FAF1 and FAF2 enhance unfolding by p97-UFD1-NPL4 complex enabling rational design of p97 activators

Abstract VCP/p97 is an AAA+ ATPase that, together with its cofactors UFD1-NPL4 (p97-UN), unfolds ubiquitylated substrates to maintain cellular homeostasis. The human p97-UN complex associates with additional cofactors, but how these cofactors modulate p97-UN activity is not fully...
