  • Title: VCIP135 associates with both the N- and C-terminal regions of p97 ATPase.
    Author: Nakayama S, Kondo H.
    Journal: J Biol Chem; 2024 Jan; 300(1):105540. PubMed ID: 38072049.
    Abstract:
    Two distinct p97ATPase-mediated membrane fusion pathways are required for Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) biogenesis, namely, the p97/p47 pathway and the p97/p37 pathway. p97 (VCP)/p47 complex-interacting protein p135 (VCIP135) is necessary for both of these pathways. Although VCIP135 is known to form a complex with p97 in the cytosol, the role of this complex in Golgi and ER biogenesis has remained unclear. In this study, we demonstrated that VCIP135 has two distinct p97-binding sites at its N- and C-terminal regions. In particular, the C-terminal binding site includes the SHP motif, which is also found in other p97-binding proteins, such as p47, p37, and Ufd1. We also clarified that VCIP135 binds to both the N- and C-terminal regions of p97; that is, the N- and C-terminal binding sites in VCIP135 interact with the C- and N-terminal regions of p97, respectively. These two interactions within the complex are synchronously controlled by the nucleotide state of p97. We next generated VCIP135 mutants lacking each of the p97-binding sites to investigate their functions in living cells and clarified that VCIP135 is involved in Golgi and ER biogenesis through its two distinct interactions with p97. VCIP135 is hence a unique p97-binding protein that functions by interacting with both the N-and C-terminal regions of p97, which strongly suggests that it plays crucial roles in p97-mediated events.
