Fig. 1. Three conformational states of human p97 in complex with Npl4/Ufd1.

Fig. 1

a Domain architecture of human p97, Npl4, and Ufd1. Unresolved parts are shown with dotted lines. b Single-particle cryo-EM maps (unsharpened, 0.014 threshold) of human p97 in complex with Npl4/Ufd1. Three conformational states were resolved. The position of Npl4 relative to p97 is illustrated in the cartoons. Unresolved linkers between UBXL and ZF1 are represented by dotted lines. The central pore of the D1 ring in State III is highlighted by an arrowhead. The conserved groove of Npl4 that was found to bind an unfolded ubiquitin in the yeast complex structure14 was marked by a green band in State III.
