Npl4 in complex with Ufd1
Structural highlights
Function[NPL4_YEAST] Involved in the import of nuclear-targeted proteins into the nucleus and the export of poly(A) RNA out of the nucleus (PubMed:8930904, PubMed:11733065). Has a role in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway (PubMed:11739805, PubMed:11740563, PubMed:11847109). Required for the proteasome-dependent processing/activation of MGA2 and SPT23 transcription factors leading to the subsequent expression of OLE1 (PubMed:11733065). Has an additional role in the turnover of OLE1 where it targets ubiquitinated OLE1 and other proteins to the ERAD (PubMed:11847109). Regulates ubiquitin-mediated mitochondria protein degradation (PubMed:21070972). Involved in spindle disassembly probably by promoting the degradation of spindle assemby factors ASE1 and CDC5 at the end of mitosis (PubMed:14636562).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [UFD1_YEAST] Functions at a post-ubiquitation step in the ubiquitin fusion degradation (UFD) pathway. Has a role in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Required for the proteasome-dependent processing/activation of MGA2 and SPT23 transcription factors leading to the subsequent expression of OLE1. Has an additional role in the turnover of OLE1 where it targets ubiquitinated OLE1 and other proteins to the ERAD.[8] [9] [10] [11] Publication Abstract from PubMedNpl4 is likely to be the most upstream factor recognizing Lys48-linked polyubiquitylated substrates in the proteasomal degradation pathway in yeast. Along with Ufd1, Npl4 forms a heterodimer (UN), and functions as a cofactor for the Cdc48 ATPase. Here, we report the crystal structures of yeast Npl4 in complex with Lys48-linked diubiquitin and with the Npl4-binding motif of Ufd1. The distal and proximal ubiquitin moieties of Lys48-linked diubiquitin primarily interact with the C-terminal helix and N-terminal loop of the Npl4 C-terminal domain (CTD), respectively. Mutational analysis suggests that the CTD contributes to linkage selectivity and initial binding of ubiquitin chains. Ufd1 occupies a hydrophobic groove of the Mpr1/Pad1 N-terminal (MPN) domain of Npl4, which corresponds to the catalytic groove of the MPN domain of JAB1/MPN/Mov34 metalloenzyme (JAMM)-family deubiquitylating enzyme. This study provides important structural insights into the polyubiquitin chain recognition by the Cdc48-UN complex and its assembly.
