More evidence that LUBAC has functions beyond inflammation: Our study shows that LUBAC regulates AMPK signalling to control metabolic adaptation, autophagy, and cell death. This might explain the metabolic problems observed in LUBAC deficiency and ORAS patients. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Ubiquitin & Friends Fiesta in Vienna, 29-30 April 2026.

VCP/p97βs accessory adapters (FAF1, FAF2, UBXN7) boost unfolding and subsequent proteasomal degradation. #ubiquitin. Our paper is out now:

Image of FAF2's predicted helical domain interacting with the UFD1 UT3 domain. Next to this are similar images showing the predicted binding of de novo designed protein binders to the same region. Above is a sequence alignment indicating the key residues involved in the interaction.

Screening p97 cofactors, @prithadg.bsky.social identified FAF2 as the strongest activator of the p97-UFD1-NPL4 complex. Leveraging her mechanistic descoveries, we designed π₯π¦ π―π°π·π° binders that could also enhance p97 substrate unfolding.
