"To put the VCP-VCPIP1 structure in context with the critical VCP adapter p47, we determined the structure of a VCP-VCPIP1-p47 ternary complex, which reveals that the p47 UBX domain outcompetes the VCPIP1 UBX domain on the VCP N-domain, which may suggest dynamic competition for N-domain binding, as seen with other VCP cofactors xref , xref , xref and in other VCP processes."

"To reconstitute the VCP-VCPIP1 complex for structural studies, we co-expressed and purified full-length VCPIP1 and VCP (Supplementary Fig. xref , see Fig. xref for schematics of domain organization indicating domain boundaries) from Expi293 cells with no addition of ATP or ATP analogs (see “Methods”)."

"Although exogenous ATPs were not used for structural studies, VCP N-domains were seen in the up and down conformation for the VCP-VCPIP1 complex and further refinement with six-fold symmetry was done in both conformations, but there was substantially less UBX domain density bound in the up-position compared to the down-position (see intermediates in Supplementary Fig. xref )."

"To date, there are no lines of evidence indicating that VCIP135 requires its binding to p97 for Golgi and ER biogenesis.In this study, we investigated the binding interactions between VCIP135 and p97 and found that VCIP135 has two distinct p97-binding sites; that is, its N- and C-terminal p97-binding sites interact with the C- and N-terminal regions of p97, respectively."
reach
"In other words, these results strongly support the fact that each of the two distinct binding interactions between VCIP135 and p97 is sufficient for VCIP135-p97 complex formation.We also investigated the nucleotide dependency of the two interactions between VCIP135 and p97 using these full-length VCIP135 mutants."

"The phosphorylation of Ser-130 might disrupt the binding of p97 to the N-terminal binding site in VCIP135.In the present study, we clarified that VCIP135 and p97 form a complex through two distinct interactions and that either one of the interactions is sufficient for this complex formation."
reach
"Taking these facts altogether, it is plausible that these binding interactions of VCIP135 with p97 may be required for the ubiquitin-independent functions of VCIP135, but not for its ubiquitin-dependent function.Finally, we will discuss the functional significance of these two binding interactions in the VCIP135-p97 complex."
reach
"The tethering complex is generally thought to be dissociated and then reused after membrane fusion, and hence VCIP135 might be a candidate recycling factor of the tethering complex.Another important point is that VCIP135 can associate with p97 by binding to either its N- or C-terminal region."

However, the molecular mechanism of VCPIP1 interacting with P97/VCP and the precise roles of the VCPIP1‐P97/VCP complex in Golgi membrane fusion in late mitosis is still elusive.In this study, we first analyzed the interactions between P97/VCP and VCPIP1 fragments and found out that VCPIP1 can associate with P97/VCP in vitro through multiple binding sites, including the N‐terminal OTU domain, the middle UFD1 domain, and the C‐terminal UBL‐UFD2 domain."
reach
"Albeit with the relatively lower and heterogeneous resolution of VCPIP1, the regions of VCPIP1 that directly contact P97/VCP could be readily and confidently modeled.Expectedly, the P97/VCP in the P97/VCP‐VCPIP1 complex was folded into the canonical homo‐hexamer as previously studied (Figure 2A,C)."

Considering the key role in contact with VCP by VCPIP1 Y623 and F638, which are the neighboring residues of K632 and K646, UFD1 ubiquitination might have a direct effect on their interaction and thus regulate Golgi membrane dynamics.In conclusion, our findings uncover the high‐resolution structure of the P97/VCP‐VCPIP1 complex and reveal the unique and unexpected binding modes between the ATP‐driven substrate unfoldase P97/VCP and the deubiquitinase VCPIP1."
reach
"These biochemical assays further demonstrated that VCPIP1 contacts the D2 domain of P97/VCP through its UFD1 domain, inducing a conformational change in P97/VCP to favor its binding to the SNARE substrate, thereby regulating the disassembly of the SNARE complex.To further investigate the functional relevance of the P97/VCP‐VCPIP1 complex in post‐mitotic Golgi reassembly, we generated a VCPIP1‐knockout HeLa cell line using CRISPR‐Cas9 technology."
reach
"In this study, our structural and functional studies of the P97/VCP‐VCPIP1 complex provide key insights into the organization and membrane fusion mechanism of the underappreciated P97/VCP‐VCPIP1 complex.VCPIP1 was initially identified as an essential factor for P97/VCP/p47‐mediated Golgi and ER assembly (15)."
"Golgi biogenesis requires two distinct p97ATPase-mediated membrane fusion, the p97/p47 and p97/p37 pathways. |We clarified that VCIP135, an essential factor in both p97 membrane fusion pathways, is phosphorylated on Threonine-760 and Serine-767 by Cdc2 at mitosis and that this phosphorylated VCIP135 does not bind to p97."
