFD1L-NPLOC4 unfolds proteins for proteasomal degradation, but whether it suffices to extract proteins from lipid bilayers is unclear. We show that the UBH-UBX module in FAF2 and its homologs double p97’s ATPase and unfolding activity, and drives membrane protein extraction.
