VCF1/2 bind to p97.

(A) Schematic overview of human VCF1 and VCF2 isoforms isolated in a yeast two-hybrid screen. Relevant amino acid residue numbers are shown, and conserved N- and C-terminal sequence motifs are indicated by purple and orange boxes, respectively. Sequence identity outside these boxes is indicated by different shades of gray (light, medium, dark). Internal deletions in VCF1 isoform 2 and VCF2 isoform 4 are indicated by thin lines. (B) Multiple-sequence alignment showing representative members of the FAM104 family. Regions with predicted alpha-helical secondary structure are indicated at the top by 'H'. The most highly conserved residues in the C-terminal sequence motif are boxed in red. Other conserved residues are boxed in black or gray, according to the degree of conservation. Numbers in square brackets indicate the length of insertions. For human VCF1 and VCF2, the sequences of isoforms 2 and 4, respectively, are shown, and numbers in round brackets indicate a 21-residue insertion present in isoforms 1 and 5 of VCF1 and a 1-residue insertion present in isoform 3 of VCF2, respectively. (C) Yeast two-hybrid analysis. Yeast PJ69-4a reporter cells transformed with the indicated combinations of bait (BD-) and prey (AD-) plasmids were spotted onto agar plates containing synthetic complete medium lacking uracil and leucine (control) or uracil, leucine, and histidine (-His). Growth was monitored after 3 d. (D) Glutathione sepharose pulldown assay using wild-type p97 and GST fusions of the indicated VCF1/2 proteins. Binding of p97 was analyzed by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie brilliant blue staining. (E, F) Glutathione sepharose pulldown assays as in (D), using the indicated p97 variants and GST fusions of VCF1 isoform 5 (E) and VCF2 isoform 3 (F), respectively. Arrowheads mark the position of the p97 N domain.

Evolutionary conservation of FAM104 proteins.

(A) CLANS diagram of the FAM104 family. The sequence relationship between different FAM104-related proteins is visualized by similarity-based clustering using the CLANS software. Each point represents one protein; point-to point distances are approximations of sequence divergence. Selected clusters are annotated. (B) Consensus sequences of conserved motifs. Separate sequence logos for the N- and C-terminal motifs were generated for the vertebrate and invertebrate clusters, respectively. (C) Comparison of the evolutionary conservation of predicted classical nuclear localization signals (cNLSs) in p97/Cdc48 (left multiple-sequence alignment) with the occurrence of VCF/FAM104 homologs (right multiple-sequence alignment). Positively charged residues in the consistently predicted cNLSs of p97/Cdc48 and FAM104 proteins are shown in red, whereas those in the region of the functional bipartite cNLS of S. cerevisiae Cdc48 are shown in blue. Note the lack of conservation of this bipartite cNLS in organisms possessing FAM104 homologs.

Arrowheads mark the position of the p97 N domain. (F, G) AlphaFold Multimer model of the C-terminal alpha-helix of VCF1 (turquoise) bound to the N domain of p97. (F) Overview showing binding to the subdomain cleft of the N domain. (G) Close-up view showing the interaction of the four most highly conserved residues with the N domain (green). Residue numbers refer to isoform 1 of VCF1. (H) Glutathione sepharose pulldown assay using wild-type p97 and GST fusions of the indicated full-length (wildtype, NL->AA, NL->RR) or C-terminally truncated (Cdel26) variants of VCF1 isoform 5.

VCF1/2 associate with several p97-cofactor complexes.

(A) HEK293T cells ectopically expressing the indicated N-terminally FLAG-epitope-tagged VCF1/2 proteins or control cells were subjected to anti-FLAG immunoprecipitation (IP). Input and IP samples were immunoblotted for the FLAG epitope tag, p97, p47, and UBXN2B.

The asterisk indicates a nonspecific, cross-reactive band. (C) Lysates from HEK293T cells ectopically expressing the indicated N-terminally FLAG-epitope-tagged VCF1/2 proteins or control cells were subjected to IP of endogenous p97 or control IP (IgG). Input and IP samples were immunoblotted using the indicated antibodies.

(A) HeLa cells ectopically expressing full-length, N-terminally FLAG epitope-tagged VCF isoforms 1, 2, and 5, VCF2 isoform 3, and empty vector control, respectively, were analyzed by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies against endogenous p97 and the FLAG epitope. Scale bars, 50 µm. All images were taken with identical acquisition settings and processed identically. (B) HeLa cells ectopically expressing N-terminally FLAG epitope-tagged VCF1 isoforms 1 and 2 lacking the C-terminal conserved helix (Cdel26) or the classical nuclear localization signal (cNLS) (delNLS), and VCF1 isoform 5 lacking the cNLS, were analyzed as in (A). Scale bars, 50 µm. (C) Quantification of the ratio of nuclear to cytoplasmic p97 signals in panels (A) and (B). Except for the vector control where all imaged cells were included (>80 cells per replicate and condition), only transfected cells (as judged by the FLAG channel) were included in the quantification. Shown is the mean ± SD; n = 2 biological replicates with 15–30 transfected cells per replicate and condition; one-way ANOVA. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001; the differences between the Cdel26 and delNLS constructs and the vector control are all not significant (p>0.87). (D) Quantification of the ratio of nuclear to cytoplasmic FLAG signals in panels (A) and (B) was performed as described in (C).

Ectopic expression of VCF1 isoforms 1 and 2 promotes the association of p97 with chromatin.

(A) HEK293T cells were transfected with plasmids encoding the indicated N-terminally FLAG-epitope-tagged VCF1 proteins or with empty vector (control). Total protein extracts were prepared by direct boiling part of the cells in SDS-PAGE sample buffer (SDS). The remaining cells were processed to cytoplasmic, soluble nuclear (nucleoplasmic), and chromatin fractions as indicated. Tubulin and ubiquitylated histone H2B (Ub-H2B) served as markers for the cytoplasmic and chromatin fractions, respectively, whereas the Coomassie staining of the membrane (total protein stain) served as loading control. (B) Fractionation of lysates from HEK293T cells ectopically expressing VCF1 isoform 1 or control cells using an alternative protocol including benzonase treatment that allows to distinguish solubilized chromatin-associated proteins (chromatin) from insoluble proteins (insoluble).

Deletion of VCF1/2 causes reduced growth and hypersensitivity to p97 inhibition.

(A) HeLa VCF1/2 double-knockout (DKO) and control cells were seeded in 96-well plates, cultivated for 8 d, stained with Hoechst dye and automatically counted using a high-content microscopy platform. n = 6 (two biological replicates in three technical replicates each), shown are mean ± SD; unpaired two-tailed Student´s t-test, **p<0.01.
