The ubiquitin-selective chaperone CDC-48/p97 links myosin assembly to human myopathy

Abstract: Protein degradation in eukaryotes often requires the ubiquitin-selective chaperone p97 for substrate recruitment and ubiquitin-chain assembly. However, the physiological relevance of p97, and its role in developmental processes, remain unclear. Here, we discover an unanticipated function for CDC-48/p97 in myosin assembly and myofibril organization, both in Caenorhabditis elegans and humans. The developmentally regulated assembly of a CDC-48-UFD-2-CHN-1 complex links turnover of the myosin-directed chaperone UN… Show more

“…UNC-45b-deficient zebrafish embryos and worms have strongly disorganized sarcomeres, although initial Zbody formation and the basal organization of thick filaments seems not to be altered, implicating a rather restricted role of UNC-45b in the integration of thick filaments into sarcomeres (Barral et al, 2002;Etard et al, 2007). Strikingly, not only the loss but also elevated levels of UNC-45b result in inhibition of sarcomere assembly in worms and zebrafish, indicating that muscle chaperone levels have to be precisely balanced for unconstrained sarcomerogenesis and myosin stability (Bernick et al, 2010;Hoppe et al, 2004;Janiesch et al, 2007;Landsverk et al, 2007). We find UNC-45b expression levels to be severely upregulated in fla. Interestingly, a mild knockdown of UNC-45b in fla mutant embryos does not reconstitute heart and skeletal muscle function, implying that overexpression of UNC-45b is not the molecular cause of the observed muscle phenotype in fla.…”

“…Ufd3, in contrast, stabilizes substrates due to its antagonistic binding to Cdc48 [52]. In higher eukaryotes, Ufd2 controls myosin assembly and myofibril organization by catalyzing the degradation of the myosin-specific chaperone, UNC-45 [81,82]. While Ufd2 and Ufd3 provide an additional layer of control in certain Cdc48-dependent degradation pathways, other substrate-processing cofactors appear to execute their (enzymatic) function on predetermined substrates without further regulatory impact.…”

“…In recent studies, the ATPase p97/VCP of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family has been implicated in the proteasomal degradation of certain cytosolic substrates (9)(10)(11)(12)(13). VCP is capable of dissociating proteins from large cellular structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum (14), the mitotic spindle (12), the nuclear envelope (15), and chromatin (16).…”
