Supplementary information

The protein NPL4 known also as Nuclear Protein Localization 4 is involved in key cellular processes as a cofactor in the p97 ATPase complex. It has a molecular mass of approximately 68 kDa. NPL4 is expressed in different tissues with increased levels observed in dividing cells. Mechanically NPL4 aids in protein degradation by advancing the extraction of ubiquitinated substrates from the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway.
Biological function summary

NPL4 participates in the unfoldase activity required for the ERAD process. It functions within a complex that includes p97/VCP and other cofactors like UFD1. This complex targets misfolded proteins for degradation in the proteasome maintaining cellular proteostasis. In a broader scope NPL4 ensures efficient cellular response to protein stress which is necessary for normal cell cycle progression and mitosis.

Pathways

NPL4 integrates into essential proteostasis pathways interplaying with ERAD and the ubiquitin-proteasome system. It interacts with key proteins like UFD1 and p97/VCP within these pathways. The NPL4-p97-VCP complex facilitates protein dislocation during ER stress therefore influencing the unfolded protein response (UPR) a critical cellular adaptation mechanism.

Malfunction of NPL4 has links to neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. Impairments in NPL4 function and its complex with p97/VCP associate with the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins which contributes to pathological states such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and various tumor progressions. Mutations within proteins of this complex also play a role in those conditions underpinning the critical importance of NPL4 in cellular health.

Target data

The ternary complex containing UFD1, VCP and NPLOC4 binds ubiquitinated proteins and is necessary for the export of misfolded proteins from the ER to the cytoplasm, where they are degraded by the proteasome. The NPLOC4-UFD1-VCP complex regulates spindle disassembly at the end of mitosis and is necessary for the formation of a closed nuclear envelope (By similarity). Acts as a negative regulator of type I interferon production via the complex formed with VCP and UFD1, which binds to RIGI and recruits RNF125 to promote ubiquitination and degradation of RIGI (PubMed : 26471729).
