D1 ring is stable and nucleotide-independent, whereas D2 ring undergoes major conformational changes during the ATPase cycle of p97-VCP.

Abstract excerpt

The 97-kDa valosin-containing protein (p97-VCP) belongs to the AAA (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) family and acts as a molecular chaperone in diverse cellular events, including ubiquitinproteasome-mediated degradation. We previously showed that VCP contains a substrate-binding domain, N, and two conserved ATPase domains, D1 and D2, of which D2 is responsible for the major enzyme activity....
