Npl4 decodes polyubiquitin length and gates D1-D2 coupling in human VCP/p97
2026-05-13
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> VCP/p97 binds the Npl4 <bold>–</bold> Ufd1 heterodimer adaptor to extract polyubiquitinated substrates for proteasomal degradation, but how it decodes K48-linked chain length and how D1-coupled events license downstream D2 power strokes remain unclear. Here we introduce smUbiRAD, or single-molecule ubiquitin recognition and dynamics, and identify a sharp chain-length threshold: Npl4...
