Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, late-onset, progressive motor neurodegenerative disorder. A key pathological feature of the disease is the presence of heavily ubiquitinated protein inclusions. Both the unfolded protein response and the ubiquitin–proteasome system appear significantly impaired in patients and animal models of ALS. We have studied cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in ALS using a vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B (VAPB/ALS8) Drosophila model [Moustaqim-Barrette, A., Lin, Y.Q., Pradhan, S., Neely, G.G., Bellen, H.J. and Tsuda, H. (2014) The ALS 8 protein, VAP, is required for ER protein quality control. Hum. Mol. Genet., 23, 1975–1989], which mimics many systemic aspects of the human disease. Here, we show that VAPB, located on the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, interacts with Caspar, an orthologue of human fas associated factor 1 (FAF1). Caspar, in turn, interacts with transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase (TER94), a fly orthologue of ALS14 (VCP/p97, valosin-containing protein). Caspar overexpression in the glia extends lifespan and also slows the progression of motor dysfunction in the ALS8 disease model, a phenomenon that we ascribe to its ability to restrain age-dependent inflammation, which is modulated by Relish/NFκB signalling. Caspar binds to VAPB via an FFAT motif, and we find that Caspar’s ability to negatively regulate NFκB signalling is not dependent on the VAPB:Caspar interaction. We hypothesize that Caspar is a key molecule in the pathogenesis of ALS. The VAPB:Caspar:TER94 complex appears to be a candidate for regulating both protein homeostasis and NFκB signalling, with our study highlighting a role for Caspar in glial inflammation. We project human FAF1 as an important protein target to alleviate the progression of motor neuron disease.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
p97 belongs to the functional diverse superfamily of AAA+ (ATPases Associated with diverse cellular Activities) ATPases and is characterized by an N-terminal regulatory domain and two stacked hexameric ATPase domains forming a central protein conducting channel. p97 is highly versatile and has key functions in maintaining protein homeostasis including protein quality control mechanisms like the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy to disassemble polyubiquitylated proteins from chromatin, membranes, macromolecular protein complexes and aggregates which are either degraded by the proteasome or recycled. p97 can use energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to catalyze substrate unfolding and threading through its central channel. The function of p97 in a large variety of different cellular contexts is reflected by its simultaneous association with different cofactors, which are involved in substrate recognition and processing, thus leading to the formation of transient multi-protein complexes. Dysregulation in protein homeostasis and proteotoxic stress are often involved in the development of cancer and neurological diseases and targeting the UPS including p97 in cancer is a well-established pharmacological strategy. In this chapter we will describe structural and functional aspects of the p97 interactome in regulating diverse cellular processes and will discuss the role of p97 in targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
The copper-transporting ATPase ATP7A contains eight transmembrane domains and is required for normal human copper homeostasis. Mutations in the ATP7A gene may lead to infantile-onset cerebral degeneration (Menkes disease); occipital horn syndrome (OHS), a related but much milder illness; or an adult-onset isolated distal motor neuropathy. The ATP7A missense mutation T994I is located in the sixth transmembrane domain of ATP7A, represents one of the variants associated with the latter phenotype, and is associated with an abnormal interaction with p97/valosin-containing protein (VCP), a hexameric AAA ATPase (ATPase associated with diverse cellular activities) with multiple biological functions. In this study, we further characterized this interaction and discovered a concealed UBX domain in the third lumenal loop of ATP7A, between its fifth and sixth transmembrane domains. We show that the T994I substitution results in conformational exposure of the UBX domain, which then binds the N-terminal domain of p97/VCP. We also show that this abnormal interaction occurs at or near the cell plasma membrane. The UBX domain has a conserved hydrophobic FP (Phe-Pro) motif, and substitution with di-alanine abrogated the interaction and restored the proper intracellular localization of ATP7A in the trans-Golgi network. Using protein MS, we identified potential coordinating components of the ATP7AT994I-p97 complex, including NSFL1 cofactor (NSF1C or p47) that may be relevant to the pathophysiology and clinical effects associated with ATP7AT994I Our study represents the first report of p97/VCP binding to a UBX domain that is not normally exposed, resulting in an aberrant protein-protein interaction leading to motor neuron degeneration.

Abstract
The hexameric type II AAA ATPase (ATPase associated with various activities) p97 (also referred to as VCP, Cdc48, and Ter94) is critically involved in a variety of cellular activities including pathways such as DNA replication and repair which both involve chromatin remodeling, and is a key player in various protein quality control pathways mediated by the ubiquitin proteasome system as well as autophagy. Correspondingly, p97 has been linked to various pathophysiological states including cancer, neurodegeneration, and premature aging. p97 encompasses an N-terminal domain, two highly conserved ATPase domains and an unstructured C-terminal tail. This enzyme hydrolyzes ATP and utilizes the resulting energy to extract or disassemble protein targets modified with ubiquitin from stable protein assemblies, chromatin and membranes. p97 participates in highly diverse cellular processes and hence its activity is tightly controlled. This is achieved by multiple regulatory cofactors, which either associate with the N-terminal domain or interact with the extreme C-terminus via distinct binding elements and target p97 to specific cellular pathways, sometimes requiring the simultaneous association with more than one cofactor. Most cofactors are recruited to p97 through conserved binding motifs/domains and assist in substrate recognition or processing by providing additional molecular properties. A tight control of p97 cofactor specificity and diversity as well as the assembly of higher-order p97-cofactor complexes is accomplished by various regulatory mechanisms, which include bipartite binding, binding site competition, changes in oligomeric assemblies, and nucleotide-induced conformational changes. Furthermore, post-translational modifications (PTMs) like acetylation, palmitoylation, phosphorylation, SUMOylation, and ubiquitylation of p97 have been reported which further modulate its diverse molecular activities. In this review, we will describe the molecular basis of p97-cofactor specificity/diversity and will discuss how PTMs can modulate p97-cofactor interactions and affect the physiological and patho-physiological functions of p97.

Abstract
In humans, UBXD7 (also called UBXN7), an adaptor of p97 ATPase, can participate in the degradation of misfolded or damaged proteins in the p97-mediated ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). UBXD7 binds to ubiquitinated substrates via its UBA domain and interacts with p97 N-terminal domain through its UBX domain to recruit p97 or the p97 core complex (p97/NPL4/UFD1). Here, we report the crystal structures of the UBX domain of UBXD7 (UBXD7UBX) at 2.0 Å resolution and its complex with p97 N-terminal domain (p97NTD-UBXD7UBX complex) at 2.4 Å resolution. A structural analysis and isothermal titration calorimetry results provide detailed molecular basis of interaction between UBXD7UBX and p97NTD. Moreover, structural superpositions suggest that dimerization of UBXD7UBX via an intermolecular disulfide bond could interfere with the formation of the p97NTD-UBXD7UBX complex. Interestingly, UBXD7 may have a cooperative effect on p97 interaction with UFD1. Together, these results provide structural and biochemical insights into the interaction between p97NTD and UBXD7UBX.

Abstract
The AAA-ATPase VCP (also known as p97 or CDC48) uses ATP hydrolysis to 'segregate' ubiquitylated proteins from their binding partners. VCP acts through UBX-domain-containing adaptors that provide target specificity, but the targets and functions of UBXD proteins remain poorly understood. Through systematic proteomic analysis of UBXD proteins in human cells, we reveal a network of over 195 interacting proteins, implicating VCP in diverse cellular pathways. We have explored one such complex between an unstudied adaptor UBXN10 and the intraflagellar transport B (IFT-B) complex, which regulates anterograde transport into cilia. UBXN10 localizes to cilia in a VCP-dependent manner and both VCP and UBXN10 are required for ciliogenesis. Pharmacological inhibition of VCP destabilized the IFT-B complex and increased trafficking rates. Depletion of UBXN10 in zebrafish embryos causes defects in left-right asymmetry, which depends on functional cilia. This study provides a resource for exploring the landscape of UBXD proteins in biology and identifies an unexpected requirement for VCP-UBXN10 in ciliogenesis.

Abstract
p97 (also known as Cdc48, Ter94, and VCP) is an essential, abundant and highly conserved ATPase driving the turnover of ubiquitylated proteins in eukaryotes. Even though p97 is involved in highly diverse cellular pathways and processes, it exhibits hardly any substrate specificity on its own. Instead, it relies on a large number of regulatory cofactors controlling substrate specificity and turnover. The complexity as well as temporal and spatial regulation of the interactions between p97 and its cofactors is only beginning to be understood at the molecular level. Here, we give an overview on the structural framework of p97 interactions with its cofactors, the emerging principles underlying the assembly of complexes with different cofactors, and the pathogenic effects of disease-associated p97 mutations on cofactor binding.

Abstract
Negative regulation is required to keep NF-κB-dependent immune response under tight control. In previous study, we have identified a Fas associated factor (FAF) family member in Bombyx mori, BmFAF, and proposed it may act as a negative regulator in immune response. In this study, we found knock-down of BmFAF by RNAi led to a remarkable increase in transcriptional level of several antimicrobial peptide genes, including BmCecropinA1 and BmMoricin, and higher survival rate to Gram-negative bacterial infection. We also confirmed the regulatory role of BmFAF in suppressing NF-κB-dependent transcription by employing an inducible promoter in BmE cells. Consistent with these physiological phenotypes, BmFAF suppressed the activity of the essential transcription factor, Relish, in IMD signaling pathway by promoting its proteasomal degradation through direct interaction. In addition, by constructing various truncation mutants, we further demonstrated that UBA domain in BmFAF is required for the inhibitory role, and potential ubiquitination also occurs in this domain. Taken together, our results suggest that BmFAF is a negative regulator of IMD pathway by mediating degradation of Relish.

Abstract
The UBX domain of Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1) binds to the N domain of p97/VCP, a multi-functional hexameric ATPase, and FAF1 thus inhibits the proteasome-mediated protein-degradation process assisted by p97/VCP. Here, crystallization of the hexameric p97/VCP ND1 fragment in complex with the FAF1 UBX domain is reported. Wild-type p97/VCP ND1 in complex with FAF1 UBX crystallized into very thin sheet-shaped crystals which turned out to be of poor diffraction quality. Therefore, in order to acquire a better diffraction-quality crystal, three mutants of p97/VCP ND1 were generated based on the surface-entropy reduction method. Of these, a triple mutant was the most successful in producing diffraction-quality crystals suitable for subsequent structural analysis. X-ray data were collected to 3.60 Å resolution and the crystals belonged to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 166.28, b = 170.04, c = 255.99 Å. The Matthews coefficient and solvent content were estimated to be 5.78 Å(3) Da(-1) and 78.72%, respectively.
