Title: Faf1 accelerates p97-mediated protein unfolding by promoting ubiquitin engagement.
Authors: Zengwei Liao / Connor Arkinson / Andreas Martin /
Abstract: P97/VCP is a protein unfoldase of the AAA+ ATPase family that plays essential roles in numerous processes, including ER-associated degradation and DNA replication. For unfolding of proteins modified ...P97/VCP is a protein unfoldase of the AAA+ ATPase family that plays essential roles in numerous processes, including ER-associated degradation and DNA replication. For unfolding of proteins modified with K48-linked ubiquitin chains, p97 works with the heterodimeric cofactor Ufd1-Npl4, and the cofactor Faf1 was shown to enhance this activity during replisome disassembly by unknown mechanisms. Here, we employ an in vitro reconstituted system with human components for biochemical experiments, FRET-based assays, and cryo-EM structure determination to reveal that Faf1 generally accelerates ubiquitin-dependent substrate processing by promoting the unfolding of an initiator ubiquitin and its engagement by the ATPase. Faf1 thereby uses its p97-bound C-terminal UBX domain to anchor a long helix that braces Ufd1's UT3 domain and stabilizes Ufd1-Npl4 for ubiquitin unfolding. Our findings demonstrate how p97 works simultaneously with several cofactors to facilitate the unfolding of ubiquitinated proteins, indicating more complex regulatory mechanisms than for the simpler yeast Cdc48.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
