Structure of the Cdc48 segregase in the act of unfolding an authentic substrate.

ABSTRACT: The cellular machine Cdc48 functions in multiple biological pathways by segregating its protein substrates from a variety of stable environments such as organelles or multi-subunit complexes. Despite extensive studies, the mechanism of Cdc48 has remained obscure, and its reported structures are inconsistent with models of substrate translocation proposed for other AAA+ ATPases (adenosine triphosphatases). Here, we report a 3.7-angstrom-resolution structure of Cdc48 in complex with an adaptor protein and a native substrate. Cdc48 engages substrate by adopting a helical configuration of substrate-binding residues that extends through the central pore of both of the ATPase rings. These findings indicate a unified hand-over-hand mechanism of protein translocation by Cdc48 and other AAA+ ATPases.

Substrate processing by the Cdc48 ATPase complex is initiated by ubiquitin unfolding.

Project description:The Cdc48 adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (p97 or valosin-containing protein in mammals) and its cofactor Ufd1/Npl4 extract polyubiquitinated proteins from membranes or macromolecular complexes for subsequent degradation by the proteasome. How Cdc48 processes its diverse and often well-folded substrates is unclear. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the Cdc48 ATPase in complex with Ufd1/Npl4 and polyubiquitinated substrate. The structures show that the Cdc48 complex initiates substrate processing by unfolding a ubiquitin molecule. The unfolded ubiquitin molecule binds to Npl4 and projects its N-terminal segment through both hexameric ATPase rings. Pore loops of the second ring form a staircase that acts as a conveyer belt to move the polypeptide through the central pore. Inducing the unfolding of ubiquitin allows the Cdc48 ATPase complex to process a broad range of substrates.

Versatile control of the CDC48 segregase by the plant UBX-containing (PUX) proteins.

Project description:In plants, AAA-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) Cell Division Control Protein 48 (CDC48) uses the force generated through ATP hydrolysis to pull, extract, and unfold ubiquitylated or sumoylated proteins from the membrane, chromatin, or protein complexes. The resulting changes in protein or RNA content are an important means for plants to control protein homeostasis and thereby adapt to shifting environmental conditions. The activity and targeting of CDC48 are controlled by adaptor proteins, of which the plant ubiquitin regulatory X (UBX) domain-containing (PUX) proteins constitute the largest family. Emerging knowledge on the structure and function of PUX proteins highlights that these proteins are versatile factors for plant homeostasis and adaptation that might inspire biotechnological applications.

Visualization of the Cdc48 AAA+ ATPase protein unfolding pathway: Substrate Identification

Project description:The Cdc48 AAA+ ATPase is an abundant and essential enzyme that unfolds substrates in multiple protein quality control pathways. The enzyme includes two conserved AAA+ ATPase cassettes, D1 and D2, that assemble as hexameric rings with D1 stacked above D2. Here, we report an ensemble of structures of Cdc48 affinity purified from lysate in complex with the adaptor Shp1 in the act of unfolding substrate. Our analysis reveals a continuum of structural snapshots that spans the entire translocation cycle. These data reveal new elements of Shp1-Cdc48 binding and support a “hand-over-hand” mechanism in which the sequential movement of individual subunits is closely coordinated. D1 hydrolyzes ATP and disengages from substrate prior to D2, while D2 rebinds ATP and re-engages with substrate prior to D1, thereby explaining the dominant role played by D2 in substrate translocation/unfolding.

Visualization of the Cdc48 AAA+ ATPase protein unfolding pathway.

Project description:The Cdc48 AAA+ ATPase is an abundant and essential enzyme that unfolds substrates in multiple protein quality control pathways. The enzyme includes two conserved AAA+ ATPase motor domains, D1 and D2, that assemble as hexameric rings with D1 stacked above D2. Here, we report an ensemble of native structures of Cdc48 affinity purified from budding yeast lysate in complex with the adaptor Shp1 in the act of unfolding substrate. Our analysis reveals a continuum of structural snapshots that spans the entire translocation cycle. These data uncover elements of Shp1-Cdc48 interactions and support a 'hand-over-hand' mechanism in which the sequential movement of individual subunits is closely coordinated. D1 hydrolyzes ATP and disengages from substrate prior to D2, while D2 rebinds ATP and re-engages with substrate prior to D1, thereby explaining the dominant role played by the D2 motor in substrate translocation/unfolding.

Targeting of SUMO substrates to a Cdc48-Ufd1-Npl4 segregase and STUbL pathway in fission yeast.

Project description:In eukaryotes, the conjugation of proteins to the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) regulates numerous cellular functions. A proportion of SUMO conjugates are targeted for degradation by SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligases (STUbLs) and it has been proposed that the ubiquitin-selective chaperone Cdc48/p97-Ufd1-Npl4 facilitates this process. However, the extent to which the two pathways overlap, and how substrates are selected, remains unknown. Here we address these questions in fission yeast through proteome-wide analyses of SUMO modification sites. We identify over a thousand sumoylated lysines in a total of 468 proteins and quantify changes occurring in the SUMO modification status when the STUbL or Ufd1 pathways are compromised by mutations. The data suggest the coordinated processing of several classes of SUMO conjugates, many dynamically associated with centromeres or telomeres. They provide new insights into subnuclear organization and chromosome biology, and, altogether, constitute an extensive resource for the molecular characterization of SUMO function and dynamics.

Cdc48/p97 segregase is modulated by cyclin-dependent kinase to determine cyclin fate during G1 progression.

Project description:Cells sense myriad signals during G1, and a rapid response to prevent cell cycle entry is of crucial importance for proper development and adaptation. Cln3, the most upstream G1 cyclin in budding yeast, is an extremely short-lived protein subject to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. On the other hand, nuclear accumulation of Cln3 depends on chaperones that are also important for its degradation. However, how these processes are intertwined to control G1-cyclin fate is not well understood. Here, we show that Cln3 undergoes a challenging ubiquitination step required for both degradation and full activation. Segregase Cdc48/p97 prevents degradation of ubiquitinated Cln3, and concurrently stimulates its ER release and nuclear accumulation to trigger Start. Cdc48/p97 phosphorylation at conserved Cdk-target sites is important for recruitment of specific cofactors and, in both yeast and mammalian cells, to attain proper G1-cyclin levels and activity. Cdk-dependent modulation of Cdc48 would subjugate G1 cyclins to fast and reversible state switching, thus arresting cells promptly in G1 at developmental or environmental checkpoints, but also resuming G1 progression immediately after proliferative signals reappear.

Nucleolar release of rDNA repeats for repair involves SUMO-mediated untethering by the Cdc48/p97 segregase.

Project description:Ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) are highly unstable and susceptible to rearrangement due to their repetitive nature and active transcriptional status. Sequestration of rDNA in the nucleolus suppresses uncontrolled recombination. However, broken repeats must be first released to the nucleoplasm to allow repair by homologous recombination. Nucleolar release of broken rDNA repeats is conserved from yeast to humans, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are currently unknown. Here we show that DNA damage induces phosphorylation of the CLIP-cohibin complex, releasing membrane-tethered rDNA from the nucleolus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Downstream of phosphorylation, SUMOylation of CLIP-cohibin is recognized by Ufd1 via its SUMO-interacting motif, which targets the complex for disassembly through the Cdc48/p97 chaperone. Consistent with a conserved mechanism, UFD1L depletion in human cells impairs rDNA release. The dynamic and regulated assembly and disassembly of the rDNA-tethering complex is therefore a key determinant of nucleolar rDNA release and genome integrity.

Targeting of client proteins to the VCP/p97/Cdc48 unfolding machine.

Project description:The AAA+ ATPase p97 (also called VCP or Cdc48) is a major protein unfolding machine with hundreds of clients in diverse cellular pathways that are critical for cell homeostasis, proliferation and signaling. In this review, we summarize recent advances in understanding how diverse client proteins are targeted to the p97 machine to facilitate client degradation or to strip clients from binding partners for regulation. We describe an elaborate system that is governed by at least two types of alternative adapters. The Ufd1-Npl4 adapter along with accessory adapters targets ubiquitylated clients in the majority of pathways and uses ubiquitin as a universal unfolding tag. In contrast, the family of SEP-domain adapters such as p37 can target clients directly to p97 in a ubiquitin-independent manner. Despite the different targeting strategies, both pathways converge by inserting the client into the p97 pore to initiate a peptide threading mechanism through the central channel of p97 that drives client protein unfolding, protein extraction from membranes and protein complex disassembly processes.

Structure of a AAA+ unfoldase in the process of unfolding substrate.

Project description:AAA+ unfoldases are thought to unfold substrate through the central pore of their hexameric structures, but how this process occurs is not known. VAT, the Thermoplasma acidophilum homologue of eukaryotic CDC48/p97, works in conjunction with the proteasome to degrade misfolded or damaged proteins. We show that in the presence of ATP, VAT with its regulatory N-terminal domains removed unfolds other VAT complexes as substrate. We captured images of this transient process by electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) to reveal the structure of the substrate-bound intermediate. Substrate binding breaks the six-fold symmetry of the complex, allowing five of the six VAT subunits to constrict into a tight helix that grips an ~80 Å stretch of unfolded protein. The structure suggests a processive hand-over-hand unfolding mechanism, where each VAT subunit releases the substrate in turn before re-engaging further along the target protein, thereby unfolding it.

SUMO enhances unfolding of SUMO-polyubiquitin-modified substrates by the Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 complex.

Project description:The Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 complex is a universal protein segregase that plays key roles in eukaryotic cellular processes. Its functions orchestrating the clearance or removal of polyubiquitylated targets are established; however, prior studies suggest that the complex also targets substrates modified by the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO. Here, we show that interactions between Ufd1 and SUMO enhance unfolding of substrates modified by SUMO-polyubiquitin hybrid chains by the budding yeast Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 complex compared to substrates modified by polyubiquitin chains, a difference that is accentuated when the complex has a choice between these substrates. Incubating Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 with a substrate modified by a SUMO-polyubiquitin hybrid chain produced a series of single-particle cryo-EM structures that reveal features of interactions between Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48 and ubiquitin prior to and during unfolding of ubiquitin. These results are consistent with cellular functions for SUMO and ubiquitin modifications and support a physical model wherein Ufd1/Npl4/Cdc48, SUMO, and ubiquitin conjugation pathways converge to promote clearance of proteins modified with SUMO and polyubiquitin.
