Cell 169 (2017), 722–735.e9 This paper elucidates how the Cdc48 ATPase complex processes its substrates. Substrates are first bound through the attached polyubiquitin chain to the UN cofactor and then pulled through the central pore of the hexameric ATPase ring. The ubiquitin chain is trimmed by a DUB, and the remaining oligoubiquitin chain then follows the substrate through the pore. This paper and Ref. [49] show that the ATPase exerts a pulling force that leads to substrate unfolding.
